IF IT WERE SIMPLE, YOU’D ACT
Many founders don’t drown in work, they drown in self-made complexity. This issue exposes “complexity as a costume,” why simplicity can feel threatening, and how choosing simplicity as a discipline restores momentum, integrity, and execution that compounds.
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.
TPL YEAR IN REVIEW
This issue of The Grip is a guided Year-In-Review for mission-driven founders and leaders. Using the seven disciplines of The Plenteous Life, it helps you examine language, identity, integrity, and nervous system capacity so you stop repeating the same results. You’ll leave with concrete decisions that align who you are with the outcomes you want in 2026.
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS AREN’T RANDOM—YOU BUILT THIS
This issue of The Grip shows how your relationships are not random. They are built every day by who you are being inside them. You will see how shifting your stance from “managing people” to intentionally creating relationships transforms trust, performance, and the reach of your mission.
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.
INTEGRITY’S SECRET MISSION
This issue of The Grip reframes integrity as a structure, not a slogan. You’ll see how a simple daily practice grows self-trust—the quiet driver of faster decisions, cleaner delivery, and lasting impact. Learn the small shifts that turn inner steadiness into outer results.
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.
YOU MATTER. FULL STOP.
When growth feels invisible, remember: the roots of impact form long before results appear. This issue explores how unseen seasons build the foundation for purpose, leadership, and lasting influence.
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.
ENOUGH ALREADY!
Your inner critic isn’t discipline; it’s sabotage. High-performing leaders often mistake self-criticism for fuel, but in reality it hijacks creativity, drains energy, and infects every relationship they lead.
This issue of The Grip unpacks how overwork and harsh self-talk aren’t strategies but symptoms of unworthiness—and why compassion toward yourself is the most powerful leadership move you can make.
Learn how to transform your inner dialogue from abuse to empowerment, break the cycle of “never enough,” and create a leadership presence that multiplies clarity, generosity, and impact across your team, culture, and legacy.
WHY MANAGE TIME…WHEN YOU CAN MULTIPLY IT?
This issue of The Grip explores how leaders can transform their relationship with time from scarcity to mastery. Discover how to stop spending time like it’s slipping away and start investing it to multiply results, clarity, and ease.
CALM THE CHAOS WITHIN
Discover how anxiety silently erodes leadership performance—and the fast, science‑backed tools to transform your nervous system from liability into asset. If you're scaling impact without collapsing, this is your starting line.
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.
WHEN POWER KNEELS
This issue of The Grip reveals how service-driven leaders flip the org chart to multiply authority, unlock trust, and unleash team capacity. Learn the counterintuitive path to more impact, freedom, and growth.
SAY GOODBYE TO MR. NICE GUY
Most leaders mistake niceness for kindness—thinking it’s virtuous when it’s actually self-protective. This issue of The Grip reveals why real leadership demands courageous kindness, not comfort-seeking politeness, and how embodying the difference drives trust, growth, and impact.
RESPONSE ABILITY
Learn how radical responsibility empowers leaders to transform breakdowns into bold moves. This issue of The Grip reveals how to replace blame with ownership, fueling momentum, freedom, and sustainable leadership growth.
“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.
