Is it really true that you have to do everything with excellence to succeed in life?
In this episode of the Lawyer Life Podcast, we unpack the pressure to be exceptional at all times—and how that mindset can actually hold you back. From perfectionism to burnout, we explore the hidden costs of chasing excellence in every corner of your life, and why it's okay (and often smarter) to focus your energy more strategically.
Tune in for our conversation about redefining what excellence really means—and how to set the bar for yourself at a reasonable level.

In a world where unreasonable behaviour seems more common than ever, Mike and Darlene ask: Is "being reasonable" something we actively need to protect? They explore how the small choices we make every day shape our ability to stay true to ourselves when faced with major societal upheavals. Are we preparing ourselves to stand by our principles when it really counts? As always, there are goods and gripes! Mike is a hockey coach now, and putting his sheriff-y ways behind him… mostly. Darlene has six pairs of AirPods and can’t find any of them.
