What if the biggest obstacle to growing your business is… you? Chris Keller, founder of Keller Swan Injury Attorneys, shares in-depth about the wake-up call that transformed his law firm, and as a result, his life. From feeling overwhelmed and overworked to scaling a multi-state law firm with over 80 employees, Chris shares what changed when he stopped trying to do it all and started investing in discipline, systems, and his own well-being.
In this candid conversation, Chris explains how redefining his mindset around leadership, health, and team culture helped him unlock exponential growth, both personally and professionally. They talk Ironman and intake systems, hiring better lawyers than yourself, and why showing up matters more than writing checks. If you’re a lawyer juggling cases and chaos or a business owner stuck in the weeds, this episode offers a compelling look at what’s possible when you get out of your own way.
Here’s what we discuss in this episode:
💼 Law firm growth through mindset and delegation
🧠 Why business success starts with mental health
🏃♂️ Ironman, 5AM routines, and the discipline behind transformation
👨👩👧👦 Honoring family legacy through meaningful community work
