In this episode's discussions around the Community Table:  Our first question turned into a collaborative discussion around the Community Table with input from several other lawyers. How does a longtime attorney with her own firm finally shake things up, turn operations over to someone else, and focus on strategy and the practice of law? It's hard to let go of control, even with a consultant pitching in. How do you market when money is tight, cash flow is low, and you need more dollars in the door? Start by knowing your practice. What's the underlying issue, what kind of ship are you leading? From there you can spot opportunities and focus on revenue and marketing. Thinking of making a pivot or expanding from your current area of practice to boost revenue? Consider what you enjoy doing and think about what areas of the law generate consistent, timely cash flow.  Mentioned in this Episode: Gino Wickman, “Traction” Michael Morse, “Fireproof” Previously on the Un-Billable Hour, guest Michael Morse, “Your Firm?

Today's guest is Michael Morse, founder of one of the nation's leading personal injury law firms. Michael grew up in a Detroit suburb, where his offices still reside today. Though his early life was disrupted by the divorce of his parents and bullying in school, Michael discovered a childhood knack for marketing and entrepreneurship before he was even a teenager,. The money he earned helped build a sense of independence and security in a world that felt uncertain.The death of his father, who had inspired him to be a lawyer, changed everything.  In his journey/quest to rise above the death of his father and the subsequent loss of multiple jobs, Michael developed an attitude and a system to learn and improve himself. Today, that's what he calls becoming "Fireproof".  Michael now teaches the Fireproof method to lawyers all over the nation.In this interview, we discuss the principles of Fireproof, but perhaps more importantly, the immense power of gratefulness, exercise, and delegation in overcoming life's personal and professional challenges.  Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesJoin our Better Together LinkedIn Group

Summary: In this episode of Where There's a Will, There's a Way, host Will Crist talked with Michael Morse, the owner and founder of the largest law firm in Michigan. Michael started his law firm over 25 years ago, and he ran the law firm with no business background whatsoever. After 15 years in the practice, Michael realized he needed help, and his firm became the first law firm to adopt the EOS model. The firm now thrives and even mentors other firms through their Fireproof program which is adapted for law firms. Throughout the episode, Will and Michael discussed how EOS has changed the firm and its employees for the better and how other law firms can do the same.   Thanks for tuning in!   Shownotes: (0:55) Introductions (4:00) How EOS Has Changed the Law Firm (8:31) For Implementers: Getting the Attention of Senior Law Firms (11:22) What Would a Law Firm Principal Need to Hear?

And that's what we're trying to do is spread the gospel and teach them how to run a really good business.” Michael Morse, (10:43)   ”I think most law firm owners are doing too much. They're hitting the ceiling. They're not working in their sweet spots. They're not enjoying life…They don't know how to delegate. They don't know their numbers…you can ask a few questions and prove that they're hitting the ceiling…[I ask], what if I could teach you a way that you could work on all day everyday things that you're great at doing and that you love to do? Would you like to hear more about that? Who's going to say no to that?” Michael Morse, (11:41)   ”I think that learning the things that we've learned and making a difference in our law firm is definitely spreading and making the world a better place.” Michael Morse, (15:51) ”If you do embrace this…as a business lifestyle, it really does work. It's not pie in the sky. It's take some time. It's not overnight. You don't read the book and wake up and you're living these five things. Absolutely not. It's taken me 15 years…but it definitely works.” Michael Morse, (33:36) Contact Will Crist

On today's show, we interview Michael Morse who shares with us his thoughts on perseverance, financial freedom, and cultivating lifelong professional relationships. Growing up, Michael was always keen to do things on his own. So, naturally, he was excited when the Student Works opportunity came along.  In this segment of the show, Michael shares how he made the same mistake that many people make. Many students discard the Student Works model as being too “simplistic” and “unprofessional”. Whereas, in reality, it is anything but that.  You will learn how Student Works helped Michael build strong foundational skills that set the tone for an incredibly successful career ahead. Upon graduation, Michael decided to join Scotia Wealth Management since it was a small firm with incredible growth opportunities.  You will learn how Michael made 10,000 cold calls in this first year. And how he and his team have since grown their business by leaps and bounds. As of now, Michael's firm manages $500 million for more than 200 families. You do not want Michael's definition of financial freedom. And the animated discussion on how to build a healthy attitude towards money. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show How I made 10,000 cold calls in my first year as a wealth manager How I successfully built a $500 million private client wealth business The real definition of financial freedom How to cultivate a healthy attitude towards money And so much more… Resources Student Works  Chris Thomson LinkedIn

Going from not knowing where your next case is coming from to becoming the biggest personal injury law firm in your market in under ten years is an impressive accomplishment. But what is even more remarkable is doing it without losing your values and principles along the way.

Thanks to newest MASN personality Michael Morse for our deeply on brand title (and general baseball philosophy). We've got a fair amount of pitchers being weird cats, or people being weird to pitching cats, this ep. What is it about Florida that makes for so many poor choices? Also, racial scapegoating isn't really the best way to deal with PEDs, MLB. In Nats news: Juan Soto (new) Blessed Baseball Infant, Hellickson's blister is probably fine, and we're over .500 and apparently trying to start a boy band. That sure is something. Episode 35: Pitchers Are Weird Cats

As many of you know, we regularly talk about pet-related books on the show with our book reviewer, Maryanne Dell.  But sometimes, it's fun to get an author on the show to explain first hand where his ideas came from.  Today, Michael Morse, the Author of Mr. Wilson Makes it Home, will be sharing a little about his journey in writing this book.  Then after our halftime break, Carolyn Merino Mullin, the founder and executive director of the National Museum of Animals and Society will give us the details on a museum animal lovers will truly enjoy. 

We regretfully dedicate the first portion of this episode of TortureCast to the Super Bowl and the bad? call at the 1 yard line.

We knew this day would come. We finally hit a uniform number that has never graced the back of a single SF Giant. We'll think of it as Xavier Nady minus 1, or Doug Mirabelli plus 1. Not sure what we'll do about 100+, if we ever get there. Willie and Chad talk Giants baseball on this off-day that finds the Giants starting a six game road trip to Chicago and Washington, only 3.5 games back of the bums and with a hold on the second wild card spot. Hey, they were further back of the Padres at this point in 2010. Of course, the Dougie was also a popular dance then, so.... We cover the recent series, Morse's hot bat, Panik's hustling pinkie, Matt Cain's season-ending surgery, Belt's troubling concussion (and Sanchez's), Susac, Posey, Pablo, perplexing Timmy, the second base curse, Jimmy Rollins, and what kind of player would manifest with Yaseil Puig's raw talent with Hunter Pence's love and respect for the game. Also, next week around 9 pm PDT, Monday, August 25, we'll be having our first LIVE CALL IN SHOW and will be streaming it LIVE on YouTube. Mark it on your calendar, and be sure to call us from your phone and we'll be sure to patch you in, even if you think Michael Morse is a bust this year. That number is 415-799-SFG1 Again, that number: 415-799-SFG1. Wait, I only need to repeat it on the podcast, not on this post...

In this Eleventh Hour presentation, poet Michael Morse will discuss the prose poem, a literary hybrid with evocative potential. We’ll look at a brief history of the form, some model examples of writing that blend the lyricism of the poem with the syntax of the sentence, and try our hand at exercises that will yield early drafts of work to take home and develop.

The boys are back in Episode #56 to talk about Ben and Chad's experience interviewing players at Media Day, how Chad gave a 3 hour behind-the-scenes tour of the Monterey Bay Aquarium to Matt Cain and his family, early domination by the starters in Spring Training, our favorite tweets, and the first "Why'll we'll win it all" of 2014. Come join our Michael Morse swooncast!

Chad and Ben sat down with Giants closer Sergio Romo at Media Day at AT&T Park before the start of spring training. We talk about his takeover of the Warriors' Twitter account, what he would have like to have played professionally if it weren't for baseball, and he hates that inherited runners that score count as an earned run. Be sure to check out our other interviews with Matt Cain, Michael Morse, Javier Lopez and others!

Chad and Ben interview Giants reliever Javier Lopez at Media Day on January 31, 2014. He praises the fans, the stadium, the team, and winning 2 World Series as the main factors in re-signing with San Francisco. Javy also would like to eliminate the earned run if an inherited runner scores after stealing second through defensive indifference. Be sure to listen to our other interviews from Media Day including Matt Cain, Sergio Romo, Tim Lincecum, Michael Morse and others.

Chad and Ben interview the Giants' new left fielder Michael Morse at Media Day at AT&T Park. We ask him about the "phantom" grand slam he hit with the Nationals 2 years ago, what sport he would've like to have played professionally, other than baseball, and one baseball rule he'd like to change.

On this edition of the Yanks Go Yard show brought to you by BaldVinny.com, Ricky recaps the Yankees' series in Kansas City and gives a mini preview of the doubleheader Monday with the Indians. Then, Ricky will preview the Mariners' series with a guest from the site Sodo Mojo. They will talk about the impact of Michael Morse and Kendry Morales as well as the development of Jesus Montero 

Episode 48: We welcome Matt Kowall, comedian and neighbour to Dave, into the newly created 3rd host chair and immediately a riffstorm develops. Matt is given an unabashedly flattering introduction by one of his biggest fans, Sean from Coffee Time. In return Matt gives us the secret to Michael Morse Code, a method of picking up women that really works! Or at least it did when Dave tried it on Steve. We also do some investigative reporting on Jack Morris' investigative reporting on Clay Buchholz. Oh, and we learn more of the increasingly convoluted and self-contradictory backstory of our favourite Play by Play man, Buck Martinez.

Some great stories all throughout baseball this opening week! I talk about early season standings and who will be able to stay at the top of their divisions through the long season! We do a match-up of Michael Morse vs. Adam LaRoche... Who would you take? Listen in and hear my answer! Thank you! Daniel

Coming fresh into a new season the Three Up, Three Down crew jumps right into the opening series with a lot to talk about. A few extensions were handed out to players such as Elvis Andrus, Justin Verlander, and Paul Goldschmidt and who could forget watching Clayton Kershaw slicing and dicing the San Francisco Giants while taking one deep? Was that better than Yu Darvish's almost perfect performance against the Houston Astros? Not only are the pitchers doing well, two hitters have made a statement this early in the season as Chris Davis and Michael Morse are smashing the ball, but who would you rather have the rest of the season on your fantasy team? Take a listen and choose wisely!

Jason Martinez of MLBDepthCharts and Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLBTradeRumors get you all caught up on all the roster moves that happened over the holidays and all the rumors still going around. 

The elegy offers one of poetry’s most appealing consolations: it can transform loss—and even the threat of loss—into an artful presence. This session will explore how reading contemporary elegies and engaging in elegiac writing can help us reflect on the lives we’ve led (and will lead). Expect a moving and invigorating session—one that isn’t afraid to laugh, either—as we look at some poems that generate presence even in the absence of loss. We’ll also talk about potential exercises for poets and fiction writers that might yield new writing.

The crew talks the Nats home opener, the past weeks games and the next weeks games. Will Carroll returns to talk injuries to both Drew Storen and Michael Morse.
