From Baseball Diamonds to Courtrooms: Former U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton on Investigations, and Cartels

In this episode of Tales of Abundance, Dr. John Oberg and Randy Lorenz sit down with former U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, who went from chasing a dream of playing professional baseball with teammates like Roger Clemens to prosecuting high-stakes cases against cartels, gangs, and white-collar criminals.

We explore Sutton’s fascinating career journey—from winning a national championship at the University of Texas, to trial by fire in the Harris County DA’s office, to tackling cartel operations as U.S. Attorney. Along the way, Sutton shares how to become a better investigator, why keeping an open mind matters, and how to process today’s overwhelming flow of information.
