About this episode
A defendant just sentenced to a year and a day in prison called me to share his mistake: he took the easy way. He outsourced everything to his lawyer, did no real preparation, and expected probation. The right way is harder—it means owning your case, preparing daily, and proving through your own words and actions why you won't reoffend. The government has unlimited resources. You don't. But you do control your effort. Don't leave your future to chance.
