Writer, lawyer and professor Cameron Stracher's career has had its ups and downs. He left big-firm life for an in-house position and then made his way to a media law boutique.

So Stracher made a decision about his lifestyle -- the one he blames himself for creating as he chased the almighty dollar. Stracher's big life change started with making dinner with his family a priority.
