When you got that dark energy and you remember all the doors that slammed on your face,

all the people that said you never win, that you never be successful, all the doubters, all the skeptics, all the naysayers, and you got that energy of saying, you know what?

Fuck those people. I'm about to prove them all wrong. And you're using that as fuel? Use whatever drives you.

I'm Michael Logel, founder and CEO of Crisp, the nation's number one law from growth company. I've built my business through practice, not theory. Chris started with just

$500 to my name and has grown to over eight figures in revenue over the last few years, earning a spot on the Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing private companies in America.

Our approach has been to take everything we've learned about generating massive growth within our own 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 innovative market leaders from the legal

industry and beyond to learn from those who thrive in the face of adversity, challenge

the status quo, and define what it means to be a true game changer.

This is Jessica, head of coaching strategy at Chris, and today we're flipping the script

for another special edition episode

to get Michael's take on, why the most successful entrepreneurs battle self-doubt and how they

overcome it, how to turn negative thoughts into powerful fuel for success even in your toughest moments,

and why your inner critic could be your greatest ally in driving you to the top.

The fact that you're having imposter syndrome is probably a good thing. You don't have the results yet. You don't have the proof yet. You have to continue to grow and evolve to where when you step in that room, you're no longer feeling it. And you know what's going to happen on the day that you don't feel that imposter syndrome? You will become one with the great ones. That's coming up on the Game Changing Attorney podcast.

Here we are again, Michael, A.MMA.

What's up, guys? I'm excited.

It's like, whoa.

You know, wherever they're at, maybe they're in the car, they hit the brakes. Maybe they're in the gym. They got fired up. A little jolt. You got to get jolted. Sometimes just have to get ready to go. Just wake up and be ready to go. Absolutely. You got to splash some water on your face. You've got to slap yourself a couple times. Get ready. I was just thinking like sometimes you know when you're around people and you just like, you just feel sluggish and they're like talking slow and they're moving slow and they're just the sloth in. Zootopia. Yeah, the sloth of DMV. It's like they're slow motion and you want to just be like, go. Hey, let's get

going. And you know what I think it is though? I think once you get used to a certain speed,

you know, in life, it's just what you get accustomed to. So I know there's going to be some people

that listen to this podcast at 1x speed. And there's going to be some people that listen to this podcast at 1.5x or 1.75 and they're just used to it and then maybe you listen to some podcasts at 2x even audiobooks. You know, I've listened to audiobooks at 2x speed and some people are like what, how do you even listen to that? But you get used to it and then when you get back down to 1x speed it seems like everyone's talking in slow motion. But I had, I won't name the gentleman, somebody who mentioned to me who listens to this podcast, and they said they actually listen to it at 0.75, okay? Because I'm like, Mike, you talk too fast. And I'm like, well, it's a good thing. Those settings exist. Because you can choose your speed, you're empowered with today's technology to basically decide how the pace of which you listen to a podcast or audiobook, it is entirely within your control. It is entirely up to you. Another speed to get used to is the track pad on Mac. Oh, man. You had to get that one all the way up. That's a little productivity hack.
