You've seen the bazillion billboards along the interstate: "Been injured in an accident? Call (insert law firm name here) and win!" They're plaintiff attorneys; specialists in personal injury law. You get hurt, somebody else pays--namely insurance companies and corporations. It's a huge business, and like most business sectors in the world, technology is leading the way helping these law firms research and acquire vital information to build cases against these companies, and to help litigators determine if a potential case is even worth taking.

To attain this data used to take an incredible investment of time and money with no guarantee the investment would return a profitable outcome for the injured client and the attorney representing them.

But two companies are fast out of the gate building up this data/A.I. technology and bringing it to civil litigation law firms everywhere.

I speak with Ryan Shin, founder of SETTLIT, a case intelligence platform based in Toronto, Canada, and Jay Sarmaz, CEO and co-founder of TRUVE, an A.I. powered analytics company in Atlanta, Georgia.

DATA is the currency in growing a business. Listen and learn from this episode--especially if you're a personal injury lawyer looking for an edge against formidable insurance companies and corporations.

I've got some news I want to share with you...

Jack Davenport opened a diner in south-central Los Angeles specializing in home-style soul food back in 1969 near the intersection of Western Ave. and what is today, Martin Luther King Blvd.

Because he wanted to make it a family business, he named the diner Jack's Family Kitchen.

Well, life throws you curves, and Jack's marriage didn't work out. Luckily for him, a woman named LaFay owned a hair salon right around the corner from Jack's, and he spent the next ten years pursuing her. Fay finally said yes but kept her business and built it into the largest hair salon in Los Angeles with a fancy Wilshire Ave. address.

After Jack passed away in 2012 (and thirty years of marriage to Fay), Fay honored Jack's wishes to keep the popular diner open at all costs--and it hasn't always been easy.

Fay, who is coming up on her 80th birthday, offers her thoughts and insights on a host of topics including:

*Working hard to keep the doors open for the benefit of employees, their families, and the south-central community as a whole.

* Race relations in America.

*Reparations.

*Bad hair.

*A rooster-crowing customer who's in love with her.

*Personal responsibility.

*Her relationship with God.

*Her hope for Jack's and the south-central L.A. community.

I think you'll find Fay Davenport a breath of fresh air; a woman with valuable life experience and a healthy dose of postive-can-do-it attitude.
