382. What It Takes to Build a $100M Legal Business
You don’t scale by working harder. You scale by thinking bigger and leading better.
In this special episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, we’re re-airing a powerful conversation between Crisp Founder & CEO Michael Mogill and Chris Dreyer of the Personal Injury Mastermind Podcast. Together, they unpack what it truly takes to grow a legal business through chaos, complexity, and scale to reach nine figures. Michael shares the mindset, systems, and personal discipline that allowed him to help over 1,000 law firms grow by $1M each, and now he’s setting his sights on creating a $100B impact across the legal industry.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
Why most law firms stall out at seven figures (and how to break through)
-
How to make the leap from “comfortable” to category leader
-
What it takes to build and recruit a high-performance team that scales with you
If you want to build something truly meaningful, this episode is your roadmap to what’s next.
