The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill
364. How to Train Your Brain for Unbelievable Success
As we conclude celebrating five years of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, this Elite Athletes edition showcases the world-class performers who have redefined limits — mentally, physically, and professionally. These are the voices of champions who’ve trained in darkness, fought through failure, and built the mindset required to dominate on the world stage.
In this episode, we go beyond trophies and titles to uncover the discipline, resilience, and psychological mastery that separates the best from everyone else. Whether it’s breaking world records, surviving in isolation, or pushing through unimaginable pain, these athletes offer a window into what’s possible when greatness becomes non-negotiable.
This episode features:
-
Mark Beaumont: On why risk, adventure, and clarity of purpose matter more than comfort or certainty.
-
Colin O’Brady: On challenging the impossible — and growing through adversity, whether or not you succeed.
-
David Goggins: On building belief by choosing suffering, and how pain can become your greatest teacher.
-
Mat Fraser: On the compounding power of consistent habits — and how world champions optimize everything.
-
Tim Grover: On letting go of civility, mastering your dark side, and doing what winning demands.
If you want to understand what true grit, mental toughness, and elite-level focus really look like, this episode is your blueprint.
