Listen "11: TikTok FAMOUS™️ @Tommythelawyer Shoots From the Hip"
Episode Synopsis
In this hard-hitting episode of the TikTok FAMOUS™️ Podcast, host Meredyth Willits sits down with trial attorney and viral truth-teller Tom Bosworth—aka @tommythelawyer—to talk about the intersection of law, health, safety, and social media. With a calm voice and a courtroom edge, Tom’s content is known for unflinchingly exposing the real dangers behind everyday products, procedures, and corporate corner-cutting. From button batteries to broken healthcare systems, Roundup to reckless regulation, he’s not here to scare you—he’s here to inform you. Together, they dive into: ✅ Why U.S. regulations are far weaker than most of the developed world ✅ How social media became the new courtroom for public awareness ✅ The deadly truth behind common household items (like water beads and toy batteries) ✅ What really happens when companies value profit over people ✅ The essential questions you must ask at your next doctor’s visit They also break down how Tom’s personal story led to his mission, why punitive damages matter, and how “dumb ways to die” are often more preventable than we think. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re being told the whole story when it comes to your health, safety, or consumer rights—this episode is your wake-up call. 🎧 Tune in to hear how Tom is: ✨ Demystifying medical malpractice and mass torts ✨ Making legal info accessible to everyone—not just the elite ✨ Building a firm that fights for families, not corporations ✨ Using social media to protect the public from preventable harm — 00:00 Introduction to the TikTok FAMOUS™️ Podcast 01:00 Meet Tom Bosworth: the lawyer who made litigation go viral 03:30 From first TikTok post to 40,000 views—how it all began 05:00 Regulations, rollbacks, and what the public doesn't realize 08:30 America's food and safety crisis vs. global standards 11:30 What happens when your doctor isn’t telling you everything 14:00 Growing up next to a poisoned river—and now representing the victims 17:30 Jury trials as the last line of defense 20:00 Why most politicians won’t protect you—but trial lawyers can 23:30 How punitive damages really work (and if they even matter) 27:00 Who holds companies accountable when the EPA won’t? 29:30 How Tom screens his legal team to avoid apathy 32:30 Button batteries, water beads, and real threats to kids 36:00 The illusion of safety and what’s missing in recalls 38:00 Devices, drugs, and side effects that no one tells you about 41:30 Asking your doctor the right questions—before it’s too late 45:00 Navigating ego, intelligence, and communication in healthcare 48:00 Tom’s personal reason for entering this line of law 51:00 Breaking the ambulance chaser stigma 53:00 Helping clients across the country—yes, even in your state 56:00 Why TikTok is a threat to the status quo 58:00 Final thoughts: live your life—but know the risks — 🔗 Connect with Tom Bosworth: TikTok: @tommythelawyer Instagram: @lawyertombosworth Website: tombosworthlaw.com — 🎙 Stay Connected with Meredyth Willits: Facebook: Meredyth Willits Instagram: @meredyth_willits TikTok: @meredyth_with_a_why Youtube: TikTok Famous™️ Podcast | Meredyth With a Why — 👉 Love what you heard?
