  • Incredibly uplifting.

    Professor Perlin is a natural interviewer. He gets people talking about their paths in a way that sounds like a coffee shop conversation rather than a podcast. The breadth of experiences he features and the depth the interviewees go make this podcast extremely beneficial for any law student or lawyer. It can be discouraging to be in professional school or after and not be absolutely certain about what you want to do. This podcast is the hug and pep talk we need and deserve.

    And Jonah is an excellent interviewer, drawing out insight from guests with his characteristic “say more about that.”
