    140: Reinventing Criminal Defense Training: From Classroom to Courtroom with Adam Rossen
    Jul 14 2025

    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley is joined by Adam Rossen, a criminal defense attorney who’s doing more than building a successful firm, he’s reinventing criminal defense training for the next generation of lawyers.

    Adam’s firm has quadrupled since 2020, yet his passion is mentoring future attorneys. His Florida-based internship program, once a casual drop-in setup, has evolved into a structured, immersive model for reinventing criminal defense training. In 2020, he took on 13 interns, introducing a mock law school exam project, virtual court sessions, and Zoom depositions. He later added a speaker series, a book club exploring criminal justice issues, and field trips to meet judges, giving interns real-world exposure. This action-driven approach, grounded in community responsibility, has transformed his program and amplified his firm’s mission.

    Adam reflects on pivotal moments from his career, from his time as a prosecutor to the values he instills in his team today. He shows how reinventing criminal defense training connects to growing a business and serving the community. By mentoring students and immersing them in criminal law, he’s building a stronger, more compassionate legal profession.

    Whether you’re looking to launch an internship program or refine your leadership, this episode offers practical ideas for reinventing criminal defense training. Discover how Adam’s approach can elevate your firm, your team, and your impact on the legal world.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Adam Rossen’s journey in scaling his criminal defense firm fourfold and building a purpose-driven practice.
    • The development and impact of Adam’s structured legal internship program, offering real-world legal experiences to students.

  • 139: Too Stupid to Quit: Dre Baldwin on Resilience, Success, and Outworking the Competition

    139: Too Stupid to Quit: Dre Baldwin on Resilience, Success, and Outworking the Competition
    Jul 7 2025
    On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley welcomes Dre Baldwin, former professional basketball player, prolific author, and founder of Work on Your Game Inc. Dre shares how his career was shaped not just on the court, but at home, where his parents modeled daily discipline and quiet resilience that made him “too stupid to quit.” From an early age, Dre watched his parents show up for their responsibilities, day in and day out, regardless of how they felt. That consistency became the foundation of his own mindset: showing up was non-negotiable. It’s a lesson he carried into his athletic career and beyond. When he didn’t get drafted into the NBA, Dre pivoted. He found another path—one that required just as much discipline, and just as much resilience. Rather than see setbacks as failures, Dre treated them as invitations to grow. He began documenting his process and sharing videos online—before content creation was even a buzzword. As he continued to show up, his audience grew. His approach resonated not just with athletes, but with entrepreneurs, business professionals, and attorneys—anyone striving for consistency in the face of pressure. In this episode, Dre shares how he built a global platform rooted in daily execution and mental discipline. He talks about how a professional mindset—distinct from an amateur one—is the key to long-term results. Dre also introduces key ideas from his latest book, The Third Day, where he breaks down how to keep showing up when motivation runs dry. If you’ve ever felt burned out, unmotivated, or unsure how to push through, this episode is a must-listen. Dre Baldwin’s Work on Your Game philosophy is a reminder that success isn’t a moment—it’s a practice. In this episode, you will hear: Dre Baldwin’s transition from professional basketball player to influential content creator and coach Insights into the distinction between amateur and professional mindsets The role of resilience and creativity in overcoming challenges and achieving success The concept of “The Third Day” and its importance for consistent persistence and professional commitment The application of sports discipline and resilience to everyday life and professional settings The importance of personal development and using setbacks as opportunities for growth Dre’s approach to content creation and engaging with a diverse audience beyond sports Catch Dre Baldwin live at this year’s Summit! Dre will take the Atticus Summit stage as a keynote speaker with Work on Your Game: Apply the Pro Athlete Mindset at Work & in Life.
