    In Episode 33 of the Legal Genie Podcast, your host, Lara Quie of Lara Q Associates is in conversation with U.S. attorney and coach, Gary Miles. Gary has been practicing law for more than four decades. He's been a trial lawyer and managing partner, a leader, and an entrepreneur. He loves helping people solve problems. He is very passionate about showing people how to free themselves from the prisons that entrap them. So many lawyers are stressed and overwhelmed in their practice, and he provides tangible practical tools to help those clients overcome their obstacles, freeing them to enjoy the success and fulfilment that they have always craved.

    Gary shares openly about his battle with alcoholism and finding sobriety. He talks about switching practice area in his 50s and finding contentment through the practice of gratitude and acceptance.

    I hope that you enjoy this episode.
