  • Law School Will Test You Before You Feel Ready

    Law School Will Test You Before You Feel Ready
    Feb 25 2026

    Neal sits down with Moe Matabbar, a first year student at Tulane Law School, for a conversation about what 1L really feels like from the inside.

    They talk about getting cold called for 30 minutes in the very first class, the reality of the Socratic method, and whether law school is actually as competitive as people say. Moe shares how focusing on grades first semester caused him to miss part of the hiring window, and why that pressure is weighing on many 1Ls right now.

    They also discuss first generation uncertainty, changing hiring cycles, technology in legal research, and why relationships inside law school can make or break the experience.

    If you are in law school, mentoring someone who is, or thinking about applying, this episode offers a grounded look at what matters and what does not.

  • Burnout Is Not the Enemy for Lawyers: Being Surprised By It Is

    Burnout Is Not the Enemy for Lawyers: Being Surprised By It Is
    Feb 18 2026

    Burnout is one of the most common conversations I'm having with younger lawyers right now. Not about marketing. Not about tactics. About exhaustion and sustainability.

    In this episode, I share a perspective from 35 years in practice: burnout is not the enemy. Surprise is.

    If you are building a book of business, launching a firm, or pursuing autonomy in your legal career, this conversation will help you understand the tradeoffs, the seasons of pushing hard, and the guardrails that protect longevity.

    Your career is allowed to evolve. The goal is not avoiding burnout forever. The goal is staying in the game long enough to shape it.

    Follow the podcast for weekly conversations about what law school didn't teach you.

    The Rejection That Reshaped His Legal Career
    Feb 11 2026

    What happens when a lawyer is told outright that he doesn't belong? In this episode, Neal Goldstein and Jeffrey Possinger talk about rejection, identity, and the emotional cost of chasing approval in the legal profession. Jeffrey shares how being told he wasn't a fit for certain firms forced him to rethink success, integrity, and what kind of lawyer he wanted to become.

    This conversation explores belonging, trust, long-term thinking, and why not fitting in can sometimes be the beginning of a more meaningful career. Follow the podcast for more conversations about practicing law as a human being.
