Momentum isn’t magic—it’s movement over time. In this episode, Mikel unpacks how small, unseen choices compound into lasting momentum.
Momentum is one of the most overused words in leadership and creativity—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Mikel shares why momentum doesn’t just “show up”—it’s built through consistent, unseen choices over time. From washing dishes at 14 to launching businesses as a teen, he reflects on the small, ordinary acts that compounded into the movement he experiences today. Pulling from Jim Collins’ Good to Great and Proverbs 13:4, Mikel challenges listeners to stop waiting for inspiration and start moving. Momentum isn’t borrowed—it’s built by discipline, diligence, and the daily decision to keep going.
