Planning with Purpose: Debra Koven on Life, Law, and Leadership

Join host Michele Kawamoto Perry in a compelling conversation with attorney and international best-selling author Debra Koven, as they explore her transition from litigation to estate planning. Drawing from her book 100 Percent Mortality: 15 Stories of Excuses, Mistakes, and Misunderstandings in Estate Planning, Debra shares how her leadership philosophy—rooted in empathy, education, and authenticity—guides her work with clients and informs every aspect of her practice. Through candid stories and hard-earned wisdom, she reflects on balancing a demanding legal career with family life, and how her values have become the foundation of her approach to law, leadership, and service.
