Today, host Greg McCollum brings his hard-earned experience to the table in this powerful episode about adapting and refining personal routines for law firm success and life balance. He exposes the myths that keep criminal defense lawyers underpaid and overworked, including the belief that “there’s no money” in criminal defense work, drawing on decades spent building a seven-figure practice.
Greg reveals how routines—often inherited or neglected—can quietly determine a lawyer’s long-term success. He offers practical strategies for reducing daily chaos, increasing profitability, and carving out genuine free time. Listeners will discover why incremental changes, not drastic overhauls, are the real key to sustainable growth.
If you're ready to rise above stress and finally break through that income ceiling, this episode is a must-listen.
