EP 52 Thriving in Law and Life After 70

Curiosity doesn’t retire. If you keep learning, connecting, and moving - aging becomes a rich and vibrant part of the journey.

With a legal career that spans more than four decades, Louis Goodman has lived many chapters - from his early days as a Deputy District Attorney in Alameda County to running a high-volume criminal defense practice. 

Now, as the thoughtful and ever-curious host of the Love Thy Lawyer podcast, Louis gives us a front-row seat to the lives and lessons of legal professionals.

But this conversation goes way beyond courtrooms and case law.

At 71, Louis is still exploring, growing, and trying new things - from foil boarding and snowboarding to diving deep into books, film, and podcasting. His energy is contagious, his reflections are wise, and his story is proof that staying engaged and evolving is the key to aging with vitality.

In this episode, we dive into:
 ✨ How Louis keeps his passion for law alive after 40+ years
 ✨ The social dynamics of the legal world … and why court feels a lot like high school
 ✨ The importance of staying physically active and mentally curious
 ✨ Launching a podcast in his late 60s and leaning into new skills and tech
 ✨ Why community, connection, and continuous learning are the ultimate anti-aging tools

If you’re craving a story that breaks the mold of what aging should look like, Louis brings it. Tune in to hear how he continues to challenge expectations, live fully, and love what he does.

Whether you’re into law, storytelling, or simply seeking inspiration to stay lit up about life - this one’s for you.
