374. You're Not Too Late: Joe Fried on Finding Purpose in Law [Encore Edition]
Manage episode 490480459 series 2648641
What if the biggest cases — and the biggest changes — come from choosing courage over comfort?
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with nationally renowned trucking attorney Joe Fried, who shares how he transformed tragedy into purpose, built a hyper-specialized practice from scratch, and turned fear into fuel. From walking away from a thriving law practice overnight to redefining how truck accident cases are tried and taught, Joe opens up about what it means to truly bet on yourself — and why success without service is never enough.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Why fear, not confidence, has been the driving force behind Joe’s success
How to find your niche, stand out, and lead with substance
What it takes to make your work a calling, not just a career
This is your invitation to play bigger, dig deeper, and leave the profession better than you found it.
