Rarely do you find a legal podcast as raw, candid and powerful as Trying 2 Win, a show about real-life legal battles inside and outside the courtroom. Sara Lincoln and Tricia Derr, co-founders of Lincoln Derr, have practiced law for more than 25 years. In building an enviable track record of success, they’ve also collected incredible stories. In Trying 2 Win, they share those stories, covering everything from early successes and failures to diversity in the courtroom to challenging witness interrogations and more. They also host special guests who share their unique experiences, whether that’s building a case behind the scenes or fighting it out in court. Whether you’re new to your law career or a seasoned veteran, this is the legal podcast you’ve been waiting for. It’s everything you wish they taught you in law school and so much more.
The Lincoln Derr podcast is a refreshing and unique addition to the world of legal podcasts. As someone without a legal background, I was initially unsure if this podcast would be for me. However, after listening to the first two episodes, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The inside anecdotes shared by Sara and Tricia provided a fascinating glimpse into the world of law, and as a female, it was particularly heartening to hear their experiences and advice on navigating the challenges faced by women in business.
One of the best aspects of The Lincoln Derr podcast is the relatable and inspiring stories shared by Sara and Tricia. They provide valuable insight into their own experiences as successful female attorneys, discussing topics that all women in business can relate to. This creates a sense of camaraderie and empowerment for female listeners, encouraging them to step into the trial arena with confidence. Additionally, their advice to get courtroom experience early in one's career is not only applicable to aspiring lawyers but also resonates with professionals in other industries. As someone who has worked in banking and education, I found their emphasis on practical experience over textbook knowledge or desk work extremely relevant.
While The Lincoln Derr podcast offers many positives, there are a few areas where it could improve. One aspect that could be strengthened is the organization of each episode. At times, the discussion seemed slightly disjointed or lacking a clear structure. This occasionally made it challenging to follow along or fully grasp the points being made. A more structured approach could enhance the overall listening experience and make it easier for listeners to absorb the valuable information being shared.
In conclusion, The Lincoln Derr podcast is an exciting addition to the legal podcast landscape. Sara and Tricia bring a fresh perspective with their engaging storytelling style and offer insights that are both educational and entertaining. Whether you have a legal background or simply enjoy TV legal dramas, this podcast has something for everyone. It provides a valuable platform for discussion and encouragement, particularly for women in business. I eagerly look forward to hearing more from these two successful female attorneys and gaining further insights from their experiences.
