From training a team to solve its own problems to enforcing adherence to a process everyone claims to support, this episode unpacks why solving fires as they come keeps a firm from ever building the systems that prevent them.

The instinct that built your practice from scratch is the same instinct that's keeping it dependent on you.

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Sam Goodner, a former officer in the Swiss Special Forces who went on to build and sell multiple technology companies, including Catapult Systems and Flash Parking.

He came back to find his team running things better without him, and realized he'd been the bottleneck all along. Now the author of Like Clockwork: Run Your Business with Swiss Army Precision, Sam breaks down how founders can build a practice that runs independently of them, from staging decision rights to designing a first day that sets the tone for years.

Most entrepreneurs are surrounded by people who love them and still have no idea what they're going through.

In this AMMA episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill unpack why building a business can feel so lonely, even when you're surrounded by people who care about you. They answer three listener questions: how to close the gap with a spouse who can't fully relate, why chasing a challenge outside the business keeps you sharper inside it, and why family members and peers are rarely equipped to give meaningful advice. Michael's advice is simple: stop trying to get people to understand, and go find people who already do.

Here's what you'll learn:

Feeling isolated right now doesn't mean something's wrong. You just haven't found your people yet.
