COMMITTED & NOT ATTACHED
This issue of The Grip shows mission-driven founders how to turn “being wrong” into an advantage. Instead of defending Plan A, you learn to read market feedback as signal, run smaller experiments, and pivot with integrity. The result is clearer decisions, sharper execution, and faster momentum toward the mission.
THE HARD BREAK
This issue of The Grip shows why your nervous system, not your calendar, is the real bottleneck on your growth as a founder. Using Aaron Edelheit’s “hard break” story, it lays out how one protected weekly rest day becomes strategic infrastructure that restores health, clarity, and creativity so you can scale without coming apart.
IDENTITY DRIVES REALITY
Results follow identity. Choose a new way of being in the present and your options, decisions, and outcomes change fast—often before anything external shifts. This issue shows founders how to pick that identity on demand and lead from it.
FROM STUCK TO SOVEREIGN
Results follow context. If your life feels stuck, you’re likely playing a game with rules that cap what’s possible. Learn to name the old game, choose a new one, and let that lens reshape your decisions, energy, and outcomes.
BUILD:
This issue of The Grip shows mission-driven founders how to move from consuming to creating across seven daily domains. Learn the shifts that turn inner mastery into outer outcomes—so ideas become products, people served, and lasting impact. Build what outlives you.
THE ACCELERATION PARADOX
Founders grow faster by doing less, better. This issue delivers a 2-part simplify framework to clear clutter, align values with commitments, and turn space into compounding impact.
FROM SCARCITY TO PLENTY
This issue shows founders how to shift from scarcity to plenty by upgrading perception and responsibility. Use our vivid imagination practice to spot hidden supply and create the next result with what you already have.
THE MESS THAT MAKES YOU
This issue of The Grip reveals why upheaval is not failure but the passage to mastery. Founders and leaders discover how releasing outdated identities creates clarity, vitality, and exponential growth.
THE MASTER’S OBSESSION:
This issue of The Grip reframes obsession as a leadership superpower. Through vivid portraits of Emperor Meiji, Sheryl Sandberg, and Kobe Bryant, you’ll learn how to harness your hunger to create legacy without burnout.
SURVIVAL IS SELFISH…WHEN YOU’RE MADE TO MULTIPLY
Leaders aren’t meant to scrape by—they’re meant to multiply. This issue of The Grip reveals how to move from survival mode to intentional overflow that sustains your mission and empowers others to thrive.
OPPORTUNITY HIDES IN CHAOS: CAN YOU SPOT IT?
Discover how visionary leaders transform chaos into opportunity by shifting their perception. Learn to reframe challenges as catalysts for growth and innovation.
“I CAN’T AFFORD IT”—
Most people believe they’re limited by what they can afford, but that mindset keeps them stuck. This issue of The Grip challenges the affordability trap and introduces a powerful shift: taking full responsibility for creating financial means instead of settling for what’s already available.
INTENTIONAL RENEWAL:
We want growth, but we resist the pruning. We crave reinvention, but we hesitate at what must die.
Renewal isn’t just an idea; it’s a lived process, and if you’re in it right now, it might feel more like destruction than transformation.
But there’s a way to move through it with mastery—one that requires embracing its paradoxes instead of fighting them.
UNLOCK YOUR CREATION MASTERY
The reason for not getting desired results when doing all the “right” things is being out of sync with the fundamental laws of creation to begin with. The more you understand how creation works—and get in step with it—the more effectively you will create what you want in life. Ultimately, the more skilled at creating you become, the less constrained by scarcity, stagnation, and strain you’ll be.
MEDIOCRITY OR MASTERY
Creation has an order to it, and once you understand the fundamentals, you will be equipped to create more of what you want, whenever you want. In this issue of The Grip, we’re introducing three foundational distinctions for masterfully creating your life.
Where in your life are you not getting the results you want? Whether it's your career, personal relationships, or your well-being, prepare to begin a massive upgrade.
THE SPEED OF LESS
Many of us have a habit of saying yes to new commitments without first making room for them in our lives. At a certain point, Bob decided he would remedy this for himself by proactively quitting something every week.
And the result? A life with less stress and more clarity, energy and impact. In today’s issue of The Grip, we’re illuminating this paradox of slowing down to speed up; how pruning back produces more.
LEADERS UNDER FIRE
Imagine this: You’re at the helm of a rapidly growing company, faced with a tidal wave of societal pressure. The world is demanding that you take a stand on divisive cultural issues—issues that, while important, have little to do with your mission.
The noise is deafening.
The critics are loud.
What do you do?
THE SURPRISING EASE OF DECISIVE LEADERSHIP
As a leader, you likely face hundreds of decisions a day, which will be stressful and fatiguing if you’re pouring great amounts of time and energy into each one. That’s why becoming decisive is so valuable; it transforms your relationship to this critical skill. When practiced regularly, decisiveness correlates with higher rates of happiness, life satisfaction, mental wellbeing, and overall success.
CURIOSITY OVER ANSWERS
In the normal course of events, we ask questions to find answers. This is useful and also limiting. To be curious, to question, to comprehend mysteries with no agenda regarding the answers—this is a most unusual way to ask questions.
BEYOND VISUALIZATION
If you've done any amount of personal development work, you are already familiar with the concept of visualizing your desired outcomes. Why does it seem to work for some but not for others?
Harnessing the subconscious is the differentiator between visualization that propels your life forward and visualization that unintentionally creates more of what you don't want.
In this week’s issue of The Grip, we show you the next critical step for harnessing your subconscious: reprogramming it.
