In this episode I sit down with Tennessee criminal defense/domestic relations attorney and legendary viral video creator, Dana McLendon III. A trial lawyer with more than three decades of courtroom experience defending clients in some of the toughest cases imaginable. A graduate of Vanderbilt Law School, Dana has built a reputation as a relentless advocate, combining sharp legal strategy with a deep understanding of human behavior.

Alongside his legal career, Dana also dedicated more than 25 years to serving in city government, giving him the rare perspective of simultaneously practicing law while helping shape public policy and municipal governance. His experience working both inside government and in the courtroom has provided him with unique insight into leadership, public service, and the intersection of law and government.

Outside the courtroom, Dana became an unlikely internet sensation as the creator of the "Hot/Crazy Matrix," a comedic relationship white-board presentation that has amassed hundreds of millions of views and become part of internet culture.

In this episode, I sit down with Judge Glen Watkins to explore an extraordinary life story that began as the son of a used car dealer in the Tampa Bay area and led to a career of service at the highest levels of government. Along the way, he became the youngest person ever selected to serve as a Federal Administrative Law Judge, a distinction that reflects both his talent and dedication to the law.

Judge Watkins shares lessons learned from an uncommon career path that includes service in both the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy, work as a state prosecutor, and time spent as a public defender—giving him a unique perspective on justice from every side of the courtroom.

We discuss his educational journey from Florida State University, where he earned a degree in finance, to Stetson University College of Law, and ultimately to Georgetown University Law Center. Along the way, he relied on the GI Bill and the opportunities created through military service to help finance his education—a testament to determination, discipline, and making the most of every opportunity available.

This episode is a conversation about merit, opportunity, public service, and the enduring promise that dedication and perseverance can open doors that once seemed unimaginable. From a Tampa Bay upbringing and a family-run used car business to military service, elite legal education, and the federal bench, Judge Watkins' journey is a compelling example of the American Dream in action.
