Most of us can quickly identify what other people should do differently. Looking in the mirror? That’s usually a little harder.
In this episode of The Epiphany Effect, we explore Theodore Roosevelt’s humorous but deeply challenging quote:
“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.”
This conversation dives into the uncomfortable—but empowering—idea of ownership. Through personal stories, practical reflection, and a few laughs along the way, we explore how our habits, choices, and mindset often shape the outcomes we experience more than we realize.
You’ll hear stories about:
• The illusion of productivity and realizing distractions were stealing more time than expected
• Why building habits for your “best days” often leads to failure—and what to do instead
• How small shifts in ownership can create meaningful change in leadership, health, and everyday life
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✓ Why self-awareness is often the starting point for growth
✓ How taking ownership creates more control and less frustration
✓ Practical ways to build sustainable habits that work even on hard days
✓ Why progress matters more than perfection
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, frustrated with recurring challenges, or simply trying to become a better leader, parent, teammate, or version of yourself—this episode offers practical tools and reflective questions to help you move forward.
Because sometimes the person creating the biggest obstacle… is also the person most capable of changing the outcome.
