Legal Grounds | Conversations on Life, Leadership & Law
After over three decades in the legal-trenches, Mike Bassett has learned to appreciate two things: good conversation & good coffee.
Legal Grounds is an ongoing series of interviews with the people who are shaping our world - legal or otherwise. Witty, irreverent, & always thoughtful, these brief discussions fall somewhere between “Night Court” & Hopper’s “Nighthawks At The Diner”.
With that in mind, we promise your coffee will still be warm when the podcast is done.

Legal Grounds | Conversations on Life, Leadership & Law
Legal Grounds | Allen Klein
I was tempted to release this week's episode as my New Year's podcast, but I think it’s still early enough in the year that the sentiment is still there.
As we enter year three of an ever-changing pandemic, it might seem like there’s just nothing left to laugh about anymore. Much less, things that leave us in ‘awe’!
That’s why I thought it might be a good idea to find someone who not only sees the world as an actively awe-inspiring place but has made a living spreading that message and helping others to see it, too.
Allen Klein is an author, internationally sought-after speaker, and the world’s one and only “Jollytologist”. And he’s got the credentials to boot.
He followed his dream of becoming a set designer and eventually found himself working for one of the longest running children's shows - Captain Kangaroo. In 1982 Allen returned to academia, earning his Masters in Therapeutic Humor from St. Mary University of Minnesota.
What would follow is a writing and speaking career that is now entering its 4th decade.
Allen has written over 15 books, including the international best-seller, “The Healing Power of Humor” which has been reprinted over 30 times in more than 10 different languages, as well as his latest work, “The Awe Factor: How A Little Bit of Wonder Can Make A Big Difference in Your Life”.
It was a wonderful, lighthearted conversation that I hope can lift your spirits & help finish out the week with a little bit of awe.
Enjoy the show.
