Host Gary Miles shares his personal journey from being a bullied, perfectionist kid to a successful trial lawyer who still battled self-doubt and an unforgiving inner critic. Despite graduating first in his class, clerking for a federal judge, and winning countless cases, he discovered that external success never silences internal struggles.
Through stories of career choices, courtroom victories and defeats, and the guidance of mentors who modeled humility and courage, this episode reveals how authenticity becomes a lawyer’s greatest strength. Listen for a roadmap for moving beyond perfectionism, silencing the inner critic, and practicing law with confidence, fulfillment, and presence. More than a story of resilience, this conversation redefines success in the legal profession as something deeper than billable hours and courtroom wins.
