People would be a whole lot happier if they focused on their own lives and instead of trying to document their life through a camera to actually be physically present wherever they are.

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.

Crisp 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 Crisp, and today we're flipping the script for another special edition episode to get Michael's take on,

the systems that turn 60-hour work weeks into sustainable growth, how to evaluate lottery ticket cases without losing your sanity, and how to create

a practical playbook for aligning profit with purpose. A lot of times it's not even about you. I have found

that sometimes when you've met your needs, the thing that at least excites me is how many people

can you take with you? That's coming up on the Game Changing Attorney podcast.

Summit happening next month. But it's also, it is Q4 where the magic happens, right? Like this is

like in sports and in business. The fourth quarter, like a lot can happen in Q4. And, you know,

we talked about this even on previous podcasts. Like at the start of the year, what's your game plan for this year, that you already kind of planted out the year prior, like what you set out to do, like new year, new you, 2025 is going to be your year. And then we had kind of the mid-checkpoint, the end of Q2, saying, all right, we're about the halfway point, the 50-yard line.. Are you aligned what your targets are and are you on track for where you wanted to be in terms of your firm and your life and your health, et cetera? And, you know, a lot of times as we get to Q4, a lot of things are off track. Yep. Meaning that there's a lot of things that you wanted to go a certain way, but you did not

anticipate that you would have the obstacles that you would have, right? And this is true for pretty much everyone, including us, right? Like when we anticipate, you know, kind of project for the year ahead, there's certain things you want to do and things you want to achieve, but you don't know what all the roadblocks will be ahead of time. And you don't know what, you know, essentially what is a barrier that you

haven't experienced yet that you will experience? That's just life. Yes. And how you navigate

to that, maybe you've been extremely adaptable, resilient, and you've come out ahead. Maybe you're a bit
