56. Jefferson Fisher - Becoming a Social Media Sensation

For some, success can be a long road, and for others, it can happen overnight. The quality that both these people have in common is staying true to who they are, no matter how long it takes. Jefferson Fisher ‪@jeffersonfisher‬ is a board-certified Texas trial lawyer and founder of Fisher Firm, which has over 6 million followers on social media. He enjoys teaching people to persuade and communicate effectively in high-conflict situations. “I help people argue less so they can talk more.” On this week's episode, Maria sits down with Jefferson to discuss gaining millions of followers overnight, tips on genuine communication, his upcoming book, running his law firm, and his love of peanut M&Ms. Key Takeaways Take a step back. Take a pause before responding to someone else’s aggression. Maybe they’re having a bad day and it’s not about you. Don’t overthink it. Sometimes it’s better to get things done than to be a perfectionist. Don’t let it keep you from moving forward. Share your passion. Chances are someone else is passionate about the same thing you are. Put yourself out there, and you’ll probably be rewarded.
