I'm joined by special guest Nate Cobb, a New Mexico-based trial lawyer who used to say, "I don't need that mindset stuff."

Until a case forced him to find out the hard way that mindset isn't optional β€” it's EVERYTHING.

In this episode, Nate breaks down a recent case that settled mid-trial for $17.5 million and exactly what made the difference when the pressure was on.

We talk about:

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Why ignoring mindset almost cost him the case
πŸ‘‰πŸ½ How owning the number changed negotiations
πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Why trusting the jury matters more than fighting the defense
πŸ‘‰πŸ½ The moment he knew the case had shifted (and the defense knew it too)

If you've ever told yourself "I'll focus on mindset later", this episode is for YOU.

Tune in NOW! 🎧

Love,
Sari

"I went from operating out of fear and reaction to realizing that the only reason my practice felt overwhelming was because I made it that way. Coaching didn't just change how I tried cases β€” it changed how I thought, how I showed up, and how much I actually enjoyed my work. Mindset isn't extra. It's the foundation."
