Deserve to Win (EP.42) INSANE LAW CONFERENCE OF CHAMPIONS IV BREAKDOWN!!!

Deserve to Win (EP.41) with Spartan CEO Joe De Sena - WINNING, LOSING, and the DEATHRACE

In this episode of Deserve to Win, the Czar sits down with Joe De Sena, CEO of Spartan, for a conversation about winning, losing, discipline, resilience, and what it really takes to build something that lasts. Joe’s story is not just about obstacle course racing. It is about choosing hard things on purpose — and using those challenges to build strength, character, and a mindset that carries into business, leadership, health, and life. From the origins of the Death Race to the growth of Spartan into a global movement, Joe explains why discomfort is often the thing people need most, even when it is the thing they avoid. And that impact is not theoretical. Spartan has changed the lives of countless people who have stepped onto the course and discovered what they are capable of. Even inside our own office, Puja Amin is a huge Spartan fan and participant — proof that Joe’s mission reaches far beyond the race itself. It inspires real people to push harder, live stronger, and earn the win. Joe also opens up about the brutal challenges Spartan faced during COVID, how close the brand came to losing everything, and how perseverance, discipline, and belief helped bring the company back. This episode is a perfect lead-in to Joe’s keynote appearance at Law Conference of Champions IV and a reminder of what Deserve to Win is all about: success is not handed out. It is earned. Listen now and get ready to do hard things.

Deserve to Win (Ep.37) Super Bowl Winner and NFL Coach Ron Rivera Chats Cal Football! (Woah)

Well folks this is our biggest podcast episode yet and the place where Deserve to Win podcast moves from the biggest guests in TCPAWorld to just the biggest guests in the world period. Ron Rivera-- a member of the Super Bowl winning '85 Chicago Bears and longtime NFL coach-- joins Deserve to Win Ep. 37 to discuss what it takes to WIN at the highest level. Coach Rivera has recently returned to Cal Berkeley-- where he played linebacker during his incredible college football play days-- and is serving as the GM. He brings a mental and physical toughness and incredible experience and WISDOM that jumps right out at you during the interview. As Puja said when the interview ended "We really need Coach around here." I took that personally, but I still loved the interview. :) Coach Rivera walks through his incredible playing and coaching career and then we talk about the wonderful Cal Golden Bears football team. He acknowledges some challenges-- the new NIL world is tricky to navigate-- but given how POWERFUL California is as a state, the incredible beauty of the Berkeley Memorial Coliseum, and Cal's status as the number one public institution IN THE WORLD, it seems obvious to both of us we can turn this program into a MONSTER WINNER.  You definitely want to absorb every little nuance of this discussion. Probably one you'll want to watch twice.  Before we get there the INCREDIBLE team (Puja, Tori and Brit!) break down all of the BIGGEST developments in the TCPAWorld. First, we discuss Troutman Amin, LLP's MASSIVE win in Clark v. Spark Energy. Thanks to the incredible compliance efforts of Spark Energy, we were able to defeat certification of a major TCPA class action suit and you really need to hear about this one. Second, we discuss the latest on the FCC's big NPRM that may change the TCPAWorld completely! Third, we break down the incredible escape act in Mitchell v. Toyota of Dallas. This dealership looked dead in the water in a TCPA class action-- but they wiggled out of it based on re-consent issues! Fourth, we discuss the split of authority on whether SMS messages are covered by the TCPA's DNC rules. Big split. Very interesting and important issue. Fifth, we close off discussing another big TCPA class action victory for a defendant-- this time Circle K! The win in Aboud v. Circle K might be the biggest TCPA ruling of the year for retailers. It establishes a transactional EBR is created anytime a purchase is made with a retailer-- which really expands the ability of these companies to contact consumers! All right folks I hope you enjoy this! I know you will.  In the meantime, TIME IS RUNNING OUT!! Troutman Amin, LLP's rates rise January 1, 2026! Retain us now and save tens of thousands! (Like NOW though because I am going to be out of the office most of December!)

Deserve to Win (Ep. 36) TCPAWorld Crew w/ Kimmel & Silverman's Jacob Ginsburg!!

Well, the latest edition of Deserve to Win is out and it is one of the biggest, juiciest episodes yet. The team breaks down several major developments including: * A court refusing to enforce Safeway's arbitration provision (what does it mean for you?); * A court confirming trolls can't sue you for calls they request; * Another #biglaw [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/biglaw] #bigloss [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bigloss]-- this time on the definition of "called party"; and * That HUGE ruling holding SMS messages are not subject to DNC rules. Then we get to the MAJOR interview with Kimmel & Silverman frontman Jacob Ginsburg. Jake is a hardworking, quiet, behind-the-scenes type. He speaks slowly and deliberately but is incredibly honest and forthcoming about his approach to litigating TCPA suits. The guy has handled hundreds of these cases and continues to pursue TCPA suits that many other plaintiff's lawyers are not interested in. We also dive into the details of an INSANE single-plaintiff case that has been litigated for nearly five years. There's no end in sight for the case and Jake explains how he got himself into a very unprofitable mess. It all adds up to a major podcast experience and one that none of you will want to miss!
