Forward Thinking

Legal content can be so dull, but the way this podcast is focused on the future of legal and the new ways to control acceptance is so entertaining. Finally a legal podcast that won't put me to sleep!

Good Content for GCs

This is a good quick listen and so far I’ve gotten a few good ideas from it.

Hosted by an attorney - thumbs up

The host himself is an attorney, so the discussions with legal guests comes across natural and conversational. Great real-world examples of innovative legal departments (no fluffy stuff.)
