411. AMMA — What to Do When Everyone Wants Something From You

The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

Trust isn’t automatic. You have to earn it in business, in leadership, and at home.

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle three listener questions about trust, boundaries, and values. From finding the right executive assistant to protecting your peace as your success grows, and even raising kids who understand the value of hard work, they share the practical systems and mindset shifts that help leaders thrive both at work and at home.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to vet, hire, and build trust with an executive assistant who protects your time instead of draining it
• Why success can make genuine relationships harder to spot, and how to keep your circle strong and authentic
• The simple lessons and habits that prevent your kids from becoming entitled — even when they grow up with abundance

Real growth tests more than your business. It reveals your values and your character.
