The biggest leadership failures rarely come from bad intentions. They come from leaders who stop asking questions.

In this episode of Tell Me More, Joel Worthington sits down with nationally recognized trial attorney and entrepreneur Parag Amin to unpack the deep connection between leadership, influence, trust, decision-making, and human psychology. After recovering more than $280 million for clients and building a highly successful law practice from scratch, Parag shares the leadership lessons he’s learned from the courtroom — and why they apply directly to business, culture, and organizational success.

From jury selection and persuasion to hiring, accountability, due diligence, and difficult conversations, Joel and Parag explore how great leaders build trust, influence teams, and avoid the blind spots that destroy businesses.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why great leaders ask hard questions — especially of themselves
• How poor due diligence destroys businesses and relationships
• The leadership danger of overconfidence and the Dunning-Kruger Effect
• Why trust, credibility, and integrity are everything in leadership
• How influence works in courtrooms, boardrooms, and team meetings
• Why employees and teams behave like juries
• How leaders lose people when they rely on authority instead of persuasion
• Why successful teams are built through belief, culture, and accountability

Parag also shares powerful lessons from growing his law firm, leading high-performing teams, and helping entrepreneurs avoid legal and leadership mistakes that can cost them everything.

Because leadership isn’t about forcing people to follow you.
It’s about earning trust, building credibility, and winning people over through authenticity and preparation.

Lean in — and tell me more.
