Becoming an effective trial lawyer isn’t about natural talent - it’s about preparation, practice, and the mindset to keep improving. In this episode, truck crash attorney Tim Whiting joins host Kenny Berger to discuss what it really takes to become trial-ready: from the lessons learned after a tough loss to the daily habits that sharpen skill and quiet self-doubt.
They cover:
- Turning loss into lifelong commitment to trial practice
- Why consistent role-play, focus groups, and coaching matter
- Meditation and mindset as tools for performance
- Preparing every case as if it’s going to trial — not settlement
Whether you’re early in your career or years into practice, this episode is a reminder that trial skills are built, not born - and that growth begins outside your comfort zone.
