This episode was inspired by my friend and mentor Dr. Katie Deming. Katie is a radiation oncologist, meaning she works with cancer patients. On a recent episode of her new podcast, she talked about the difference between curing vs. healing, and delved into the topic of what is or should the role of doctors be. And it caused me to consider the same thing for lawyers: what should the role of lawyers be for our clients?

In her episode, Katie told the story of the villager and the river. I share that story in this episode to hopefully get you to think about what I believe is a very important topic for lawyers. I would love to hear your thoughts on it, which you can share with me at [email protected].
