What if the things you think are ordinary about your life are exactly what make you extraordinary?

In this month's episode of Art of Purpose, Kenny sits down with Ricardo Echeverria, partner at Shernoff Bidart Echeverria LLP. Ricardo is one of the most respected trial attorneys in the country, a CAALA Hall of Fame inductee, a member of the invitation-only Inner Circle of Advocates, and a multiple-time Trial Lawyer of the Year.

But before the trials and verdicts, there was the dairy farm. Ricardo grew up working alongside his immigrant parents on their family dairy farm, first in Corona and then in Chino.

He was supposed to come home from studying at Cal Poly and run a dairy of his own. Instead, he made one of the hardest phone calls of his life and told his parents he was going to law school.

In this conversation, Ricardo shares how his father left Spain at 17 with nothing and built a dairy farm alongside his brothers, and how both of his parents shaped the work ethic and attention to detail he still relies on as a trial attorney today. He opens up about the phone call where he told his father he wasn't coming home to run the dairy. That call ended with a surprising second phone call that changed everything.

Ricardo also talks about winning a $1.8 million verdict at 27, losing his next seven trials, and why he believes you have to hate losing without ever being afraid of it. He explains why trying a case is a lot like directing a movie, and why he goes out of his way to make jurors who speak English as a second language feel valued. And he shares the story of a young boy named Dylan, along with the reason his favorite part of any trial will always be what the result means for his client and their loved ones.

This conversation is about more than becoming an attorney. It's about family, humility, grit, and the truth that the life you've lived may be preparing you to change someone else's life.

He calls his lifetime achievement award a "halftime" award. Tune in to find out why he's just getting started.

If you could erase the most painful chapter of your life, would you?

In this month's episode of Art of Purpose, Kenny sits down with Danny Abir, managing partner of ACTS Law, one of California's largest plaintiff-only litigation firms, with more than 150 attorneys and staff and over $1 billion recovered for clients.

At 16, during the Iran-Iraq War, Danny said goodbye to his father, was placed in the care of a man he had never met, and traveled through the night with smugglers toward Pakistan before eventually making his way to the United States. Separated from his immediate family, he skipped his last two years of high school, worked full-time through college, and built a career in law, finance, and taxation. Danny opens up about the entrepreneurial instincts he had even as a kid in Iran, betting on himself to open his own practice, helping grow another plaintiff firm, and the setback in his 40s that forced him to start over.

Danny also shares what he's learned about the difference between confidence and recklessness, why every great team is built on people working in their strengths, and the mindset that has carried him through every season: whatever happens, I'll figure it out.

This conversation is about more than building a law firm. It is about resilience, risk, family, and learning to see your story differently. When Danny looks back at the hardest chapters of his life, he says he wouldn't change a single one, because every one of them led him to where he is today.

In this month's episode of Art of Purpose, Kenny sits down with Puneet Toor, founder and principal attorney of Toor Law, P.C., a woman-led civil litigation firm representing clients in employment law, personal injury, product defects, and business litigation.

Puneet opens up about growing up as a first-generation Punjabi Sikh American in the Inland Empire, tracing her resilience back to grandparents who survived the Partition of India and parents who arrived in the U.S. with two kids and $500.

She shares how a childhood car accident with no way to hold anyone accountable quietly shaped her empathy years before she became an attorney, why failing the bar exam became one of the most defining moments of her life, and how a chance conversation at a happy hour changed the direction of her legal career.

This conversation is about more than becoming an attorney. It is about immigrant resilience and redirection, building a firm rooted in family and culture instead of profit, and creating space for women in an area of law that has rarely made room for them.

Puneet's story is a reminder that inheritance isn't only what's handed down in money or belongings. Sometimes it's resilience, passed from one generation to the next, until it becomes yours to carry forward.
