If your team has stopped challenging you, that's not alignment, it's a warning sign. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill unpack what really happens when decisiveness turns into dismissiveness. From ignored warnings and bad assumptions to ego-driven leadership and the cost of fake collaboration, Michael breaks down why strong leaders don't just make decisions fast, they stay open to what they're not seeing. Here's what you'll learn: Why decisiveness can become dangerous when you stop listening to the people closest to the work How to create a culture where your team brings you hard truths before problems explode What it takes to hold strong opinions without letting ego override better ideas and better data If you want better decisions, stop acting like your perspective is the only one that matters. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:03:55) Q1: Decisive without dismissive (00:04:31) Ego is the real blind spot (00:07:52) Q2: Don't train your team to be silent (00:09:09) Worry about what you can't see (00:09:48) Strong opinions, loosely held (00:12:56) Q3: When input is just theater (00:15:29) Give people a chance to fail (00:16:06) Why great ideas come from the team (00:17:57) Outro ---- Links & Resources: “Strong opinions, loosely held” (Paul Saffo) First principles thinking ---- 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?

You've been there: Pressure is high. Priorities are competing. Everything feels urgent. How do you stay focused when you're being pulled in a million different directions? In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals the mindset and habits that empower leaders to bring stability and hope to the seasons that matter most. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede provide practical strategies you can use right now to lead your team through challenging times with clarity and confidence. Key takeaways:  Traction comes from focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you cannot. Write it down, put it before you, and act on it every day.  Difficult times don't develop leaders—they reveal them. Who you are when pressure mounts determines your influence and your team's trust.  When clarity about the future is impossible, focus instead on certainty for the next step, showing up with confidence, steadiness, hope, and presence for those you lead. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the How Great Leaders Stay Focused When Everything is Falling Apart Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.

What if everything you believe about your brain inevitably slowing down with age is simply wrong, and you have far more control than you ever imagined? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with neuroscientist, performance coach, and self-described "elite-level professional nerd" Dr. Tommy Wood to dismantle the myth that cognitive decline is destiny. Drawing on his work treating brain injury, advising Formula 1 drivers, and his new book, “The Stimulated Mind,” Dr. Wood lays out a simple framework for keeping your brain sharp at any age, and explains why the small, daily inputs matter far more than you think. For high performers running hard and recovering little, this is the wake-up call your brain has been waiting for. Here's what you'll learn: Why your brain can adapt and improve at any age, and how your expectations alone can change the outcome How to apply the three-S model (stimulus, supply, support) to protect cognitive function for life What it takes to use AI as a tool that sharpens your skills instead of quietly eroding them Your brain is not on a fixed downward path, and this episode is your blueprint for proving it.

The work that drains you isn't a discipline problem. It's a sign you've been ignoring. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill dig into what happens when a firm owner's instincts no longer match what the business actually needs. Michael makes the case that the parts of the work you dread, the growth you can't seem to unlock, and the partner you keep clashing with are all pointing at the same thing: a truth about how you're built that you've been working around instead of working with. Here's what you'll learn: How to tell whether you're a visionary or an integrator, and why forcing yourself to be both will burn you out When optimizing a business that already works stops paying off, and what to do to actually grow it How to keep a partnership from breaking when you and your partner no longer share the same appetite for risk Stop white-knuckling the parts of your business that drain you and start building toward the version that doesn't. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:01:37) Family life & summer camp tales (00:07:49) Q1: Visionary or integrator?

Making Bold Business Decisions When the Future Is Uncertain is covered in this Podcast***************************************Entrepreneurs are constantly forced to make big moves with incomplete information—whether it's selling a business, pivoting to a new model, or doubling down on a risky opportunity. In this conversation, Andrew Frazier and guest Adam Roach unpack how to recognize a true calling vs. a distraction, manage fear and uncertainty, and make courageous decisions that align with your values and long-term vision. You'll hear real-world stories of bold pivots, practical decision frameworks, and how faith, community, and wise counsel can help you move forward confidently when the path ahead isn't clear.Adam Roach is a coach, community builder, and former real estate franchise owner based in Charleston, South Carolina. A native of Indiana and former collegiate and aspiring professional tennis player, Adam began his career in the tennis business in Southern California before transitioning into real estate, where he owned three Keller Williams Realty franchises. Inspired by the legacy of his late father, an Olympic swim coach and influential mentor, Adam sold his franchises to pursue a higher calling: empowering coaches. He is the founder of the I Love Coaching community, now active on four continents, which supports coaches in building impactful businesses—from one-on-one practices to scalable, seven-figure brands—using his REAL Coach Method (Relevant, Experiential, Authentic Leaders), an acronym developed with leadership expert John Maxwell.

Leaders go farther when they don't see a finish line — are you letting perceived limits hold back your impact? In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals why so many leaders stop growing, and how leaders can maintain a lifelong commitment to learning and relevance.  After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow unpack the practical steps you can take to apply these principles in your own leadership. Key takeaways:  Growth requires continual refreshment—leaders who thrive consistently seek to update their thinking, materials, and approach to stay relevant. The willingness to anticipate new challenges and resist resting on past achievements is essential for forward-focused leadership.  True legacy is built by pouring into others.

When's the last time you were UNCOMFORTABLE, OR PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITION TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE in your work? Discomfort = growth, and comfort = stagnation. The people doing the most growing are the ones that submit to spiritual and personal growth, like having a group of fellow Christ followers, who challenge them and hold them accountable, in their professional life, their leadership and business. You know what they say, if you're not growing, you're dying. The wisdom of Proverbs 27:17 says As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. John Maxwell said it best: If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.  What will YOU do this week, in your professional life, to be challenged and GROW? 

Most people spend twenty years climbing a mountain, reach the top, and realize they never wanted the view. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Robert Glazer to break down why core values are the most underused tool in leadership. They get into where your values actually come from, why you can't coach them into the people you hire, and why most leaders are measuring their teams with the wrong scorecard entirely. If you've ever hit a milestone and felt nothing, this conversation explains why, and what to do about it. Here's what you'll learn: Why your core values were set early in life, and what it costs you to lead without knowing them How to hire for the values people actually live instead of the ones they perform in interviews What separates a real company core value from a poster on the wall nobody believes in The view from the top is only worth it if you picked the right mountain to climb. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:06:07) Where core values come from (00:07:11) Can your values change? (00:09:00) The car-in-a-tunnel analogy (00:11:35) Personal vs. company values (00:16:59) The big three life decisions (00:19:17) Why knowing isn't doing (00:21:25) The four capacities (00:27:36) Money, happiness, and “enough” (00:32:12) Biggest leadership mistakes (00:34:01) Spotting leadership potential (00:38:53) Rethinking the two-week notice (00:43:16) How success gets redefined (00:44:09) What it means to be a game changer ---- Links & Resources: The Compass Within by Robert Glazer Elevate by Robert Glazer The Go-Giver by Bob Burg Arthur Brooks Morgan Housel Traction by Gino Wickman ---- 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?

Most people say they want financial breakthrough, but very few are actually walking in the faith it takes to get there. In this episode, Ray Higdon delivers a powerful and challenging message for anyone who feels stuck financially. The problem, Ray says, isn't strategy or timing. It's who you're being every single day, and whether you're truly walking in faith or just claiming to be. Ray draws on scripture, personal stories, and hard-won business experience to unpack what walking in faith actually looks like in practice. He shares the moment his company faced a $1.1 million hotel bill for a major event, how he was led to bring in John Maxwell as a speaker despite the enormous financial pressure, and why that obedience, not logic, produced the breakthrough. He also unpacks the parable of the talents, Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, and David's posture before Goliath to illustrate what genuine faith-driven decision-making looks like when the numbers don't make sense. This episode will challenge you to stop holding on so tightly to the money you have that you miss the investment God is calling you toward. If every opportunity looks like a cost instead of a door, this message is for you. Ray's raw honesty and faith-based perspective make this one of the most compelling episodes for entrepreneurs and network marketers who want God-led financial growth, not just hustle. —

The most valuable thing you can build into your firm is its ability to run without you. In this AMMA episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer the questions most firm owners put off until it's too late. When should you really start succession planning? How do you pick a successor without letting loyalty override the right call? And how do you build something worth more than the income it generates while you're in it? Michael makes the case that a firm dependent on its owner is a firm that's quietly losing value, and he lays out what it takes to change that. Plus, he kicks things off with his favorite recent movies, shows, and books. Here's what you'll learn: Why succession planning should start at least five years out, and what happens when you wait until your back's against the wall How to separate the discomfort of a hard conversation from the decision that's actually right for the business What it takes to turn your firm into an asset that grows whether or not you show up If something happened to you tomorrow, would your firm survive without you? Build like the answer needs to be yes.

Are you leading from your strengths, or simply telling others what they should do? In this week's episode, John Maxwell unpacks the challenging truth that leaders don't just teach what they know—they reproduce who they are by their example. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede provide practical strategies you can use to strengthen your self-leadership and intentionally shape the culture around you. Key takeaways:  Leading yourself effectively with authenticity and consistency can be your greatest daily challenge.  The responsibility of leadership means modeling growth and resilience so your team mirrors your example, not just your instructions.  What people observe in you determines what they become—leadership is visual, and proximity matters for genuine reproduction.

Not every great leader is loud.And not every thriving church is built by a hyper-competitive, type-A personality.In Episode 217 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, Chris sits down with Pastor Rob for an incredibly honest conversation about leadership, personality, AI, church finances, and what it really looks like to lead from who God actually made you to be.Because a lot of pastors quietly wrestle with this question:“Am I enough to lead something significant if I'm not the loudest, most driven person in the room?”Chris tackles that head-on—and the conversation that follows is one of the most refreshing episodes we've had in a while.Here's some of what they unpack:Why personality type does not determine ministry impactHow introverted or non-type-A leaders can still build thriving ministriesThe importance of surrounding yourself with extraordinary leadersWhy big vision matters—even for quieter personalitiesHealthy ways pastors can stay connected to people without becoming the lid on the churchA practical conversation around AI in ministry and where healthy boundaries should existChurch budgeting principles every pastor should understandHow strong churches think about staffing, reserves, and long-term sustainabilityCreative ideas churches are using right now to improve follow-up and guest engagementOne of the most powerful moments in the episode:“God made you the way you are, and you can excel in the way God made you.”Chris also shares a challenging insight he once heard from John Maxwell—that corporate leaders are often more hungry to grow and improve than pastors are.That part of the conversation alone is worth the listen.This episode is practical, thoughtful, and deeply encouraging for pastors who sometimes feel like they don't fit the stereotypical leadership mold.

What if the same thing that nearly destroyed you is the reason you become unstoppable? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Ken Rideout, world champion marathoner, former Wall Street trader, and recovering addict whose life reads like a story most people wouldn't believe. From a rough, blue-collar upbringing in Massachusetts to winning an ultramarathon across the Gobi Desert, Ken's path has been anything but linear. This conversation digs into how grit actually gets built, why money never filled the void he expected it to, and what it takes to bet on yourself when everyone around you says you can't. Here's what you'll learn: Why toughness isn't something you're born with, and how you can teach it to yourself Why money won't make you happier, even after going from broke to wealthy What it takes to turn a failure into the fire that drives everything after Ken built his comeback one decision at a time, and this episode shows you how to do the same. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:02:19) Why Ken wrote the memoir (00:04:33) A rough upbringing (00:07:49) Is hustle born or built?

Two callers, two problems every practice owner runs into. The first is a self-described systems guy whose team keeps reverting to old habits two weeks after every meeting, vision cast, and lunch-and-learn. The second is an associate who just carved out one day a week away from the chair and wants to know how to actually use it. Peter and Craig push back on both. To the first caller: "I've tried everything" is the language of defeat, and the issue usually isn't the team, it's leadership, incentives, and whether you've ever asked your people what they actually want. To the second: an admin day isn't the same as working on the business, and stacking marketing or payroll onto a practice with a leaky recare rate or unanswered phones is just stepping over dollars to grab pennies. Find the real constraint first. Along the way: why incentives beat vision casting, the John Maxwell line on leaders with no followers, anonymous team surveys, finding your big rocks before your sand, and why the owner's psychology is so often the chokehold of the business.

Dave Ramsey shares a powerful lesson on leadership, passion, and the lid keeping your organization from growing. In this fired-up talk, he explains why talented people who don't care are worthless, the John Maxwell principle that exposes the real ceiling on every team, and the one thing every great leader has to do that the conductor of an orchestra does every night. This episode will challenge you to stop blaming your team and start leading like it matters.Source: Dave Ramsey at the EntreLeadership Summit 2019Hosted by Sean CroxtonFollow me on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode flips the script on hustle culture and the lie that loving your work means never getting tired. I break down how I actually measure whether I had a good day, and it has nothing to do with clients, raises, or results. I also share something John Maxwell said that changed how I think about who deserves my time and energy. If you have been grinding yourself into the ground or feeling guilty for needing rest, this episode will give you a new framework and the permission to recharge without losing your edge. Key Takeaways A good day is measured by whether you made a difference, not by the results or rewards you received. Fatigue is a privilege. It means you gave everything to something that matters to you. If you love what you do, you will get tired faster because you are pouring more of yourself into it. Waking up with the same passion you went to bed with is the real marker of alignment with your work. Rest is not a weakness. The people worth respecting know when to work and when to recover. Action Steps At the end of each day this weekend, ask yourself one question: did I make a difference in someone else's life? Let that be your scorecard. Identify one person in your circle who also wants to make a difference and intentionally invest more time and energy into that relationship. Schedule deliberate rest this weekend. Treat it as part of your performance strategy, not a break from it. Notable Quote If you love what you do, you're pouring so much into it that you are going to get tired probably at a faster rate. But the difference is you wake up the next day with the same passion you went to bed with.

The anger that fuels growth can become the thing that slows it down. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer three listener questions that reveal a pattern hiding beneath the surface of almost every high-achieving firm owner: the chip on the shoulder that fueled the climb is still there, long after the summit. From dark energy and manufactured adversity to betrayal, forgiveness, and the stories we carry from past partnerships, this episode unpacks how to evolve your fuel source without losing your edge. Here's what you'll learn: Why the dark energy that drives early success has a shelf life, and how to shift to a fuel source that doesn't cost you the people around you How to stop carrying past betrayal into your current relationships and reset your default to trust before it's broken Why rewriting the story of a painful falling out, through forgiveness and gratitude, is the move that actually sets you free You've already proven you can build something.

Elite performance does not come from chasing more hacks. It comes from knowing what matters, cutting what does not, and executing when conditions are not perfect.

From toughness and self-talk to sleep, strength training, and resilience, Dr. Galpin explains why better performance starts with fewer distractions and better constraints.

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.

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

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.

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. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Four Ways to Turn Failure Into Success Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.
