The advice you respect most might be the exact thing keeping your firm stuck.
In this AMMA episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle one of the hardest questions in growth: whose advice do you actually follow? Sparked by a listener stuck between her own instinct to get ahead of AI and a respected managing partner telling her to "let everyone else be the guinea pig," Michael breaks down why waiting out a technological shift is a decision you'll regret, why the source of advice matters as much as the content, and why doing great work means nothing if you don't market it.
Here's what you'll learn:
Why waiting on AI is a permanent competitive disadvantage rather than a safe hold
How to tell when a mentor's advice fits your season and when it's holding you back
What it takes to turn great work into the visibility that actually wins the best cases
Your competitors aren't waiting for permission, and neither should you.
