This conversation was recorded on August 8th, 2024. I met Chase at his most recent birthday party and he is a jovial and life-giving lawyer, as well as a pinball enthusiast. We had a lovely time sharing stories and experiences and I was inspired by his desire to learn.
Here is his official work bio:
Chase Hardy is a Texan through and through.
Chase understands that a journey through our judicial system can be intimidating. The fear of the unknown can creep into every crevice of a person’s life. This is why Chase has dedicated his life to understanding the intricate and nuanced workings of our judicial system. A continual thirst for knowledge and years of traditional schooling has crafted Chase into a truly zealous advocate for everyone he represents. He believes deeply in the wisdom of the jury and is proud to take a case to verdict.
A San Antonio Native, Chase began his primary education in the community of Castle Hills. He studied Finance at Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he was heavily involved in student life. Chase stayed in Waco for his legal studies and attended Baylor University School of Law. Chase contributed to the law school’s advocacy programs by competing on multiple Mock Trial and Moot Court teams in competitions across the nation.
As a law student, Chase spent his summers clerking for two prominent San Antonio Plaintiff’s and Defense firms and had the honor of working with Justice Patricia O Alvarez of the Fourth Court of Appeals. After receiving his provisional license Chase began practicing law at the age of 23. By the time he turned 25 Chase had successfully first-chaired a civil trial to verdict. Chase was hired as an Associate Attorney with GRIFFIN PURNELL LLC in 2021.
While outside of the courtroom, Chase enjoys working on his family ranch in Boerne, Texas.

Isaac's music; be it with Pomegranates, or on his own, has been speaking to my soul since I was sixteen! I feel so fortunate to have grown up listening to his music and move from a fan to a friend. When I was paralyzed right before my nineteenth birthday, he sent me a mixtape of some songs he had not yet released and it was so special.

This conversation is an honor to share! Recorded in March of 2018, this is the first OIMC conversation recorded outside of the United States. I had just been invited to move to Texas for a new job and one of my sister's had recently moved to Honduras with her husband and three children, as missionaries.

In 2023 they will be moving back to Honduras and I hope I'm able to add a subsequent episode with Kelita and my brother-in-law Ben; explaining the unique adventure and learning they've experienced through all of this.

Patrick Farris is a local San Antonio poet and he also co-hosts the Imaginary Toads podcast. I've wanted to record a conversation with Patrick since I first met him and we finally made it happen. He was the first new conversation of 2022 and it was such a delight to speak with and learn from him! Enjoy!
This episode was recorded in the Spring of 2018. I met Bentli at Craig Hospital in Denver, Colorado; the spinal cord and/or brain injury rehabilitation hospital. I was there originally in 2013 to learn how to live in a wheelchair. I am forever grateful for the grace they added to such a life-changing event, the staff and new friends. If you ever break your back, consider Craig Hospital. I don’t know where Bentli is now and I hope we are able to reconnect and record an update soon. Enjoy!
This conversation was recorded on December 1st, 2021. Jerid is a local songwriter and musician in San Antonio. He has played and toured with a number of bands and I had such a great time learning more about him and his story. Listen to his band El Campo here: https://elcampotheband.bandcamp.com/
This conversation is another recorded in 2017. I met Rick while I was working a part time job for Bath Fitter. I was sitting at a bath tub display at the Iowa State Fair and he and his wife wandered through. They had the most welcoming demeanor and I was able to get Rick's number. We later scheduled a phone interview and this episode holds our conversation. I was so encouraged by Rick and so grateful for his willingness to speak with me, having no real idea who I was. What a gift!
This conversation was recorded in early November of 2017. It was the first year of OIMC on the radio and the first conversation I was able to record with my very dear friend, Jordan Fash.
This conversation was recorded on November 9th, 2021. I met John in San Antonio and he's become a dear friend. I'm so grateful he reached out to share a discussion!

This episode was recorded as the introductory portion of the 250th radio broadcast of Oops I Missed Church. It aired on Halloween of 2021. Most future episodes will include conversations originally heard on the radio.
