The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill 384. Break the Mold: The Blueprint for Radical Reinvention With Todd Herman [Encore Edition]
What if the key to peak performance wasn’t being more of yourself but becoming someone else entirely?
In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with performance coach and best-selling author Todd Herman to explore the transformative power of alter egos. Todd unpacks how adopting a secret identity can unlock new levels of confidence, clarity, and leadership — especially when your current mindset is holding you back. Drawing from decades of experience with elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and top performers, he shares actionable strategies for becoming the version of yourself that your goals require.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
Why authenticity is misunderstood — and how alter egos can reveal your truest self
-
The science behind “enclothed cognition” and using totems to activate elite traits
-
How to spot the internal enemies sabotaging your performance and reframe them with intention
You don’t need to fake it. You just need to become the version of you that gets the job done.
