Sports 'N Torts

Episode 99 of Sports ‘N Torts is a special one! Parag Shah – CEO of Miles Mediation and Arbitration – issued a challenged. If we could raise $10,000 to support Side by Side Clubhouse he would come on the podcast and shave his head live! Well, thanks to all of your generosity we raised over $25,000!! Amazing. The donations came in from two camps: the Snip Squad (those who wanted to shave Parag’s hair) and the Lock Lovers (those who wanted to save Parag’s hair). In the end, both camps raised over $10,000 so we were left with no choice but to take the issue to Judge Hydrick from the Superior Court of Dekalb County for a ruling on who win’s … Judge Hydrick issued an Order in favor of the Snip Squad so Parag’s head was shaved live on the podcast! Chris the Barber put Parag in the chair and gave him a nice clean shave. Parag has been growing his hair since 2019 so this was an epic and emotional event. We even hear from Parag's wife as she watches his beautiful hair being cut off.

Charity and charitable giving is a big part of Parag’s life. As a lawyer, judge and TV personality, Parag talks about his background and rising to the CEO of Miles. He discusses the business, their mission, and their charitable arm – Miles for Smiles. Parag discusses when, why and how Side by Side became important to him and the ways in which he participates with their members.

Side by Side Clubhouse (www.sidebysideclubhouse.org) is the only work-oriented day program in Georgia that specifically supports adults with brain injuries and their families. Their Executive Director, Josh Blackmon, joined the podcast to talk about his background, what brought him to Side by Side, the mission of the organization and how they will put the funds raised to good use. We even heard from the “Mayor of Side By Side” JR Copeland about his story and how Side by Side saved his life.

There are some parts of the podcast that dont come through great but you can see the live video on the “Joshua Stein” Facebook page and also on the J. Stein Law Firm You Tube Page. It’s a great watch if I say so myself. What a memorable episode for a great cause!
