Lawyer, fitness and beer enthusiast checking in here. Trust me, you made the right call. A lot of bitter attorneys talk about how much the job sucks in general, but it's really all about passion. I wish I cared as much about the law as I do about my squats and my saisons, but I don't. I'm still figuring out what I want to with my career, and the law degree has honestly felt more like a burden than an asset at times. My general advice to people thinking about law school is that you should only go if you want to practice law more than anything else.
In your case, especially since you were set to go to Harvard, you basically wouldn't be offered any work-life balance jobs. I wish you the best of luck with this venture and look forward to trying your products soon. If it doesn't work out, you can always apply again to law school. You'll easily get in to a number of great schools the second time around.
