Ep. 218 - How To Design An Alliance With Anyone

July 07, 2023 09:30 - 16 minutes - 23.1 MB

If you’ve experienced the power of Designed Alliance in voir dire, wait ‘til you try it in your everyday life.  That’s right, my friend. Once you learn the incredible skill of “design,” don’t save it for jury selection! Use that shit everywhere and anywhere you want buy-in and/or a win-win outcome. I’m talking with friends, clients, colleagues, children, spouses, siblings, etc. Even while planning a trip to Disneyland… which I’ll discuss more in today’s episode of the FHTH podcast. ...

Ep. 217 - The Secret Hack to Motivation

June 30, 2023 09:30 - 15 minutes - 21.4 MB

If you’re relying on willpower to make changes in your life, that’s probably why you’re not seeing results. That’s because human beings don’t have an unlimited amount of willpower, so we shouldn’t depend on it to motivate us when we’re trying to create lasting change.  Guess what? Rewards don’t work, either.  So. What should you do when you want to motivate yourself?  Tune in to today’s episode of the FHTH podcast for the answer! Enjoy! Sari   Quote: Sari de la Motte: “I ...

Ep. 211 - You’re Probably Going To Lose (And That’s A Good Thing)

May 19, 2023 09:30 - 19 minutes - 26.4 MB

Statistically speaking, plaintiff attorneys are more likely to lose.  It’s just a fact. (At least until H2H changes things, and I believe it will.) So… if you’re obsessed with winning, you’re in for a shit ton of disappointment because the odds are literally against you.  Sure, you want to win (who doesn’t?), but there’s a difference between wanting to win and having to win.  I go into more detail about this in today’s episode, and I promise you it’s one you do NOT want to miss.  -...
