# 3 Key Takeaways from Cockpit Counsel
Summer may be winding down, but things on the [Cockpit Counsel Podcast](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/channel/5n2wsarz98) are heating up.
Earlier this summer, we launched the podcast version of our fan-favorite [Cockpit Counsel webinar series](https://linksquares.com/cockpit-counsel-series/). LinkSquares CLO and real-life pilot, [Tim Parilla](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-parilla-64a4b36/), has interviewed over a dozen people from different walks of life who are willing to share their hard-earned advice.
Each Friday, we’ve taken the webinar audio and turned it into a podcast episode you can literally carry in your pocket. The [listening possibilities](https://blog.linksquares.com/3-ways-you-can-access-cockpit-counsel-this-summer) are endless-during your daily commute, grocery shopping, or you could be super meta and listen to it while you’re on a plane. (Woah.)
So what’s the top podcast episode, and what have we learned from the series? Here are three key takeaways from the Cockpit Counsel Podcast Series:
## Takeaway 1: Data privacy is a hot-button issue
One of our most popular podcast episodes in the series is unsurprisingly data privacy. \*Anticlimactic drum roll.\* With extensive [2023 changes](https://blog.linksquares.com/how-legal-can-prepare-for-data-privacy-2023) on everyone’s minds, it’s no surprise that [Data Privacy with Andy Dale](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/channel/5n2wsarz98?wchannelid=5n2wsarz98&wmediaid=fzjggzgmp4) is more relevant than ever.
## Takeaway 2: Legal leaders want career best practices
From [cryptocurrency](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/channel/5n2wsarz98?wchannelid=5n2wsarz98&wmediaid=7euz9qu5wy)to [AI](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/channel/5n2wsarz98?wchannelid=5n2wsarz98&wmediaid=98tck1vnxe), legal’s approach to technology is changing. Legal leaders also want advice on all things career, networking, and building their own brands. LinkSquares Commercial Counsel [Brittany Wayne](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/channel/5n2wsarz98?wchannelid=5n2wsarz98&wmediaid=uv42d3pl6c) and VP of Legal [Jonathan Greenblatt](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/channel/5n2wsarz98?wchannelid=5n2wsarz98&wmediaid=fbqexf1sbu) share their advice on embracing growth and navigating a lean legal team in two popular episodes.
## Takeaway 3: It’s never been a better time to build your brand
Nobody said building your legal brand would be easy, but you wouldn’t know it when it comes to [Commvault](https://www.commvault.com/) CLO, [Danielle Sheer,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellesheer/) and [Alyce](https://www.alyce.com/) GC, [Andy Dale](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andy-dale-7705b83/). Amongst other things, [Building Your GC Brand](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/channel/5n2wsarz98?wchannelid=5n2wsarz98&wmediaid=vve1f4hf41) encourages “starting a mini-revolution” from the pros who've been there, done that. No wonder it’s our episode with the highest engagement so far.
There are many new adventures on the horizon for Cockpit Counsel. Tim and his co-hosts will cover an exciting range of topics over the next few months, including [the interesting sales/legal dynamic](https://go.linksquares.com/sales-and-legal-on-demand), the life of a Technical Solutions Attorney (TSA), and even AI and data science. Make sure you’re following the #TakeOffTuesday hashtag on social media so you never miss an episode, and let us know what you want to see in the future.
Buckle up. We’re just getting started!
