If they really believed what they were saying, what would you expect them to do? We can even take this back to voir dire—if someone claimed X, what kind of behavior would you expect from them?”

“You trusted your team, you trusted the jury, you trusted yourself. Right? There wasn't this control and over-preparing. And this is what I hear from all of these trial debriefs that we do, people who've gone through the method, or I've worked with them. It's like, there's a concept of letting go.”

• “But the point is that the contrast is clarifying. It isn't messy. When you have contrast, it strengthens your argument. There's black and there's white, that's why the DVAQ, the Devil's Advocate. Don't do it in your regular voice, it has to be a contrast. There's another place, it has to be a contrast between your regular voice and your, "Yeah, but can you just say you're sorry" voice. It has to be different.”

I have some TERRIFIC NEWS!

After a 6-month process, our rebrand is complete and the new website is LIVE!

Going through a rebrand was really clarifying but guess what, if you don’t know what YOUR brand is, you’re gonna want to get on that.

Yeah, you might not need a REBRAND like, for a company, but you definitely need to know who you are and what you’re all about.

I’ll tell you why in this week’s podcast.

And, go check out the new site now: https://sariswears.com

Wanna know why you aren’t getting the big verdicts?

Lack of emotion in opening.

Look, I know you’ve been told you can’t get angry or cry, but that’s some bullshit. 

IF you don’t get emotional at trial, jurors can’t get emotional, and emotion drives action.

My mentor, Mary Kogen, has died.

In this special podcast episode, I share with you why, if there was no Mary Kogen, there would never be a Sari de la Motte. At least not the one you get to hear from every week. 

In the song “For Good” from Wicked, it says, “Who can say that I’ve been changed for the better? But, because I knew you, I have been changed for good.”

Mary changed me for good. Thanks in advance for listening to my special tribute to one of the most important people in my life.
