Episode 421 — AMMA — Scaling Your Firm Starts With the Decisions You’re Afraid to Make
What if the hardest years of your life turned out to be the ones that made you unstoppable?
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill break down why your greatest advantage is not your wins but the wisdom you have gained along the way. Drawing on Warren Buffett’s final shareholder letter, he explains how reflection, long-term thinking, and the ability to navigate uncertainty shape the leaders who endure. Whether this year felt like a breakthrough or a struggle, you will see why your future can still be greater than your past.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why your setbacks, mistakes, and “learning years” compound into your most valuable advantage
- How to think beyond the next month or quarter and make decisions that hold up years from now
- What it takes to stop punishing your past self, extract the lesson, and move forward with clarity
If you’re ready to enter the next year wiser, stronger, and more intentional, this episode shows you how.

Show Notes:
Your past does not hold you back. It prepares you. “Do not beat yourself up over past mistakes. Take the lesson and move on.”
Wisdom is what compounds. “If you took away everything else, the knowledge and the lessons would still be the most valuable thing I have.”
Not every year will look like progress. “Some years are winning years. Some years are learning years. Maybe this was a learning year for you.”
Growth requires distance. “We used to think week to week, then month to month. Now we think in five or ten-year windows.”
Leadership is measured by what you can withstand. “Your ability to sit with discomfort and uncertainty is what determines your effectiveness as a leader.”
Unclear finish lines wear people down. “Imagine running without being told when you will stop. That uncertainty is the reality for most entrepreneurs.”
You did the best you could with what you knew. “Maybe it was not the right decision, but you made it with the information you had. Now you are wiser, and it is time to move on.”
