David & Mary Boies

About this episode

David and Mary Boies discuss their marriage and the impact of tragic loss on their relationship.

The role most people know David Boies for is not “husband.” But our interview with this legendary litigator and his whipsmart wife showed us how tragic loss, and a few well considered compromises (involving Las Vegas), can lead to an “upward spiral of kindness” — and a marriage that any couple would envy.
