As hurricane season approaches, the anxiety and anticipation build, especially for those living in hurricane-prone areas like the Gulf Coast. In this episode of Overruled, David Vicknair and Brad Scott swap real-life hurricane stories, from the chaos of Katrina and Ida to childhood memories of boarded-up windows, last-minute evacuations, and the eerie silence after the storm.

You’ll hear how a client’s office was salvaged with flashlights and National Guard escorts, how families turned evacuations into impromptu vacations (or life pivots), and why power outages, not the storm itself, are what make many people say, “Never again.” 

We also want to reflect on the resilience of Louisiana communities and the unexpected moments of generosity that show up when the grid goes down.

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:
