Lawyer ➡️ Creator: My Journey Of Burnout Recovery (Recalibrating #1)

Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. In this video I introduce who I am, how I burnt out, and what I've been doing since I quit my job.

After working for 5+ years at a corporate law firm as an intellectual property lawyer and patent agent, I quit my job to pursue a life of freedom and creativity.

Why? I was burnt out by my job and I knew that I needed to make a change. Over the last 4-5 months, I have been researching burnout and what it means to live a sustainable life while writing a weekly newsletter ([Recalibrating](https://wanderloots.substack.com/)) sharing my best findings.

Over the last 3-4 years (since I returned from my 3 month backpacking trip to Africa), I have been practicing mindfulness and journaling as a way to improve my mental health and overall happiness.

I'm excited to tie together my knowledge as an IP lawyer and patent agent and my engineering studies with my experience as a photographer and mindfulness educator to create a channel that can help anyone improve their life, regardless of where they are at.

The purpose of this series is to explore what it means to be human in a world that is increasingly being impacted by artificial intelligence (AI), while teaching you how to build your own creation system to tap into the digital economy (creator economy, knowledge economy, attention economy).

This video series complements my Recalibrating newsletter, providing additional context to the world I am building here.

I hope you enjoy! ✨

P.S. I greatly appreciate any feedback, please let me know what you think 😊

ABOUT ME
My name is Callum, also known as wanderloots. I am an intellectual property lawyer, patent agent,, blockchain specialist, photographer, animator, videographer, writer, and studied engineering.

I quit my job to pursue a life of creativity while teaching people along the way. The world is changing more rapidly than ever before. Learning how to deal with change and recalibrate is the best skill I can learn, and hopefully the best skill I can teach you ✨
