Alex Gertsburg

Hi, I’m Alex. I’m a lawyer by day, but I’m also so much more, and that’s what I want to write about here.

I immigrated to this country at a young age and had to deal with feeling like an outsider for most of my life. I did the things you were supposed to do: got an education, served in the armed forces, got married and had kids, etc. But they didn’t deliver on their promises.

I thought serving was tough, but the toughest decision I ever had to make was initiating a divorce from my wife and the mother of my kids. But it was the beginning of a process of confronting a lot of things about myself that I had been avoiding.

As I started to do the work on myself and rediscover joy in my life, I began to write down some of the thought processes and habits and insights that helped me along the way. Then it dawned on me that other people might benefit from them.

Meanwhile, I started my own law firm, hired a bunch of people, and met a great new woman. It’s some of the hardest work of my life, but I’m loving it.

That’s me: Entrepreneur, dad, partner, friend, curiosity-seeker, and avid collector of billions of tiny moments of adventure, joy, love, gratitude, and presence.
