What Hidden Advantage Did David Gain by Influencing a Million People In Federal Prison and 50 Students At USC
Description
In this episode, I share the story of a physician who discovered too late that his sentencing memorandum didn’t reflect any of his work, and I contrast that with David Mulder, who decided to take action even when his lawyer told him not to. David watched interviews with federal judges, realized he hadn’t “fixed the window,” and reached out for help. Together, we created a narrative, got it into the probation report, and built on it with volunteering, speaking, and character letters. His lawyer had no idea our team was involved, but the strategy worked. Guidelines called for 48 to 60 months. The sentence was 12 months probation and 21 days in county jail. The point is simple: whether your lawyer is engaged or not, you must create. Judges notice when you act. You can hear the full context in the podcast or read the blog version on White Collar Advice.
