“The Hidden Cost of Perfection: How Letting Go Unlocks True Growth”

Most law firm owners believe that pushing harder and doing more is the only way to grow—but in reality, perfectionism and burnout are quietly killing their profits.

In this powerful conversation, Moshe Amsel sits down with international lawyer and high-performance coach David Kubes to unpack how overwork, control, and unrealistic standards sabotage long-term success. Together, they reveal why letting go of “doing it all yourself” isn’t weakness—it’s leadership.
