Many think that vaccine mandate litigation only includes quacks as plaintiffs and attorneys. Like employment and personal injury attorneys, those who represent anti-vaxxers are painted with a broad brush, often negative. But our guest today doesn’t neatly fit into a box. Scott Street is a credible litigator with a successful history in high-stakes litigation (we worked on a 100M case together); we were in the same law class at Loyola Law School and have been active in democratic politics for years. But he has been at the forefront of the fight against vaccine mandates and other related litigation. In this episode of LawFlip, we discuss why. We discuss vaccine mandates, how the Covid vaccine compares to other vaccines, how hypocritical politicians on both sides have been, and we each give our take on the Russia/Ukraine crisis.

This episode introduces venture-backed tech entrepreneur Maddy Sukoru who built Groupshop. We discuss his journey from AT&T Technician to creating a group buying platform for merchants that caught the attention of 3 venture capital firms that invested in him because he is tenacious and incredibly resourceful. We talk about tech startups, how he is "unemployable" and how lawyers have played a role in his growth. For the past several years, primarily due to a long-time friend Dee Murthy, I have and continue to surround myself with people I respect and admire (and mostly non-attorneys). Maddy is one of those people--I also used this as an opportunity to pick Maddy's brain about my own startup LawFlip.  If you want to be inspired to try the thing you have always wanted and take some risk, check out this episode!Support the show
