1. Arnold Schwarzenegger


Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most well-known names in the entire world. From elite bodybuilder, to beloved actor, to successful politician, this is the man who knows exactly how to reinvent himself time and time again — and at the Summit, he’s going to show you how to do the same with your law firm.

Arnold is the youngest man to ever win the Mr. Olympia title, his first of many that catapulted him to the level of a sports icon. To this day, he’s considered to be the greatest bodybuilder that’s ever lived.

After successful marketing himself as a bodybuilder, Arnold decided to try his hand at acting — and as you probably know, he was quite successful. From engrossing audiences as the Terminator to making them laugh as the Kindergarten Cop, Arnold found a way to uniquely be himself on screen while embodying his characters.

But he didn’t stop there. After acting, Arnold decided to try his hand at politics — and as the 38th governor of California, most would say his run was quite successful.

Arnold is the king of reinvention and the poster child for what it means to follow your dreams. At the Summit, he’s going to show you how to do the same in your law firm.

He wasn’t called “Mr. Universe” for no reason. Don’t miss one of the biggest names in the world at the Summit this November.

2. David Goggins


So, you think you’re tough? Wait until you meet our next speaker.

David Goggins is a retired Navy SEAL and is the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training (including two Hell Weeks), the U.S. Army Ranger School, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training. He even graduated as an Enlisted Honor Man, an award for the Sailor with the highest grade point average for the enlisted class.

Today, he’s an accomplished endurance athlete, having completed over 60 ultramarathons and triathlons, setting new course records and regularly placing in the top five athletes. David once held the Guinness World Record for completing 4,030 pull-ups in 17 hours.

David is a highly sought-after public speaker, and he’s shared his inspirational story of radical transformation with hundreds of thousands of people all across the country, including professional sports teams and Fortune 500 companies.

The accolades aren’t what push David to be the best version of himself, however. For him, being number one isn’t what’s important. Instead, he wants to achieve his personal best for no one other than himself. He wants to know what he’s truly capable of, because physical and mental suffering are a journey of self-discovery. No other experience makes him feel more clear, more focused, or more alive.

If you want to discover what you’re truly capable of, look no further than David at the Summit. He’ll show you how to harden your mind, build a mental toughness, and find the courage to push past any barrier.

Get hard!

5. John Morgan


Whether you’ve seen his commercials on television or have driven past one of his billboards, there’s no denying that John Morgan is a force to be reckoned with in the legal industry.

The founder of America’s largest personal injury firm Morgan & Morgan lives by one very important slogan: For the People.

John built his firm from the ground up, and he has proven that he has what it takes to expand a law office all across the country. Because he’s established an impactful and resonant brand, he has the competitive advantage needed to succeed in the ever-crowded legal industry.

John likes to think of the legal industry as the jungle. In the jungle today, a lion will be born. That lion is the king of the jungle, simply because he or she is a lion. The same day in the same jungle, a sloth will be born. Because he’s a sloth, he’s automatically at a loss. All he can do is barely muster up enough energy to come down the tree, grab some berries, go to the bathroom, and go back up and go to sleep.

John Morgan has made it his mission to find the lions of the legal industry.

With over 800 lawyers located across America, Morgan & Morgan has proven its ability to fight to get clients everything they deserve and more. The law firm has recovered over $13 billion in all types of cases, but John and his firm are always searching for the next person to help while establishing longevity and sustainability in their practice.

If you’re ready to build the law firm of the future, John is the person who’s going to show you how to do it at the Summit.

6. Camille Vasquez


Did you watch any television this past year? If so, you likely heard about the infamous defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard — and the person who brought home a win for Depp is coming to the Summit.

Camille Vasquez was at the center of the case heard around the world this past spring, as she represented Johnny Depp in his viral defamation case against Amber Heard and became an overnight celebrity because of her involvement in the matter.

While some might have feared this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Camille was ready to get to work immediately. From gathering information to working with people close to the situation, Camille put her all into this case — all while millions of eyes watched her every move.

Being in the spotlight isn’t for everyone, but Camille didn’t bat an eye. In fact, she believes it made her work harder and double and triple check every detail to ensure a smooth, successful trial.

She soon found her success, both in the Depp trial and in her own professional life. She was deservedly named Partner at Brown Rudnick, and she’s already eager to get back to trying — and winning — high-stakes cases.

Camille is the prime example of staying cool under pressure, and she’s going to show you how to do the same at the Summit.

7. Jessica Mogill


Jessica Mogill is Crisp’s Head of Coaching Strategy. While she originally only planned to advise Crisp for 30 days, almost 10 years later, she’s helped the company grow to unimaginable heights.

On paper, Jessica is an industrial engineer. With a degree from Auburn University, Jessica got started in her career as an engineer in steel-toed boots and a hard hat.

When the time came for a career shift, she entered Crisp at the ground floor back in 2014. What was originally intended to be a 30-day advisory role to implement processes and structures to tame the madness of the fledgling business quickly turned into a long-term gig. Jessica soon contributed to Crisp’s first seven-figure revenue year and hasn’t looked back since.

Now, with over eight years under her belt at the award-winning organization, Jessica has developed a unique set of leadership and strategic skills, which she has used to take the company to new heights year after year.

This skill set now translates into guidance not only for the internal team, but also for Crisp Coach clients. As the Head of Coaching Strategy, Jessica works day-in and day-out to translate Crisp’s successful systems into repeatable processes for the top law firm owners across the nation to use within their own offices.

Jessica will show you how to ensure every team member is performing at their peak, how to empower them to communicate effectively, and how to create the most productive environment possible in your law firm.

8. Jesse Cole


Jesse Cole is the founder of Fans First Entertainment who owns and operates the Savannah Bananas, the baseball team that’s turning the sport upside down. What’s the difference between the Bananas and the rest? They make baseball fun.

Forget what you know about regular baseball, because the Savannah Bananas incorporate dancing, banana babies, and even kilts into the greatest game ever played. In Jesse’s words, “We are not your typical baseball team. We are different. We take chances. We toe the line. We test the rules. We challenge the way things are supposed to be.”

Believe it or not, there’s a method to the madness. Jesse believes that standing out is all about doing what other people won’t. The Bananas are completely focused on their fans first mentality. Everything they do has their fans’ best interests at heart.

That could also be because Jesse literally wrote the books on standing out called Find Your Yellow Tux: How to Be Successful by Standing Out and Fans First: Change the Game, Break the Rules, & Create an Unforgettable Experience.

In fact, the Savannah Bananas have gained so much momentum and attention that they’ve even earned their own mini series on ESPN+ entitled “Bananaland.”

There’s a reason this team sells out every single game and has a waiting list of over 40,000 people. Treat your law firm like Jesse has treated his baseball team and you will not fail. Expect the unexpected and embrace your uniqueness.
