The lawyers of Twitter are in large part super cool and so nice. Where are these lawyers in real life?

If it scares you and excites you at the same time, that's your gut telling you to go for it.

Calmness is a superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace.

Most people destroy their leverage by talking too much. The more you explain, the more you reveal. The more you react, the more you expose.

my favorite Halloween memory was trick or treating and a very stoned dude in his 20's opened the door and was like "oh man I forgot it was today. Let me see if I have anything for you" and then I hear him going through his pantry and he goes "do you like soup"

Old client called today. Spent 3 months in jail. Told him what to do, no charge, chill. Good to have him reach back like that

When "establishment" lawyers talk about you behind your back you know you've developed a reputation. My reputation? Still being built, but I hope its something like "that little pest? He'll make an initial demand. It will be low. Fair valuations of cases. You might want to

Today I had to ask. Who are these people? Are they dangerous? I don't like having to ask that question. I hope the answer is no. Today feels funny.

Mom, all the boomer lawyers with "30 years experience" are being mean to me and they keep taking my snacks and not allowing me to speak during recess. What do I do? Mom - Make them "write" something with their whopping 12 WPM finger pecking style.

You can be a massive capitalist and also be a person who wants to help your neighbor... In fact, with more resources, you can actually help them more. One of the biggest joys about having a few extra bucks is not a great car, but great deeds.
