About the Co-Host
Mr. Murphy is completely fictional… or is he? As a lawyer, saboteur, and mischief-maker, Mr. Murphy (of the law firm Murphy, Murphy, and Murphy) has been a frequent visitor to the podcast since episode #1.
Best known for Murphy’s Law — A Definitive Guide to Wrecking Everything, Mr. Murphy is a big believer in whatever can go wrong, will go wrong, with a particular enjoyment of having it happen at the worst possible time, and in the worst possible sequence.
As a co-host of the Merchants of Dirt Podcast, Mr. Murphy serves as a constant reminder to always Murphy-proof your planning by trying to think like Mr. Murphy and beat him at his own game.
When not wrecking plans, timing, schedules, profit margins, and trails, Mr. Murphy enjoys collecting vintage hand-grenades, mountain bike chain links, headlamp batteries, compasses, sunglasses and spending time with Bad Luck, his good hunting dog.
