Here's what you'll learn: Why toughness means producing even when the conditions are working against you How to identify the real constraints holding back your energy, focus, and performance What it takes to build resilience through sleep, strength training, and smarter recovery Stop chasing every new protocol.

Your edge is not how hard you push. It is how fast you recover, reset, and get back on track. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill break down the difference between discipline and rigidity, burnout and misallocated energy, and rest and weakness. From missed workouts and cheat meals to draining team members and recovery as a competitive advantage, this AMMA is a blunt reminder that high performance is not about being perfect. It is about knowing what costs you energy, what restores it, and what you refuse to tolerate. Here's what you'll learn: Why getting off track only matters if you cannot get back on track How to identify the work, people, and habits that drain your energy What it takes to make recovery a competitive advantage instead of a guilty pleasure You do not need to be perfect to stay disciplined. You just need the discipline to come back stronger the next day.

Myth: Leaders need to be balanced. Fact: Together, you and your team can be balanced. In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals why the dream team isn't about perfection in individuals, but about creating collective balance through diversity of skills, passion, and perspective. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede dig into high-level strategy for building a team where everyone's strengths thrive and the leader's vision multiplies. Key takeaways:  A balanced team is built on diverse strengths—no single leader can or should do it all alone. Exceptional leaders replace assumptions with curiosity, listening and learning from their team before leading.  The most successful teams are intentionally shaped through shared values, growth, and a genuine commitment to multiplying each other's impact. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the What Your Dream Team Should Look Like Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.

The only way to build the next big thing is to stop trying to copy the last one. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with David Vonderhaar, studio lead at Bullet Farm and former studio design director for the Call of Duty franchise, to unpack what it really takes to innovate in a world obsessed with replication. From navigating harsh feedback from passionate audiences to building a studio from the ground up after two decades inside a billion-dollar franchise, David shares the mindset, courage, and conviction required to do things on your own terms. This is a conversation about originality, resilience, and the cost of choosing the harder path. Here's what you'll learn: Why true breakthroughs come from being original, not from copying what's already working How to keep teams engaged under pressure without burning them out What it takes to bet on yourself when walking away from a sure thing If you want to build something that lasts, you have to be willing to build it before anyone else believes in it.

At what point does believing in someone's potential stop being leadership and start being a liability? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer three listener questions about one of the hardest tensions in leadership: the gap between what you see in your people and what they actually deliver. They walk through how to handle a high-talent, low-output team member, how to recognize when a long-tenured leader has plateaued, and whether the popular idea of "unlimited potential" actually holds up. Believing in your team is valuable, but does it replace standards and results? Here's what you'll learn: Why potential without performance becomes a liability, and how to set objective criteria before emotion drives the decision How to know when a team member has hit their ceiling and what to do about it without losing empathy Why "unlimited potential" is a myth, and what a leader can actually be responsible for You can want it for them all day long. If they don't want it for themselves, nothing you do will matter.

Where is your finish line? Trick question—your growth doesn't need to have one. In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals how to cultivate a forward-focused mindset that unleashes continual development and lasting impact.  After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson provide practical strategies to help you step out of the past and anticipate a future filled with possibility!  Key takeaways: — Finish lines are self-imposed—when you decide you're done, you limit your future; growth and contribution continue as long as you focus forward. — What you focus on expands: holding on to regret or past failures keeps you stuck, but embracing gratitude and learning unlocks new potential. — True fulfillment comes not from personal success, but from shifting to significance—using your achievements to add value to others and pioneer new possibilities.  Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Better Days Are Ahead of You Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.

What happens when strong leaders slowly stop speaking?In this reflective solo episode, Dr. Darrin Peppard explores the hidden cost of compliance-based leadership cultures and the long-term impact they can have on trust, alignment, and organizational health.Drawing from personal leadership experiences, conversations with leaders around the country, and John Maxwell's “Law of the Lid,” Darrin unpacks what happens when high-capacity leaders find themselves working in environments driven more by control and compliance than collaboration and alignment.This episode is not about criticizing leaders. It's about understanding how organizational cultures develop, why strong leaders sometimes disengage quietly, and how intentional alignment work can help teams rebuild trust and move forward together.In this episode, Darrin discusses:The difference between compliance-based and alignment-based leadershipJohn Maxwell's “Law of the Lid” and how it impacts organizationsWhy strong leaders often become quieter instead of combativeThe emotional and cultural impact of low-trust leadership environmentsHow political behavior and silence slowly erode healthy cultureWhy leadership alignment matters more than forced complianceThe importance of creating trust, contribution, and shared ownershipHow leaders can still positively influence culture within their sphereKey Takeaways:Compliance may create short-term control, but alignment creates long-term health.Silence inside leadership teams is often a warning sign, not a sign of agreement.Healthy organizations allow honest dialogue, healthy tension, and contribution.Leadership culture outlives individual leaders—for better or worse.Alignment work is intentional work.SponsorThis episode is sponsored by HeyTutor.HeyTutor partners with schools and districts nationwide to provide evidence-based high-dosage tutoring support in Math and ELA while helping schools remain intentional about staff capacity and student support systems.Learn more here: HeyTutor

The fastest way to destroy a great firm is to let standards slip while you scale. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Sam Pond, founder and managing partner of Pond Lehocky Giordano, to break down what it really takes to build a high-performing law firm without losing what made it great in the first place.

“Send Coach John a message”For my last pre-recorded, post surgery episode (hopefully), I'm leaning on a legend.  John C. Maxwell (@TheJohnCMaxwell) is someone that has been around for a very long time. I remember for most of my life knowing who this guy is and finding my way to being connected to his teachings. This one is a gem that he shares with us today. “The only guarantee that tomorrow is going to be better than today is that you're growing right now.”  Let this clip sink in a bit. Listen to it a couple of times. In our growth during tough times, we have the choice of learning from those moments, in order for us to have a better tomorrow. This is something that I know I need to do more of - especially during my recovery from my surgery. Not easy times right now. Painful times right now. But I know I'm getting better from what I had to go through. This lesson I need to keep leaning on, stay connected to, because I know there will be other tough times to get through and to learn from as I'm going through them. You know what??  The same goes for you. The same goes for everyone. We just need to remember this for our moments of tough times so that we can grow from what we learn about going through them.  Here's to better tomorrows. Everyone around us gets better when we grow!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Your firm does not change when you learn more. It changes when you actually execute. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill call out the pattern behind "staying motivated" while making zero real change, then lay out how to turn insights into traction. From a simple hourly discipline habit to a blunt breakdown of filtering advice and finding the right seat, this episode reinforces a core truth about performance: standards are built through action, not consumption. If you have been collecting frameworks while avoiding implementation, this will reset your focus. Here's what you'll learn: Why collecting information can feel productive while actually keeping you stuck, and how to break the pattern. How to filter contradictory advice so you stop second-guessing and start making clean decisions. What it takes to choose the right seat in business so you stop forcing a role that creates constant friction. Want the results? Then start moving like the person who earns them.

How do you know if you're truly adding value to those around you, or just going through the motions? In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals the five essential questions every leader should ask to elevate their influence and impact. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede dive into their strategies for weaving these value-adding principles into your everyday leadership. Key takeaways:  Before you can add value to others, you must recognize and develop the unique value you bring to the table.  Valuing what you do—and the people you serve—is the foundation for authentic influence and sustained growth.  Leaders multiply their impact by continuously growing themselves and intentionally focusing on what is best for others, not just them.

Elite performance is not a personality trait. It is biology, managed intentionally. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Kristen Holmes, Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, to talk about what health tracking should actually do for you. They break down how to use wearable data without getting trapped in day-to-day noise, why sleep consistency beats chasing perfect sleep duration, and how recovery drives the capacity you need for clear thinking, stable energy, and better decisions. If you want the upside of high output without the crash that usually follows, this conversation gives you the framework. Here's what you'll learn: How to read your data in a way that supports better decisions, not more second-guessing What a strong baseline looks like across HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and VO2 max A simple starting point to stabilize sleep and recovery before you chase optimization If you want to perform like an outlier, start living like your biology matters.

Is your current environment helping your dreams grow, or is it quietly keeping them stuck? This week on the Empowerment Minutes Podcast, we continue our blooming theme with Bloom in the Right Environment: What Your Next Season Needs to Grow. So many people want their dreams to grow. They want peace, clarity, stronger leadership, and a new season, but they overlook the role environment plays in supporting what is trying to bloom. Dreams do not grow in just any environment. They need the right conditions. In this episode, we discuss John Maxwell's Law of the Environment, which states that growth thrives in conducive surroundings. We explore why your environment matters, how it shapes your energy, your thinking, and your habits, and how to make one intentional shift to help create the kind of soil your dreams need in this next season. Tune in on your favorite podcast platform and take one step toward creating the kind of environment your dreams and growth need.

¿Un líder nace o se construye? En este episodio vas a descubrir las señales reales que separan a alguien que inspira… de alguien que solo aparenta. Hablamos de confianza, coherencia, ego y decisiones que definen tu impacto en otros. Si querés liderar mejor (o dejar de seguir a quien no suma) este episodio te va a hacer replantear todo.00:00 Comienzo 00:46 ¿Quién fue tu primera inspiración como líder?01:45 ¿Alguna experiencia que refleje ese liderazgo?02:23 ¿Qué hace que una persona genere confianza y sea seguida?03:19 ¿Hay señales de alerta para no seguir a un líder?04:11 ¿Alguna vez te desilusionaste de alguien?05:48 ¿Qué valor es innegociable en un líder?06:04 ¿Te inspira más el logro o el cómo?06:55 ¿Qué parámetros medís para seguir a alguien entre tanto ruido?Abrazá un propósito. ¡Desafía al mundo e inspirá a otros!Recordá que si querés enviarnos tus preguntas, consultas o sugerencias podés hacerlo a podcast@emprendeconproposito.com.arTambién podés seguirnos en las otras redes:Web: emprendeconproposito.com.ar IG: @sebasosaemprende @somosecp  YT: Emprende con propósito (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtx_YSTTLzddsBX2lOLhYbw) TikTok: @somosecp (https://www.tiktok.com/@somosecp)Te dejo un resumen del podcast: ¿Quiénes fueron tu primeros líderes?Desde chico, una de las primeras imágenes que tuve fue Jesús, por las historias de cómo formaba equipos y guiaba a otros. Más adelante apareció Mandela, sobre todo cuando viajé a Sudáfrica y entendí el impacto real de su liderazgo. Mi padre también fue una gran referencia: tenía la capacidad de movilizar a otros, de impulsarlos a hacer cosas que parecían imposibles. Con el tiempo entendí que eso era liderar: influir, abrir caminos y ayudar a otros a ver más allá de sus propios límites.¿Alguna experiencia que refleje ese liderazgo?Sí, muchas veces vi cómo ideas que parecían imposibles se convertían en realidad, como ayudar a personas con adicciones a salir adelante y construir algo distinto para sus vidas. Ese tipo de acciones, hechas sin necesidad ni obligación, muestran lo que es liderar de verdad: impactar en otros y acompañarlos a crecer.¿Qué hace que una persona genere confianza?La confianza aparece cuando sentís un interés genuino del otro. No solo en lo que hacen, sino en quién sos. También es clave la coherencia entre lo que alguien dice y lo que hace, incluso cuando nadie lo ve. Esa congruencia es lo que realmente construye credibilidad.¿Y qué señales te alertan sobre lo contrario?Es difícil crecer al lado de alguien que está enfocado solo en sí mismo y no celebra el crecimiento de los demás. Un buen líder impulsa a su entorno. También genera desconfianza quien muestra una imagen pero actúa distinto en privado. Esa falta de coherencia rompe cualquier vínculo.¿Te pasó de admirar a alguien y cambiar tu percepción?Sí, y también entendí que muchas veces tiene que ver con etapas. A veces juzgamos sin conocer el contexto del otro. Lo que intento hacer es aprender de eso y decidir cómo quiero actuar yo cuando esté en ese lugar. También valoro mucho a personas que eligen enfocarse en lo positivo de los demás, como Doti, que tiene una forma muy natural de pensar en el otro y ayudar sin juzgar.¿Qué valor es indispensable en un líder?La base es la confianza. Y eso se construye desde un lugar de genuino interés por las personas. Sin eso, es muy difícil que alguien quiera seguirte.¿Qué pesa más: lo que logra o cómo lo logra?Al principio uno mira los resultados, pero con el tiempo empieza a importar más el proceso. Porque no todo vale para llegar. El equilibrio entre ambas cosas es lo que realmente define a un líder.¿Cómo elegir a quién seguir en un mundo con tantas voces?Cada uno conecta con quienes están alineados con sus propios valores. En mi caso, sigo a personas como John Maxwell, Ken Blanchard o Craig Groeschel, porque lo que enseñan está en línea con cómo viven. Eso es lo que termina marcando la diferencia.

In this episode of the Transformative Leadership Summit, Jethro sits down with Kyle Palmer, principal of Lewis and Clark Elementary, to explore how school leaders can develop teacher leaders and build a culture of trust and innovation. Kyle shares the story of how his school evolved from a single maker space initiative—sparked by library teacher Angela Rosheim's genius hour instruction—into a school-wide culture of student-centered learning, STEM integration through Project Lead The Way (PLTW), and maker spaces throughout the building. Central to the conversation is Kyle's philosophy of tight/loose leadership: being firm on learning outcomes and collaborative team expectations while giving teachers genuine autonomy in how they get there. He discusses the power of highly functioning PLCs, the importance of developing leaders (not just followers—a concept drawn from John Maxwell), and why trust, listening, and consistent feedback are the keys to empowering staff. Kyle leaves principals with a simple but powerful action step: go ask your best teachers what they think.

If your top performers are walking out the door and you never saw it coming, the problem isn't them. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer three listener questions that all point back to the same problem: what you are not seeing is shaping your outcomes. They talk through why high performers often leave without giving real feedback, how to approach self-awareness without getting lost in endless "work on yourself" loops, and what promotions look like in a results-driven environment. Here's what you'll learn: Why employees often avoid direct feedback on leadership issues, and how to reduce regrettable turnover How to spot patterns in your behavior through journaling, weekly reviews, and trusted outside feedback Why promotions follow measurable output, not visibility and long hours, and how to become undeniable If you want better outcomes, take a hard look at the habits and assumptions you treat as normal.

Don't spend your leadership journey trying to avoid failure; you will end up thinking, planning, and dreaming too small. Instead, invest your time creating a framework to let failure work to your advantage. In this week's episode, John Maxwell teaches four ways you can transform setbacks into powerful steppingstones for success! After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson share actionable strategies to help you turn John's insights on failure into practical growth for yourself and your team. Key takeaways:  The most effective leaders learn to distinguish between good misses that move them forward and bad misses that hold them back.  Embracing the difficulty of challenges and anticipating failure prepares you mentally and emotionally to grow through adversity.  When you humbly share your failures and lessons learned, you encourage others and build a culture where growth thrives over perfection.

If you keep waiting to "feel motivated," you will keep losing to friction, bad habits, and the identity you keep reinforcing. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Craig Ballantyne, widely known for being "the world's most disciplined man." He didn't get there through sheer intensity or some superhuman routine, but instead by turning discipline into a repeatable system. Together, they break down why "discipline" means something different for everyone, why subtracting friction beats adding effort, and how identity and self-talk determine your consistency. This conversation is a practical blueprint for building standards that hold up even when life gets busy. Here's what you'll learn: Why discipline starts with a clear definition of success, not generic "work harder" goals How to subtract obstacles (environments, people, distance, temptations) so consistency becomes the default What it takes to shift your identity and self-talk so your habits become almost automatic Stop trying to win with willpower. Actually achieve your goals with systems.

What happens when the drive that built your firm starts costing you the life you wanted it to support? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer three questions from firm owners who built real success but then realized the business was taking a toll on their health, marriage, and personal lives. Michael Mogill shares how he thinks about separating who you are from what you run, how to stay demanding without becoming unapproachable, and how to stay motivated when the old underdog story stops working. Here's what you'll learn: How to rethink “starting over” when the business is consuming your time and attention How to keep high standards while creating a culture where your team is not afraid to challenge you How to find a new source of drive when you have already achieved what used to motivate you If you want a business that supports your life, you have to build it so it does not require you for everything.

What values are defining your legacy as a leader? In this week's episode, John Maxwell illuminates how true leadership can only center on values, and those values can only center on people. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson dig into practical ways you can identify, live out, and multiply these values within your team and organization.   Key takeaways:  The test of good values is whether they value all people, all the time, in every situation—this alignment is the foundation of real leadership.  Leaders who see and lift others unlock greater potential, but when they stop valuing people, they lose their right to lead. Values act as the glue, foundation, compass, and map for a leader, providing stability, accountability, direction, and daily guidance.

What separates the firms that scale cleanly from the ones that stay stuck in chaos, even with a great reputation? In this special mashup episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Kayla Grayson and Michael Beckman of Viles & Beckman, Jami Oliver of Oliver Law Office, Craig Greening of The Greening Law Group, and Stevin Groth of Groth & Associates to explore the real difference between stalling and scaling. Most firms don't fail because they lack talent; they're struggling because the business behind the cases cannot keep up.

Here's what you'll learn: How to improve client communication and experience to create real value (and prevent case leakage) How to use AI to accelerate case resolution while maintaining the human touch that clients expect What it means to move from trial lawyer to true business owner and leader Exceptional client experience doesn't happen by accident. This episode reveals the systems, standards, and strategic decisions that deliver excellence every single time. ---- Show Notes: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:03:04) Groth: immigrant kid to founder (00:07:05) Early days: taking every call himself (00:18:38) From peacekeeper to leader (00:27:46) Normal is unacceptable (00:29:36) Beckman and Grayson on “the five-star brand” (00:33:03) Culture after losing a partner (00:42:17) Competing with Amazon-level service (00:49:16) Break the mold, build your vision (00:51:34) AI removes busywork (00:57:08) Greening: brand without gimmicks (00:58:23) The stop at 16 that led him to law (01:01:11) Engineering edge in court (01:26:18) Hire to win, not to be right (01:23:34) Jami: COVID decision to scale (01:26:53) Six-month hiring funnel (01:34:57) Community impact that sticks (01:42:35) Success: more time with her daughters ---- Links & Resources: Groth & Associates The Toledo Mud Hens Scopes Monkey Trial Viles & Beckman Oliver Law Office The Greening Law Group ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

In this episode of Torsion Talk, Ryan Lucia breaks down a powerful concept from John Maxwell that stopped him in his tracks: the four ways people actually change. This isn't just theory—it's a framework that explains why so many business owners stay stuck, especially in the home service and garage door industry.Ryan dives into the first and most common driver of change: pain. Many entrepreneurs rely on “figure it out” moments, reacting only when things go wrong—bad hires, lost revenue, pricing mistakes, or operational chaos. While pain can be a powerful motivator, Ryan explains why it's a terrible long-term business strategy and keeps you stuck playing defense.From there, he explores the power of exposure and inspiration. When you finally see what's possible—whether it's a $5M company, a high-performing operation, or a completely different level of success—your perspective shifts. What once felt impossible suddenly becomes the new standard.Ryan also unpacks the importance of learning and intentional growth. Too many business owners attend events, take notes, and never implement. He challenges the mindset of being “too cheap” to invest in knowledge, coaching, or systems, arguing that refusing to pay for information is often the most expensive mistake you can make.Finally, he talks about the role of support, tools, and community in creating real change. It's not enough to want to grow—you need the right environment, accountability, and resources to execute at a high level.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or plateaued. If you want to grow your business faster, reduce costly mistakes, and stop relying on pain as your only motivator, this conversation will shift how you think about change, learning, and success.Find Ryan at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://garagedooru.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aaronoverheaddoors.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://markinuity.com/⁠Check out our sponsors!Sommer USA - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://sommer-usa.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Surewinder - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://surewinder.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stealth Hardware - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quietmydoor.com/⁠

What if the reason problems keep reaching you at DEFCON 1 is not your team's competence, but your rules of engagement? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill respond to three questions that hit a nerve with many firm owners: why problems keep getting escalated late, why team performance can feel inconsistent from week to week, and why meetings sometimes turn into silence instead of collaboration. This conversation is about the leadership signals you may be sending without realizing it, and how small adjustments can change the way your team communicates, performs, and contributes. Here's what you'll learn: How to define escalation criteria so you hear about the right issues earlier, without becoming the bottleneck Why emotional consistency from leadership affects performance more than motivation does A simple way to structure meetings so every person contributes, not just the most outspoken If you want a team that operates with urgency and ownership (without waiting for a crisis), this is your playbook.

What if the fastest way to build mental toughness is to choose the hard thing on purpose? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Andy Glaze. Andy is an ultrarunner, firefighter, and author of Smile, or You're Doing It Wrong. He's built a following by documenting what it really takes to keep moving when your body and brain are begging you to quit. Together, they break down why high performers chase extreme challenges, what ultramarathons reveal about failure and resilience, and how to apply those lessons to leadership, business, and life. Here's what you'll learn: Why high performers deliberately seek challenges with a real chance of failure, and how that mirrors entrepreneurship. How to build durability through “time on your feet” and zone 2 discipline, instead of relying on intensity and motivation. Why learning to reframe pain, setbacks, and criticism is a competitive advantage in business and in life. If you've been waiting to feel ready before you take your next big leap, this episode will challenge that mindset. ---- Show Notes: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:34 Michael explains how Andy's “run 100 miles with me” videos caught his attention, and why they changed his view of human limits.  00:03:18 Andy shares how he found ultrarunning in his 30s, starting with trail running and a 24-hour Tough Mudder that pushed him into longer races.  00:05:20 What draws certain runners past marathons, including the outdoors, the slower pace, and the appeal of a longer, more unpredictable challenge.  00:07:01 Why so many ultrarunners are high performers, and how extreme races scratch the same itch as business: risk, uncertainty, and the chance of failure.  00:09:46 What a 200+ mile race feels like from the inside, how pain changes over time, and how Andy manages sleep, short naps, and fueling to keep moving.  00:23:50 The link between addiction recovery and endurance sports, and how some people redirect that drive into something healthier.  00:29:51 Andy's approach to online hate, why he responds, and how he uses it to teach people not to stop sharing their progress.  00:33:17 Why DNF matters, what it teaches, and how Andy thinks about failure as part of getting better, not a reason to quit.  00:39:08 The cost of chasing hard goals, and how Andy thinks about balance, family, and what he chooses to give up so he can train.  00:47:35 How Andy defines success, including goal-setting, long-term thinking, and building a life where he gets real time with his kids.  ---- Links & Resources: Andy Glaze Andy Glaze on Instagram Andy Glaze on TikTok Smile, or You're Doing it Wrong by Andy Glaze Moab 240 Western States Endurance Run 100-Mile Ketone IQ ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Money issues at work rarely stay just about money, and the way you respond sets the standard for everything that follows. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle three money-related questions that even experienced leaders can struggle with. They unpack how to support an employee who is struggling financially without becoming a long-term solution to a personal problem. Michael also shares how to think about investing in your team and operations when your instinct is to stay frugal, plus how to respond when a strong performer keeps pushing for raises. Here's what you'll learn: Why solving an employee's money problems for them can backfire, and what support to offer instead How to invest in your team without compromising long-term stability, payroll confidence, or future growth How to handle “market rate” raises pressure by creating milestone-based compensation paths and explaining the economics clearly If money is creating tension in your firm, this episode gives you a clearer way to lead. ---- 02:15 - Michael and Jessica kick things off with a quick reminder that leadership is often about doing the work you do not feel like doing. 04:19 - The episode gets into a leadership dilemma that sounds compassionate on paper, but can turn into a long-term expectation. 09:09 - The conversation shifts to the psychology of spending, and how your upbringing can shape what you perceive as “responsible” investing. 11:40 - They draw a clear line between foundational investments that change quality of life and “nice-to-haves” that only look impressive. 14:19 - The episode closes with a framework for compensation conversations that replaces arguing about “market rate” with transparency, milestones, and economics. 18:09 - Michael explains why a clear “no” lands differently when it comes with real business economics, not just authority. ---- Links & Resources: Bill Gates Vince McMahon Dwayne Johnson Triple H ---- Learn what sustainable growth can look like for your firm at crispcoach.com. ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

If you want justice to change, you cannot treat equality like a slogan. You have to fight for it like it is personal. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Ben Crump, renowned civil rights attorney and founder of Ben Crump Law, to unpack what it really means to pursue equality inside a system shaped by power, precedent, and bias. Ben explains why progress is often incremental, why the biggest injustice is not always what makes the news, and why lawyers have a responsibility to speak truth to power even when it is unpopular. This conversation is a reminder that influence is only valuable when you use it to protect people who do not have any. Here's what you'll learn: Why racism and discrimination in America are rooted in economics, and how that shapes the fight for justice today How to handle death threats, public attacks, and the personal cost of taking on high-profile civil rights cases What it means to use your legal education to speak truth to power, even when it's controversial, unpopular, or dangerous If you have a legal education, you have a responsibility to make the world a better place. This episode will remind you why. ---- Show Notes: 02:53 — Ben explains the sacrifice behind the work, and why it feels like the news never stops giving him another family to serve. 03:55 — Ben talks about “incremental progress,” why change never happens overnight, and why cases like George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery still matter as proof that accountability is possible. 05:39 — Michael asks where the real problem begins; Ben says it starts with whether people truly believe the Declaration of Independence, then explains how he tests that belief in jury selection. 11:53 — Ben shares how he stays optimistic, first through his own upbringing and family, then through a surprising source: what law school taught him about “precedent.” 16:42 — Ben tells the story of his mother and grandmother, the power of education, and how Brown v. Board and Thurgood Marshall shaped his mission when he was only nine years old. 21:20 — Michael brings up the backlash and threats; Ben explains why he accepts the risk, what “influence” is for, and why speaking truth to power is part of the job. 25:50 — Ben gives a practical answer to “But what can I do?” in the face of injustice 29:13 — Ben reflects on being a “rent lawyer,” and why the small cases and hard seasons are what sharpen the skills you will rely on later. ---- Links & Resources: Ben Crump Law Civil: Ben Crump (Netflix Documentary) Thurgood Marshall Frederick Douglass Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.

How much do you really care for the people you lead—and what does your preparation say about it? In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals why genuine care can only be expressed through the discipline of preparation, and how your commitment to leading others starts long before you ever enter the room. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson dive into real-world strategies and personal stories to ensure you can put John's principles into practice right away. Key takeaways:  If you only "wing it," you may get by—but you'll never break into the top tier of impactful leadership; true excellence demands intentional effort and preparation. Every leader carries both a "best message" (what you share in the moment) and a "big message" (the essence of who you are), and intentional preparation helps you clarify and amplify both.  Setting your internal standard higher than external applause empowers you to lead with integrity, grow continuously, and serve those you influence at the highest level. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Preparing Is Caring Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.

Click the link below to come see me speak live and use promo code "ED30" for 30% off! ⁠https://lifesurge.com What if the very thing you've been avoiding your entire life… is actually the key to unlocking your greatest success? In this conversation with John Maxwell, we go deep on something every single one of you deals with, but almost nobody has mastered… failure. And I've got to tell you, this one hit me personally. John has been a mentor, a friend, and someone I look up to in a way that's hard to even put into words. So when we sat down to talk about his new work on failure, I knew this wasn't going to be surface-level. This is the real stuff that defines your life. John breaks down why most people never even get in the game. It's not a lack of talent. It's not a lack of opportunity. It's that they haven't gotten over themselves. That fear of looking bad, of being judged, of failing publicly… it keeps people stuck in the bleachers. And one of the most powerful distinctions we talk about is this idea of a “good miss” versus a “bad miss.” Because failure itself isn't what defines you… your response to it is. That alone could change your entire life if you really take it in. We also unpack something I've never heard explained this way before. Success and failure are meant to be together. You separate them, and you lose. When you're winning, failure keeps you humble. When you're struggling, success gives you resilience. That balance is where growth actually happens. And John shares how reframing failure from a liability into an asset completely transformed not just his career, but his entire perspective on life. This episode is also about leadership. About how you lead your family, your team, and yourself through setbacks. John made it clear that when successful people talk about their failures, it gives everyone else permission to keep going. It encourages people. It lifts them. And I had to check myself in this conversation too… because the truth is, when we only show our wins, we might actually be discouraging the very people we're trying to help. If you've been holding back, playing it safe, or letting the fear of failure control your decisions… this is the episode you need right now. This isn't just about failure. It's about freedom. Key Takeaways: Why fear of failure is really about ego and how to break free from it The difference between a “good miss” and a “bad miss” and why your response matters most How keeping success and failure together builds both humility and resilience Why failure should move you, not define you or make you comfortable How great leaders use their failures to inspire and develop others The mindset shift that turns failure from a liability into your greatest asset
