Episode 71 features former professional baseball player and current Legal Director of US Regulatory at Uber, Jason Burch. In this episode, we chat with Jason about tuning into what makes you tick to find true happiness in your profession, as well as how he intentionally cultivates a more beautiful life by stretching himself to be a bit tired at the end of every day and a bit scared for the day ahead. We also talk about the importance of acting like a rocking chair (yes, you heard that right), picking up the phone, and avoiding loneliness in an in-house role. And we would be remiss if we didn’t mention our shared love for administrative law (we’ll forgive you if you don’t feel the same), and Jason’s incredible advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights as part of his service to the community. Enjoy!
Jason Burch is the Legal Director of US Regulatory at Uber, where he has worked for over six years. Prior to joining Uber, Jason was an associate in the Chicago and New York offices of Sidley Austin. He has served on the Board of Directors of the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of Dibbs. He was also a professional baseball player for over five years before going to law school.
Jason is a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.
