Jefferson Fisher is an American lawyer, podcast host and author, best known as the host of The Jefferson Fisher Podcast. His first book, The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More, was published in March 2025 and became a New York Times bestseller.
The professional background is the interesting part. Communication advice arrives from all quarters these days, but it lands differently coming from a lawyer – someone for whom arguing well, and choosing not to argue at all, is the day job rather than the seminar topic. The podcast, meanwhile, has made him a practised hand at delivering that advice out loud.
