- Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/corporate-cover-up-how-science-helped-win-a-%241/id1679622653?i=1000693028236Initially a scientist, Mary confronted personal tragedy in her life by moving from public health and the lab to law school and the courtroom, recognizing the value in the court’s enforcement mechanisms.
Now, Mary is widely recognized as one of the country’s top personal injury lawyers. One example? Mary’s decades-long work litigating against lead paint manufacturers led to a settlement over $1 billion and helped changed the industry. She’s been inducted into the California State Bar’s Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame and served as president for the American Association of Justice and the Consumer Attorneys of California.
So sit back and enjoy as we delve into Mary’s path, the challenges she’s faced, the successes she’s had, and the wisdom she’s learned along the way.

38 min - ABOTA, the Civil Grand Jury, a night in Jail: Larry Kern’s Legal Journey
I’m very excited to share this conversation with Larry Kern, founder of Kern, Segal & Murray.
This Part III of this conversation. If you missed Part II, make sure to stream it first:
- Youtube: https://youtu.be/jGOxOwVeXio?si=zWaBz3nMbPoip8Qm
- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4EWZjO3pjluESlaWSjBnsn?si=N2onVpxlTUaMjUH3HOOpBA
- Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/poker-faces-and-jury-minds-the-art-of-reading-people/id1679622653?i=1000685717653
With over 50 years in active trial practice, Larry is a living legend, and with his wealth of knowledge Larry currently provides trial consulting services to others. He was one of the youngest members admitted to the American Board of Trial Advocates, to which he was elected in 1981. While his career has taken him many places I will always think of Larry as THE taxicab lawyer, before rideshare companies gutted the taxi industry.
His life has taken him from being the legendary Melvin Belli’s runner to trying a case against Belli 20 years later, with bet-the-company taxi industry cases and visits to the World Series of Poker tables to round things out.
So please sit back and enjoy this conversation with the sui generis, never predictable, but always entertaining Larry Kern.

34 min - Kelly & Juliet Starrett on Walking Meetings, Movement & Sleep for Desk-Bound Workers
I’m honored to be able to share this conversation with Kelly and Juliet Starrett. This is Part II of this conversation. If you missed Part I, make sure to stream it first:
- Youtube: https://youtu.be/PSUp9n45xyc
- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2lKCwrGKg4jRSKlOwD2XCK
- Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lawyers-burnout-mobility-tips-for-staying-healthy-with/id1679622653?i=1000682819426
The Starretts are at the top of their game, and that game is helping people across the board gain and maintain mobility. With Zoom lawyering more and more prevalent this conversation is aimed at helping the deskbound take care of themselves.
The Starretts, through their company The Ready State, work with the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and the US Olympic Team as well as Tier 1 elite military units.
The methods apply equally well to desk jockeys, children, and anyone dealing with injuries and chronic pain. Their teaching is available through New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling books, The Ready State podcast, their mobility app, and if you’re in the Bay Area, their San Rafael-based studio.
Juliet came to this through world champion level whitewater paddling with an 8-year stint as a complex commercial litigator at Reed Smith before working with Kelly to build the incredibly successful San Francisco CrossFit.
Kelly’s background is a passion for movement and improvement, honed through Doctor of Physical Therapy and decades of working with the best of the best to help them reach the outer limits.
So please sit back – with regular mobility breaks – and enjoy the insights the Starretts have for us.

40 min - Navigating Cruise Ship Litigation & Aviation Law with Gretchen Nelson
I’m thrilled to share this conversation with Gretchen Nelson. This Part III of this conversation
If you missed Part II, make sure to stream it first:
- Youtube: https://youtu.be/ZZaSN3ed3BM
- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3wSh99yTKV1GAODvHjDZOe
- Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-horseback-riding-shaped-gretchen-nelsons-legal/id1679622653?i=1000679789151
Gretchen is a leader in our field. As one of only four lawyers serving on the California Judicial Council, she guides our court system’s present and future operations. She does this while maintaining a full practice as a partner with Nelson & Fraenkel, where she focuses on complex class actions, business torts, and cruise ship and maritime matters. Each area in which she focuses is tailored to her style – complicated high line work that requires tremendous focus. Given her history, including representing family members from the 1986 Cerritos Air Disaster where 82 people were killed when a Piper Cherokee collided with an Aeroméxico flight over Los Angeles, it is no surprise that she has a passion for social justice. This passion was nurtured by her father, a former US Navy test pilot who earned his law degree at night school and went on to make his own social justice impact.
So please sit back and enjoy this conversation with the wonderful Gretchen Nelson!

35 min - Creativity & A.I. in Law Firm Marketing: Insights from Zachary Morvant
Today’s conversation with marketing creative consultant Zach Morvant is a wonderful primer on the marketing details lawyers and law firm professionals should think about but often, in the press of casework, don’t. This Part III of this conversation. If you missed Part I, make sure to stream it first:
- Youtube:https://youtu.be/CJdpd2vrWyw
- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2kZQQc2Pnr9f5O4XCJiOth?si=NPJk9zmKQg-XeMvQWaLPpg
- Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-your-firms-audience-zachary-morvant-on-legal/id1679622653?i=1000677305504
Zach’s background as a creative includes work within large companies like Survey Monkey and Scribd, at the agency level, and running his own creative consulting company. In the brevity and brilliance department he’s the best wordsmith I’ve come across with his ability to pack punchy messaging into very few words. With Zach’s help we’ll dive into how to best work with marketing and creative types to help build successful messaging and branding, while learning a little about growing up in Alaska along the way.
Zach approaches his creative work with the same discipline and determination that applies to his other passion, cycling. There his mastery in diverse styles including fixed gear, road, gravel, ultradistance, and randonneuring has placed him on countless podiums, most recently in first place at the 200-mile Fireweed Road Race in Alaska, where he spent a good portion of his childhood. You can follow Zach’s adventures on Instagram @zmorvant. So please sit back and enjoy this illuminating conversation as we explore the wide world of marketing and learn how we can all be better at it.
