Brett Colvin: The Journey from Corporate Law to Entrepreneurship

The Calgary Sessions with Jeff Humphreys

What drives someone to walk away from a secure career in law to build something completely new?

Brett Colvin is the co-founder and CEO of Goodlawyer, a Calgary-based startup aiming to transform how people access legal services. In this episode, we explore Brett’s journey from aspiring professional soccer player to corporate lawyer, and finally, to entrepreneur.

We discuss what it was like growing up with a clinical psychologist mother and a stockbroker father, how Brett’s early dreams of sports shaped his work ethic, and why he decided to leave corporate law behind. Brett shares his passion for building businesses, like his experience running a painting franchise, and how that entrepreneurial drive eventually led him to create Goodlawyer, where he’s focused on transforming the legal industry.

If you're curious about entrepreneurship, personal growth, or the changing landscape of legal services, this episode is for you.
