Episode 409 — AMMA — Why You Feel Empty After Hitting Big Goals
What if hitting your biggest goals is the very thing that makes you feel lost?
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill unpack what happens after the win — when the goal you worked years to achieve doesn’t deliver the fulfillment you expected. From the emotional crash that follows major milestones to the deeper search for purpose that defines lasting success, Michael shares a personal perspective on how to realign your ambition with meaning before burnout takes over.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why achievement alone can’t sustain fulfillment and what your brain is really craving after success
- How to redefine progress so you stay challenged, inspired, and connected to a greater purpose
- What it takes to build a vision so big it reignites your drive and gives your goals meaning again
You’ve conquered the mountain. Now it’s time to discover what comes next.

Show Notes:
Success without purpose feels empty. “All it means is that you reached the mountaintop and realized all your problems didn’t go away.”
The pursuit is what gives life meaning. “Human beings are designed to strive for things — to always have something they’re working toward.”
Money stops motivating once your needs are met. “Maybe you don’t want a bigger house or a boat. Maybe you can already do all the things you want to do, so more money doesn’t change your life in any meaningful way.”
A bigger vision reignites your drive. “You’re done playing one game, and now you can start playing another.”
True impact comes from bringing others with you. “The most exciting thing for me now is how many people we can take with us — how many people we can help climb the mountain too.”
