What does it take to build lasting success in law, business, and life?
In this episode of Care Sandwich, host Margarita Eberline, founder of Marketing Boss, sits down with Michael Alder, founder and trial attorney at Alder Law, to explore the mindset, discipline, and resilience behind his journey from starting a personal injury law practice out of his home to building a highly successful legal career.
Michael shares why he intentionally challenges himself to do hard things, how failure can become an essential part of growth, and why consistently doing what you don’t feel like doing can transform both your professional and personal life.
The conversation also explores the power of routines, stepping outside your comfort zone, managing stress, building meaningful relationships, and helping others without expecting anything in return.
