Welcome to The Elliott Caldwell Podcast on Successful DNA—the show where driven individuals break down the habits, experiences, and mindset behind building something real. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or someone chasing that next level, this podcast uncovers what it actually takes to turn an idea into momentum.

Christian Pipas is the founder of Pipas Law, a Florida personal injury firm that went from working out of a townhouse to handling roughly 800 cases a year. Alongside him is Cole White, an attorney whose life changed forever at 18—when a rope swing accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. In this episode, they unpack what it really means to turn adversity into fuel, how mindset can define outcomes more than circumstances, and why hard work is “subjective” unless you’re constantly pushing past what’s required.

Cole walks through the moment everything changed five days before graduation—life flight, ICU, rehab, and the brutal mental shift that followed once the early support faded. He shares how independence became his turning point: adapting his truck, returning to classes one step at a time, and ultimately earning his degree and going to law school. Christian breaks down the early days of starting his own firm with almost no money, staying focused on personal injury instead of “easy money” practice areas, and what it takes to scale from a handful of clients to a real operation.

They also get into the real-world side of personal injury: why insurance feels like a rigged system, how medical costs get inflated, and the most common mistakes people make after accidents—especially settling too early, gaps in treatment, and posting dumb things on social media that can destroy a case.

If you’re a business owner, investor, or just someone trying to protect yourself and your family, this episode is packed with hard truths about coverage, risk, and how to think long-term.
