Today, we’re getting real about owning your stage. You know, that area in life where you’re killing it—what is it for you? But let’s also get honest: where are you falling short? Where are you settling when you should be stepping up?

I had one of those “aha” moments recently. After a marathon of travel, I went to a speaking event called "Owning the Stage." It hit me—I’m great in some areas, but there are places I could level up! Life isn’t meant to be easy if you want to be extraordinary. If you’re coasting through, you’re probably settling somewhere, and it’s time to get uncomfortable. Find those people who elevate you, challenge you, push you to be better—because that’s where the magic happens.

So here’s my challenge: where are you not owning the stage? Zoom out, take a hard look, and then get to work. Life is too short to settle for mediocre.
