James Sexton is trial lawyer from NYC with two decades of experience negotiating and litigating high-conflict divorces. He's also the best selling author of “If you’re in my office, it’s already too late: a divorce lawyer’s guide to staying together”. Whilst this book is written for those already in a committed relationship or marriage, I believe it’s a brilliant book to read before you even think about being in a committed relationship or marriage. Reverse engineering a relationship can help identify and fix what doesn’t work, and that’s exactly the kind of insight and wisdom that James can offer us all thanks to many years he’s spent working on the front lines of divorce. In this episode James and I talk about: Why relationships fail AND how to avoid these pitfalls The freedom of reinventing yourself after divorce The need for deep connection and the importance of compatibility What you need to know before looking for love or committing to a relationship Why what’s fun when you’re dating could be a pain in the ass when you’re married What women can do to bring out the best in their man, and How to have the hard conversations. Enjoy!
