• 00:00:00 In this video, John Uustal discusses the importance of cultivating a beginner mindset in order to explore unlikely possibilities. He notes that, in his first trial, he noticed that the defense lawyers were defending against a different case than the one that he and his partner were actually making. He asked his partner what was going on, and his partner explained that the defense lawyers knew the best case that they could bring, but that they weren't using the best case because they didn't have the same expertise as the defense lawyers. John Uustal's approach to the case was fresh and different, which allowed him to see something that the more experienced lawyers didn't.
