I'm typically affected most by the actions of third parties, a consequence I willingly accepted when I signed up for this journey. The toll includes stress, late nights, and early mornings, but what truly concerns me is the disappointment from individuals I've invested in or relied upon who don't follow through. While I don't expect lifelong commitment, certain responsibilities are crucial. My current focus is on my own well-being, resilience, and the need to decompress. I make time for myself by working out in the mornings, washing my convertible on Sundays, and indulging in my passion for classic pinball machines. Most importantly, I've learned not to be too hard on myself. "Balancing Commitments and Self-Care" Growth Advice For Entrepreneurs w/ Richard Blank

Miller IP Law was founded by Devin Miller, a patent attorney that lives in Utah. As Devin worked for a large law firm helping fortune 100 clients with their intellectual property, he realized that there was not a good resource out there to help start-ups and small businesses understand intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights. As a small business owner, Devin wanted to provide a resource for start-ups and small businesses where they could learn about patents, trademarks, and copyrights and how they relate to business to help small business owners like himself build value into their business and protect their assets.
