e dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Missed opportunity. I love

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,600
sharing conversations. Hosting them requires a lot of show prep.

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,560
Now my podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests. What you

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,200
don't have access to are my missed opportunities. I mean,

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,880
the show prep was one hundred percent completed, the conversation

15
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:54,920
it didn't happen. I keep all of my notes because

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,880
I believe that paths will one day cross again. Let

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,479
me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,480
their answers. I'm leaving open enough space at the end

19
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:09,560
of every question, hoping they'll download the talk and insert

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,159
their answers, then send it back to me. Missed opportunity

21
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:15,760
is a lost piece of history, Like a message in

22
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:18,079
a bottle, it's been tossed out to see. I just

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,879
hope to locate a destination. This week, we're putting focus

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:27,760
on my missed opportunity with defense lawyer Nancy Hollander. Okay,

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,640
Nancy Hollander a real life attorney played by the legendary

26
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:34,400
Jodi Foster. You remember that movie from twenty twenty one,

27
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:39,680
The Mareitinian. Nancy Hollander is an internationally recognized criminal defense lawyer.

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,879
Her practice is dedicated to representing individuals and businesses who

29
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,280
have been accused of getting involved with national security issues. Now,

30
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:52,879
how does that twenty twenty one movie play into this? Well,

31
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:55,319
it's a true story about one man's long fight for

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,480
freedom and his relentless pursuit for justice. The movie was

33
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,400
directed by My Academy Award winner Kevin McDonald. He was

34
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:05,560
the creator of the Last King of Scotland and Whitney. Now,

35
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:09,599
if you still buy DVDs, this set comes with alternate

36
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:14,680
openings and several deleted scenes. The invitation to share a

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,039
conversation with Nancy Hollander arrived on May seventh, two thousand,

38
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:23,680
twenty one. Today's date who March fourth, twenty twenty six,

39
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:28,439
Many many, many years have gone by. The promotions team said, yeah,

40
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,439
let's put this together. In fact, we're going to give

41
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:33,280
you a twenty minute talk on May thirteenth. My reply

42
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,240
is always going to be two words. This time around,

43
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,159
I chose can't wait. Three days later, my twenty minute

44
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:42,639
talk was cut in half, which is never an issue.

45
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:44,680
I've been known to do three minute talks that are

46
00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:48,080
better than a twenty minute talk. May twelfth, the zoom

47
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:51,159
link was sent, Oh my god, this was going to

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,919
happen well. Within twenty four hours, that talk was moved

49
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,400
to May twenty fifth, twenty twenty one, to which my reply, MM,

50
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,360
it was more more than two words. It was oh no,

51
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:10,080
I am unavailable, which is very rare of me. Coming

52
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,280
up next, my questions, my statements for Nancy Hollander on

53
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Missed Opportunity. Hey, thanks for coming back to Missed Opportunity

54
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,560
this week. It's my missed opportunity with defense lawyer Nancy Hollander.

55
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:30,639
Not very often do we get the opportunity to have

56
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,759
a real conversation with a real person associated with a movie.

57
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,000
When you looked into Jodie Foster's eyes. What did you

58
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,759
feel the movie itself? This film has the strength to

59
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,360
create conversations long after that experience on a flat screen

60
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,240
TV or inside a theater. How did you find any

61
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,479
type of peace of mind when you know what this

62
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:00,800
movie is about being a criminal defense lawyer. Every court

63
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:04,680
room is not the same. How do you deal with

64
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:07,879
the reverb as well as those who don't respect the

65
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:11,840
room as much as you do? I love this quote.

66
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:16,040
It's not who we are now, it's who we were then.

67
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,720
Oh that deserves to be in a courtroom. It's not

68
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,680
who we are now, it's who we were then. Nancy,

69
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,959
you did a lot of behind the scenes government work

70
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,160
on this to keep this movie moving forward. What was

71
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:35,079
the right reason you felt in your heart? I mean, seriously,

72
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:36,720
how are you able to travel the world to do

73
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:39,519
what you do? Is there a global bar that you

74
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,000
stop in where people go, Hey, everybody, it's Nancy. Were

75
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,319
you on the set to watch any of this piece together?

76
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:51,959
You are credited for turning this book into a movie

77
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,439
now available on DVD. What is that like when your

78
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:02,959
thoughts of the past become our present as viewers? And

79
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,079
there you have it? Another missed opportunity a lost piece

80
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:08,240
of history. It's a message in a bottle that's been

81
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,560
tossed out to see and it's time to locate the

82
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,319
destination missed opportunity. You now know the questions, so let's

83
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,959
locate the reactions. The door is always going to be open.
