20. Courage and Intention: How Radical Honesty Creates Stronger Attorneys | Joe Fried, Fried Goldberg


Listen Later

Joe Fried is synonymous with truck accident law. He pioneered trucking litigation best practices used around the country. And co-founded the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys. In practice for over 18 years, the founding partner of Atlanta-based Fried Goldberg has recovered over $1 billion for clients.

Today we discover what makes Joe, Joe. He made a choice over a decade ago that sounds simple enough, but requires incredible courage - he chose to be honest. To himself and to everyone around him. This shift has changed his life, how he approaches the business of law, and even how he gives depositions. He offers practical advice on how to harness our emotional states and influence those around us. 

Key takeaways:

  • Lead by example. When people in positions of power express vulnerability, it gives everyone around them permission to do the same. 
  • Change your posture, change your state. Body language and even the breath can cause both physical and emotional changes. Ramp it up to change the states of those around you.
  • Flip the switch.  If you're having a bad day, take ownership of your state. Draw from the memory bank of positive emotions and turn your day to good. It only takes two minutes.
