125. The Story of a Lawyer Who Truly Helps People

Today I am joined by a legend, Jahan Kalantar.Jahan Kalantar is a Sydney-based solicitor, university lecturer, and entrepreneur who describes himself as a ‘little guy lawyer’. He attributes his human rights leanings to his proud Persian heritage, a dislike of bullies and a genuine belief that one person can make a difference.Leaving a successful career in finance in order to pursue law, he was admitted to the NSW Bar Association at the age of 25. Subsequently, he established and became a partner at the firm of Executive Legal where he heads up the serious crime and mental health practice.Jahan is just an awesome guy, he has achieved so much at his age and I found this episode really powerful.He also has built a following sharing legal advice on TikTok with over 400,000 followers which we don’t really touch on in the interview, but it has been a very beneficial platform for him.Find JahanWebsite: https://www.jahankalantar.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jahankalantarofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jahankalantar/Everything Byron and Driven Young related go here: https://solo.to/byrondempsey Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

I started the Driven Young Podcast as a way to help educate and inspire the younger generation. There are plenty of amazing podcasts out there but I find very few tailors their content to those in high-school and uni. Even the ones that claim they do seem to go off track and fail to keep their message clear and simple for the younger generation to understand.I believe our world is changing so fast, the current education system can’t keep up and is left teaching us old and outdated skills no longer relevant in the workplace.This podcast explores what I believe should have been taught in school and aims to help people realise the world is different from when their parents grew up and we must make relevant decisions based on the world we live in currently not the world people used to live in
