How To Critically Think About Career Choices: Hope for Unhappy Lawyers

Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo welcome Casey Berman: former attorney, founder of Leave Law Behind (the leading coaching program helping attorneys transition into non-legal careers), multipreneur, strategy consultant, speaker, and author, for a discussion about work, identity, happiness, and the courage it takes to choose a different life. Casey knows this territory from the inside. He lived it. And he has spent years helping thousands of attorneys find what he calls their Unique Genius, the specific intersection of talent and joy that, when aligned with their work, produces not just professional success but the deeper contentment that a career in law, for many, was never able to provide. What we explore in this episode: The reality of life inside the legal profession, the hours, the pace, the stress, the culture, and why so many attorneys feel trapped even when their career looks successful from the outside What you can actually do with a law degree that doesn't involve practicing law, and why the answer is far broader and more interesting than most law students are ever told: consulting, compliance, legal technology, entrepreneurship, writing, business development, policy, education, coaching, and more than 100 documented alternatives The specific steps Casey recommends for assessing whether your unhappiness is situational (the wrong firm, the wrong practice area, the wrong city) or fundamental (the wrong career entirely), and why getting that diagnosis right is the most important first step How to get feedback from the people in your life, family, friends, colleagues, mentors, to identify what you are genuinely good at, what lights you up, and where your skills create value outside a courtroom or a contract review Bertrand Russell and The Conquest of Happiness, and why Russell's argument that most human unhappiness is self-generated and rooted in the wrong relationship to work maps precisely onto what Casey has observed in the legal profession for over a decade What Russell wrote about the sunk cost of identity: why we must be willing to let go of what we have invested in, emotionally, financially, intellectually, when it's clear it is not our talent or our strength, and why it is not only acceptable but necessary to grieve the self you thought you would be Rudy's perspective as a lawyer who stayed, and his advice for law students: do not let go of what makes you happy, because the time you spend on those things (screenwriting, acting, podcasting) will make you a better lawyer, not a worse one Casey's thoughts on the role of AI in law, what this means for the profession and those going into law. The philosophy of the examined career: what Socrates, Russell, and Casey Berman all agree on about the relationship between self-knowledge, honest feedback, and the possibility of genuine happiness in your work Books Mentioned in this episode (with Amazon Affiliate link): The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell The Million Dollar One Person Business by Elaine Pofeldt The Ancient Art of Thinking For Yourself: The Power of Rhetoric in Polarized Times by Robin Reames Guest: Casey Berman: founder of Leave Law Behind, the leading coaching program helping attorneys identify and transition into fulfilling non-legal careers. Multipreneur, strategy consultant, speaker, and storyteller. Former attorney. His work has been featured across major media and podcast platforms. Based in San Francisco. Good Is In The Details is hosted by Gwendolyn Dolske, Ph.D. and Rudy Salo — a philosophy, books, and ideas podcast exploring the examined life in the spirit of Socrates.

You can find Alyson Richman at www.alysonrichman.com or on IG @alysonrichman.   If you're a historical fiction lover, you've probably read something by Alyson Richman. She's the author of 11 novels, including The Missing Pages, which was published last fall. We were delighted that she agreed to come on the show and speak to us about this book, although we did sneak in a question about The Velvet Hours published in 2016, which our book club read many years ago. It is about a real Paris courtesan in the Belle Epoque who in her later years as World War II approaches shares her life story with her granddaughter.   The Missing Pages is a historical fiction novel that is about a man's love of books, but it is also a ghost tale, a romance, and a story of the Titanic all rolled into one. Richman is known for making the reader feel the sumptuous details of the world she is writing about, and she does it again in this book.   Our book rec segment of the show is all about musicians, but we're not talking solely about musician memoirs, although we do have one of those. We've got a children's nonfiction book about a Ukrainian pianist who performed for Nazsis, a National Book Award winner, a mystery about a stolen violin, a story about a wedding singer whose own relationship is on the rocks, and a coming of age story set in the 1970s that includes a rock star.    Books Mentioned in This Episode: 1- The Missing Pages by Alyson Richman  2- The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman  3- The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray  4- All the Beauty in the World by Patrick Bringley  5- Buckeye by Patrick Ryan  6- The Hare with the Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal  7- Underlake by Erin L.

LaRue discusses the dual mindset required for extreme performances - maintaining professional awareness while sometimes becoming genuinely immersed in the experience. She emphasizes that **safety measures and consent are always paramount**, crediting Red Bottom Productions Studio for creating secure working environments. The conversation explores LaRue's journey of sexual exploration and how her work helps others discover new interests safely. She shares insights about her business-minded approach to the industry, leveraging her marketing background to create a unique niche rather than working through traditional agencies. LaRue also touches on important topics like women's sexual health, the role of self-exploration, and defending adult entertainment as both entertainment and educational content that promotes consent education. She discusses her recent AVN nomination and various platforms where fans can find her content, particularly recommending MintStars, a new sex worker-owned platform.

For a long time, the church has assumed that if people just receive the right teaching, real transformation will follow. But this conversation pushes back on that idea in a big way.  Michael Sullivant joins Brandon and Jen to explore what happens when brain science, attachment theory and spiritual formation are brought into the same room. They unpack how the human brain was designed for belonging, why attachment is central to identity and how emotional and relational maturity have too often been separated from spiritual maturity. The conversation moves into the difference between left-brained information and right-brained formation, how trauma leaves unfinished stories in people and why joy is not a side issue but a major part of becoming like Christ. Michael also shares practical rhythms that can help rewire the brain toward peace, gratitude, and deeper connection with God and community. This one gets into discipleship, healing, joy, trauma, gratitude, group identity, healthy correction and why the church may be overdue for a relational reformation.https://radiusministries.orghttps://lifemodelworks.orgDownload the Hearing Heart App at the Apple Store.Books Mentioned:https://amzn.to/47Mb2BShttps://amzn.to/4c2msnyhttps://amzn.to/3Q1PMltTo get links to the free books Michael mentioned, email: sandy@unrefinedpodcast.com

"Those date nights are super, super important. But I encourage every man to do this: date night is yours. You own it. You're in charge of it. You plan it. You figure out where you're going. Her job is to show up and look beautiful. That's it. You're in charge." "I believe that it is encoded in our DNA, as men, to pursue. We know how to do that. But something happens to us once we get her, meaning the wedding day. It's like a switch back here turns off. We stop pursuing." "Everything else you do in life is built around date night. Everything. It's that important. Without it, your marriage is going to die." "I always think of health first, personally, because I feel like if my health is off, everything else is off. It doesn't matter what else is going on."

After years of working with analytically minded professionals in STEM, finance, and high-stakes corporate environments, Susan has noticed a clear pattern: the clients who get fast, lasting results aren't just doing mindset work, they're doing something more. In this episode, she breaks down the specific behaviors, habits, and reading practices that separate the people who transform from the people who stay stuck, and lays out exactly what you can start doing this week to close the gap.   In This Episode •Why mindset work alone won't get you where you want to go — and what has to accompany it •The pattern Susan keeps seeing in clients who transform quickly vs. those who stay stuck •How your physical habits are directly shaping your social presence and confidence •The neuroscience behind why exercise changes how you show up in high-stakes conversations •Why discomfort isn't in the way of your growth — it is the path •The reading list of high achievers who took their transformation seriously •A specific three-part challenge to start this week   Key Takeaway Confidence is not something you find — it's something you build. And it's built the same way high achievers build everything else: through early mornings, intentional physical habits, voracious reading, and the repeated practice of doing hard things on purpose.   Books Mentioned in This Episode •The 5 AM Club — Robin Sharma •Atomic Habits — James Clear •The Compound Effect — Darren Hardy •High Performance Habits — Brendon Burchard •The Laws of Human Nature — Robert Greene •Mastery — Robert Greene •Extreme Ownership — Jocko Willink **  Don't even know where to begin in improving your people skills?

Don’t forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! Do you ever wonder what the point of prayer is if God already knows what he's going to do? If so, you're not alone...and you definitely don't want to miss this episode! This week, Jaime sits down for a powerful and timeless conversation from the podcast archives with Jennifer Kennedy Dean, beloved author of Live a Praying Life. Though Jennifer unexpectedly passed away in 2019, her message continues to impact women around the world who long for deeper intimacy with Christ. In this episode, Jennifer shares the heart behind living in ongoing communion with God—not treating prayer as a spiritual task list, but as a lifestyle of surrender, attentiveness, and transformation. Jennifer unpacks how prayer aligns us with God’s purposes rather than persuading Him to adopt ours, while highlighting the importance of being willing participants in the mystery of prayer. She speaks candidly about her struggles when her brother passed away from illness after fervent prayers of her whole family, and how sometimes God's best "yes" to our prayers doesn't look quite like we'd imagined or even hoped for. If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your prayers weren’t “working,” or wondered why God sometimes seems silent, this conversation will absolutely bring you hope and encouragement. Jennifer’s legacy continues through her writing and ministry, inviting women everywhere into a richer, more transformative prayer life.
