If everything crosses your desk, there will be no growth.

Most law firm owners are taught to think in trade-offs.

Profit OR culture. Growth OR quality. Efficiency OR people.

But what if that’s exactly the thinking keeping firms stuck?

A different lens is gaining traction: The AND Approach.

It challenges the idea that growth requires sacrifice—and instead explores how law firms can build:

✔ Profit AND culture
✔ Growth AND quality
✔ Strong systems AND strong relationships
✔ Scale AND freedom

In this article, published today in Law 360, we unpack how “either/or” thinking quietly limits decision-making inside law firms—and what shifts when leaders start designing for both outcomes instead of choosing between them.

If you’ve ever felt like growth comes with hidden costs, this perspective may resonate.

Discover the AND Approach to law firm growth—how leading firms replace false trade-offs with systems that improve profitability, culture, and efficiency.

My mom tried to teach me this in my 20s. I finally listened.

Gary's mother tried to teach him to enjoy the journey back in his 20s. Decades later he finally applies it: he can't control how many books sell — only that he savors every step forward.

I was held back in grade four for my reading. This week I'm launching my fourth book.

I share that not to brag, but because someone out there has been told they're behind, slow, not the "smart one." That label is not your ceiling. Where you start is not where you finish.

Most people think you can have one thing OR the other. I draw a red line through that.

Family or career. Money or meaning. Growth or balance. The whole "or" framing is a trap. With intention and the right structure, you stop trading one good thing away for another.

My mom tried to teach me this in my twenties. I finally listened decades later.

Enjoy the journey. I spent years chasing the next milestone, sure that arrival was where the satisfaction lived. It wasn't. The work, the people, the building, that's the good part. Don't wait to enjoy it.

What did you learn late that someone tried to tell you early?

You can't write four books if you're a perfectionist.

I know, because I'm a recovering one. Perfectionism feels like high standards but it's really just fear wearing a nicer outfit. Done and shared beats perfect and hidden every single time. Four books taught me that.
