Being a lawyer is one of the most high-pressure jobs in the world, but it should not come at the expense of your health or your family. In this episode, hosts Bob Bianchi and Dave Bruno sit down with Texas litigator Marco Flores to discuss how to navigate the hard seasons of life and law with a healthy mindset. Marco shares his personal story of how the stress of starting a firm led to a physical health crisis and how he used that adversity to build a better way of living.

We explore why law school fails to teach us how to actually live as lawyers and why optimizing your wellness is the missing infrastructure for long-term success. You will learn about the false bargain many professionals make, the power of time blocking using the Covey quadrants, and how to create specific identities that help you show up as the best version of yourself for your clients and your loved ones. We also redefine what toughness really means in the modern legal landscape, moving away from the old-school mentality of burnout toward a smarter, more sustainable toughness. 🎙

Ever wondered what it is like to sit just three feet away from a convicted murderer and look them in the eye? In this episode of Nothing But the Truth, hosts Bob Bianchi and Dave Bruno sit down with veteran investigative journalist David Scott to discuss his award winning series, Interview with a Killer. David Scott shares his unique experiences from the front lines of true crime journalism, having won a Peabody and 14 Emmy awards for his work. He discusses the intense psychological preparation required to interview death row inmates and the chilling reality of what happens when the cameras start rolling inside a supermax prison. Throughout the conversation, the group explores the fine line between forensic psychology and hardball journalism. David explains how he attempts to break through the spin and manipulation of some of the most dangerous individuals in the country.

From discussing the logistics of prison security to the emotional impact on victims families, this episode provides a deep dive into the darkest aspects of the human mind. Key topics include the reality of life inside high security facilities, the difference between crimes of passion and senseless overkill, and why understanding the antagonist is crucial for the justice system. David also provides recommendations for where to start with his series and what he has learned about humanity after 20 episodes of facing killers.
