138: The Driving Force Behind the Growth of Santa Barbara Public Defense w/Deepak Budwani


Listen Later

Today, Hunter spoke with Deepak Budwani, the Chief Financial and Administrative Officer of the Santa Barbara Public Defender Office to discuss how he was able to grow the office 80% in just five years. Long time listeners of the show will know the emphasis on data collection and data analysis, and Deepak is the model for why those things are a must for public defense. In just under 90 days, Deepak helped open a new PD office in Idaho, and by taking the mindset from his time in the public sector, Deepak quickly grew that office by 50% in just three years. None of these massive success stories could have been possible if Deepak didn’t understand the importance of creating and utilizing systems and processes that could capture the data he needed to make meaningful budget requests!
