What happens when an estate planning expert who doesn’t believe in dinosaurs analyzes Jurassic Park? We’re about to find out as we spare no expense exploring the most quoted movie in the 82 Toothpicks office.

Welcome… to Jurassic Park! In this episode, we discuss how John Hammond’s dream of a dinosaur theme park is a masterclass in the ambition and potential pitfalls of creating a lasting legacy. We break down the chaos that ensues when a vision isn’t supported by a solid plan, touching on themes of liability, corporate espionage, and the life-changing events that trigger the need for sound estate planning. Is Hammond’s vision a brilliant attempt at leaving a mark on the world, or a cautionary tale about what happens when you’re so preoccupied with whether you could, you don’t stop to think if you should?

Join us as we explore:

🦖 John Hammond’s “spare no expense” philosophy and its impact on his family’s future.

🧬 The ethical debate over science, creation, and the responsibilities that come with it.

🐍 A terrifying (and hilarious) real-life snake encounter that felt straight out of a movie scene.
