How does Kendall's competitive nature influence his legal practice?
How are things in Orlando?
It's interesting. You know, Florida is Florida. Yeah. when it comes to certain things, Florida tends to lead the country in, you know, I like to call it being the Florida man. So I get to deal with a lot of that, a lot of problems, a lot of people getting arrested for all kinds of different things, the kind of stories I've seen. It's interesting.
Gosh, Rudy's going to get mad at me for saying this. I'd love to work with you because I'd love to figure out a way to grab all your stories and use it as a way to market what you do and get folks to go, What's this Danny story? Who got him out of that noise? Holy moly. I had to work with this guy. Absolutely.
What is the importance of company culture in Kendall's law firm?
Crazy stories, especially as a Floridian.
Yeah. And, you know, you know, we once had a case where, you know, it's kind of it's really sad where, you know, kid kills his mother, young kid, you know, 15 years old. But I didn't represent him. He had some mental health problems. I represented the friend that he called to help him cover it up. Oh, wow. Which, you know, that that was, you know, just some interesting things going on with that. But we were able to help that kid out. He didn't really know what was going on. He's just a young friend trying to help out a friend. Yeah, he wasn't an accomplice. He wasn't.
No, that's what do you think a lot of these deranged ideas come from? Is it just really mental health?

Or I don't want to talk about like specifics, but I'm like. You hear a lot of crazy stories and it goes beyond what's in the Florida water. It's a lot what's happening on your phones, what you're being exposed to across all ages.
Absolutely. I feel as though we've gotten as a culture where, you know, everybody's stuck to these phones and they're just being, you know, downloading whatever they're downloading into their brains. And there's I've found that a lot of people don't stop and think for themselves.
