What steps can you take to get comfortable with being successful in your career AND being a parent? Is it even possible to do both, and do it well? Are you ready to let go of mom guilt and stop comparing yourself to others? In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I'm talking about it all with Megan Whiteside. Megan is a friend, a colleague, and a remarkable mom of four who is breaking down barriers for women in the law field. I invited Megan on today to share her inspiring story of bringing her infant to two national legal conferences. But that is not all you're getting in this episode. Megan is unapologetically shattering norms and reshaping perceptions around working motherhood. She is sharing the importance of setting boundaries and finding the people who are “her people” while leaving the rest behind. Megan shares the importance of learning to name her core values and how thoughtwork was the big shift she needed to start finding fulfillment in both motherhood and her professional life––at the same time. You will walk away from this episode feeling inspired and encouraged, and hopefully being able to find the same fulfillment that Megan shares. If you could use some help with your core values, I'd love to support you with some parent coaching or see you in The Heartful Parent Academy, where your Values Trio is one of the first things we work on.

Join Rahul and Ben for their discussion with Indiana trial lawyer Lee Christie and Trial Lawyers for Justice Attorney, Karen Zahka, as they break down their recent trial against Tesla. Although the case started out as a simple pickup truck vs. motorcycle accident involving a left turn, the personal involvement of Elon Musk led to an unusual investment of resources on the defense side and high drama in the courtroom. To get to verdict, the plaintiff had to navigate a series of landmines and obstacles, including numerous law firms entering and exiting the case, a sea of motions, dozens of requests for mistrial and a hold-out juror that almost led to a mistrial during jury deliberations.

She is an experienced and passionate trial lawyer. While she was born and raised in Massachusetts, Karen litigates and tries cases nationwide. She is currently admitted to practice in Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma. She practices in other jurisdictions via pro hac vice. Throughout Karen's career, she has contributed to many multi-million verdicts and settlements, including but not limited to: Andrea Larkin, et al. v. Dedham Medical Associates, et al.: Karen was integral in successfully recovering over $40 million (with interest) for a 28-year-old woman who suffered a catastrophic stroke hours after labor and delivery of her daughter. Following this victory, Karen fought to defend and succeeded in defending the verdict from the insurance company's attempt to overturn it on appeal. Edward Xu v. Tufts Medical Center, et al.: Karen contributed to a $24.4 million verdict on behalf of a family whose newborn suffered from severe short bowel syndrome, which requires that he be tube fed for the rest of his life. Estate of Joshua Messier v. Bridgewater State Hospital: Karen helped to obtain a $3 million settlement for a family whose 23-year-old disabled son was improperly restrained and killed by correction officers at a Massachusetts prison. This success resulted in sweeping systemic changes to improve the care and treatment of disabled individuals in state prison systems. Estate of Zoe Rosenthal v. Charles J. Davignon, et al.: In April 2021, during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Karen contributed to the $9.5 million verdict obtained on behalf of two daughters whose mother was negligently killed while walking her dog in a crosswalk near her home. According to the court clerk, this result set a record for a non-economic damages verdict for wrongful death with adult heirs in Western Massachusetts. While Karen is a zealous advocate for her clients, what she takes most pride in is that she cares about each of her clients on a personal level. She is a kind human first and a dedicated lawyer second. Karen recognizes that by the time you ask for her help, you have likely already experienced a catastrophic loss or injury. Compassion is a must, and she understands how overwhelming the legal system can be. It is for that reason that she always takes the time to explain each and every step of the legal process and she will be candid with you every step of the way. Karen received her undergraduate degree from Boston University, where she double majored in Political Science and Psychology. She then graduated from Suffolk University Law School, where she served as the Continuity Editing Assistant for The Journal of Health and Biomedical Law. She graduated from law school with Pro Bono Honors and was recognized for her time and commitment to volunteer legal services programs. Throughout law school, she not only worked full time, but also volunteered her nights and weekends with several non-profit programs dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic violence and assisting them in navigating the legal system to protect themselves and their loved ones. Since 2016, Karen has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star. This designation is awarded only to a select number of accomplished attorneys under the age of 40 in each state. The Rising Stars selection process takes into account peer recognition, professional achievement in legal practice, and a review by an independent blue-ribbon panel. In 2022, Karen received the “Excellence in the Law: Up & Coming Lawyer” award from Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. This award is given to those select lawyers who have already distinguished themselves in the field in less than ten (10) years of practice. In 2019, Karen was selected to the National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 Under 40, a professional organization that recognizes the top trial lawyers in each state. In her spare time, you can find Karen soaking up as much live music as possible or exploring the outdoors.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Elizabeth Tresp discuss:How Elizabeth started her law firm (and manages her other businesses as well). The secret of work-life balance. Managing workload capacity and workload ability when hiring. Understanding your core competencies and trying new things. Key Takeaways:The work-life balance will change throughout your career and will look different for every person. Knowing when to hire is going to come with experience, but you need to be in tune with your employees, what is really happening, and if the work currently can support someone else. Always be recruiting (even if you're not currently hiring). You never know what conversation is going to be had and what that will turn into. Be willing to take the risk on things you enjoy and make you feel good. You never know what you will learn or how your business will grow. "Don't be scared. Take the risk. Invest in yourself. Invest in your goal and what you have to offer, own it, and feel good about it." — Elizabeth Tresp Get a free copy of Steve's book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Overture: https://overture.law/Get Visible: https://www.getvisible.com/ Episode References: 24 Months to Freedom by Brett Trembly - https://www.amazon.com/24-Months-Freedom-Staffing-Solutions/dp/1955242445 About Elizabeth Tresp: An attorney, business owner, investor, philanthropist, and mother, Elizabeth A.

According to attorney and recruitment expert Brett Trembly, time is an entrepreneur's most valuable asset. He has developed a 24-month hiring process for business owners to protect their time and focus on growth.

In this episode, Ben and Rahul break down the recent $46 million verdict Rahul obtained in a case on behalf of a client injured during a Brazilian Jujitsu class. Rahul talks about how he frames the issues in the case to deal with the challenge of many jurors believing that those who engage in dangerous activities, like Jujitsu, assume the risk of injury. He shares his approach to voir dire and to obtaining this high-value verdict in a relatively conservative venue where verdicts tend to be on the lower side. Rahul talks about how the verdict was received in the Jujitsu community and how it is likely to lead to changes that will make the practice safer. About Rahul RavipudiRahul Ravipudi is a partner at Panish | Shea | Boyle | Ravipudi LLP and has spent his legal career handling catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases involving commercial vehicles, pedestrians, industrial or construction accidents, utility negligence, dangerous conditions of public and private property as well as cases of sexual abuse and sexual assault. Mr. Ravipudi also represents consumers in class actions against businesses who engage in unfair/illegal business practices and public entities in cases where corporations have endangered the safety, health, property or comfort of the public. Mr. Ravipudi currently serves as Public Entity Plaintiffs' Co-Lead Counsel in the JUUL Labs Product Cases, representing school districts and other public entities in California involved in litigation against the electronic cigarette manufacturer. Has also serves as Plaintiffs Co-Lead Counsel in the Southern California Fire Cases litigation arising out of the 2017 Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flows in Montecito, California as well as on the Plaintiffs Executive Committee in the California North Bay Fires litigation. Mr. Ravipudi previously served on the Steering Committee in the Blythe bus crash litigation. Named 2017 Trial Lawyer of the Year by Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, Mr. Ravipudi has obtained numerous landmark verdicts and settlements including a $160.5 million jury verdict for a man who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a vicious beating by security personnel for a nightclub, a $46,475,112.33 jury verdict for a beginning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu student who suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury while sparring with a Del Mar Jiu-Jitsu Club instructor who performed a technique which rendered the student an incomplete quadriplegic, a $28,500,000+ settlement for a special needs student who was catastrophically injured after being struck by a vehicle while under the care and supervision of Victor Elementary School District (VESD) personnel, as well as a $23,500,000 settlement on behalf of the family of Paul Lee, a 19-year-old non-verbal autistic student who tragically died aboard a Whittier school bus after the driver left him behind to engage in a sexual tryst with a coworker. The Lee case was a catalyst for significant change in school transportation with Governor Jerry Brown signing the “Paul Lee School Bus Safety Law” in September 2016, requiring all school buses in the state of California to be equipped with a child safety alarm system that must be deactivated by the bus driver before departing the bus. The new law will go into effect at the start of the 2018-19 school year and requires bus drivers to receive training in child-safety check procedures. Committed to serving as an advocate for his clients, Mr. Ravipudi has obtained numerous eight-figure awards including a $20,500,000 jury verdict for the mother of a high school student who was killed while walking to a bus stop, a $19,786,818 jury verdict for a man who suffered severe burn and traumatic brain injuries when his rental home exploded as a result of Southern California Gas Company negligence, a $13,935,550 jury verdict for 19-year-old pedestrian who suffered extensive injuries as a result of being struck on the sidewalk by a vehicle driven by a Los Angeles County employee, a $13,000,000 settlement for the children and parents of a woman who was killed when her car was hit by a Hawthorne, California police officer, a $11,000,000 settlement for the family of a middle school student who drowned during a school-sponsored swim party, a$10 million for the family of an independent truck driver killed by an intoxicated heavy lift operator at a stevedoring terminal in Long Beach, and an $8,000,000 jury verdict in Clark County District Court for a Nevada man who suffered significant internal injuries after he was served and ingested what he believed was a Honey Blonde Ale but was actually a chemical cleaning compound left in the tap lines. Mr. Ravipudi shared his insight into successfully litigating cases against the stevedoring companies in an article entitled, “Danger on the Docks – Where there is an injury or death on the waterfront, drugs or alcohol are too often involved” published in the February 2011 edition of Advocate, journal of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles. Additional recoveries obtained by Mr. Ravipudi include a $15,950,000 settlement for a teen who suffered a brain injury on an HOA playground, $8,000,000 settlement for an 81-year-old woman who suffered severe spinal cord injuries after falling at a hotel, a $7,000,000+ settlement during trial for the family of a man killed at SpeedVegas when the vehicle he was driving slammed into a track wall and burst into flames, $6,500,000 settlement for the two minor children and friend of a Southern California man who was killed after being struck on the highway by a freight truck whose driver had fallen asleep behind the wheel, a $6,000,000 settlement for a woman who suffered severe burn injuries when a faucet in the bathtub of her apartment detached and sprayed scalding hot water onto her body, a $5 million for an HVAC worker who suffered serious injuries when he fell through a skylight while working on a customer's roof, a $3.3 million gross jury verdict arising out of the death of a pest control person crushed and killed when a semi-truck reversed into him at a warehousing facility, and $9 million from the State of California (Caltrans) when a 16-year-old girl on a restricted license lost control of her vehicle and collided into a guardrail damaged two days earlier resulting in a bilateral traumatic below knee amputations. This case involved significant appellate issues which led to Mr. Ravipudi's article, “Dealing with the state of California's first line of defense – stonewalling any meaningful discovery” published in Advocate, Journal of Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles in February 2009. In recognition of his outstanding trial efforts, some of the awards Mr. Ravipudi has received include, but are not limited to:2023 Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiffs Consumer Lawyers2023 Lawyer of the Year in Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions – Best Lawyer2022 Top Plaintiffs Lawyer in California – Daily Journal2022 Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiffs Consumer Lawyers2021 Robert E.

Join Ben and Rahul for their interview of San Francisco trial lawyer, Sarah London of Lieff Cabraser. Sarah explains how her interest in community organizing ultimately led her to a career as a plaintiff trial lawyer. She views the law as the ultimate weapon for promoting positive societal change. Not long after becoming a lawyer, Sarah London found herself in Florida trying case after case against the big tobacco companies. At first, the plaintiffs were losing every trial. But in time, they found strategies to turn the cases around, win, and obtain large verdicts. This experience of trying similar cases over and over provided a laboratory for better understanding of how to select juries and frame a case for trial success. The insights gained through this process are valuable not just for tobacco litigation, but anyone who conducts jury trials. Sarah was recently appointed as co-lead counsel for the Juul litigation. Sarah's insights into trial lawyer are both practical and inspirational. You won't want to miss this episode!

In an emotionally resonant episode, our gracious host, Mirena Umizaj allows us to tune into a heartfelt conversation with topliner, Attorney Danielle Mason, acclaimed for her work in the talcum powder litigation suit. They engulf us in the intimate, modal mixture of Danielle's rich heritage and family life, business insights and mass tort rhapsodies, harmonious relationships with clients and surprising accolades, and even the bittersweet decrescendo of tragic loss. Rooted in Montgomery, Alabama, Danielle nostalgically shares her beautiful legacy. As she intones of her brave progenitors, we cannot help but feel a sense of wonder at the family history bequeathed to her. We learn about her extraordinary grandmother, Thelma Smiley, and the remarkable impact she had on our present educational system—how Ms. Smiley played an integral part in the National Colored PTA and Civil Rights movement—spearheading the evolution of diversity, equity, and inclusion we experience in American schools today. With her family as active members of the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church when Martin Luther King Jr. was the pastor, Danielle concordantly gives us a clear, balanced, and humble perspective, much needed for our times. Danielle and Mirena set a mellow vibe when they talk about family life and the surprising effects of the Covid-19 pandemic in their every day. Throughout their reflection, we hear what matters most as they put a healthy spin on working from home. Danielle gives us a glimpse of a vibrant family life, sharing how she serendipitously found herself in the legal field after overcoming many personal challenges along the way. Picking up the cadence, Mirena asks Danielle to enlighten us about the distinguished Harry M. Philo award she received, as well as the inner workings of the mass tort industry. We learn the distinct difference of mass torts from class-action lawsuits, and the controversial Johnson & Johnson talcum powder litigation suit Danielle successfully participated in. As we grasp how personal this case was for our guest, we find ourselves grieved at the sad death of a dear client she befriended (among other illnesses and deaths she handled) and realize how each tragedy modulated any success she received from the case. At the center of the deep-dive, we hit a sad chord when Danielle shares—for the first time in public—the tragic passing of her father. Regrets, questions, confusion, trauma … How can one even recover from losing a parent in such an unexpected, jarring way? Despite how displaced she feels, we find how she continuously rises from the depths of despondency, paving the way for the awareness of depression and suicide surrounding our current (pandemic-driven) culture. She inspires and encourages us to intentionally reach out to those who suffer from any form of psychological illness. Through it all, we find nothing flat about our encounter with Danielle. Instead, we see a strong, beautiful woman—a persevering soul singing a hope-filled, angelic aria. With every discordant note life brings her way, her humility and courage turns it around. Danielle's life is a mesmeric symphony, perfectly sustained by an indomitable spirit and love for those she holds dear. EPISODE SURVEY [00:17:13] Thelma Smiley's accolades in education and invitation to the White House for three sitting presidents, advising them on issues about educational equality and integration. [00:42:35] This is something that affects thousands and thousands of people across the country.[00:44:31] Talcum cases and how it personally resonated and affected Danielle in a way no other case has been able to. [00:59:48] On women, inclusion, and groups meeting better diversity thresholds in the industry.[01:11:28] About the Harry M. Philo award bestowed to Danielle.[01:27:47] Danielle talks about her father's tragic death. QUOTABLE QUOTES “I finally get to be a mom for a minute and that got to be really cool.” “What puts all of that into perspective is we are so thankfully healthy… There are some people right now who miss the noise … [but] we've got to come to where we're grateful for the noise because that means it's all right.” “[Control] gets to be heavy sometimes because it reinforces something that I already need to let go of, which is this unrealistic expectation to be perfect all the time.” “ Don't believe me. Just watch.” “Who's to say what the timetable is.” "We've come a long way in seeing more of these PSC Groups meeting better diversity thresholds." "I also don't think it's the end-all and be-all of what our roles are as advocates. Female, male, whatever there are, there are a lot of different fronts that we can apply this pressure on these cases and there's nothing limiting that." "Diversity is extra important, but none of us just want to check a box." "We can't be afraid to talk about the suicide story because we know it's happening around us."

Physician contracts can be very complex, and often physicians turn to attorneys for help reviewing them during the negotiation process. Poonam Lakhani, an employment and business attorney with The Prinz Law Firm, works with physicians to do just that. She reviews contracts to understand compensation structures, non-compete clauses, termination clauses, whether there are specific steps that can lead a physician to become a partner, and more. “My goal is to make sure that as much is defined as possible, because when there’s vagueness in an agreement, that’s where disputes occur," she says. Poonam is based in the Chicago area and is a member of the South Asian Bar Association of Chicago. She has been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star every year since 2016. https://fitadvisors.com/contract-review-for-physicians-with-poonam-lakhani

As most law firm owners are making the shift from a partially or fully integrated virtual firm, most come to a halt when it comes to hiring virtual employees. If you have never experienced working with a virtual assistant then many questions may arise, such as: how much should you pay, what expectations are acceptable, or how to evaluate the performance for someone who isn’t physically present. When hiring virtual assistants expect a learning curve that will require your patience and time. The pay off will be worth it. Trust me. In this episode, we speak with Brett Trembly, a former President of the South Miami Kendall Bar Association and former Vice-Chair of the Florida Bar 11th Circuit Grievance Committee 11 “I.” Brett has also been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star in Florida for the past three years. Brett is well known for his outstanding law firm and how he created a whole business model around working with virtual assistants. In this episode, Brett and I discuss: The accelerated acceptance of hiring a virtual assistant fueled by the pandemic Migrating from a VA for projects to a full-time VA that becomes an integral part of the team and the culture of your company The importance of identifying all job responsibilities that can be delegated to a VA. The recommendation that a VA be a full time The learning curve to managing a virtual employee The distinctions between an in-house employee and a VA The pros and cons of going international for skilled Vas Anticipating a boom in the need for bankruptcy attorneys and bankruptcy training Maintaining confidentiality and security working with international VAs versus domestic Vas The ability to hire high-end talent for less than U.S. wages while helping society as a whole The benefits of managing your time and interruptions when structuring your interactions with your VA
