Carrying Miss Daisy Louise - Chad Ruback
When your guest shows up in a white top hat and jokingly calls himself “the fun appellate lawyer,” you know you’re in for a great conversation.
For our 40th episode, we’re raising a mug to Chad Ruback — appellate attorney, on-air legal commentator, and all-around class act who somehow balances professionalism with a sharp sense of humor.
Chad shares his path from his family’s jewelry business in Kansas City to building a respected solo appellate practice in Texas. Along the way, he’s learned that showing up — with curiosity, consistency, and the occasional top hat — can take you a long way in both law and life.
He’s thoughtful, funny, and the kind of person who remembers everyone’s name and story — a rare gift in any profession.
And we couldn’t share this episode without a nod to Daisy Louise, Chad’s beloved dog who made frequent cameos and left an even bigger mark. She’s gone now, but her presence (and her timing) live on in our hearts — and this episode. 🐾
So grab your favorite brew and join us for this light-hearted episode — a conversation with the appellate lawyer who proves you can be serious about the law without taking yourself too seriously.
