Marcus Cusick
The Risk Curve: Risk, Reward and Lessons Learned by top attorneys. Your host Marcus Cusick interviews prominent attorneys about calculating risk in their career, cases and practice of law.  We discuss many aspects of being a lawyer at any stage including: law school, the legal industry, partnerships, going solo, technology, bias, current issues, trial work and philosophy, failure and success.  Much of the discussion is through the lens of risk vs. reward.  If you risk nothing then you risk everything. - Geena Davis
Episode 3-Joe Fried is a gem
Joe Fried is a top truck crash lawyer and a pioneer in many ways. Joe made a brave decision years ago to be the most knowledgeable person on a very specific type of plaintiff case-commercial motor vehicle collisions. He literally had his peers laugh at him. No more. Joe is now a nationally sought after speaker, trainer and mentor to lawyers nationwide. Not to mention incredible success in the courtroom. We talk about his decision to drop everything else and focus on one type of accident, his belief that lawyers must niche down to be relevant in the future and what he hopes is a big part of his legacy.
