    Dressing Well on a Budget w/ Joe Fant

    This episode is a little bit different from the usual. Today I'm talking to one of my two older brothers, Joe Fant. Joe is the senior pastor of a church in South Bend, Indiana. He's passionate about his church, his family, and oxford cotton button down shirts. We're coming up on summertime, and for many law students that - hopefully - means a summer job in a law firm, a government agency, or something in between. Many students will have to put together a professional wardrobe before the end of May, and most of them are doing that on a pretty tight budget. Joe is a busy man with a church to lead, a wife, and four beautiful children. I really appreciate him taking the time to dive into this, and I think his insight will help some of you get pointed in the right direction. Here are some links to some of the companies we talk about in this conversation, but neither of us are affiliated with any of them: https://www.brooksbrothers.com/ https://www.spierandmackay.com/ https://propercloth.com/ https://saphir.com/ https://www.ebay.com/

    From War Zones to Law School w/ Emina Herzberger & Hannah Sbaity

    Today's guests are Emina Herzberger and Hannah Sbaity. Hannah and Emina are both third-year law students at the University of Georgia. All three of us have been in war zones, and that's what we're going to talk about in this episode. We talk about Emina's experience as a refugee from Bosnia and Hannah's experience being evacuated from Lebanon. The recent withdrawal from Afghanistan has sparked many conversations about war and what that means for the very real people caught in the middle of them - that's how this conversation got started.
