"I'm not charismatic."
"I need to be more persuasive." "I wish I was more like [insert-famous-trial-attorney]." Newsflash: Trial is not -about- you. But it's also -totally- about you. Listen to this podcast to learn more. 
In my webinar with Jesse Wilson we talked about how to harness the power of the underdog.
In that webinar, we talked about three ways you victimize your client, yourself and the jurors. I've taken the highlights from that webinar and put them in this podcast. Learn how to make the underdog story work for you. Listen to this podcast to learn more. 
What are the main tools of a defense attorney?
As Rick Friedman, in his book Rules of the Road, says: Confusion, Complexity and Ambiguity So why are you playing into their game?

What does it mean to "ring the bell?"

And right now we have a huge opportunity to redirect our lives and live life on purpose. But only if we lean into the pause. Give this podcast a listen and learn more.
