What does it really take to shatter the boundaries of human endurance?

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down once again with James Lawrence — the unstoppable force better known as the Iron Cowboy. Renowned for doing what most would call impossible, James made headlines by completing 50 Ironmans in 50 days across all 50 states and then pushed the bar even higher with his legendary Conquer 100 challenge.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

How to build unshakable systems that eliminate decision fatigue — so discipline becomes automatic and success becomes your default
Why doing the hard, uncomfortable things you’d rather avoid is the fastest way to build mental toughness and bulletproof yourself against adversity
How to turn personal wins into powerful mentorship — transforming your achievements into growth engines for your team and fulfillment for you

James is more than an elite endurance athlete — he’s a master of mental grit and discipline. As the Iron Cowboy, he’s not just defying limits; he’s redefining what’s possible through sheer resilience and an unbreakable mindset. Be sure to check out James Lawrence’s powerful new book, Iron Hope — a raw, inspiring look into the mindset, struggles, and triumphs behind his most audacious challenges and a blueprint for pushing past your own perceived limits.
