This week on Bourbon of Proof, legal tech wizard Kenny Eliason joins Bob and Mauro straight from Las Vegas. He shares stories about getting the boot from law school and how it actually turned out to be the best plot twist in his career. He also drops knowledge on how AI and social media are shaking up the legal world and dives into how his company, Quilia, is turning law firms into productivity powerhouses. And if that weren't enough, Kenny has a very convincing argument for why driving from Vegas to LA is always better than flying... Buckle up!

Today on Bourbon of Proof, Bob and Mauro are joined by attorney, podcaster, and certified Kentucky expert Mikaela Dixon — Bob’s former law clerk turned rising legal star. Mikaela hosts the Ladies in Law podcast, so she knows her way around a microphone (and a courtroom). The guys share stories from the Kentucky Derby and Mikaela proves she can hold her own when it comes to Bluegrass State trivia. She’s not just sipping bourbon, ladies and gentlemen — she’s serving facts!

This time on Bourbon of Proof, Bob and Mauro welcome legal tech trailblazer Vivek Rao. He founded Foundation AI to solve a massive bottleneck law firms face daily: the flood of physical mail and email in legal workflows. He dives into the current capabilities of legal AI, how far automation has come, and answers the big question: how long until AI agents are doing everything for us? (it may be sooner than you think) Don't worry, it’s not all business — once the whiskey starts flowing, Bob quizzes Vivek about his “pirate days” aboard a booze cruise in Portugal... Ahoy!

This week on Bourbon of Proof, Bob and Mauro are joined by the incomparable Micki Love of CJ Advertising and Xcelerator Consulting. They dive into why data is the real MVP behind law firm growth, how AI-driven intake is changing the game, and why making clients repeat themselves might be the silent killer of your firm’s reputation. 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. Grab your favorite bourbon-infused protein shake and join the reps, rants, and ridiculousness — LFG!!

On this episode of Bourbon of Proof, lawyer-turned-producer Gary Raskin joins the guys to talk shop—Hollywood-style. From negotiating entertainment deals to carving out his own space in the industry, Gary knows how to hustle in a business built on dreams and contracts. He also spills the (bourbon-soaked) tea on being an early investor in Brother’s Bond Bourbon and helping the brand grow into a fan favorite. Meanwhile, Mauro takes a long winter’s nap mid-episode...

In this episode, Darren Fancher rolls in with gifts—cocktail kits from The Mixing Glass & Market in Costa Mesa, CA. This legal tech visionary joins Bob and Mauro to stir, sip, and spill the tea on his journey from Silicon Valley burnout to eventual startup success. He opens up about selling a company mid-COVID (party canceled), and how his latest venture, Bot Mediation, is settling disputes faster than you can say “calendar continuance.” The guys also take a nostalgic detour into Bob’s illustrious telemarketing days. Yes, folks, Bob once sold dreams… one phone call at a time.

On this effervescent episode of Bourbon of Proof, the guys sip on something stronger while guest Colleen Joyce enjoys some bubbly (she’s more Dom than Jim Beam). She shares how she built Lawyer.com from a startup to a legal tech powerhouse with a bold brand that she quite literally chased across the globe—including a wild trip to Greece to recruit none other than Lindsay Lohan to be the celebrity face of the company. Colleen discusses leading the AI charge in the legal space, what her company looked like at the beginning vs. today, and she and Bob even find time to create some hypothetical dream Euro vacations. All that while Mauro breaks down his conspiracy theories about Colombian hippos and L.A. parrots forming rogue empires... Settle in and enjoy!

On another "dry" episode of Bourbon of Proof, the guys sit down with attorney, trailblazer, and all-around badass Angel Reyes for a conversation over a delicious, alcohol-free gin alternative. Angel dives into stories about growing up in Puerto Rico, drops wisdom on navigating property tax madness in Texas vs. California, and explains why his firm lives by a “file first” mentality to fast-track justice! The crew also takes a nostalgic detour through Bob and Mauro’s glory days on the baseball field (spoiler: neither of them is making the Hall of Fame) and Angel shares how a bold move—becoming the first legal advertiser on Univision—paid off in a big way. An episode full of stories about risk and resilience, pull up a chair and jump in!

In a rare twist, the whiskey stays corked as East Coast Lawyer Joe Volta joins Bob and Mauro for an alcohol-free episode of BOP (don’t worry, the chaos remains intact). Joe gets real about his journey through addiction and recovery, “dishes” on his culinary past, and throws some shade at Bob’s beloved Steelers in favor of his Ravens. He also drops wisdom on how to land and actually KEEP clients—and discusses his personal strategy of “firing himself.” Meanwhile, Mauro admits he travels with a suspiciously thick pile of mail (bills? fan letters? expired Bed Bath & Beyond coupons?) and passionately ranks his favorite board games. This one’s a sober reminder that the proof isn’t always in the bourbon.
