NEXT LAWYER UP

Next Lawyer Up

I am a fan of a number of podcasts that are done by comedians where they talk to other comedians. These podcasts mostly feature comedian friends and acquaintances that have known one another over the years. It is interesting to me since they are in the same world and the discussion centers more around their lives and history, rather than what they do. Many of the lawyers that I know have interesting backgrounds and lives. Rarely does that information get divulged since most lawyers spend a majority of their time engaged in what is, pretty often, the stressful practice of law. It occurred to me to reach out to some of these lawyers to try and have a one-on-one discussion with them about how they got to where they are now. These lawyers are well-respected in their communities, both professionally and socially. These Next Lawyer Up podcasts are also available for free at Itunes, Stitcher, and at "PlayerFM Player FM – Internet Radio Done Right.
"
For our next iteration of this podcast, in addition to lawyers, of course, I am also doing a "sub-podcast" under this title with my non-lawyer friends called "Ronnie and Friends." These are friends that I have gotten to know over the years that have had a meaningful impact on my life and memory. You will see them sprinkled in periodically as the podcasts come out.

Below is a list of all of the podcasts to date and you can simply click on the individual’s name below that will link directly to the podcast episode where they are featured.

Episode 200 - Next Lawyer Up with Ron Sykstus featuring Doug Jones

Next Lawyer Up Logo

It is hard for me to believe that I have reached the milestone of 200 podcasts with many highly respected lawyers throughout Alabama and across the country over the past ten years. Fittingly, Doug Jones is the first lawyer that I have spoken with for a second time in the last decade of the podcast. I initially spoke with Doug nine years ago, right before his election as United States Senator for the State of Alabama.
