Bourbon of Proof
This week, Bob and Mauro welcome Quintessa Marketing founder Lauren Von Mingee—who went from fetching coffee for personal injury lawyers to running her own PI marketing empire. Lauren breaks down how she scales law firms and intake services, why she calls herself the “world’s best problem solver,” and how she gives away a jaw-dropping 50% of her income. And speaking of charity, Mauro confesses to Lauren about scooping up as much free Quintessa swag as he can at legal conferences when no one is looking… What a rascal!!

Today on Bourbon of Proof, Bob and Mauro welcome AI wizards of plaintiff law, Jay Madheswaran and Ryan Jensen. Jay reveals the curious origin of his company’s name, Eve, warns about the risks of tossing your legal data into hungry AI models and even ponders if artificial intelligence might one day taste and smell (cheers to that?). Meanwhile, Ryan tackles the uphill battle of convincing skeptical attorneys that AI isn’t out to steal their lunch—it’s just here to cook it faster! Oh—and through all the tech talk, Mauro makes his case (again) that nobody ever gets his name right! Salut!...

He founded Foundation AI to solve a massive bottleneck law firms face daily: the flood of physical mail and email in legal workflows.

They also tackle the hot topic of AI transparency—should firms disclose it? Should they use it as a selling point? And if all that weren’t enough, there’s Garrison Bros Whiskey Pecan Ice Cream in the mix!

This week on Bourbon of Proof the guys welcome Joe Rodonis, a fitness coach and mental strength junkie who immediately questions how he ended up on a legal podcast. But Joe fits right in, flexing his muscles AND his mind as they dive into the psychology behind fitness, law, and the weird overlap between a bench press and a courtroom bench. Their chat gets philosophical, a little sweaty, and possibly competitive as Bob and Mauro settle things the only way that makes sense: a push-up contest.
