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.

World-class endurance athlete Ken Rideout reveals the ultimate personal branding framework for attracting elite business networks.

If you want to be a top-tier salesperson or firm owner, you have to build an undeniable personal identity. Ken shares how dominating endurance sports organically turned him into a magnet for high-net-worth finance executives who desperately wanted to connect with a winner. Stop using corporate talk to win clients. Lean into your genuine passions, master your craft, and ruthlessly share your story—because at the end of the day, people are wired to flock toward excellence.

Elite endurance athlete Ken Rideout reveals why hitting your biggest milestones can trigger a dangerous loss of focus if you aren't disciplined.

When Ken Rideout became the fastest marathoner over 50, his primary emotion wasn't pure celebration. It was massive relief. But he warns that this exact feeling of "thank God it's over" is where high performers fail. The moment you think you are "good enough" and lift your foot off the gas, you open the door to a dangerous domino effect. Ken breaks down why holding the mental discipline to consistently go to bed early, stay sober, and protect your focus is infinitely harder than any physical workout.

Elite endurance athlete Ken Rideout reveals the brutal truth about why sharing your deepest failures builds a far stronger bond than bragging about your wins.

When Ken Rideout goes on podcasts, he notes that audiences tune out when he talks about what he’s won. Instead, they connect with his stories of fighting addiction and the crushing humiliation of quitting during his first Hawaii Ironman marathon. Ken shares how walking off that scorching course in front of his wife's camera left him deeply humiliated, but that exact shame lit a fire that fundamentally changed his execution. In entrepreneurship or athletics, your lowest moments are often the exact fuel required to fix your trajectory.

Michael Mogill breaks down the difference between real organizational commitment and a cheap dream that crumbles at the first sign of a trade-off.

It’s easy to say you want to scale your law firm, build financial freedom, or change your health. But Michael explains that it's amazing how fast people will lose their lifelong dreams to an inanimate object—like a six-pack of beer or a slice of chocolate cake. If a minor setback or a simple daily temptation is enough to make you throw in the towel, your dream was never a commitment. It was just a fantasy in your head.

Michael Mogill breaks down why elite leadership requires moving past petty rivalries and adopting an abundance mindset where everyone can win.

Many entrepreneurs look at competitors with disdain, treating market share like a zero-sum game. Referencing trial lawyer John Morgan, Michael explains that true industry leaders want to see others do better, not fail. When you stop trying to prove something to your haters and start focusing on helping others succeed, your mission expands. Once you reach the top of your business mountain, the real challenge is seeing how many people you can take up with you.

Worried your motivation to succeed isn’t as “noble” as some of your colleagues’? Don’t.

What matters isn’t whether your motivation sounds virtuous enough. It’s whether it gives you the energy to keep going when things get hard.

In this video, Crisp Founder & CEO Michael Mogill explains why your "why" doesn't need anyone else's approval and why some of the most powerful fuel for success comes from unexpected, “dark” places.

Dr. Andy Galpin breaks down the hidden psychological costs of choosing absolute short-term gratification versus absolute delayed gratification.

If you are litigating a massive case, it makes sense to optimize entirely for that 24-hour window and handle the fallout later. But if you live in that chronic, short-term survival state, your body and mind will face long-term detriment. On the flip side, constantly delaying your gratification turns life into a series of anxious steps toward a horizon you never actually reach. Learn why elite performance isn't about choosing one or the other—it's about building a sustainable balance between the present and the future.
