    46. Don't Ignore Your Wake-Up Call — Say Yes to the Scary Thing

    If you actually accept the scary thing — the call — you get the rewards you want and deserve. 🎥  Follow along for real stories, mindset shifts, and the weekly fuel to Direct Your Life: tonysuriano.com/newsletter   In this episode, I break down Your Wake-Up Call, the moment in every great life story where you're handed a choice: stay the same… or step into the unknown. The call isn't supposed to feel safe. In fact, if it doesn't terrify you a little, it's probably not your call.   I talk about the real reason most people refuse the call, how your brain tricks you into staying comfortable, and why the life you want always sits on the other side of the thing you don't feel ready for. I also share a personal moment from my own journey — a time where saying yes to something that scared the hell out of me nearly broke me… but ultimately made me bulletproof.   If you've been waiting for a sign, this episode is the sign. Your catalyst. Your invitation to stop drifting and start directing.   Say yes to the call. Even when it shakes you. Especially when it shakes you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌐 To book Tony for speaking, coaching, or creative directing, visit: TonySuriano.com/speaker 🧠 Join Our Mastermind Community: Monthly LIVE Coaching & Private Group 📺 YouTube: @TonySuriano 📸 Instagram: @TonySuriano 📘 Facebook: @TonySuriano ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⭐️ Don't forget to comment, leave a review/rating, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it!   Thank you for tuning in!

    45. The Ordinary World Trap (and How to Escape It)

    In this episode, I break down one of the most important steps in taking back control of your story—understanding your world.   Before you can "Direct Your Life," you have to know where you're standing in it. I compare life to filmmaking and reveal the different roles we all play: the extra who blends into the background, the stand-in who practices life but doesn't live it, and the actor who finally steps into the scene. But the goal is to become the director—the one who takes ownership, calls the shots, and designs the story on purpose.   I also share an excerpt from my upcoming book, Direct Your Life or Someone Else Will, where I use the acronym O.R.D.I.N.A.R.Y. to describe the mindset that keeps people stuck on autopilot. This one's all about awareness, honesty, and actually implementing what you've been learning—because consuming content without creating change is the fastest way to stay ordinary.   If you've been drifting, this is your wake-up call to audit your world, rewrite your script, and start calling "Action."   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💌  If you want weekly fuel to help you direct your life, join my free newsletter.
