What if your greatest leadership challenge isn’t your team — it’s you?

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, decorated U.S. Army veteran and CEO of Berry Law, John Berry returns to share the tough lessons, tactical systems, and mindset shifts that have shaped his evolution as a leader. From military missions to managing a fast-growing law firm, John opens up about what it really takes to earn trust, retain A-players, and lead with conviction — even when the pressure is on.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Why discipline, restraint, and reflection are essential to long-term leadership
How to recruit and retain top talent by scaling culture from the inside out
What it takes to become the kind of leader people choose to follow

If you’re ready to look in the mirror and lead at a higher level, this episode will show you how real change starts from within.
