Ownership unlocks growth. In this episode, Mikel explains how taking responsibility—even when it’s not your fault—builds integrity, influence, and momentum.
If you don’t own it, you can’t grow it. In this high-impact Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel breaks down why ownership is one of the most important marks of a true leader. He explains that blame, deflection, and delay will always keep you stuck, but taking responsibility—especially when it’s uncomfortable—restores power and earns trust. Drawing from Galatians 6:5, he reminds us that each person should carry their own load and that leaders never say, “That’s not my problem.” This episode challenges you to identify where you’ve been dodging responsibility and choose to own it so growth can follow.

If you don’t own it, you can’t grow it. Mikel challenges leaders to stop blaming, deflecting, and delaying—and instead take full ownership, even when something isn’t directly their fault. Ownership unlocks influence and integrity, while excuses keep you stuck.
He shares that true leaders never say, “That’s not my problem,” but instead ask, “What part can I play in the solution?” Galatians 6:5 reminds us that each of us should carry our own load. Today’s challenge: identify one area where you’ve been dodging responsibility, own it fully, and watch growth follow.
