OUR GUESTS
Don't just take our word for it
Very rarely in life will you find someone with the combination of curiosity, intelligence, and EQ that Tyler brings to the party. Combine that with someone who enjoys getting to know someone, and you have a superlative interviewer that makes things feel like a conversation.
Seth Weissman
Former Chief Legal Officer of Marqeta and General Counsel of SolarCity
The Abstract is not your typical legal podcast; rather, Tyler explores really interesting aspects of folks' careers and lessons they've learned working inside, outside or adjacent to corporate legal teams. And Tyler makes it super-easy and fun to be a guest - more like a friendly 1:1 convo at a coffee shop (or bakery!) than a podcast.

The wonderful thing about the Abstract and Tyler's approach is that it offers a window into how legal professionals think - not just on technical legal issues, or on career trajectory, but also on a personal level. It's a unique perspective and highlights the value that legal training can bring into any context.
