Episode Summary

In this episode, Partner at Zelle LLP, Steve Badger, talks about disasters, disputes, and Darth Vader. Steve holds a BS in Economics from the University of Utah and a JD from South Texas College of Law.

Steve and Jack talk about the lack of training in the field, the lump sum, what appraisals are supposed to look like, proving bad faith, the problem of licensing, making parking lot deals, and Steve being Darth Vader, all on today's episode of Because Experience Matters.

Key Takeaways

  • "We should put qualified people out in the field on both sides."
  • "We've got to think about appraisal as a way to ensure that we can resolve a dispute amicably and avoid litigation."
  • "If there's a reasonable dispute, there is not bad faith."
  • "Just because we are on the other side of each other professionally doesn't mean we can't be friends personally."
  • "Play the long game. You don't have to win the storm on every claim."
  • "Develop relationships on the other side, be reasonable, and you're going to do okay in the long run. This business isn't going away."

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
