In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Episode Snapshot

After a four-hour mediation where the Wisconsin couple argued about fishing poles and bait, Mike pivoted away from family law and to personal injury.
For Mike, attending TLU in 2021 “opened up my mind to a whole new universe of how to approach being a lawyer.”
Mike describes his four trials, starting with the first that he tried shortly after attending TLU. State Farm offered nothing to his injured client. The jury awarded $160,000.
When a city garbage truck crashed into a woman’s first-floor apartment, Mike thought he’d solve the matter quickly with a call to the city attorney. In fact, litigation dragged on for a year and a half. He won a jury verdict of $50,000.
For a client who suffered a mild traumatic brain injury after a car accident, Mike won a jury award of $1.5 million for past pain and suffering and $2 million for future pain and suffering.
For six years, Mike worked on a slip-and-fall case on behalf of an elderly client who had a history of slip-and-fall injuries. The jury deliberated for 45 minutes and returned with a $12 million verdict.
In April, Mike will represent a motorcyclist who suffered injuries after hitting a pothole that had existed for some time.

Patrick Kang - Learning from Adversity: My Evolution to Becoming a Winning Trial Lawyer 1:15:41

Patrick Kang lost a toxic mold case back in 2023. “It was the best thing to ever happen to me,” he says. As Patrick explains to host Dan Ambrose , he leveraged the lessons learned in that defeat to secure victories in the cases that followed. Recently, he tried another toxic mold case. This time, he won $6.6 million for his client. Patrick and the team at Ace Law Group will break down that case on February 12. Click here to register.

Patrick’s first job out of law school was for a civil litigation firm in Las Vegas, which promoted him to the city’s Korean community. Patrick eventually left that firm to join two colleagues in launching their own firm. After that venture ended, he started his own firm, now called Ace Law Group . For years, Ace Law Group focused on employment law; in January 2024, the firm tried its first sexual harassment case and won a $1.49 million verdict. TLU On Demand is powerful, but it’s not enough. Patrick says this from experience: At last year’s TLU Vegas, he connected with winning trial lawyers in person. That was a game-changer. Patrick has learned how to explain mold poisoning to a jury from trying such cases over the years. The best way, he suggests, is to describe it like an autoimmune disease. A favorite moment in his recent mold case was when Patrick showed that the apartment landlord knew the building had a history of mold problems. To do so, he presented 30-plus leak complaints on a black board, each work order identified by a red-flagged toothpick. Produced and Powered by LawPods…

Dan Ambrose invites a Michigan colleague to discuss lessons learned from the TLU suite of programs and his upcoming TLU case analysis. Jason Waechter , known as the “Motorcycle Lawyer,” won $27 million on behalf of a motorcyclist whose leg was amputated below the knee after being hit by a distracted driver. Jason outlines the challenges he faced, including that his client had smoked pot while riding the cycle, as well as strategies that he leveraged from TLU during the case. On March 19, he’ll break it all down for a TLU webinar. Register here. Train and Connect with the Titans ☑️ Jason Waechter I LinkedIn I Instagram I Facebook ☑️ Law Offices of Jason A.

Opening day for the Detroit Tigers and 60 days before he officially became a lawyer, Jason tried a case in federal bankruptcy court. He lost but recovered and moved on. In 2016, Jason attended the Trojan Horse seminar, a precursor to Dan’s TLU Bootcamp series. He still remembers the skilled lawyers sharing their knowledge. He also remembers, for the first time, watching videotapes of his own presentations, which revealed that he spoke too quickly and had “alligator” arms. In 2022, Jason represented a motorcyclist who was left an amputee after being struck by a distracted driver. Battling a big firm that initially offered $5 million, Jason leveraged big data to show the true value of the case. Jason deviated from the “10 Commandments” of cross-examination, which allowed him to get a defense expert to agree to his client’s non-economic damages. He ultimately won a $27 million verdict. In voir dire for that case, Jason borrowed from renowned personal injury lawyer Brian Panish, who teaches the eight key questions that plaintiffs’ lawyers should ask jurors in a short timeframe. Jason has his new associate study TLU On Demand educational webinars and report back on how he will apply the skills on a case. Produced and Powered by LawPods…

A frequent participant in the TLU suite of educational courses, Ryan encourages lawyers to take advantage of programs like TLU On Demand . “One of the things that I've kind of always done is set aside time for learning,” Ryan says.

How “The Reptile,” by Don Keenan and David Ball, influenced Ryan as a personal injury lawyer. Ryan’s participation at a “Welcome to the Revolution” deposition seminar led him to a partnership with Don Keenan. An early trucking case taught Ryan that trucking crashes are not the same as car accidents. Dan explains why it’s important for lawyers to learn acting skills: The greatest skill of a trial lawyer is to transport the audience, and “you can't transport somebody else until you can transport yourself.” Ryan discusses key takeaways from TLU Skills Bootcamp in November, including the art of making eye contact with the jury. Borrowing from trial lawyer and former boxer Przemek Lubecki, Dan outlines the three “spheres of performance”: the conscious mind, the unconscious mind, and confidence. What a course on psychodrama taught Ryan about role-reversal and listening skills. Why Ryan swears by the skills he learns from TLU On Demand . Produced and Powered by LawPods…

Spencer Lucas – Pursuing Justice for Sexual Abuse Survivors, Securing $135 Million 1:28:58

Spencer Lucas learned three important lessons from legendary personal injury lawyer Brian Panish: preparation, aggressiveness, and authenticity. A partner at the firm Brian co-founded, Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP , Spencer put those lessons to work, with Brian, to secure $135 million for two survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Listen in as Spencer breaks down the case against the Moreno Valley Unified School District for host Dan Ambrose . In addition to describing hurdles that the team overcame, Spencer discusses spearheading the firm’s efforts to find justice for sexual abuse survivors in the wake of California’s Assembly Bill 218, which gives survivors the right to file claims that were otherwise time-barred.

Verdict number 1: $7 million. Verdict number 2: $101 million. Verdict number 3: $13.2 million. That’s how a recent 30-day run went for Kimball Jones and his team at Bighorn Law . While he’s proud of those accomplishments, and others, “It's the firm that we've put together – That’s gotta be the thing that I'm the most proud of.” Tune in with host Dan Ambrose as Kimball describes why he’s proud of the team, especially how they bolstered the recent cases. He will share more for TLU: on October 1, he’ll break down the case with the $13.2 million verdict, a challenging one because his client didn't seek treatment for the first time until two weeks after the crash that injured her. On October 14 for TLU, he’ll analyze a wrongful death car accident case that will have gone to trial just the prior week. Then, the following week at TLU Vegas , Kimball will offer two one-hour lectures: one about lessons learned along his journey and the other about strategies to overcome “gaps-in-care” cases like the one where he secured $13.2 million.

Robert S. Glassman ’s client was driving a motorcycle over the posted speed limit when a city truck cut in front of him from a side street. In the ensuing crash, the cyclist was injured. On this episode of Trial Lawyers University , hear how Robert presented the facts about his client’s speeding during jury selection to weed out jurors who didn’t think they could be impartial when deciding who was to blame for the accident. Robert also shares how he relied on the testimony of an expert witness to prove that – even if his client had been going the posted speed limit – the accident still would have occurred, and the injuries would have been the same. Ultimately, the jury found that Robert’s client was speeding, but that the city truck was to blame for the accident. The verdict: $11 million to Robert’s client.

How Robert’s concession that his client was speeding changed the mood during jury selection and resulted in striking 26 jurors. When speaking with jurors about how they feel about the client speeding, ask if they can be impartial while hearing the rest of the evidence. When potential jurors express their opinions, ask other jurors if they feel the same way. Why a plaintiff’s lawyer can’t go straight to the question of whether a juror can be impartial. How to thank the jurors for every opinion they express without becoming combative. When suing the government, ask prospective jurors if they worry that making big-verdict awards will increase taxes for everyone. How to transition from questions about taxes to caps for awards against a government entity. How Robert proved his client would have suffered the same injuries if he had driven the speed limit. How the jury concluded that the motorcycle driver was negligent for speeding, but that speeding did not cause the accident. Produced and Powered by LawPods…
