Do you remember your first traffic ticket? I do. I was 17, driving to high school, and it involved me hitting an actual, live person with my car at the tender age of 17. To hear the rest of the story, and also hear all about my daughter’s inaugural ticket, you’ll have to tune into this week’s episode of the Norah and Dad Show Podcast, which you’ll find on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Overcast, the web, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
In other news, on Tuesday, 11/19 at noon, I’ll be part of an all-star panel of employment lawyers that my friend Eric Meyer is hosting. He and I, along with Dan Schwartz, Amy Epstein Gluck, and Dessi Day, will be discussing how the election will shape employment law in 2025 and beyond. It’s free to join, but you do need to pre-register here.
