Do What You Love: Hero 3 - Mark Del Bianco
Speaking of our nation's capitol, I've posted about D.C.-based telecom and lawyer's lawyer Mark C. Del Bianco before, including here a couple of weeks ago. And see this article on "The Law of Telecom" which Mark and I wrote for The Pennsylvania Lawyer. Mark's another Renaissance guy and person-who-gets-it. I've known him for about 20 years, and he loves what he does for clients with legal tech issues.
Telecom issues are Everywhere and in Every Deal these days--and Mark figured that out long before it happened. So Del Bianco became a telecommunications law brand--and yet people want to work with him in other areas where his experience and expertise is both broad and deep. If you practice law long enough, and love it the way he does, that will happen: antitrust law (he's also Vice Chair of the Computers and Internet Committee of the ABA's Antitrust Section), foreign trade law (he used to edit the Yale Journal of International Law) and even litigation (DOJ trained him a long time ago). And anything to do with that exciting yet inscrutable new point where the law intersects with the Internet, Technology and All Things Digital. SuperDad, athlete, well-read, well-traveled, and the guy other lawyers go to first for advice on the hard stuff, Mark is the first person you hire when you get elected President. Some say way too many Yale people have been working in or sniffing around the White House these days. I disagree.

Do What You Love: Hero 2 - Ellen Bry Masius
Ellen Bry, an actress you've been seeing for 20 years on everything from St. Elsewhere, Dallas and Star Trek to The Practice and The Closer, is the most un-LA woman I know: beauty, brains, taste, real class, classically-educated, Renaissance girl, person-who-gets-it, producer, advocate for autistic kids, ex-stunt girl (see first Superman movie), SuperMom, Tufts grad and a passion for Nantucket over Rodeo Drive. She can go from grieving to alluring in 2 seconds and then explain why Bill Shakespeare is even funnier than Howard Stern. She's got business sense, and knows what sells. She's here.

Do What You Love: Hero 1 - Chris Abraham
From D.C.-based Chris Abraham--friend, marketing consultant, inspirer, writer, Renaissance dude, interpreter, learner-teacher, person-who-gets-it, and the guy to spend time with when I want new ideas. And he's got the best laugh. I talk to him and read him to get back on track. He actually likes lawyers, and helps them. Those of us who consult him worry he'll go to law school. "Do What You Love", which he's covered better than anyone, is here.
