    • Ep 198: From Undrafted to Super Bowl Champion to Entrepreneur: Andrew Adams on Recovery, Mindset & Building Pro Level Recovery Featuring Heather Froy
      Feb 18 2026

      What does it take to go from undrafted free agent… to Super Bowl champion… to successful healthcare entrepreneur?

      In this episode of Sports ’N Torts, Joshua Stein sits down with former NFL safety Andrew Adams, Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and founder of Pro Level Recovery, alongside respected Georgia workers’ compensation attorney Heather Froy.

      Andrew shares the gritty reality of making an NFL roster as an undrafted player, what it was like winning a Super Bowl during the COVID season, and the mindset that separates elite performers from everyone else.

      Then the conversation shifts to life after football — how Andrew transitioned into business, acquired and rebranded his father’s physical therapy practice, and built a one-stop injury recovery center that serves both athletes and everyday injured clients.

      Heather brings the legal perspective, discussing credibility, compliance, surveillance, and why quality medical care can make or break an injury case.

      This episode is about more than football. It’s about preparation. Recovery. Discipline. Belief. And being where your feet are.

    • Ep 197: Billboards to Boardroom and Lawyer to CEO: How Luis Virguez Built a Scalable Law Firm
      Feb 10 2026

      In this episode of Sports ’N Torts, Joshua Stein sits down with Luis Virguez, founder of Virguez Law, for a wide-ranging conversation on entrepreneurship, marketing, leadership, and what it really takes to build a scalable law firm.

      Luis shares his journey from immigrating to the U.S. from Venezuela at age nine, to betting on himself after law school during the 2008 recession, to building a multi-office firm with nearly 50 employees across personal injury, workers’ compensation, and immigration law. Along the way, he explains why he intentionally stepped away from practicing law to focus on management, client acquisition, and—his favorite part of the business—client intake.

      The conversation dives deep into billboard advertising (including one of Atlanta’s most recognizable I-285 placements), modern law firm marketing, hiring and leadership lessons, and why human connection still matters more than automation. The episode wraps with candid sports talk on college football, baseball, and the World Baseball Classic—classic Sports ’N Torts style.

      This is a must-listen for law firm owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about how real law firms grow behind the scenes.

    • Ep 196:What the PGA Tour Is Really Like with Pro Golfer Jay Delsing: The Grind, the Glory, and Lessons for Parents of Young Athletes
      Feb 3 2026

      This episode of Sports ’N Torts marks a milestone for the show as host Joshua Stein welcomes his first-ever PGA Tour golfer, Jay Delsing, for a wide-ranging and unforgettable conversation about life inside the ropes of professional golf.

      Jay spent more than three decades competing at the highest level, playing in over 500 PGA Tour events and grinding it out week after week against the best players in the world. In this candid discussion, Jay pulls back the curtain on what tour life was really like—before private jets, entourages, and fitness trailers became the norm.

      From growing up with limited resources in St. Louis to caddying his way into the game, Jay shares how golf became his path forward. He recounts surreal moments like playing Bel-Air Country Club with Sean Connery, being introduced to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, getting corrected by Arnold Palmer for wearing a hat indoors, and making a hole-in-one at the famed TPC Scottsdale 16th hole amid a deafening stadium crowd.

      The conversation also dives into Jay’s transition after competitive golf—into broadcasting, podcasting, and writing his acclaimed memoir You Wouldn’t Believe Me If I Told You. Along the way, he offers timeless insights on confidence, mental toughness, putting under pressure (including a legendary stretch where he putted with his eyes closed), and how golf uniquely prepares young people for life.

      For golf fans, parents, and anyone fascinated by elite performance, this episode is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at professional golf from someone who lived it—and lived to tell some incredible stories.
