Why gripping tighter is costing you. At work and at home.

Welcome to The Relationship Code. This is where I go deeper than a 60 second post can. One relational pattern, pulled apart to the code underneath it, every Sunday. Influence, attraction, and presence. At work and at home.

You've done the work. And the results still haven't come. So you do what every high performer does when the payoff is late. You grip tighter. More hours. Tighter control. You chase the thing harder than ever. It feels like discipline.

It's scarcity. And scarcity makes everything worse.
