This week, the guys welcome Australia's own Courtney Barber. Courtney is Chief of Sales at Independent Life and also hosts the Settlement Nation podcast—two platforms where she offers sharp financial advice for lawyers and their clients. Naturally, Bob and Mauro take the opportunity to ask for Courtney's professional opinion on whether or not they should buy a private plane. The conversation then detours Down Under, where Courtney teaches the boys how to survive run-ins with Australia's deadliest creatures. To top it off, they all enjoy a friendly game of "Which Australian Animal Would You Want to Kill You?" Cheers, mates!

This week on Bourbon of Proof, the guys welcome powerhouse attorney (and all-around superhero mom) Bibi Fell. She shares deeply personal stories about her young daughter's encounter with cancer and their heroic journey together back to health. And if that weren't touching enough, we get to hear Bibi's angelic singing voice as well. Lawyers, life lessons, and lullabies (stay awake Mauro!!)... this very special episode's got it all!

Live from Huntington Beach, the Bourbon of Proof crew braves the unthinkable—RAIN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?! On this unconventional, outdoor episode, Bob and Alex's wives finally make their podcast debut. They dive into stories of shared family vacations and Mauro's legendary ability to always be late (while somehow still getting everyone into the best spots for dinner and drinks)! A little tequila, a lot of thunder and a whole bunch of spousal truth-telling—what could possibly go wrong?

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!

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!!
