“How do you eat an elephant?”
One could say, that once you mastered the 3.5 games, you'd have an Algorithm, or "step by step set of rules designed to solve a specific problem." Maybe that is why I'm so fond of that section, as it ties back to the core of the agency we're building?
When I want studying for the LSAT in college, I took a course on campus in our student union and although I don't remember the three and a half ways to solve logic games off the top of my head, I remember our teacher's simple mantra on the process of doing something hard, something that takes work. He would simply stop class and ask, "How do you eat an elephant?"
He only told us the answer the first time, but the question was the trigger we all needed to shift our focus to where it needed to be in that moment.
Separately, I have to say this, the LSAT took logic games off the exam, and I am sad, because although when you first looked at them as a student, you thought, "what am I doing here?" This section was the one most trainable section of the exam, where if you put in the work you would come out the other side knowing the very few versions of the questions that could be produced, master a system for executing on the exam, and almost always know you had one perfect scored section when you leave.

Building A Sports Agency
"You should have leveraged this friendship a year ago, I would have given you an internship . . . Anyways, let me know if you ever need anything." - the Agent ended the call saying.
Well, we're here now.
It's 2026, almost 10 years after interviewing for an opportunity to work for an NFL agent after law school. Admittedly, I had no sports background at the time, but someone I knew was a former NFL player connected me with his agent my last year at GW Law.

A week or so later, e-mail him and his office offering to work for him for free, and drive Uber/Lyft at night to cover my bills. Something I was used to doing already during my 2L summer unpaid internship, where I'd turn on my Uber/Lyft apps the moment I got to my car after leaving the office driving until at least midnight.
Never heard from the agent again, and that's ok. I don't take things personal like that.
Yesterday, in collaboration with my law firm Sandberg Phoenix we launched a Sports, Talent, and Front Office representation firm, Algorithm Talent.
The press releases went out, the messages came in, but it's Day 2, and we're here now.
I've had a lot of questions in the past 24 hours so I figured I'd answer some here…..
