The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill 425. Season 6 Finale: The Non-Negotiables of Elite Brands and People
The difference between those who scale and those who stall isn't talent. It's the willingness to act when every instinct says quit.
In the Season 6 finale of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill revisits the most powerful conversations from 2025. From David Kolbe's insights on understanding your instinctive strengths to James Amaro's blueprint for building accountability culture, James Lawrence's discipline in mastering discomfort, Verne Harnish's framework for scaling past plateaus, and Kat Cole's philosophy of relentless self-improvement, this episode distills the season’s most actionable wisdom into one comprehensive guide for growth.
Here's what you'll learn:
- Why understanding your conative strengths can prevent years of burnout and misalignment in your career and your team
- How deliberate discomfort and daily disciplines train your mind to refuse quitting when adversity hits
- What it takes to build an accountability culture that drives KPIs without sacrificing team morale or losing top talent
The leaders who dominate 2026 will be the ones who stopped waiting and started executing on what they already know they should be doing.
