RESPONSE ABILITY

WHY ‘BETTER’ KEEPS YOU FEELING BROKEN
Many high-achievers unknowingly chase self-improvement from the belief that they’re broken. This issue of The Grip reveals how true transformation begins—not with fixing yourself—but by remembering you’re already enough.
YOUR BRAIN’S TEMPER TANTRUM PT. 3
Discomfort isn’t danger—it’s a sign that you’re growing. Learn to retrain your survival brain so discomfort no longer signals “stop,” but becomes the starting point for scale, leadership, and lasting impact.
YOUR BRAIN’S TEMPER TANTRUM PT. 2
Being wrong isn’t dangerous—it’s a survival brain reflex wired from childhood. This issue of The Grip reveals how clinging to being right is costing you growth, leadership, and joy—and shows how to reframe mistakes as fuel for transformation.
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.
MASTER THE HIDDEN STORIES CONTROLLING YOUR RESULTS
Your mind is a master storyteller, constantly interpreting events and shaping how you experience leadership, relationships, and even your own identity. But here’s the thing: not all these stories are true. And the ones that aren’t? They could be limiting you more than you realize.
STAGNATION: THE STEALTHY THREAT YOU NEVER SEE COMING
Stagnation is a state or condition marked by lack of flow, movement, or development. It is a death knoll for the human mind & body, relationships, businesses, economies, and countries.
Particularly for The Innovator Leader, one thing is clear: stagnation is agony. It consistently ranks in the top 10 struggles reported by entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, and creatives.
STOP OUTSOURCING YOUR INNER GAME
Your inner experience does get created, just not in the manner you’ve been led to believe. Who makes you happy? Who makes you mad?
In this issue of The Grip, we shed light on the true source of your inner experience and give you the tools necessary to intentionally cultivate and strengthen it. We introduce a practice that, if you’re willing to live in true freedom, will fortify your mental wellbeing like nothing else.
MASTERING PERCEPTION
Most people eventually develop ease through mastery. While that absolutely works, it’s a long row to hoe. Elite athletes and business leaders know there’s another way.
In today’s issue of The Grip, we detail the method high performers swear by for world-class accomplishments and reveal the necessary framework for using it effectively yourself.
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.
SELF-MASTERY
The stoic philosopher, Epictetus put it this way, "No man is free who is not master of himself."
At The Grip, our mission is to simplify and de-mystify this critical skill so you actually enjoy doing what it takes to master yourself—you’re much more likely to excel at it when you do.
In this week’s issue we’ve curated 10 of the most powerful books on self-mastery—each one a masterclass in building focus, clarity, and discipline.
Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or creating a life of impact, these books are tools to create the life you know you’re capable of.
SEEING THE INVISIBLE
In today’s issue of The Grip, we show you how this fundamental skill of making distinctions—a skill you utilize everyday already by default—can be intentionally harnessed and leveraged for your benefit.
Why does that matter? Because where distinctions increase, so do options to navigate your world—how you lead, love, create, and serve. The opposite is true as well: where distinctions decrease, so do options to navigate your world.
MASTERING INSPIRATION
When cultivated, inspiration is a force for making miracles in your life—it will accelerate your growth and impact. To experience more of it, you’ve got to get a handle on what makes inspiration thrive and what snuffs it out.
Discover how mastering inspiration is key to actualizing the fullness of life you’re designed for.
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.
WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR?
For conscious souls, mere existence is excruciating.
We are imbued with the will to live for much more than survival.
People are made for purpose.
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.
WHY YOUR BRAIN RESISTS CHANGE
In this week’s issue of The Grip, we contend with a harsh reality that arises when you attempt to reprogram your subconscious brain: either it works inconsistently or not at all.
What’s going on?
MEET YOUR HIDDEN SUPERPOWER
The subconscious brain operates in the realm of the unseen. It has access to options and information that never make it onto the conscious brain’s radar. Between it’s processing capability, it’s 24/7 operation, and it’s access to mind-boggling amounts of information, the subconscious brain is your own AI companion.
This is why mastering your subconscious brain makes such a difference in what you achieve in life—the more you move conscious desires into the domain of the subconscious, the more power gets behind fulfilling them.
