Episode #14
You Become the Lawyers You Learn From, with Todd Smith and Brian LaCien
Sep 28, 202654 minS6
Some lawyers spend their careers avoiding the toughest cases. Todd A. Smith and Brian LaCien built their Chicago firm, Smith LaCien LLP , on taking them. Together, they've secured over 100 verdicts and settlements above a million dollars. On this episode, they walk host Rahul Ravipudi through a $51 million emergency-room verdict — the third-highest med-mal award for an adult in Illinois — that turned on a single missing blood test, and a railroad crossing case they navigated around brutal federal preemption. Along the way, Todd shares how he keeps ironclad control on cross-examination, and Brian explains why juries can always sniff out a lawyer who isn't authentic. They also trace how the mentors who shaped them still surface in how they try cases. Learn More and Connect ☑️ Todd A.

Suing Big Tech and Fighting ICE: Trial Law as Social Change, with Ben & Rahul
Sep 14, 202651 minS6
How do you force a trillion-dollar company to do the right thing? Rahul Ravipudi 's answer runs on cold economics: big companies won't behave until it's more expensive not to. That's the pressure trial lawyers are putting on Meta, TikTok, Snap, and YouTube in the litigation over kids' mental health. In this wide-ranging conversation, hosts Ben Gideon and Rahul trade notes on cases that sit far outside most trial lawyers' wheelhouses. Ben shares about his civil rights fight against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Maine, including the killing of a young man who was never the operation's target. Together, they explore how impact litigation forces accountability—and why the hardest cases make you a sharper advocate for every client.

Your Software Won't Win the Trial, with Sara Cordrey
Aug 31, 202644 minS6
What if the most powerful AI in your practice still isn't the thing winning your cases? Sara Cordrey , CEO and co-founder of the legal AI platform Parambil , built with chief medical officer Dr. Ralph Horwitz, argues that technology is leverage—not a substitute for a lawyer's judgment or for the medical record itself. Drawing on her McKinsey work analyzing gaps in patient care, she explains how purpose-built AI helps trial lawyers rip through records, reorder how cases get worked up, and surface insights sooner—while never leaving the primary source behind. Host Ben Gideon digs into build-versus-buy, data security, and where legal AI is heading next.

Elawvate: The Trial Lawyer Podcast
Two Minutes to Win the Jury with Robert Hirschhorn
Aug 3, 202651 min
Jury consultant Robert Hirschhorn built his career on a promise to his late wife and mentor, Cathy Bennett: make her tools accessible to lawyers who couldn't otherwise afford them. That promise became VerdictHub , an AI tool that runs venue-specific surveys using the equivalent of 500 "digital jurors," with results delivered in three days for $3,000. Robert joins Ben Gideon and Rahul Ravipudi to break down when a two-minute voir dire can outperform an hour-long one, why he's reversed course on jury questionnaires, and how scaled questions can flag problem jurors fast. Ben compares VerdictHub against his own live-juror data test. Tune in for where AI helps jury selection — and where it still can't replace instinct.

Episode #10
Build Your Own Trial Toolkit, with Sharif Gray
Jun 22, 202648 minS6
Every trial training promises the answer. Sharif Gray spent four years attending them all — and discovered the real lesson is that there is no one answer, only the toolkit you build for yourself. A Virginia Military Institute valedictorian and UVA Law graduate, Sharif joined forces with partner Gray Broughton to build a seven-lawyer firm — five former JAG officers, six former prosecutors. He shares how he won a $20 million verdict on a case with no catastrophic physical injury, battled a hostile judge for meaningful voir dire, and weaponized the defense's overreach to his client's advantage. Hosts Ben Gideon and Rahul Ravipudi explore how hunger, mentorship, and the willingness to lose cases separates good lawyers from great ones.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
