S4E1 Tom Chase – Attorney, Mediator, Storyteller, Comedian and Poet



🎙 Season 4 begins with laughter, reflection, and storytelling.

The delightful Tom Chase joined us on the Pine Island Experience Podcast for a conversation filled with humor, heart, and insight. Tom shares the moment he first discovered the power of making people laugh, stories from growing up in Plant City, Florida, and how those early experiences shaped a life that would include law, mediation, comedy, storytelling, and poetry.

Along the way, Tom also treats us to readings from his poetry — offering a thoughtful glimpse into another side of his creative life.

“Even as a kid, I didn’t like seeing people get treated unfairly. If no one was going to say something about it, I was.”Thomas C. Chase
