Failure is part of the job, but it doesn't have to become part of your identity.In this first solo episode of The Whole Lawyer, I share some of the mistakes I've made during my first few years of practicing law, from missed objections and filing errors to a mock trial mistake that a judge told me would've gotten my case thrown out in real life.If you're a law student, young lawyer, or anyone navigating a challenging profession, this episode is a reminder that failure isn't the end of the story. The lesson is learning how to respond, adjust, and keep moving forward.Chapters:00:00 Embracing Failure in Law04:50 The Highs and Lows of Legal Practice09:59 Learning from Mistakes20:07 Defining Identity Beyond FailuresThe highs are temporary.
