Episode Description from the Publisher

Recorded live at TLU 2026 in Huntington Beach, host Przemek Lubecki sits down with nationally recognized trucking attorney Michael Cowen for a wide-ranging conversation about what it really takes to become a great trial lawyer — and a happy one.Michael opens by recapping a recent federal court trial in Philadelphia: a complex truck-on-truck collision case with a sympathetic but challenging client, a bifurcated trial, and an all-white conservative jury. He walks through how he framed the case, what the defense bet on, and how a jury deadlock ultimately became leverage for a favorable settlement.From there, the conversation shifts to Michael's origin story — growing up on the Texas-Mexico border, a path through Big Law in New York, and what ultimately pulled him toward plaintiff's work. He traces his evolution from a results-obsessed, depression-prone lawyer to someone who genuinely enjoys every trial, crediting years of intentional mindset work, coaching, and a daily practice rooted in The Miracle Morning.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Michael Cowen | LinkedIn☑️ Cowen Law on Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, & YouTube☑️ Przemek Lubecki | LinkedIn☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube
