Ruthlessly Committed: What to Do When Your Plan Gets Wrecked
Tue Feb 03 2026
Trevor goes solo when Shane can’t make the episode because of major East Coast storms and a disrupted schedule and uses it to hit a bigger point: nothing ever goes as planned inside your firm.
This episode is a direct gut check for law firm owners. When something derails your day, a client emergency, staff issue, market shift, or “weather” you didn’t see coming, do you pivot and keep moving, or do you use it as the excuse to stall?
Trevor breaks down what “ruthless commitment” actually looks like, why most people only “want success” when it’s convenient, and the uncomfortable truth about why so many firms stay stuck at the same level for years. He also calls out the skills gap that holds many attorneys back: being great at law but underprepared to run a real business with systems, culture, and repeatable processes.
If you want to scale, this is your reminder that motivation is not the answer. Commitment is.
