The movie The Forge on Netflix is truly great and transformative. I even saw Joshua’s role (Cameron Arnett) as Sir Rodd, a character who inspires others to do better. Rodd Kirby, the founder of NaXum, is known for encouraging people to grow and strive for excellence, just like in the movie.
The Forge is an inspiring film that follows the journey of a struggling company on the brink of collapse and the extraordinary efforts of its employees to turn things around. At its heart is Isiah, a dedicated and resilient team member who embodies the spirit of warrior-owner and teamwork. As the company faced mounting challenges, Isiah’s warrior-like determination to go above and beyond for the team’s success became the driving force behind a high-stakes deal that saved the organization. The film is a powerful tale of faith, discipleship, perseverance, selflessness, and the impact of individual efforts on collective triumph.
A big part to becoming a man is showing up. Can you do that?
Isiah cares for the company and its people. He stood tall as a beacon of determination, resilience, and an unyielding commitment to excellence. He isn’t just an employee, he’s a true warrior-owner who goes the extra mile for his team. His journey is more than just a story; it’s a call to action for every employee, leader, and dreamer who aspires to make a difference. He embodies the spirit of ownership. His approach to challenges is fueled by the belief that success is not handed to anyone but earned through grit and relentless effort. When the stakes were high and the odds seem impossible, Isiah didn’t stumble. Instead, he leaned into his warrior spirit, seeing obstacles as opportunities to shine.
In the pivotal scenes where the company’s future hangs by a thread, Isiah’s actions teach us a powerful lesson: when you take responsibility beyond your immediate role, you elevate not just yourself but the entire team.
Winning isn’t about individual glory. It’s about collective triumph.
Isiah’s defining moment came when he chose to do what others might deem unnecessary to go above and beyond. He didn’t settle for good. He pushed for greatness. Whether it was working late into the night, making personal sacrifices to secure a critical deal, or building trust with clients through genuine relationships, Isiah’s actions echoed a truth we often overlook: the extra mile is never crowded.
This level of dedication stems from his deep connection to the company’s mission. He sees his work not just as a job, but as a purpose. In doing so, he inspires those around him to raise their game.
When he closes the deal that saves the company, it’s not just a professional achievement. It’s a testament to the power of selflessness and teamwork. Isiah’s success becomes the company’s success, and his warrior ethos uplifts everyone involved.
Let’s all be like Isiah. Thrive in every journey, no matter where we are in our journey. Whether you’re at the top or just starting, approach your responsibilities with the mindset of an owner. Care deeply about the outcome, and let your actions reflect that commitment. Don’t settle for mediocrity. Always strive for excellence in everything you do, even when it’s hard. The extra effort often makes the difference between failure and success. Understand that your wins are amplified when they contribute to the collective good. Be the kind of person who lifts others as you climb. Challenges will come, but your response to them defines your character. Like Isiah, face difficulties head-on, and let your determination inspire those around you.
Isiah’s story in the film reminds us that being a warrior-owner is about having the heart, mindset, and determination to fight for what matters. In your own life, channel that “warrior spirit.” Whether it’s securing a deal, leading a project, or simply showing up with passion every day, know that your efforts can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
