Excellence costs something—but mediocrity costs more. In this episode, Mikel calls leaders to choose discipline over comfort and purpose over preference.
Excellence isn’t a personality—it’s a decision. In this motivating episode of Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel talks about the tension between comfort and calling, reminding us that ease is the enemy of excellence. He shares how excellence demands extra—attention, effort, and heart—and how when we lower the bar, we rob others of the example they need to rise. Drawing from Colossians 3:23, Mikel urges listeners to work with all their hearts, not for applause but for God. This episode challenges you to elevate your standard, resist complacency, and remember that excellence honors God and inspires people.

Ease is the enemy of excellence. Mikel explains that while ease feels good, it lowers the standard of leadership and growth. Excellence demands extra—attention, care, and consistency.
He quotes Colossians 3:23, reminding us to work with all our heart as unto the Lord. When we lead with excellence, we honor God and inspire others to do the same. Today’s challenge: identify one area you’ve settled for “good enough” and raise the bar.
