Series

In this 5 part mini-series, I dive deep into 5 topics that I believe require further investigation and discussion. In these narrative-style investigative episodes, I speak with several of today’s brightest legal scholars and activists as I explore and uncover the reality behind these topics.

Time – Episode 79

Lawyers have such an interesting relationship with time. It seems like we’re in a constant race to gain more time in our lives. In this episode, I dive deep into the origins of the billable hour, explore where it’s heading, and evaluate whether it still serves a purpose in the legal profession.

Creativity – Episode 80

Is it possible for creativity to exist within the law? Can lawyers be creative in their practices or must they turn outwards for creative fulfillment? In this episode, I explore the idea of creativity and it’s role in a lawyer’s life.

Buyer’s Remorse – Episode 81

Is law school worth it? Are 6-figure student loan debts worth it? In this episode, I speak with several legal educators and scholars on the topic of legal education in today’s world.

Female Lawyer Exodus – Episode 82

Why are there so many women leaving the practice of law? Where are they going? How must the legal profession change in order for more women to remain in the profession? Finally, who is it that needs to lead this change?

Millennials in the Legal Profession – Episode 83

“Those awful, lazy, entitled Millennials…” If I had a dime for every time I heard a negative stereotype used to described my generation, Gen Y, I’d be a rich gal. In this episode, I invite a few friends to discuss the impact of such stereotypes on our generation.

These 4 episodes cover 4 areas of health that lawyers should focus on in order to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. Each episode is dedicated to a different aspect of health: mental, physical, financial, and relational.

This is a must listen podcast for lawyers

When I was a new lawyer, I didn't feel that I had the support I needed to flourish. This podcast is a great tool for all lawyers - new or seasoned - to begin taking their lives and their practices to the next level. It offers the support to lawyers that I believe more of us need in this profession.
Excellent podcast for lawyers!

This podcast is one of my favs. I get so excited when I see I have a new episode to listen to. The host’s energy is great and I like the style of interviewing. For me, sometimes it’s just nice to hear how other attorneys are living (and hopefully loving) their lives. A perfect balance of different ages, practice areas, and lifestyles represented.
Wow!!

A Must Listen for any Entrepreneur Lawyer
November 12, 2018 by Dan Nguyen Esq from United States
TGYL podcast is a must listen to any an attorney that has their own practice or responsible for their own book of business. The guests are top notch and Karima does a great job as a host getting the best information out. I've heard a lot of information elsewhere, but when you hear it one more time from other colleagues in the trenches it has a little more weight behind it and easier for us to take action to take our practices to the next level.
Excellent podcast!

I work with unhappy lawyers, and it was my pleasure to be a guest on this podcast - I also took the opportunity to listen to a bunch of the other episodes and got hooked. Well worth your time - there's good, useful stuff here.
Great podcast

Even though I'm not a lawyer, I really like this podcast because the host asks questions that can apply to any entrepreneur or small business owner.
Great resource for young attorneys

Excellent BUT One Huge Problem

Great content overall. However, the host is too often doing the absolute worst and most annoyingly thing possible for podcast listeners: uttering “yes” or “uh huh” or “yeah” or the like as the person being interviewed is speaking. Do NOT do this!! Just let them speak. I realize it’s a social habit that we use when speaking in a personal conversation, but it’s supremely distracting for listeners in a context such as this. Trust me on this one. You will notice that the best podcast hosts virtually never interrupt speakers/guests. Otherwise keep up the good work.
