If you know me at all, you know I fucking hate surprises because I'm a NORMAL PERSON.

In today's episode of the FHTH Podcast, I'm delving into the psychology of why we worry, which is (surprise!) to avoid being surprised. 🤯

If you worry too much (chances are you do worry too much btw), I want you to understand that there is NOTHING wrong with you. Your brain is just doing its job: keeping y'all alive.

To learn more about why you worry, the effects worrying has on your health, and how to stop worrying, tune into the latest podcast!

Enjoy!

FHTH Podcast Episode 202 - How to make any juror answer work in your favor

Quote

Your job is to fight, not to win. That is your job. You are there to stand up for your client, plead their case, and get the facts out there. What a jury decides is a separate thing. The end. Your job is to fight.

"We're all making each other better. It feels like a family."

"I didn't know I needed this community until I was here."

"We don't have to look anymore."

In today's special episode, I sat down with some of my Crew to hear more about their H2H Playground experience.

I created this thing in 2020 to meet a need, but it's grown even beyond my initial vision. Now…? This group is changing the way law is practiced. And these 6 panelists are on the front line.

I'm excited to share their success and their journey with you.

Enjoy!

If your jurors aren't as outraged about the details of your case as you think they should be, I have a question for you:

Did you give them evidence, information, and facts? Or did you give them passion?

Because if you spoke about the horrific details of your case without any inkling of emotion in your voice… why would you expect the jury to feel anything but "meh"?

If you're going to effectively motivate your jurors to give you your verdict, you need them to be emotionally invested in your case.

How do you do that?

Tune in to today's episode of the FHTH podcast to learn how to get your jurors "appropriately rageful."

Enjoy!

You talk about these horrific events without a hint of emotion in your voice, and then you come, and you complain to me and say, "They're [the jurors] not appropriately rageful." Well, that's your fucking fault.

There are three little words that NEVER fail to strike fear into the hearts of plaintiff attorneys.

And if you think I'm going to say, "We the jury…" or, "Objection, your honor!" you're wrong.

The three scariest words I can say to y'all are:

YOU ARE AMAZING!

Seriously.

Do you have any fucking idea how fucking amazing you are? (Yes, I said fuck twice in one sentence, but I say it way more in this episode, so consider yourself warned.)

If you do not know how amazing you are, today's episode of the FHTH podcast is probably gonna be uncomfortable for you, which means you better go listen to it.

Like now.

I mean it!

Love,

Sari

P.S. I love you.

You do not have to earn amazing. You know why? Because you can't. Amazing isn't something you earn. It's something you are. Period.

If you're not in trial very often—which is true for many of y'all—that doesn't mean you lack opportunities to practice your craft.

Sure, the practice you get in court is important. But you shouldn't stop there.

(Aren't you happy that surgeons don't only practice on the job?)

There are lots of ways to bring more practice into your practice, no matter how much time you spend at trial.

And that's the topic for today's episode of the FHTH Podcast!

You'll want a notepad and pen for this one.

Enjoy!

How to incorporate more play into your practice

"If you want to be a kick-ass trial attorney, you have to get familiar with all your idiosyncrasies—all the weird nonverbal things that you do or don't do. You want to be intimately familiar with them. It's the only way that you can change them."

Y'all know I have a big 'ol crush on plaintiff trial attorneys. That's my area of expertise and the focus of all things H2H.

However, the H2H Method can be (and has been) successfully applied in criminal defense cases, too.

That's what I'm talking about in today's episode of the FHTH Podcast.

So. If you've been dying to know if you can take the H2H Method to your criminal defense trial, tune in for the answer.

Enjoy!

Never, Ever, Ever, Ever Do This In Trial

Sari de la Motte -

When your kid comes to you after you've found some evidence of wrongdoing, the more they explain why they're not guilty, the more guilty you know they fucking are, right? In criminal defense cases, the more you talk about why your person isn't guilty, the more guilty the jury will think they are.

Quote:

Sari de la Motte -

We tend to think, I've got to have the big verdicts and do the cool trial lawyer shit, and then I will be a great trial lawyer. But the opposite is true. You have to decide right now that you are a terrific trial lawyer because once you firmly believe that and start wiring your brain to believe it, you will start doing the things great trial lawyers do. Then you will have the results that they're getting.
