Send us a text

David just turned 40, and Brad recently hit 50, so it’s the perfect time for a milestone birthday edition of the podcast. The duo looks back on the lessons they’ve learned and the advice they’d give their younger selves. From overcoming fear-based decision-making to dealing with societal expectations and lawyer stereotypes, they share candid thoughts on what it really means to live life by design.

Brad talks about the importance of simply making a decision (even if it's the wrong one) and embracing failure. David opens up about shifting his law practice, embracing marketing, and letting go of fear around public perception. They also discuss the power of kindness in an adversarial profession, the value of repetition and small habits, and how not to let a bad morning ruin your whole day. Whether you’re 28 or 58, today’s episode will have some encouragement for you!

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

🎯 Living life by your own design

🗣️ Nobody is thinking about you as much as you think- so go for it
