Abe Kwon: Career Risk, Success, and Building a Life That Actually Fits
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Success gets a lot more complicated once you actually start achieving it.
Abe Kwon is a partner at Lowenstein Sandler LLP, where he advises founders, startups, and venture-backed companies.
But this conversation was really about the decisions behind the resume — career pivots, risk, family, and figuring out what success actually means as priorities change over time.
In this episode of the SideBar Advisors podcast, we talk about career pivots, taking risks when things are already going well, and how he found work that actually aligned with his personality and interests.
Abe also shares candidly about balancing partnership, family life, nonprofit leadership, and the evolving relationship many professionals have with money, success, and time as their careers progress.
A lot of legal careers look polished from the outside. This episode gets into what they actually feel like behind the scenes.
