John Morgan is one of America's most feared lawyers—and for good reason. Founder of Morgan & Morgan, the largest personal injury firm in the U.S., he turned a family tragedy into a $2 billion empire. From taking down Disney after his brother's accident to battling Coca-Cola, Big Pharma, and Fortune 500 giants, Morgan built a reputation as the lawyer corporations fear the most.

Here's what you'll learn: Why speed beats consensus — and why imperfect decisions made quickly can fuel faster growth How to assign decision rights by expertise so your team stops spinning in circles What it takes to embrace “disagree and commit” so your firm moves forward even without unanimous agreement If you're tired of decision gridlock, this episode will show you how to lead with clarity, speed, and conviction. ---- 02:20 – Why many attorneys know more about their favorite sports team than their own firm's numbers 04:15 – The importance of wearing your own “jersey” and taking pride in your brand 14:10 – Why consensus among five partners is the slowest way to make decisions 15:50 – Not every partner should have an equal vote — expertise matters 16:25 – Speed beats consensus: why fast imperfect decisions win 17:35 – The power of “disagree and commit” in high-performing firms 18:05 – Treating failure as data, not identity 20:00 – Why you can't always wait for buy-in before leading change ---- Links & Resources: Brazil Nut Georgia Power Comcast AT&T ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?
