Episode Snapshot

  • Sach's multi-generational ranching heritage began with his great-great-grandfather's homesteaded property; in 2009, he and his wife started the Oliver Angus Ranch in Rogers, Arkansas.
  • His new 1,750-acre ranch in Missouri will feature two rivers, multiple caves, a train bridge, and will include five authentic log cabins housing 60-80 guests, a glass chapel, and a 55,000-square-foot indoor arena.
  • Sach’s “Depositions Are Trial” workshops will be held at the Missouri ranch starting in November 2027. 
  • Before “Depositions Are Trial” relocates to Missouri, it will be held at the Arkansas ranch from March 3-7, 2026.
  • At TLU Beach, June 3-6, 2026, Sach will present on best practices for managing money.
  • Sach explains the foundational lessons about money laid by his grandparents: "They had a very strict, regimented cashflow methodology.”
  • Sach’s accolades include serving as president of the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association (2022-2023) and being named Outstanding Young Trial Lawyer (2008) and Outstanding Trial Lawyer (2015).
  • Sach's father modernized the family's financial methodology by leveraging positive cashflow assets to buy more assets, keeping 6-12 months overhead in cash and paying off highest interest debts first.
