Lauderdale… I was still in law school and ended up clerking for a bankruptcy attorney, loved it, and everybody needed bankruptcy help at that time, so it was the perfect opportunity for me to be able to help people and business owners.

Squid Games: The Challenge
RMU alum Chad Van Horn ‘05 recently starred in the Netflix Original series Squid Games: The Challenge, a reality TV show based off of the massively popular Squid Games which aired in November 2023.
When South Florida attorney Chad Van Horn lost his high-stakes bid on the hit Netflix series Squid Games, many assumed his time in the spotlight had come to an abrupt end. Not so fast.
“A friend of mine told me about the original show and said, ‘I think you’d really like it.’ It sounded strange to me, and I told him, ‘I don’t think I’ll like it.’ But the parallels between what I do… made the show really hit home for me. The same friend sent me a link and told me they were doing a reality show. He said, ‘We should do it,’ so we sent in a one-minute video, and the next day, I got a phone call.
Advice for Success
“First off, I would say find a good mentor. Find somebody that you look up to and that can point you in the right direction to help you from learning things the hard way,” Van Horn said, “Next, find your passion and do something you’re passionate about. I know we all have to make money…but doing something you’re passionate about, especially long-term, I think is going to put you in a better position.
