This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast, our host Robert Hanna speaks to Siavash Khazamipour.Siavash is a personal injury lawyer at McComb Witten Personal Injury Lawyers and is based in Vancouver, Canada. He's worked at the firm for six years, navigating a variety of cases in the unique legal jurisdiction of British Columbia.At the University of Toronto, he was the youngest ever Chair of the Canadian Lawyers for International Human Rights society, representing refugees on a pro bono basis. This is a cause close to his heart due to his own refugee background (his parents settled in Canada after facing political persecution in Iran). Siavash himself was brought up in a relatively low income migrant community in downtown Toronto, giving him first-hand experience and understanding of the challenges faced by underprivileged migrant communities.Away from work, Siavash is a keen proponent of BitClout, a new online platform combing cryptocurrency and decentralised social media (effectively turning social media stars into tradable assets, via the medium of 'Creator Coins'). In this episode, we cover:His family's refugee background, and the unique nature of Canada's legal pathwayHow he got his current role and what the job entails on a daily basisThe importance of having a purpose in one's legal career journeyHis involvement in BitClout, a new decentralised platform that combines social media and cryptocurrencyWhy he goes by the nickname of 'Memes' and what advice he'd give to his younger self Out now on the Legally Speaking Podcast website and all major audio platforms!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/legallyspeakingpodcast)
