Michael Cowen is a successful trial lawyer and host of the popular podcast, Trial Lawyer Nation.  He joins us to talk about the power he has gained from learning to overcome his own insecurities and to place his trust in juries to do what is right.  Michael talks about how working on his own mindset has produced better results in his trials and made him a happier person.  He goes on to talk about systems he uses to prepare for trial, run his law firm and manage his employees.  He talks about what got him into podcasting and how he built his show, Trial Lawyer Nation, into a great success.As a graduate of Texas A&M University in 1991, Michael is a proud Aggie. After obtaining his degree, Michael attended law school at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law where he graduated in 1995 with high honors and earned the top score on the Texas Bar Exam. To this day, Michael is still asked about this achievement so early in his career.After graduating, Michael clerked for Judge Reynaldo G. Garza on the Fifth Circuit.In 1996 Michael moved to New York, where he joined Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, the oldest law firm in the nation. It was his legal experience in New York representing a number of corporations, which led him to his passion to help people when they have been injured and are in need of help the most.After returning to Texas, Michael spent his legal career handling a wide variety of injury cases. His experience gathering and interpreting evidence has helped him continue to be the most prepared attorney in the courtroom. As a Board Certified attorney in personal injury trial law, Michael has spoken at numerous CLE courses on a range of topics, which include pre-trial motions, roof crush litigation, trucking accidents, trial skills, oil field accidents, product liability and the preservation of evidence.One of Michael's notable accomplishments involves his work in a product liability case. Seven months after he requested a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into defective Chinese-made tires distributed by the Hercules Tire & Rubber Company, the tire importer announced it would recall seven sizes of certain All Trac A/T SUV tires. This recall was the result of hard work and dedication to not only the client's Michael Cowen represents, but also the public who deserve to be safe on our roads.In 2016, Michael celebrated 20 years of practicing law and is devoted to passing on his years of experience and lessons learned along the way, to his peers in the legal community. As a seasoned trial lawyer Michael has experience handling over 100 trials. Whether it is a CLE course hosted by TTLA, AAJ, AIEG, or a CLE event hosted by Cowen | Rodriguez | Peacock, Michael takes pride in continuing to give his time to not only his clients, but his colleagues as well. He also welcomes the opportunity to work on cases with fellow attorneys, especially in trucking, oil field accidents and product liability matters.In 2018 Michael created the podcast Trial Lawyer Nation and hosts two episodes every month where he helps share industry knowledge for fellow plaintiff attorneys. The podcast has grown so quickly it has now been heard in every state in the United States, as well as other countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Sweden, and more.About the Elawvate PodcastThe Elawvate Podcast – Where Trial Lawyers Learn, Share, and Grow is where the practice of trial law meets personal growth.

"You need to invest in yourself. There's no better investment you can have than your investment in yourself. I don't care about the stock market or real estate. You are in this profession. You are your most valuable resource." - Michael Cowen Why does Michael focus more on story than technique in trial? What's the best way to only get the types of cases you want? How is success not as complicated as you think it is? Why hold out for the settlement you deserve, even when it's hard? The Winding Path Michael Cowen's journey has been one of hard work and unexpected discovery. He wasn't sure he'd get into law school, but then he earned the top score on the Texas Bar Exam. He didn't think he wanted to be a plaintiff's lawyer, and now, as founding partner of Cowen | Rodriguez | Peacock, he's one of the most successful ones in the nation. Michael hadn't heard of podcasts until he listened to a friend guest on the Stone Cold Steve Austin Show; now he hosts one of the leading legal podcasts in the country. Michael's success comes down to his constant self-improvement. He's worked with coaches and therapists as well as other attorneys to build on his strengths. It's a decades-long process, and it isn't over yet. A Rising Tide One of the things that put Michael on the map is his thought leadership, which includes his books, the Big Rig Bootcamp conference, and his podcast Trial Lawyer Nation. He says that being an authority doesn't happen by accident. "You can't just wait to become organically an authority,” he says. “You have to make yourself an authority." But the books, the podcast, and the conference aren't just about Michael. It's about helping the community. Michael has seen that there's no need to hoard all his knowledge. In fact, it's better if he shares it. According to hikm, "Having an abundance mentality that there's plenty out there and freely sharing what I know has been the best way to build." Leaps of Faith Michael was finding success in his business, but he was constantly distracted by the smaller cases. He wanted to focus on trucking and company vehicle cases, but felt he couldn't say no to smaller clients. Then he realized that if he wanted to get where he was going, he had to take the risk. "One day, I made the decision,” he explains. “I'm going to have the guts to stop taking the smaller cases...and lo and behold, when I did that, now we have a hundred and something trucking and company vehicle cases at the firm." That courage has also served Michael well when he's holding out for bigger settlements. "It's scary when you first do it, because you worry, ‘Will they pull the money? Will it go down?' But you have to hold out or you'll never get it." Key takeaways: Focus on "how can I help?" instead of "how can this help me?" Tell the story, but don't get fancy. Trust jurors and listeners to make the right decision. Be brave. New heights require going where you haven't gone before.

Tiger Woods is a champion, record setting golf legend, and he still has a golf coach. Don't you think a DSM coach might be able to help coach you and your team to new heights? That's the question posed to Erin, Lisa, Toby Breeze, and our listeners by coach extraordinaire Michael Cowen, founder and CEO of Awaken2Sleep.   Michael has been living in the sleep world for more than 17 years and has observed many of the best and worst practices. He shares the one critical issue that prevents practices from reaching their dental sleep goals. I'll give you a hint – it isn't bite technique or device selection.   Think about this scenario. Your patient is there for a prophy. You start talking about airway health and sleep. Walls go up, and trust goes down. Michael downloads with the ZZZ Pack about how to communicate and connect with patients to overcome this cynicism while building trust, conveying your “WHY,” and becoming the type of clinician that patients want to hug.  His “WHY,” regarding his early years as a pediatric sleep technician and a serious sleep-related health scare with his daughter, will leave you near tears and motivated to be more.    You'll learn how doing the Dental Sleep Medicine Hokey Pokey will help you better understand your team, your WHY, and objectively set SMART goals. Who are you? Who do you want to be? What are your skills, and what are your limitations? Michael goes deep on all these topics plus servant leadership and more before being the first ZZZ guest to leave us with a personal playlist.   Are you making excuses for why your screening processes aren't bearing fruit or your production is below goal? Do you even know what your goal is? Does your team? If you answered “yes” or “no” to any of these questions, then you need to put down that glass of chocolate milk and listen to this episode now... like right now.

Could your practice do with a shake up? Are your business processes lacking somewhat? Today we're jumping back in time to when Jack was a guest on the Michael Cowen show. Jack has built up his personal injury law practice to include three main offices and 17 lawyers in two different states. How has he been able to do this? He shares his story with Michael, including his experience of running a firm and practicing law, as well as the practicalities of running a firm across state lines. Listeners will learn the many tips and tactics he found effective in scaling his practice, and some of the more important processes they follow internally that have allowed them to grow from a small to mid and now larger size firm.“I think a lot of people, especially attorneys, think that doing personal injury law is a quick buck. And they soon realise, man, this is a lot of work. Yeah, a lot of risk.”So pull up a chair, grab a pencil and paper, you're going to want to take notes. From waiting tables to personal injury lawyer“My dad owned a restaurant. I grew up washing dishes, cooking, waiting tables, bartending, which was great training for being a trial lawyer and learning how to talk to people.”Now, when he hires new lawyers, one of the experiences Jack looks for on their resume is waiting tables. “I find that people who wait tables give good service, even when they're being unreasonable.”The influence of the e-mythJack didn't rely on consultants to help him grow his business; instead, he invested his time in reading as many books as possible early in his career. The one he credits for giving him the idea to plan how he wanted to grow the firm was the E-myth. “I started off by drawing an org chart for what the firm would be like when we had 30 lawyers, who would be in charge of HR, finance, marketing. And then I worked my way backwards from there to where I was then.”At the same time he focused on the core principles he wanted the firm to be about, while also making sure he still practised law. “I didn't want to become a CEO or a business guy… The reason I like doing personal injury work is you get to help people and work with clients.”How to get cases for his firm while growing itIn the beginning, Jack built a referral network of attorneys who sent him cases. He told them to send him everything, the good, the bad and the ugly. He says this took about a year to pay off. Jack also had a rule that he had to attend two networking events a week. A rule he still insists on with his team of attorneys today. Hire great peopleA law firm is only as good as the people. “We're very analytical in our approach. It all starts with having a great team. Something that it took me a long time to figure out is that who you hire is usually the most important decision you can make.”His theory is that if you have a bad business system but great people, you will succeed. If you hire bad people but have a great business system, you're going to fail. And you don't need to hire people who have lots of experience, you just need them to be organized. To get them up to speed with how you work, hire a training and development attorney.The power of habit“We found the software in our processes and checklists help build the habits that lead to success... greatness is built by doing the right thing every single day.”One of Jack's firm's core principles is ‘excellence always', which means they don't do a great job some of the time, they do a great job all the time.They do a thing called a ‘litigation strategy memo' before they follow any lawsuit. They've learned that if they plan it out early, the deposition goes much better when you know where you're going. Don't take unscheduled phone callsFinally, says Jack, don't take unscheduled phone calls. Coach your attorneys to step away from their phones and not check email constantly. “We tell our attorneys to turn off their computer monitors when they're having an important conversation with the client, because you'll be distracted and not even know it.”He's also a big believer in willpower: “You've got to set yourself up for success by setting the atmosphere that you want in order to be successful.”On today's podcast: Building up the firm Learning business processes from The E-myth Hire great people What to look for on a resume The power of habit His core principles Links: www.zdfirm.com Attorney John C.
