He says vague things that people nod at and then he sells while they are going with him.

Background
Dr. Phil was a top tear jury consultant. Oprah got sued by the Big Beef over one comment on one show. They wanted $5M (I think) for defamation or some nonsense. This is Oprah money we’re talking about. Pocket change. Nope. She wasn’t going to take it and she won.


As part of Winfrey’s legal team, Babcock tapped a jury consultant for the case he had used before. Phil McGraw impressed Winfrey enough for her to later invite him on her show, launching his new career as Dr. Phil.
