Cade Parian - Miles Mediation & Arbitration

Y’all, it is way too quiet in here. 🤫

I’ve reached a point of desperation. This morning, I spent twenty minutes trying to get the office wall to see things from the ceiling fan’s perspective.
The wall didn't budge, and the fan just kept going in circles. Neither one of 'em was interested in a compromise.

I’m used to a busy February, but a few folks had to reschedule, and now I’ve got three wide-open dates staring back at me. If I don't get some real folks in here to mediate soon, I’m liable to start trying to settle a boundary dispute between the stapler and the tape dispenser.

If you’ve got a conflict that needs a steady hand (and a mediator who’s tired of his own company), I’m wide open on:

🗓️ February 2nd
🗓️ February 3rd
🗓️ February 9th

Give me a shout or send me a DM. My office walls are tired of hearing me talk, and I’m pretty sure the feeling is mutual.

Let’s get your folks to the table and get some business done.

In am the "Voice of the Carrollton Trojans." It's a commitment during football season to show up every weekend to describe the on-field action. It requires detailed preparation of statistics, jersey numbers, and storylines. Do I have to spend hours prepping for every game? No. It is my choice. It is my security blanket to not sound like an idiot on air.

The mantra "Preparation is Key" is an overused one in the legal profession. However, it is 10,000% true. While for surgeons, perfection is key to a good outcome; lawyers only need to be prepared to put their best efforts forward. It is impossible to control all variables in a legal setting. I see so many lawyers collapse under their starve for perfection. It is unattainable.

Perfection is impossible for a play-by-play person too. Inevitably, you will refer to the "clock" as the "c**k." You will also mention the need for "dry balls" when the game is a rainy mess. There will be burps, sneezes, unpronounceable Eastern Bloc country names, and everything in between.

My hobby as the "Voice of the Carrollton Trojans" has helped me immensely with my perfectionism. Just being your raw self is what people want. Authenticity wins over perfectionism all day long!
