373. AMMA — Your Firm's Biggest Threat: Too Many Good Ideas

The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

What if your biggest leadership challenge isn’t deciding what to do, but when to do it?

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill shares personal stories and answers listener questions about tough decisions, team feedback, and betting big on your vision. From a solo weekend with his kids to making high-stakes calls at work, Michael pulls back the curtain on how he thinks through pressure, risk, and long-term impact.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why speed and decisiveness are only advantages when paired with execution

• How to weigh input from others — and still make the final call yourself

• What it takes to scale sustainably without losing your mind

You make the decision. Don’t let someone else make it for you.
