In this episode of The Happy Lawyer Podcast, I sit down with Mike Morse, the visionary behind one of America’s largest personal injury law firms—valued at over $300 million. Mike shares his journey from a struggling practitioner to building a wildly profitable and predictable business, thanks to discovering the EOS/Traction framework.
We dig into:
- How Mike Found Traction – and why it was the turning point for scaling his firm without burning out.
- The Fireproof Model – the five-step system from his bestselling book, Fireproof: A Five-Step Model to Take Your Law Firm from Unpredictable to Wildly Profitable.
- Why Lawyers Struggle with Time and Money – and the mental traps that keep them from breaking through.
- The Delegation Problem – why lawyers are notoriously bad at it, and how to finally let go of the work that’s holding you back.
- The books that inspire better leadership and living, including Shine by Gino Wickman, Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy, and Die with Zero by Bill Perkins — and how their lessons connect to running a thriving law firm.
If you’ve ever felt like there’s never enough time, money, or bandwidth to grow your firm, this episode will challenge the way you think about leadership, systems, and your role as an owner.
