34:10Now PlayingJoseph H. Nivin built his matrimonial law firm from the ground up in Forest Hills, New York. But what he brings to the work goes well beyond the courtroom. As someone who has been through divorce himself, he understands on a personal level exactly how much is at stake for the people sitting across from him.
In this episode, Denisa Tova gets the story behind the title: the short-story-writing kid who picked dandelions on the soccer field, the post-9/11 economy that nudged him toward law school, and the baseball players who shaped how he handles failure. Joe opens up about raising his son to value fit over prestige, why he needs to see the impact of his work to love it, and yes, the great guinea pig rescue of a record-setting snowstorm.
A conversation about accountability, resilience, and doing the work even when the day went sideways.
