Ep. 269 - H2H Witness Prep with Coach Jody and Coach Marlo

From Hostage To Hero

I’ve got two INCREDIBLE voices joining me: Coach Jody (a.k.a Jody F’ing Moore 😄) and our newest chief collaborator, Coach Marlo Arnold!

Together, we’re tackling a topic so many attorneys struggle with: prepping expert witnesses for trial.

Some key points we hit:

🔑 Finding the Balance: Jody and Marlo dig into what happens when we underprepare OR overprepare our experts — and why a middle ground is where the magic happens.

🔑 Forget the Script: We’re all about genuine conversations. Scripting your expert to the point they sound robotic? It’s not helping anyone.

🔑 Mindset Matters: We break down why mindset is key, and how SCARF principles can help experts keep calm, stay confident, and connect with the jury.

Whether you’re preparing for a major trial or just want to brush up on best practices, this episode’s got you covered.

"Your expert isn’t there to be a robot on the stand. They need to be human, for fuck’s sake—calm, connected, and ready to throw down if they have to. That’s how you get the jury to actually trust them."
