Lawyer Stories
Hosted by Lawyer Stories
An interview podcast where lawyers, founders, and consultants share the personal journeys and motivations behind their legal careers.
A long-form interview show focused on the narrative behind the resume. Host Benny Gold talks to lawyers, legal tech entrepreneurs, and consultants not just about their work, but about their upbringing, early career struggles, and the 'why' that drives them. The conversations are less about legal theory and more about the human experience of building a career in and around the law.
“Unlike podcasts focused on case law or firm management, Lawyer Stories prioritizes the personal narrative, frequently asking guests about their upbringing and formative experiences. The host's genuine curiosity about the person behind the professional title creates a more intimate and relatable conversation than typical industry shows.”
