EP 62: The Weekly Mile | The Truth Behind Inspiration

Most people wait around for inspiration, hoping it will strike like lightning. But the truth? Real inspiration isn’t something you stumble into—it’s something you build.

In this episode of The Take A Step Podcast, Josh unpacks what he calls the two essential ingredients of true inspiration: storytelling and proven action.

First, you’ve got to tell a story powerful enough for others to see themselves in it. A story that stirs something in their hearts and makes them believe change is possible. But a story without action? That’s just talk. To inspire someone, you’ve got to back it up with the steps you’ve actually taken—proving that discipline and consistency matter far more than a temporary burst of motivation.

Josh challenges you to stop chasing the quick fix of motivational highs and instead embrace the daily grind of purposeful action. Because when you combine a story worth telling with a life that shows evidence of action, you don’t just inspire others—you set a standard for how to live.

If you’ve ever wondered why motivation fades, or how to actually become the kind of man who inspires others, this episode will give you clarity—and a push to start walking it out today.

Take a step. Tell your story. Live your actions.
