Episode 404 — AMMA — Why Playing It Safe Is the Most Dangerous Strategy
What if the only thing standing between you and the next level is the courage to take one more risk?
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill and Jessica Mogill confront the real drivers behind success, risk, and sacrifice. As the 2025 Game Changers Summit approaches, they explore why some firm owners seem lucky while others stay stuck, and what it actually means to bet on yourself when the outcome is uncertain. This episode challenges every assumption about safety, comfort, and what it takes to build something truly exceptional.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why the firms that appear lucky are often the ones making the most courageous long-term bets
- How to break free from herd mentality and stand out in even the most competitive markets
- What it takes to achieve exceptional results without waiting for perfect timing or permission

Show Notes:
Luck favors the bold. “The people who seem lucky are usually the ones taking the biggest risks and doing the hardest work.”
Success requires courage. “Most firm owners stop betting on themselves after they start their practice — and that’s exactly where growth ends.”
Standing out takes strategy. “If you do the same things as everyone else, the best result you can get is the one they’re already getting.”
Playing it safe is the real risk. “The firms that follow the herd are the ones that quietly fall behind.”
Exceptional results come with a price. “Everyone wants to win big, but very few are willing to make the sacrifices that success demands.”
