ACC St. Louis invites you to a special evening "ON FIRE: Ignite a Radically Inspired Life" with John O'Leary, St. Louis Bestselling Author and Inspirational Speaker, at the Missouri Botanical Garden on Tuesday, July 22nd.

John’s incredible journey from surviving a devastating fire at the age of nine to become a beacon of hope and purpose has inspired millions worldwide. In his bestselling book On Fire - soon to be a major motion picture.  John shares powerful stories of resilience, courage, and the extraordinary potential that exists within us all.

What would our day, impact and output look like if we lived a radically inspired life, every single day? Living radically inspired means you learn from past mistakes, rise above challenges, and thrive no matter the circumstances.

In this talk, John:

•  Will share the critical truth that “inflection points” - moments in timethat change everything that follows - occur daily.

•  Will empower audiences through mighty examples that life has far less to do with what happens to us, and much more to do with how were spond.

•  Will use key questions to explore the difference between a victim and victor mindset, sharing tactics for how to apply them in ways that can catalyze transformational growth in life and in our organizations.

Join us for this insightful and interactive roundtable discussion over lunch on agency action challenges during the current administration.

Last year, when the Supreme Court overruled the Chevron standard in Loper Bright and made it easier to seek relief against government agencies, it looked like a new day in administrative law. With the second Trump administration, much of the focus has been on the authority of the president to act by executive order. Nevertheless, agencies will be acting through rulemaking, and whether courts are willing to give any deference to agency interpretations of statutes will be a critical part of any litigation. In this presentation, Epstein Becker Green will provide an overview of the theories employed in lawsuits that have been filed against the executive branch since January 20, 2025, and will discuss legal strategies that companies can employ when injured by executive branch action.

Speakers explore the following:
•    The implications of overturning Chevron deference and the effect of that reversal on administrative law and agency interpretation of ambiguous statutes
•    The scope of presidential authority exercised through executive orders under the current administration
•    Actionable legal strategies for companies to protect their interests and manage risks arising from executive branch decisions or rulemaking efforts

AI tools are becoming more prevalent in the legal profession, and have the potential to improve how lawyers deliver legal services. But the use of AI tools also comes with risks, including generative AI's well-documented propensity to hallucinate or to introduce or exacerbate existing bias, and introduces potential ethical concerns in the legal profession.
