Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie Boxerbaum.
Hi Stephanie, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I am originally from Dallas and moved to Los Angeles for law school. I believe connection is a superpower and have always wanted to support people in whatever they are doing, along with developing entreprenurial adventures! Currently, I’m the founder and managing partner at Box Counsel, an entreprenurial law firm for content creators and visionaries in the entertainment industry. We believe our job is to protect and optimize our clients’ ambition.
Additionally, I teach mindfulness meditation and also created a curated community called High Vibe Secret Society that’s all about sharing recommendations around food, travel and high vibe inspired details that help life feel efficient and inspiring!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I think any entreprenurial venture comes with its challenges. I was pregnant with our second child when I told my husband I wanted to start my own law firm and despite my pregnancy being very challenging, I am grateful I moved forward with starting my own business. You never really know how anything will work out but you have to try! With regard to teaching meditation, I truly didn’t have a plan other than that I knew I was “supposed” to sign up for this two year teacher training. I was nervous in the beginning but I think if we can listen to ourselves when we make these kinds of decisions, you learn more to trust your instincts and just take the leap!
We’ve been impressed with Box Counsel , but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Box Counsel is dedicated to the content creator journey. We believe every creator can move forward with their ambition and be protected at the same time! We specialize in entertainment law and can help a creator not only with their digital deals but also act as their advisor with all business opportunities as their career continues to grow in the entertainment industry. You can learn more about the firm here: www.boxcounsel.com. I also personally offer teaching mindfulness meditation and you can find my meditations on Insight Timer, along with signing up for my online meditation group as well at stephanieboxerbaum.com. I truly believe self-compassion is so important and my meditation style is designed for the stressed out person who is looking to find more ease in their life.

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I am definitely a risk taker within reason, ha. Starting my own business from scratch while pregnant was definitely a big risk. I only had one client at the time but I truly believed creators needed someone on their side, looking out for their best interests and someone who could ensure they would be protected. I think my general perspective is that mindful risk taking is always worth it. I know some people believe it is OK to put their life savings into their dream and I would say from an advisory/legal perspective, that it is always worth doing a bit more analysis before taking a risk that could really cause some major upheaval. It may take a bit longer to reach the dream but by applying a mindful mindset, there are ways to still move forward with taking risks.
