407. AMMA — Why Playing It Safe Is the Most Dangerous Strategy


Listen Later

What if the only thing standing between you and the next level is the courage to take one more risk?

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill and Jessica Mogill confront the real drivers behind success, risk, and sacrifice. As the 2025 Game Changers Summit approaches, they explore why some firm owners seem lucky while others stay stuck, and what it actually means to bet on yourself when the outcome is uncertain. This episode challenges every assumption about safety, comfort, and what it takes to build something truly exceptional.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why the firms that appear lucky are often the ones making the most courageous long-term bets
  • How to break free from herd mentality and stand out in even the most competitive markets
  • What it takes to achieve exceptional results without waiting for perfect timing or permission

  • If you are ready to stop playing it safe, this episode will show you what happens when you finally bet on yourself.
