45. The Ordinary World Trap (and How to Escape It) In this episode, I break down one of the most important steps in taking back control of your story—understanding your world. Before you can “Direct Your Life,” you have to know where you’re standing in it. I compare life to filmmaking and reveal the different roles we all play: the extra who blends into the background, the stand-in who practices life but doesn’t live it, and the actor who finally steps into the scene. But the goal is to become the director—the one who takes ownership, calls the shots, and designs the story on purpose. I also share an excerpt from my upcoming book, Direct Your Life or Someone Else Will, where I use the acronym O.R.D.I.N.A.R.Y. to describe the mindset that keeps people stuck on autopilot. This one’s all about awareness, honesty, and actually implementing what you’ve been learning—because consuming content without creating change is the fastest way to stay ordinary. If you’ve been drifting, this is your wake-up call to audit your world, rewrite your script, and start calling “Action.” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💌 If you want weekly fuel to help you direct your life, join my free newsletter.

43. What’s Your Opening Image? (And Why It Matters Right Now) 10/21/2025

43. What’s Your Opening Image? (And Why It Matters Right Now) 🎬 If your life was a movie… what would the first scene look like? In filmmaking, we call this the Opening Image—the very first shot that sets the tone for the entire story. It’s where the character begins… and it matters more than most people realize. In this episode, I break down how your real-life opening image can reveal exactly where you are—and why that’s the most powerful place to start. I share stories from my past, why we get stuck, and what it really means to be present with who you are right now. You’ll hear: – How to identify your true starting point – Why silent quitting is more common than we think (and how to snap out of it) – 3 simple tools to reconnect with yourself, including one that might feel silly—but works every time – A question to ask someone you trust that can change everything Whether you’re feeling inspired, stuck, or just ready for a reset—this episode will help you find clarity and momentum again. 🎬 Because the Opening Image isn’t where the story ends—it’s where it begins. 🏁 Director’s Challenge: Take 5 minutes today. → Look yourself in the mirror. Really look. → Or ask someone you trust: “If my life was a movie… what would the opening image look like right now?” → Or write it out like a script. See yourself clearly—and start from there. Because awareness is the gateway. And every great story starts with a powerful opening image. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👉 Follow along for real stories, mindset shifts, and the weekly fuel to Direct Your Life: 🎯 📘 Be the first to know when my new book Direct Your Life Or Someone Else Will drops! → 🧠 — Monthly LIVE Coaching & Private Group 📺 📸 📘 🌐 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⭐️ If this landed with you, please take 20 seconds to .
