    Two Personalities, One Partnership: The Luhrsen Goldberg Story

    In 2016, Christina Goldberg left town for a legal conference with one law partner and came home with another. Her partnership had collapsed almost overnight.

Ten years later, Luhrsen Goldberg is a nine-person personal injury and family law firm. Chris sits down with both managing partners to talk about turning a crisis into a company. They cover building a client pipeline from scratch and why two very different personalities make one strong partnership.

    Mitch Lomazov on Energy, Generations, and Coaching the Whole Person

    Mitch Lomazov coaches high performers, the people so excellent at their craft that performance, longevity, and the rest of life quietly slip to the back burner. In this episode of Stir, Mitch joins Chris Williams to talk about why sustainability beats raw output, and why financial results show up as a byproduct rather than the goal. The conversation runs through energy management and the four buckets of work Mitch uses to map tasks to natural focus windows, the myth of rise-and-grind for night owls, and how to figure out when you actually do your best thinking. Mitch also breaks down the generational gap in the workplace, arguing that what happened to a person between ages 5 and 15 explains far more about how they show up than any label. Along the way Mitch shares his path from an accounting and finance degree to the keynote stage and an executive pastor role, why that numbers background gives him an edge, building a speech therapy clinic with his wife during the pandemic, and the idea that a no is a yes to something else, and a yes is a no to everything else.

Through Courageous Consulting, Steve now helps other entrepreneurs navigate the same leadership gaps, people challenges, and growth plateaus he once faced himself.
