🎬 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.
