Why Most Lawyers Stay Stuck (And How to Break Free)

July 15, 2025

In this high-energy episode of the Legal Edge Coaching Podcast, Trevor White and Shane Smith dive deep into why most law firm owners feel stuck in a cycle of overwork and undergrowth—and how to finally break free. They share personal stories, including Shane’s wife’s Hello Kitty birthday bash, and Trevor’s unique 4th of July experiences in Hawaii. But the heart of the episode is about the Legal Edge Summit—a transformative 2-day experience that gives lawyers a tactical "map" to build the life and firm they actually want.


You’ll learn:


Why most goals fail (and how to fix it)


How “fantasy goals” sabotage real growth


Why working harder isn’t the answer—and what to do instead


How to structure your year, month, and week for real results


Why your business, body, and family life are all connected


The power of brutal honesty, accountability, and data


Whether you're crushing it or barely surviving, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you measure progress and success—and give you a system to finally win the "Impossible Game."
