Description

In this episode, Kristi reflects on an unexpected insight sparked by a late-night podcast listen—and how it reshaped her thinking about goal-setting, motivation, and decision-making in business. Drawing from philosopher David Deutsch's idea of "following the fun," she explores the tension between long-term strategy and genuine curiosity.

The episode then shifts into a practical courtroom communication tip, unpacking how mismatched vocal and physical energy can quietly erode credibility—and how trial attorneys can use intentional energy to help jurors truly feel the weight of the case.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1. Why over-prophesying the future can stall progress and decision-making

2. How "following the fun" differs from chasing ease or dopamine

3. What energy mismatch looks like in courtroom communication

4. How vocal tone and physical presence affect juror credibility and trust

5. Why desensitization to your own case facts can flatten your delivery

6. How to help jurors engage emotionally without performing or exaggerating

Key Takeaway:

The strongest communication—whether in business or in the courtroom—comes from alignment. When your choices align with genuine curiosity, and your vocal and physical energy aligns with your content, you create clarity, credibility, and impact without force.
