0:00.0	growth is change and changes growth and with any business any law firm over the years you're going to evolve how you started you know on day one and what the firm look like then is going to be very different than perhaps what the firm looks like now and perhaps what the firm looks like 10 years from now and hopefully you're learning things and hopefully you're evolving and improving,
0:21.6	but not everybody evolves and improves.
0:29.4	I'm Michael Mogul, founder and CEO of Crisp, the nation's number one law from growth
0:33.5	company. I've built my business through practice, not theory. Crisp started with just
0:37.7	$500 to my name and has grown to over eight figures in revenue over the last few years,
0:42.3	earning a spot on the Inc 500 list of the fastest growing private companies in America. Our approach
0:47.2	has been to take everything we've learned about generating massive growth within our own
0:50.6	organization and help the country's most ambitious and committed law firm owners do the same for theirs. In each episode of this podcast, I sit down with

1:27.6	They have conversations all the time about, look, guys, we need to get better at customer
1:31.5	service and client experience. We need to improve our intake. We need to become better marketers.
1:35.1	We need to become better trial attorneys. Like, those things need to happen. And if those things
1:41.3	don't happen, unfortunately, I can't guarantee that we're going to have a place for people that don't level up with the organization.
1:46.4	And it's not anything personal.
1:48.1	It's just more so the fact that we all need to get better.
1:52.1	That's coming up on the Game Changing Attorney podcast.
2:04.1	Here we are. Welcome back to another AMMA.
