48 Years. 100% Plaintiff. He Changed Texas Law Twice. | EU 148 with Lennon Wright

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Lennon Wright, a Houston personal injury attorney who has been practicing law for 48 years — 100% on the plaintiff side, never once defending an insurance company. Board certified in personal injury trial law since 1982, AV rated since 1984, and a magna cum laude graduate of the University of Houston Law Center, Lennon has built a career around cases other attorneys say can't be won. He has twice changed Texas law in favor of injured victims — a distinction held by almost no one practicing today. We go inside the cases that took 8, 12, and 15 years to resolve, the one deposition question that unlocked a recovery everyone said didn't exist, the critical difference between admitted and non-admitted insurance carriers that most lawyers never think to look for, and what 48 years of plaintiff-only work has taught him about perseverance, the Texas Supreme Court, and why he's never once been tempted to switch sides. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ Appeal and Agent Liability [05:35] ➡️ Insurance Code Deep Dive [12:12] ➡️ Texas Courts and PI Shifts [15:38] ➡️ How He Chooses Cases [25:25] ➡️ Changing Law and Medical Bills [26:57] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅Visit Lennon's website – lennoncwright.com ✅ Email Lennon directly – lennon@lennoncwright.com ✅ Call Lennon's office – 713-654-7878 ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/lennon-wright ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

When You're Gone It's Done. She Learned That the Hard Way. | EU 147 with Rashonner Lillie

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Rashonner Lillie, founding partner of Reveal Wealth Strategies and one of a small group of financial advisors in the country approved by the NFLPA to work with current and former NFL players. Rashonner has been advising clients for 21 years, across three offices in Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta, with a team of eight advisors. She didn't arrive here through a textbook career path — she watched both of her parents get sick and pass away in their 50s, and saw firsthand the estate planning mistakes, missing life insurance policies, and beneficiary errors that families face when they haven't planned properly. That experience became the engine of her practice. We get into why AI will never be able to replace a financial advisor who knows your subjective life variables — your mom moving in, your credit card debt, your vacation home dreams. We talk about the tax changes from the Big Beautiful Bill and what they mean for your retirement. We go inside the life insurance story she has never forgotten — a client in her 30s who wanted to cancel her policy and passed away at 38-39 with a young child who is now protected. And we talk about the hardest conversation she ever had to have with a family that was draining every cent they owned caring for an aging parent. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ Estate Planning Lessons [05:35] ➡️ Athletes vs Everyone [11:12] ➡️ AI Advisor Myth [13:49] ➡️ Questions Clients Miss [18:00] ➡️ Team Based Planning Value [27:57] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Email Rashonner directly – rashonner.lillie@amfp.com ✅ Connect on LinkedIn – Rashonner Lillie ✅ Connect on Facebook – Reveal Wealth Strategies ✅ Call Rashonner's business line – 832-371-3656 ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/rashonner-lillie ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

Most Lawyers Stop at the Insurance. He Finds the Manufacturer. | EU 146 with Chuck Ward

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Chuck Ward, a solo practitioner based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with 21 years of experience and a practice that spans criminal defense, personal injury, and products liability. Chuck comes from a multi-generational Louisiana legal and political dynasty — his great-grandfather was a lawyer, both of his uncles were lawyers, one a state senator and one a district attorney, and four of his grandfather's grandchildren are lawyers. What shaped him most wasn't the credentials — it was watching that family use a law license to help real people. We get into the case that crystallized everything: a nine-year-old boy paralyzed from the waist down, a $15,000 insurance policy, and every lawyer he'd seen telling the family there was nothing more to be done. Chuck dug in anyway. We talk about why trying criminal cases in Louisiana — where there are no depositions and you hear witnesses cold in real time — makes him almost untouchable in civil court. We talk about the black box inside every car on the road right now. We talk about why the best expert network in the country matters more than anything else in a products liability case. And we talk about why the pro-insurance lobby chipping away at litigant rights year after year is the most dangerous evolution in personal injury law. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ Law and Public Service Roots [04:07] ➡️ Why Criminal Defense Matters [12:32] ➡️ How He Evaluates New Cases [20:28] ➡️ When Cases Become Product Liability [24:28] ➡️ Choosing and Protecting Experts [31:59] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Chuck's website – https://www.samuelcward.com ✅ Call Chuck directly – 225-330-6677 ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/chuck-ward ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

She Worked for Liberty Mutual. Now She Fights Against Them. | EU 145 with Rose Harper

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Rose Harper, founder of Rose Harper Law, a personal injury attorney serving clients across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Rose spent years on the inside — defending businesses at national insurance defense firms and trying jury cases every single day in the Bronx Supreme Court as in-house counsel at Liberty Mutual. Then life redirected her: a move to Ohio for her husband's career, a new baby during COVID, and nearly three years as a stay-at-home mom. When she came back to law, she came back on the other side. Rose built her practice almost entirely on personal referrals with zero advertising — backed by a social media team, 5,600+ LinkedIn connections, and a bilingual practice in English and Spanish. We get into why the insurance company calling you first is a red flag, how she takes cases other firms rejected by getting into the real story behind every client, what her Liberty Mutual experience tells her about how the other side thinks, and why she has genuinely never heard of the word losing. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ Early Money Habits [04:18] ➡️ Retirement Mindset Shift [09:48] ➡️ Behavioral Coaching Edge [14:58] ➡️ Comprehensive Planning Funnel [26:03] ➡️ Discovery Questions That Matter [30:25] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Rose's website – https://www.roseharperlaw.com ✅ Connect with Rose on LinkedIn – Rose Harper ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/rose-harper ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

He Invests Thousands in Your Case Before You Pay Him a Cent | EU 144 with Jonathan Rosenfeld

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Jonathan Rosenfeld, founder and managing attorney of Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers in Chicago — a personal injury attorney with over 25 years of experience who has built his entire career around representing the most vulnerable members of society. Jonathan studied journalism at Lehigh University before stumbling into torts class at Chicago-Kent College of Law and realizing for the first time he didn't feel like the dumbest person in the room. He talks about why he left corporate law off the table from day one, what he learned from journalism that makes him a better trial attorney today, and why his process starts with thousands of dollars of investigation before he ever commits to a case — before a client pays him a cent. We get into the hotel case where his lawsuit forced an entire chain to background check every employee. We talk about what it really means to believe wholeheartedly in a case, why he gives clients his personal cell phone, and why his 10-year vision isn't a number — it's three words: fair, honest, hardworking. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ From Journalism To Law [02:18] ➡️ Complex Cases And Impact [15:35] ➡️ Trauma Trust And Empathy [21:28] ➡️ Enduring Brutal Cases [31:23] ➡️ Long Term Success Mindset [34:26] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Jonathan's website – https://www.rosenfeldinjurylaw.com ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/jonathan-rosenfeld ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

Pro Soccer Player. Defense Insider. $100M Trial Lawyer. | EU 143 with Pedro Krompecher

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Pedro Krompecher, managing partner of Krompecher Law Firm in Raleigh, North Carolina — the attorney known to his community as Abogado Pedro. Pedro played professional soccer in Belgium, nearly dropped out of law school, spent close to a decade defending hospitals, nursing homes, and large corporations, and built one of the most effective plaintiff trial practices in the Carolinas. We get into what the defense side actually teaches you about winning on the plaintiff side. We talk about his three-dot rule — why plaintiff lawyers who connect twelve dots lose, and plaintiff lawyers who connect three win. We break down the double fatality case he settled on a Thursday before Monday trial by uncovering a buried sensor report showing 170 harsh driving events the defense never saw coming. We talk about what it actually takes to be a plaintiff trial lawyer — risk appetite, competitiveness, a chip on your shoulder — and why most successful trial lawyers were serious athletes. And Pedro shares the one thing about himself that you would never expect from someone who stands in front of juries for a living. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ Defense Side Lessons [07:22] ➡️ Plaintiff vs Defense Strategy [16:19] ➡️ Expert Gaps Exposed [24:20] ➡️ Risk Competitive Mindset [36:49] ➡️ Client Acquisition Playbook [46:49] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Pedro's English website – https://www.krompecherlaw.com ✅ Visit Pedro's Spanish website – https://www.abogadopedro.com ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/pedro-krompecher ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

Deny, Defend, Delay: A Former Insider Exposes the Insurance Playbook | EU 142 with Jordan Jewkes

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Jordan Jewkes, founder and managing attorney of the Jewkes Firm in South Atlanta, Georgia. Jordan spent the early years of his legal career on the inside — working for some of the largest insurance companies in the world, sitting in strategy meetings, and learning exactly how insurers think, operate, and minimize claims. Then his moral compass pointed him in a different direction. Now he uses everything he learned against them. We get into the three Ds — deny, defend, delay — and the fourth D nobody talks about. We talk about what happens when a jury of 12 people in a conservative Georgia county listens to a human story and delivers a $1.9 million verdict. We talk about why most injured clients don't want to litigate — they want to be heard. And Jordan shares why his mom says his superpower is being kind to people, and why that's turned out to be the most powerful tool in his courtroom. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ From Defense to Plaintiff Work [01:55] ➡️ People Over Profits [11:44] ➡️ Insurance Playbook Three Ds [15:52] ➡️ Life Changing Client Win [25:00] ➡️ Lessons After Two Decades [34:26] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Jordan's website – https://www.jewkesfirm.com ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/jordan-jewkes ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

Why 80% of Financial Planning Has Nothing to Do With Money | EU 141 with Sam Vande Weerd

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Sam Vande Weerd, managing partner and wealth advisor at Carson Wealth in Pella, Iowa, to dig into what financial planning actually looks like when it's done right. We talk about why 80% of what Sam does has nothing to do with money, his Ten-Ten-Eighty framework that he's never seen fail, the question most advisors never ask — "who do you want your money to bless?" — and why dying with the most money doesn't make you the winner. Sam also shares two client stories that completely redefine what a financial plan really is, including one that had a client coming up to him in tears at Christmas. Plus we get into needs, wants, and wishes, long-term care as a love letter to your children, and why there is only one way to retire — but multiple ways for your kids to pay for college. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ Early Money Habits [04:18] ➡️ Retirement Mindset Shift [09:48] ➡️ Behavioral Coaching Edge [14:58] ➡️ Comprehensive Planning Funnel [26:03] ➡️ Discovery Questions That Matter [30:25] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Sam's website – https://www.carsonwealth.com/pella ✅ Call Sam directly – (641) 780-5239 ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/sam-vande-weerd ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

The Financial Questions Divorcing Women Must Answer — Before It's Too Late | EU 140 with Chris Chen

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Chris Chen from insightfinancialstrategists.com to explore what financial planning actually looks like when life falls apart. We talk about why regular financial planning is about applying the rules — and divorce financial planning is about applying the exceptions, how Chris went from economics dreams and a tech career to building a fee-only advisory practice dedicated entirely to women navigating divorce, and why most women wish they had found him before the divorce even started. I also share insights on the three financial questions every divorcing woman must answer, why wanting to keep the house is often the worst financial decision, and what knowledge truly does for someone in the middle of an emotional maelstrom. Plus, we get into RSUs, stock options, the 401k exception almost no one knows about, and why we're not in the money business at all — we're in the people business. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ Niche Divorce For Women [07:20] ➡️ Why Divorce Planning [09:46] ➡️ Common Post Divorce Mistakes [16:01] ➡️ Divorce Settlement Pitfalls [28:04] ➡️ Finding Clients Online [37:40] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Chris's website – https://insightfinancialstrategists.com ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog – https://joelerway.com/experts-unleashed/b/chris-chen ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?

Why Your $2 Million Retirement Isn't Really $2 Million | EU 139 with Jay Duffy

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Jay Duffy from framewealth.com to unpack what honest, advice-driven financial planning actually looks like. We talk about why most financial advisors are only paid when they sell you something, how Jay's parents' relationship with debt shaped his entire philosophy about money, and why that $2 million retirement account may actually only be worth $1.4 million after taxes. I also share insights on the three types of return every investor should know, why tax diversification matters more than rate of return, and the life-changing story of a plumbing family that redefined how Jay thinks about this work. Plus, we get into required minimum distributions, Roth vs. traditional timing, and what it means to be your client's personal CFO. 💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER ➡️ Money Mindset Origins [02:55] ➡️ Why Tax Planning Became Focus [09:59] ➡️ Retirement Tax Diversification [14:41] ➡️ Roth and RMD Pitfalls [19:12] ➡️ Case Study Insurance Saves Business [24:51] …And much more! 🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Jay's website – https://framewealth.com ✅ For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog. ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at https://getinspired.app/ ✅ Join our free Facebook group, Million Dollar Course Marketers – https://www.facebook.com/groups/milliondollarcourses ✅ Want the playbook for launching and growing your own course for $2,000 or more?
