Loud doesn’t equal lasting. In this episode, Mikel reminds us that true influence isn’t built on noise or virality—it’s built on trust, fruit, and consistency
Influence has been around since the beginning of time, but in today’s digital age it’s louder and more visible than ever. In this powerful Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel challenges us not to confuse noise with value. From the Kardashians to viral trends, he points out how culture often equates volume with worth—when real influence is proven through consistency, fruit, and trust. Citing Simon Sinek’s definition of leadership and Matthew 7:20, he reminds us that fruit takes time to grow, and so does true influence. This episode is a call to shift from chasing virality to building trust—with God, with others, and with your calling.

Influence has always existed, but in today’s digital world it’s louder than ever. Mikel warns us not to confuse volume with value—viral trends may make noise, but they don’t equal lasting influence. True influence is measured in trust, fruit, and consistency.
Jesus modeled this kind of influence by speaking with authority that matched His life. Simon Sinek defines leadership as taking care of those in your charge, and Matthew 7:20 reminds us that “by their fruit, you will recognize them.” Fruit takes time to grow, and so does true influence. Today, Mikel challenges us to stop chasing noise and instead build trust—with God, with others, and with the work He’s called us to.
