Ever had that nightmare where you show up to a job… and realize you forgot your machine? Or your laptop? Or both? For some reporters, it’s not a nightmare — it’s real life.

In this episode, you’ll hear jaw-dropping “horror stories” from the field — including what happens when reporters arrive without their essential gear — and how they handled it with professionalism (and composure!) under pressure.

We’re also pulling back the curtain on the true earning potential in court reporting, including how one reporter made nearly $100K from a single job — and what you can do to position yourself for opportunities like that.

You’ll also meet Michele Savoy, RMR, a certified merit reporter since 2012 — one of the highest national certifications in our field — who shares her experience, her lessons, and her best advice for navigating both the disasters and the windfalls that come with this career.

From horror stories to six-figure days, this episode proves that court reporters see, hear, and experience it all.
