Legal Grounds | Conversations on Life, Leadership & Law
After over three decades in the legal-trenches, Mike Bassett has learned to appreciate two things: good conversation & good coffee.
Legal Grounds is an ongoing series of interviews with the people who are shaping our world - legal or otherwise. Witty, irreverent, & always thoughtful, these brief discussions fall somewhere between “Night Court” & Hopper’s “Nighthawks At The Diner”.
With that in mind, we promise your coffee will still be warm when the podcast is done.

Legal Grounds | Joe Bogdan On Relinquishing & Relearning Leadership, Why Better has No Finish-Line, and Using Small Transitions to Help Us Adapt to Larger Changes
While I know there isn’t any science to back it up, somewhere in my 30’s I remember hearing the “Fact” that if you could do something for 30 days straight then - BOOM - it’s a habit.
A sort of accelerated version of ‘practice makes perfect’.
In reality, it’s often the spaces, people, and organizations we find ourselves immersed in that slowly but inevitably shape how we interact with the world.
But as my guest this week reminds listeners, when leaders experience major transitions, we need to remember that a lot of what we’ve learned no longer works.
Joe Bogdan is the outgoing Chief of Enlisted Force Development for the United States Air Force, and founder of Waypoint Front Solutions.
After 24 years of service he is retiring in September of 2024, but true to form, this transition is one Joe has been planning for a long time.
This week he sits down with Mike to discuss what it looks like to have to give up some of the leadership-tools you’ve perfected for ones you never had to consider, why we need to see the small transitions is practice for the larger ones, and the danger of losing ourselves to our accomplishments.
