Best snack of the year. Did you know that the NFL, this is the most popular snack by NFL teams?

An NFL team consumes over 80,000 of these a season. The average team consumes over 4,000 of these a week.

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

from 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 we're doing something different today. Michael gets asked constantly,

what are you reading? What apps do you use? What's actually worth the money? So, we're answering all of it. From the books that changed his thinking to the tech that's running his life, these are Michael's favorite things of 2025. So this is my app of the year. And I guarantee you that if you're listening, you've never heard of this app. You can see all this data around your breathwork that is very, very insightful.

You can kind of get, like, advanced.

So it's nice.

So this has become, I think, the most used app on my phone.

That's coming up on the Game Changing Attorney podcast. What's up guys? This is Michael. I'm here with Jessica. We got a special edition episode because, you know, we sat down. We went a little Oprah this year and they asked me. They said, Mike, what are your favorite things?

I said, what kind of things?

And they said, well, I don't know. What's the best book you read this year? The best movie you saw? The best gadget, the best app, et cetera. And I was like, man, you guys think anyone even gives a shit about any of this? And they said, yes. So we put together this list. And that's what we're going to go through today on the podcast, the things from this year that I enjoyed the brought some sort of value to my life that may be

helpful to you. There are no affiliate links. I'm not linking to my Amazon store or whatever. We don't

even have one. We're going to publish a blog post that has all this stuff afterwards as well.

If you're interested in checking out any of this, it's useful to you but honestly if you know I don't really care if you get it or not this is just going to be talking about things that I've enjoyed from this year and we'll go down the list maybe we'll come up with something that's not even on this list so let's kick it off just let's see I got this list in me. The first thing they asked me was like, favorite business book. And I will say, you know, in terms of business books, I felt to a large extent I felt I've read all of them. And I would be constantly, like just over the last like, I don't know, almost 15 years, every time we go anywhere, whether we're like in town, whether we're on vacation anywhere, I'm always reading some sort of business book. And, you know, you get through all of them. And I'm saying this kind of like hyperbole. Correct. You kind of get like, all right. I feel like I've heard and read the same thing over and over again.
