Connection and unity are key words that resonate with individuals that strive to find common ground with others. Sometimes the most talented individuals are the unassuming ones, as evidenced by the humble demeanor of an alum we sought out for the next episode of our On the Road segment, hosted by Dr. Brad Schultz and Amanda Price. This is Mustang's Unbridled and takes years of execution and a determined effort to become an expert in any field along the journey.

Life giving lessons are learned and shared with four decades of experience. Our guest today has become adept in his area of expertise. Greg Samuel, Class of 1978 alum, is a partner at Haynes Boone Law firm in Dallas, Texas. He specializes in corporate securities and mergers and acquisitions. Not only is he a talented lawyer, he's also a 2022 Mustang alumni award recipient.

00;01;01;08 - 00;01;21;01

We are joining Greg in his corporate office today. Thank you, Greg, for giving us this opportunity. So just like Julia Andrews in The Sound of Music, she sings the song Do-Re-Mi and she says the best place to start is at the very beginning. That's where we're going to start with you. So tell us. I know you started in the seventh grade at Lipscomb.

00;01;21;04 - 00;01;46;19
Unknown
How did you find your way to us? My father, who grew up in California, he wanted. He felt like Lipscomb gave me a better, better education than what I was getting in public school. Even though both my parents were products of public school. But. And I'm very thankful that he did. And so that's how I ended up at Lipscomb.

00;01;46;21 - 00;02;14;04
Unknown
And my brother. My little brother, too. We pulled the yearbook for when you graduated? Actually, all four years of high school and I found that you were active in both fine arts and athletics. So what is it about having a well balanced curriculum? What do you consider to be value in having academics, art and athletics all together for a child's education?

00;02;14;06 - 00;02;53;03
Unknown
It's a very good question that I don't think a lot of people focus on at the time. Looking back now, I'll be 64 in June. I'm thankful that I left my own devices. I wouldn't have. But the school shepherd me through exposure to the arts and music and again, things that I would have been just oblivious to. I was more focused on how my hair looked and then trying to learn how to read music and and other other aspects that are very important in life and to make you an interesting person more interesting than you would have been.

00;02;53;03 - 00;03;12;01
Unknown
Let me stop and say more interesting than I would have otherwise been. So there's an interesting phrase used in the overview of the high school course, and the author described after school parties for course, members and one of the parties was listed as a sham battle at Paul Netterville’s his house. Do you remember what a sham battle is?

00;03;12;01 - 00;03;36;14
Unknown
And sham battle? We don't know what it is. I have the most vague recollection, but it was it was really flour in bags that broke easily. And so we throw them at each other and it made a gigantic mess. David, his father taught at the university and it was out in the country and he you know, he was a good sport to it.

00;03;36;14 - 00;03;58;25
Unknown
But that's really as I recall, that's what it was, because I have again, you're going back 40 plus years, 45 years, whatever it is, it was an outside outside. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah, definitely. Well, you were a three year Letterman for varsity football. And like you just mentioned, 40 years ago, something big happened in 1975 that a lot of our listeners probably don't know about.

00;03;58;25 - 00;04;25;03
Unknown
As far as your football season is concerned, do you want to share some of your memories from that season? That was the best team of the three. I wasn't much of a contributor. I was too skinny. But but I was around some really great athletes. One of them I went back and saw just the other day, he went on to play baseball at Auburn and and I think he walked on the football team.

00;04;25;06 - 00;04;44;15
Unknown
But we had two very fine athletes and that year we did really well. I remember we went up and played the number one team in the state, team called Rockwood. That was that was much more intense than the low single-A football was at the time back in the day. Now it's I know the I watched it on ESPN.

00;04;44;15 - 00;05;05;08
Unknown
I think it's good grief now. It's a it's a whole far cry from what we were. But at the time, they they had done real well that year and in particularly, I think, against a good passer, which was always a big rival. So what title did you win with that season? I you know, I don't recall. State Championship.

00;05;05;08 - 00;05;23;21
Unknown
Oh, is that right? And it was in the Nashville Interscholastic League. Yes. Oh, that's great. I was asking Mark Pugh about it, who's been there for a sort of after your time, but he'd been there for 40 years and he said it was actually landmark because it had had not happened before and it was before the assembly began.

00;05;23;21 - 00;05;51;20
Unknown
So I see he was very proud that I was that we were good. Good. Well, I was my memory suffers just because I was not much of a contributor as a skinny sophomore. But you were a team player. So the yearbook included one word to describe the class of 1978. And it's unity. So thinking about that word and that class and those relationships seem to make that word the choice.

00;05;51;22 - 00;06;11;13
Unknown
Have you found that to be true beyond the years? Like, do you stay close? To some extent, yes, we do. I saw coming back from nationally the day I ran into one of my classmates in the airport. But I keep up with Bernie Ellis. I keep up with Jim Kay, Kevin Stinson. Mark Ezell was in my class. Judge Tim Easter.

00;06;11;13 - 00;06;37;14
Unknown
So all those guys just the other night. And my experience has been that most people don't have that type of camaraderie with their class. And we had a I think we had 121 in our graduating class. That helps because it was relatively small class, but I think much more important than the size was. A lot of us have a faith and because of that, I think there's a greater degree of trust with each other.

00;06;37;21 - 00;07;02;03
Unknown
It really helped keep us bonded over a long period of time. Because I look back, I went to Vanderbilt, I occasionally have a call with a friend or two from there, but that was a completely different environment and nothing in the law schools, wonderful place. And I met some really talented people, but there weren't a lot of folks that it was just.

00;07;02;06 - 00;07;30;26
Unknown
I grew up with the people of Lipscomb Academy from subsequent on, you know, well, it sounds like you're a really relational person, seeing how you've kept of these people 40 years after you graduated, almost 50 years, not including your friendships that you still have today. What are your fondest memories of Lipscomb? I think the time spent singing in chorus and some of the sports activities and and certainly the teachers.

00;07;30;26 - 00;07;53;02
Unknown
I had some wonderful teachers while I was there that were very unfortunate. They had a very formative time in my life. Who were those teachers? Oh, Miss Tracey was one in particular. Sharon. Tracey. I haven't seen her. Well, I saw at the the award ceremony briefly, but she's, you know, committed her career to Christian education. It's just wonderful.

00;07;53;04 - 00;08;20;16
Unknown
And she was fun and she got us involved in her too much eighth graders. God bless her. I mean, I can't imagine trying to teach through that age. Martha Rydell was very good at getting us ready for college and really stretching our minds because she was had a tough course. She taught advanced English and she's she was very good at and preparing everyone for us, for school, for college.

00;08;20;18 - 00;08;40;17
Unknown
That's a good leading question. So after the Academy with Abilene Christian and then to Vanderbilt Law School, as you mentioned, did you feel prepared leaving the academy to go into those environments and to do well, Candidly, I was prepared. It wasn't that it wasn't lives Kim's fault. It was probably my fault. I think I finished in a class of under 21.

00;08;40;17 - 00;09;03;13
Unknown
I finished in the top half. But honestly, I was not the I would listen. I'd go to school and I'd listen. But I wasn't the biggest studier. I was, you know, kind of girl crazy. And but it wasn't for lack of trying, let me say. Yeah, well, you obviously did well, so I believe in me, if I'm wrong, that you were focusing on accounting.

00;09;03;13 - 00;09;26;09
Unknown
I guess at one point in college. And so when did you switch over to law? I majored in accounting. I knew I wanted to be a transactional lawyer. My practice now is a regulatory practice in front of the Securities and Exchange Commission as a capital markets lawyer, which is IPOs and public M&A and some private mergers, acquisitions and private mergers acquisitions.

00;09;26;09 - 00;10;06;05
Unknown
So it's a it's a specialized practice in an arcane area of the law. So I knew my personality type was well-suited for being a litigator that you and there's a lot of confrontational constant you have some and what I do but not to the extent you have in in litigation. And so I, I was able to use my accounting to a degree, right in my practice, because a lot of what I do is not only just disclosure about companies, but understanding their financials and their financial position.

00;10;06;07 - 00;10;27;17
Unknown
How did you hone in on that? Like, did you have guidance along that? I'm sure from from someone or, you know, I don't I honestly, it's been so long, I don't recall it, but I knew that I think you could get a job if you had if you had an accounting degree. And actually, like, you know, I believe Lipscomb and Abilene do that real well.

00;10;27;17 - 00;10;50;20
Unknown
On placing their graduates in certain disciplines, most notably of which is in pre-med. But from the accounting side, I know that you can, you know, if you had down pencil up you can, you can do and you do well enough, you'll get a you can get a job with some of the accounting firms. Right. So you deal with entities whether they're bought, sold or traded.

00;10;50;20 - 00;11;13;26
Unknown
What's been the most interesting deal that you've had in your career? I think the Gaylord Entertainment IPO was a lot of fun for somebody from Nashville, Tennessee. And the irony of having to go to work in Dallas to get to work on that deal we represented at the time it was called First Boston, it became Credit Suisse and then it's now I forget what it is now, but it rolled into one of the big banks.

00;11;13;28 - 00;11;38;28
Unknown
But we were underwriters counsel on that transaction, and the deal was done in New York. But in the course of due diligence, I was able to fly up on Mr. Gaylord Jet from Dallas and then walk on stage during a performance, the Grand Ole Opry back. I didn't even realize it was back there, but there's some kind of a church row, that church pew that's up in the dark.

00;11;39;00 - 00;12;12;12
Unknown
And it was an afternoon performance. And I can't remember who was performing, but that was a thrill for me because that wouldn't have been an opportunity. I would have had had I just just been stayed in Nashville. And so I notice that you also you one of your specialties is fintech, virtual currency and blockchain. So I have a question about that since there's little, little regulation in it, is that an industry that's really challenging to navigate as far as legal, legally, Very much so.

00;12;12;14 - 00;12;49;29
Unknown
The big debate on which has recently been resolved is whether a Bitcoin and some of these currencies cryptocurrencies are in fact securities. And it turns out that if they are, which a court has recently ruled an important jurisdiction in the United States is real, they are then that implicates the U.S. securities laws. And if you look at the securities laws and here we go with a lot of you could have even criminal liability, but it puts an onus on the issue of those or on the seller, as the case may be, to disclose.

00;12;50;00 - 00;13;15;28
Unknown
Not only you can't just not why that's not enough. You have to come forth with the whole truth. And that's that's a big part of what I do. When you're securities lawyer is back to your original question. That is one of the things that is hard to navigate in that a lot of the folks in that industry are complaining the the commission has been too hard on them and hasn't been forthcoming enough.

00;13;16;04 - 00;13;36;04
Unknown
And I think that's getting ready to change. So you hear very often a movie star, Hey, I had this role and I passed on. It turns out to be a huge deal, right? I hear this all the time. And in movies. Thinking back in your career, has there been a deal or something come across that you said, Oh, let's don't let's don't go that way?

00;13;36;04 - 00;14;00;03
Unknown
You're like, Oh, man. Looking back, we should have stepped into that. I was a I was a third year and I got a call to help. It was a referral. But they said, But we don't have any money. We'd have to pay you in stock. And the co-founder of our firm and my mentor, Mike Boone, says stock doesn't pay the light bills.

00;14;00;06 - 00;14;22;17
Unknown
He he built the firm up from two to now 700 lawyers. So we pay. I went to the partners. I didn't have any authority. I wanted the partners and said, Hey, they're offering this plug, it shares it, we'll do the legal work. They said, you know, no thanks. They politely demurred. And then it turns out it was Broadcast.com, which Mark Cuban then sold to Yahoo!

00;14;22;17 - 00;14;52;08
Unknown
For, I think, 2 billion and didn't sell. And that was 2 billion back back in the days I went to be. It was worth something. Right? Exactly. Exactly. Oh, goodness. I think you've been an attorney for more than 35 years now, and you and your wife have four kids and seven grandchildren. Yes. Some great talent. So how have you with your career, how have you balanced home/life with your business?

00;14;52;10 - 00;15;17;26
Unknown
It's a it's a it's a good question. It's a it's been difficult. It's been very difficult. If I tell some of the folks around here, I don't know how anybody makes it if they're not, don't have a faith. I'm not in any way trying to say that I'm a righteous person. I aspire to be in a righteous person.

00;15;17;28 - 00;15;45;29
Unknown
But I do know that if I'm not in church on Sunday, it's not I'm not armed for the week. I'm not. So that that is the stress everybody's got to trust in their positions. I've chosen one that is is certainly fits that category in spades. It has been critical to me too, to have a faith and a loving family, of course.

00;15;46;02 - 00;16;12;19
Unknown
But first and foremost, the faith I can rely on. Well, we all want to have joy in our careers. We want to find fulfillment and purpose. Where have you found fulfillment? I enjoy you know, I kind of say it's over 35 years. It'll be like 30 or 40 years ago this summer, and I'll start my 30 start my 40th year in October, October 1st.

00;16;12;21 - 00;16;35;12
Unknown
Because I work in a very specialized area. I see a lot of the same issues and same deals over and over and over again. So that's not what gets me out of bed in the morning. What what motivates me is to and it sounds hokey, but to help people, a lot of the money that gets raised the most beautiful about this country is we have the ability because it's a country of laws, we have the ability to raise a lot of capital.

00;16;35;12 - 00;16;57;13
Unknown
Formation is a very important part of our economy because without it, you wouldn't you wouldn't have all these capital intensive businesses that America leads with. And so helping people realize when their business plans, their dreams is very fulfilling to me, even to you at at 64 years of age. Well, there's one last thing we didn't mention about what I found in the yearbook.

00;16;57;15 - 00;17;21;01
Unknown
You are a member of the Civitan Club, which is a service oriented club in your senior year at one Club of the year, and it specializes in community service to others. And I saw you have a long list of nonprofits that you work with in different capacities. I want to know why service is important to you. Well, you know, I was lucky to come up under Mike Boone.

00;17;21;03 - 00;17;46;14
Unknown
And Mike not only was my mentor in my same sex, and he's a securities lawyer like I am. Not only that, but he he always has been in his church. He was an elder in there. We both attend now. He's now retired, as was my father, but he was served on the board of Abilene Christian University. He served on the board of Pepperdine University.

00;17;46;14 - 00;18;15;08
Unknown
He's chairman of the board recently stepped down as chairman of the board of SMU. And he he and I early on, he got me involved in some project helping the local churches of Christ in Dallas County, incorporating they did, you know, a lot of them. There were some legal issues at the time and there was a that were arising in various churches across the country that was just part of what we did.

00;18;15;11 - 00;18;39;16
Unknown
He had me incorporate the city square of Dallas, which is now a gargantuan organization. Now, all I did was the legal work, but it now helps thousands of people throughout North Texas. And they've got a branch in Paris, which my daughter is now chairman of the board of that satellite. Then the big one here in Dallas, and there's one in Abilene, Texas.

00;18;39;16 - 00;19;07;26
Unknown
And so they help I particularly help fight poverty and help with health care and a number of very important things. So that's a rambling answer. But but it's really the people my father and Mike Boone, who really led me down the path of that's part of what you do. AS So when you're involved in the community. You mentioned earlier and again, it goes without saying there is a lot of stress surrounding this job.

00;19;07;26 - 00;19;29;28
Unknown
In this role. You mentioned your faith in Sundays, getting getting filled back up. Is there anything else you do that you just for fun, you enjoy? Like what your if you have a hobby, what is it? Do you. Well, you know, I don't golf. Golf. It's hard to justify when it when you know, being away when you've been gone all week or traveling.

00;19;30;00 - 00;19;52;29
Unknown
But I, I do try to exercise. You know, George Bush, the president always exercised and I thought, mercy, that's got it. And my father always wrote my case to Texas. And it's proved to be wonderful advice because without it, you know, you get you get outside, you get a perspective. And that's another one where it just you're better father, you're better husband, you're better everything.

00;19;52;29 - 00;20;14;19
Unknown
If you've if you can wear yourself out with exercise, we have come to our to the end of the podcast, but we always like to do a rapid fire interview where we can just shout random questions just to give us more of an insight to your personality. Sure. You ready? Ready? I'm ready. Okay, I'll start because I am curious about this.

00;20;14;21 - 00;20;42;24
Unknown
What is the difference between Dallas and Fort Worth? That's a good question. People that live in Fort Worth love Fort Worth. People live in Dallas, love Dallas. And there was a famously there was a mayor of Fort Worth who when he came over for a meeting in Dallas, would package lunch because he was not going to patronize any Dallas restaurant in Fort Worth, whose nickname is Cowtown, I think plays up a much more of a Western.

00;20;42;26 - 00;21;06;27
Unknown
And if you look at the topography maps right about here, it turns green to brown. If you've ever noticed, if you're looking at a map, they people in Fort Worth think Dallas folks and here's people big thing Dallas folks are too buttoned up, too uptight, too full of themselves trying to be something or not. And so there's a healthy rivalry.

00;21;06;29 - 00;21;31;22
Unknown
But what's funny is the two cities are quickly kind of holding together and some of the demographic projections are amazing. By the time of 2050, some people say Dallas Fort Worth will be the second largest metroplex in the U.S. The media say, well, we talked about on the way over here, we talked about Cowtown and is it tell us why it's called Cowtown.

00;21;31;25 - 00;21;58;22
Unknown
You know, the big stockyards for stockyards are famous. And so that's I think that's where that that started way, way, way back in the day. What type of music do you enjoy? I enjoy country music. I enjoy. But, you know, group text with a lot of my Lipscomb friends the other day on a group text, Debbie Lambert, Amy Hammer, you know these guys?

00;21;58;23 - 00;22;32;00
Unknown
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love Amy. I was. I had a crush on Amy in eighth grade at the back of Bob Dance class. And we talked. We didn't listen. We talked almost the entire class the entire semester. So we both graduated. And I have that happen. But I started tags to ask them. And Debbie Brinkley, if there was a song by Meatloaf and whether it was the most inane song in the history of music.

00;22;32;02 - 00;22;53;27
Unknown
And so there was started a debate that went on and on for about the next hour and a half. What was the song? Once, twice, three times. I'm never going to I'm never going to love you or whatever. Yeah, two out of three ain't bad. That's right. I want you. I need you. But I never going to. I think that's it.

00;22;53;29 - 00;23;21;17
Unknown
It just. Yeah, it was weak. And by the way, the lead singer from Meatloaf grew up church Christ four, so he really. Wow. As a Dwight Yoakam, I was like, Oh, I too. He has that really great voice. And I like those old videos. I me too. So when it's just you and Niki, do y'all prefer to go out to eat in a restaurant, or do you prefer takeout where you can go sit on the couch together?

00;23;21;18 - 00;23;44;06
Unknown
No, we we sometimes will do that. We're empty nesters, of course, but we enjoyed Dallas. I read somewhere at least this may be a little dated. Dallas has more restaurants per capita than any other major city, and so we're blessed to have a lot of fun restaurants around here that we go to. But we certainly, you know, we also run and she works very hard.

00;23;44;06 - 00;24;07;21
Unknown
She's got her own career. So a lot of times we just we make a run to the honeycomb, hide out or. Okay, what's that? No, I mean, Sally, that's an old seventies ad for Honeycomb Cereal. Yeah, we'll we'll have a we'll have some breakfast cereal. I'll be happy as a clam. So. Yeah. So that's good. Yeah. Do you have a nonprofit organization that you work closely with?

00;24;07;28 - 00;24;43;13
Unknown
I just got off of the Christian Care Center, which was a series of three campuses. We ended up selling to a private entity that was the campus in north of town, West Town and over in Fort Worth. But it was started by originally to help retired church Christ ministers that had, you know, back in the forties and fifties, I think when it started maybe earlier and it evolved into senior care facilities for and memory care facilities for those folks lately making.

00;24;43;13 - 00;25;11;22
Unknown
I've been involved with the Dallas West Church of Christ and they have they give out food every second and fourth Tuesdays. I put a sign, I think as I told the minister there, Sammy Berry, I think it's the most scriptural ministry I know of. The sign says Church Christ free food. And the line starts before the sunrise and it runs at least a mile.

00;25;11;29 - 00;25;35;25
Unknown
People know the line up and they come through in their cars and they're able to receive. And the congregation's a small congregation, but it's it's it's located in a place that's particularly well-suited to meeting the needs of that community. So you mentioned that Dallas is a metropolitan city and that Fort Worth thinks when you're buttoned up here, do you have a favorite museum?

00;25;35;28 - 00;26;06;23
Unknown
Because I think there are a lot of them here. The best art museum is over there. The Kimball Art Museum is renowned and they get wonderful pieces. And Niki, my wife had her own art gallery at one time. And so she's taught me a lot about art. I've still got a long, long way to go, but the kennel gets wonderful pieces, very famous pieces, and the Dallas Museum of Art, we went about six months ago and it was very nice.

00;26;06;26 - 00;26;29;16
Unknown
But it doesn't it's not to that level. And a lot of that is the Bass's a very prominent family over in Fort Worth area. Do you have a professional team that you enjoy following? You know, I grew up on the Cowboys. My father went to before we moved to Nashville in third grade. He was in seminary here and over in Fort Worth.

00;26;29;16 - 00;26;55;14
Unknown
We lived in port, so I grew up on the Cowboys. But it's not it's not as much as I used to. Yeah, I. I'm mildly interested in the predators in the yard. Yeah, but, uh, did you follow Troy Aikman? Yes. I really was a fan of Troy, and I think he's a he's a good guy. Where do you go to relax and get away from work?

00;26;55;17 - 00;27;25;12
Unknown
I bought a I at one time, had a water private water ski like that with two other buddies. But, you know, it's we ended up selling it because we got older. It's harder to you know water ski into it is and so and the guys Yeah that's right and they caught the kids all they enjoyed it when they were going through high school and I used to drive them and they're buddies but now we just go for walks and did not have particularly fancy.

00;27;25;14 - 00;27;54;11
Unknown
Do you ever find time to make yourself unreachable? I, I aspire to that. That's very, very, very hard to do. I'm sure I thought I was in the service business and especially with big oil.
