399. AMMA — Why Sleep and Nutrition Are Secret Weapons for Scaling Firms

The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

The fastest way to scale your firm might not be more hours in the office — it’s the hours you spend sleeping and the fuel you put in your body.

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill reveal why law firm owners can’t afford to treat their health as an afterthought. From the science of sleep to the truth about nutrition, they share how optimizing your body is the ultimate unfair advantage for building a thriving practice.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why prioritizing health is a scaling strategy, not a luxury
• How sleep and nutrition directly impact your energy, focus, and decision-making as a leader
• Practical ways to build recovery and discipline into your daily routine without sacrificing your business
