About this episode
Pressure doesn’t just show up in courtrooms — it shows up in boardrooms, living rooms, and everyday conversations where the stakes feel high. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact framework I use to prepare witnesses before they ever take the stand so they can stay calm, clear, and confident when the heat is on. You’ll learn how to slow the moment down, control the pace of any conversation, and avoid the mistakes that make people crumble under pressure. If you’ve ever felt flustered, defensive, or overwhelmed in a tough conversation, this episode will help you become pressure proof.
