Send us a textFairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz learned early in his trial career about the critical role of persuasive storytelling, executed throughout the trial, and not only in opening and closing. Jon Katz in this first Beat the Prosecution episode in a year without a guest, illustrates how he won an assault trial by supporting his client's alibi by illustrating the alleged assault's happening in Club Blah, where the defendant at the time was in Club Ah, and could not bring himself to stepping foot in Club Blah any more than he could bring himself to drinking a cask of prune juice mixed with vinegar. The persuasive story at trial usually is not found overnight, but is discovered with close attention and listening, visiting the incident scene, and bringing the listeners to the scene and the circle and center of the story, often incorporating all five of the human senses. Read more about persuasive storytelling in court, with Jon's article published in the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers newsletter, entitled "Story power – DID YOU DO IT? Transporting the jury to the persuasive circle of the story, and applying psychodrama."Persuasive storytelling is a central approach of the National Criminal Defense College's Trial Practice Institute that Jon attended for two weeks in 1994, and the Trial Lawyers College, which Jon attended for an entire month in 1995, with psychodrama and scene re-enactment also being major focuses of the Trial Lawyers College. The parallel video of this podcast is at Fairfax Criminal Lawyer on Winning from the Center of Persuasive StorytellingThis podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

For trial lawyers, “advocacy in a hurry” — injunctions, bail hearings, requests for orders of protection, emergency custody petitions, or immigration orders — calls for making the most of the limited time you have before the court, even if it's just 15 minutes. Former Illinois Eighth Circuit Court Judge Mark Drummond shares seven valuable tips on compressing your case to fit the time available, how to help the judge quickly understand what's at issue in the proceeding, and what ethics concerns must remain top of mind for all advocates regardless of whether their time before the court is 10 minutes or 10 weeks. Topics3:43  What is emergency advocacy?  8:00  Circumstances calling for emergency advocacy16:48  Making the most of the little time you have17:40  Factors you must prove in your state18:30  Primacy and recency21:00  Appeal to the judge21:47  Written offer of proof23:15  Persuasive use of numbers23:53  Offer time limits27:00  Judges triage27:39  What judges fear31:02  Two things to be prepared for34:11  Your duty of candor to the court38:06  Signoff questionsQuote“You've spent a lot of time going through law school.

Jesse Cramer speaks with Christine Benz, Director of Personal Finance at Morningstar, about insights from her book How to Retire. Before their discussion, Jesse contrasts gambling with long-term investing, emphasizing the risks of short-term market bets versus the reliability of patient investing. Christine highlights the shift in financial advice toward holistic retirement planning, including the importance of low-cost, diversified portfolios and planning for life transitions. The episode also explores the financial impact of caregiving, particularly on women, and the necessity of proactive retirement savings and long-term care planning. John Guyton's "guardrails approach" is discussed as a strategy for adjusting withdrawals based on market performance. Additionally, the conversation underscores the role of psychology in financial decision-making and the non-financial aspects of retirement, such as maintaining social connections and redefining work-life balance. The overarching message is that successful retirement planning requires a combination of careful financial preparation, behavioral awareness, and long-term strategic thinking. Key Takeaways:• Short-term stock market movements may seem random, but long-term investing historically trends upward, making it a safer and more strategic approach compared to gambling. • Many people underestimate their lifespan, which can lead to financial shortfalls in retirement; actuarial data and family history should be factored into planning. • Persuasive stories can shape financial decision-making, sometimes leading people to overlook critical advice in favor of compelling but misleading pitches. • Taking on unpaid caregiving roles can impact financial security, and couples should consider financial agreements to ensure fair distribution of assets. • Beyond finances, maintaining social connections and finding purpose are crucial for a satisfying retirement. • A successful retirement is not just about financial security but also about ensuring a meaningful and well-balanced life in later years.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Customer Success Playbook, hosts Roman Trebon and Kevin Metzger sit down with Ken Sandy, author of The Influential Product Manager, to uncover the secret sauce behind leadership without formal authority. Ken draws on 25 years of product leadership to explain why "leading through influence" isn't just a survival skill—it's a superpower. From understanding organizational objectives to aligning cross-functional teams around shared goals, Ken emphasizes that effective leadership is rooted in context, not control.Detailed Description: Product managers often find themselves in high-stakes roles without the luxury of direct authority. So how do they drive outcomes, rally teams, and deliver for customers? According to Ken Sandy, the answer lies in mastering the art of influence. In this episode, Ken challenges the common misconception that authority is essential for leadership and argues that real power comes from shared purpose and contextual clarity.Ken's number one tip? "Context is king." He explains how product managers (and frankly, anyone in a leadership role) can boost their influence by investing deeply in the "why" behind a project—not just the "what" or "how." When teams understand the problem space, customer needs, and desired outcomes, they become partners in problem-solving rather than passive executors of a plan.This conversation isn't just for PMs. Project managers, customer success professionals, and cross-functional leaders of all stripes will find actionable wisdom here. Ken also underscores that influence isn't a nice-to-have skill—it's a must-have capability for anyone navigating complex organizations. And spoiler alert: influence actually makes you more objective, more collaborative, and ultimately more effective.Packed with humor, insight, and practical guidance, this episode delivers a fresh perspective on leadership that breaks the mold.

Keith Morrison has spoken with dozens of inmates over his career, but nothing comes close to his jailhouse interview with Lori Vallow Daybell. Not in sheer strangeness, not in frustration, and certainly not in the way she seemed completely at ease sitting across from him, spinning a story that defied both logic and reality. It took years for Morrison and his team to secure the interview. Letters, emails, and persistence finally paid off when Daybell agreed to sit down with him in Maricopa County Jail. Ninety minutes. That was the time they were granted. And Morrison, a seasoned journalist, thought that would be more than enough. But it wasn't. From the moment she walked into the room, it was clear that Daybell was not there to confess or clarify. She winked at the camera, her demeanor unsettlingly upbeat for someone convicted of the murders of her two youngest children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, along with Chad Daybell's former wife, Tammy Daybell. She's already serving a life sentence in Idaho, and another trial looms in Arizona for the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Yet, none of that seemed to weigh on her. Instead, she took control of the interview, redirecting, deflecting, and challenging Morrison at every turn. “Get your facts straight, Keith,” she chided him more than once, as if she were the one in charge of setting the record straight. “I thought we were going to be friends, Keith.” There was an unsettling rhythm to her words, a performative quality, like she had rehearsed these lines in her head long before the cameras started rolling. Morrison, no stranger to manipulative interview subjects, saw right through it. She had an agenda, and it wasn't to tell the truth. It was to tell her truth—the one that lives inside her head, untouched by facts or evidence. The chore, as Morrison described it, was to pull her off that well-rehearsed train track and into a place where reality mattered. But Lori wasn't having it. She danced around questions, throwing out a sprawling, convoluted narrative that he likened to a shaggy dog story—a long-winded, winding tale designed to eat up time and avoid the hard questions. “She's no dummy,” Morrison admitted. “She knew exactly what she was doing.” And what she was doing was making sure the focus remained on the illusion she had created, not on the brutal, undeniable facts of what happened to her children. But here's the thing—Lori Vallow Daybell isn't just delusional. She's charismatic. That's what makes her dangerous. That's what made people follow her. It's easy to think of cult leaders as fringe weirdos, but they're rarely that obvious. They're likable. Persuasive. Charming. Morrison could see it. She smiled. She laughed. She joked. She exuded confidence. She didn't see herself as mentally ill, though multiple evaluations declared her incompetent for trial before she was finally deemed fit. No, in her mind, she is right. And everyone else? They just don't understand. That charm, that ability to manipulate, is exactly how she convinced people to go along with her apocalyptic beliefs, her “vision” of who was light and who was dark. And when people—children included—were labeled dark, well, we know what happened next. By the end of the interview, Morrison was mentally exhausted. She had drained him, just as she had drained everyone who tried to pin her down with the truth. When the cameras stopped rolling, she smiled and told him he'd have to come back if he wanted to ask anything else. He walked out thinking, I never want to do that again. But almost immediately, he knew he would. Because that's what Lori Vallow Daybell does. She lures people in. Even those who know exactly what she is. The two-hour Dateline special will feature Morrison's full interview with Daybell, as well as conversations with law enforcement, legal experts, and her surviving son, Colby Ryan, who has spent years trying to rebuild his life in the aftermath of his mother's crimes. It airs Friday at 8 p.m. MST on NBC and will be available for streaming on Peacock the next day. #LoriVallow #Dateline #TrueCrime #KeithMorrison Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

But here's the thing—Lori Vallow Daybell isn't just delusional. She's charismatic. That's what makes her dangerous. That's what made people follow her. It's easy to think of cult leaders as fringe weirdos, but they're rarely that obvious. They're likable. Persuasive. Charming. Morrison could see it. She smiled. She laughed. She joked. She exuded confidence. She didn't see herself as mentally ill, though multiple evaluations declared her incompetent for trial before she was finally deemed fit. No, in her mind, she is right. And everyone else? They just don't understand. That charm, that ability to manipulate, is exactly how she convinced people to go along with her apocalyptic beliefs, her “vision” of who was light and who was dark. And when people—children included—were labeled dark, well, we know what happened next. By the end of the interview, Morrison was mentally exhausted. She had drained him, just as she had drained everyone who tried to pin her down with the truth. When the cameras stopped rolling, she smiled and told him he'd have to come back if he wanted to ask anything else. He walked out thinking, I never want to do that again. But almost immediately, he knew he would. Because that's what Lori Vallow Daybell does. She lures people in. Even those who know exactly what she is. The two-hour Dateline special will feature Morrison's full interview with Daybell, as well as conversations with law enforcement, legal experts, and her surviving son, Colby Ryan, who has spent years trying to rebuild his life in the aftermath of his mother's crimes. It airs Friday at 8 p.m. MST on NBC and will be available for streaming on Peacock the next day. #LoriVallow #Dateline #TrueCrime #KeithMorrison Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Keith Morrison has spoken with dozens of inmates over his career, but nothing comes close to his jailhouse interview with Lori Vallow Daybell. Not in sheer strangeness, not in frustration, and certainly not in the way she seemed completely at ease sitting across from him, spinning a story that defied both logic and reality. It took years for Morrison and his team to secure the interview. Letters, emails, and persistence finally paid off when Daybell agreed to sit down with him in Maricopa County Jail. Ninety minutes. That was the time they were granted. And Morrison, a seasoned journalist, thought that would be more than enough. But it wasn't. From the moment she walked into the room, it was clear that Daybell was not there to confess or clarify. She winked at the camera, her demeanor unsettlingly upbeat for someone convicted of the murders of her two youngest children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, along with Chad Daybell's former wife, Tammy Daybell. She's already serving a life sentence in Idaho, and another trial looms in Arizona for the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Yet, none of that seemed to weigh on her. Instead, she took control of the interview, redirecting, deflecting, and challenging Morrison at every turn. “Get your facts straight, Keith,” she chided him more than once, as if she were the one in charge of setting the record straight. “I thought we were going to be friends, Keith.” There was an unsettling rhythm to her words, a performative quality, like she had rehearsed these lines in her head long before the cameras started rolling. Morrison, no stranger to manipulative interview subjects, saw right through it. She had an agenda, and it wasn't to tell the truth. It was to tell her truth—the one that lives inside her head, untouched by facts or evidence. The chore, as Morrison described it, was to pull her off that well-rehearsed train track and into a place where reality mattered. But Lori wasn't having it. She danced around questions, throwing out a sprawling, convoluted narrative that he likened to a shaggy dog story—a long-winded, winding tale designed to eat up time and avoid the hard questions. “She's no dummy,” Morrison admitted. “She knew exactly what she was doing.” And what she was doing was making sure the focus remained on the illusion she had created, not on the brutal, undeniable facts of what happened to her children.

Here's a startling statistic. Harvard published the results of a survey of 17,000 managers, and one of the questions asked was this: When did you experience your first formal leadership training? The average age was 42.  What would happen if we started with children instead of waiting until someone is so far into their career? You don't have to wonder what would happen because our guest, Dr. Alan Nelson, has focused on teaching leadership to young people for almost 20 years.  Alan is the Founder of KidLead Academy, the world's first online course to train parents how to develop their child's leadership potential. Alan has been passionate about leadership throughout his career.  Alan is the author of 40 books and over 200 articles on personal growth and leadership. He has a doctorate in leadership from the University of San Diego and has taught leadership courses at several universities, including USC's Marshall School of Business and the Naval Postgraduate School. In this conversation, we focused on his book for parents, My Kid Leads! A How-to Book for Parents Wanting to Raise Future Leaders Today. Highly recommended! You'll discover: The answer to the question of whether leaders are made or bornWhy Alan says the sweet spot for teaching leadership to kids is ages 10-13The 4 primary indicators of giftedness in leadership in both children and adultsWhat parents can do to help their children develop self-control and critical thinking skillsHow Alan uses peer-led teams in his programs to teach leadership and followershipCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

Stories help us learn and engage us on an emotional level. But one of the more challenging parts of using stories is finding the right visuals to go with them. That's where AI comes in.

Lennon Carter's life is falling apart. Then she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to take the entrance exam for Drayton College, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah. Lennon has been chosen because—like everyone else at the school—she has the innate gift of persuasion, the ability to wield her will like a weapon, using it to control others and, in rare cases, matter itself. After passing the test, Lennon begins to learn how to master her devastating and unsettling power. But despite persuasion's heavy toll on her body and mind, she is wholly captivated by her studies, by Drayton's lush, moss-draped campus, and by her brilliant classmates. But even more captivating is her charismatic adviser, Dante, who both intimidates and enthralls her. As Lennon continues in her studies her control grows, and she starts to uncover more about the secret world she has entered into, including the disquieting history of Drayton College, and the way her mentor's tragic and violent past intertwines with it. She is increasingly disturbed by what she learns. For it seems that the ultimate test is to embrace absolute power without succumbing to corruption . . . and it's a test she's terrified she is going to fail.

This Law of Persuasion states that the more skillful a person is in the use of language, the more persuasive they are.  Words affect our perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and emotions.   Language misused will trigger the wrong response and decrease your ability to persuade.  All words have emotional meanings that are different from their dictionary definitions.  Understanding words and their emotional triggers will enhance your ability to persuade and influence. Facts alone fall short in correcting science misinformation By carefully listening to a prospect's pronouns and adjusting your language, you can build more trust and increase your influence.  Join me for this week's podcast on Persuasive Pronouns - When to use I vs We vs You.  Discover when and how to use the correct pronoun to be more persuasive and seal the deal.
