383. AMMA — Why Comfort Will Quietly Destroy Your Law Firm


Listen Later

If everything feels “fine” at your firm, you might already be in trouble.

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle the quiet killer of growth: comfort. As we hit the halfway point of the year, many law firm owners start to coast — but that’s exactly when progress stalls. If your firm feels like it’s plateauing, your goals are slipping, or your team’s feedback just isn’t landing, this conversation will help you reset, refocus, and move forward with intention.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Why waiting for the perfect time to restart is keeping you stuck right where you are
  • How comfort creates blind spots that slowly stall your law firm's growth
  • What it takes to deliver feedback that inspires real change without sacrificing standards

  • Comfort is the enemy of progress. This episode is your wake-up call to get back in the cold plunge and keep pushing forward.
