How does a criminal defense attorney end up transforming the background screening industry? In this special 40th episode, I take a turn in the guest seat to share my unexpected journey—from representing clients in the courtroom to founding Employment Screening Resources and writing one of the earliest FCRA compliance manuals. Along the way, I learned that doing things right isn't just good law—it's good business. If you've ever wondered how passion, persistence, and a little bit of legal curiosity can shape an entire field, this episode pulls back the curtain. This one’s personal—and you won’t want to miss it.
