Margin And The Mississippi Mafia

'Margin is the space between our load and our limits. It's related to our reserves and resilience.'

In the late 80s, police were dispatched to investigate why thousands of VHS cassettes were scattered on highways around Jackson, Mississippi. That started a series of events that threatened the most powerful people in town and ended a mom and pop business. Without margin, small businesses — including small law firms — can’t survive.
