Everything we do at HIVE started with one question: why do organizations tolerate systems that steal time, drain talent, and kill momentum? Our founder Mitch Mitchem spent two decades on stages across 12 countries watching it happen. Then he wrote the playbook to end it.

"Friction costs the global economy $8.8 trillion a year. Your organization is paying its share. This book shows you where, why, and how to stop."

F*ck Your Friction is the philosophy that drives every HIVE engagement. From the Grandfather Test that filters what deserves your team's energy, to the Fix It or Fuck It framework that eliminates decision paralysis in 10 seconds, the tools inside this book are the same ones our clients use to achieve a 97% implementation success rate.

Part 1: AWARENESS "Damn, I'm Not Alone." See the invisible enemy that's been draining you for years. From The Great Job Transfer (how companies made YOU their unpaid employee) to The Grandfather Test (a dead-simple filter for what deserves your time), you'll finally understand why everything feels so damn hard.

Part 2: ANALYSIS "Who's Profiting From This?" Follow the money. See who benefits when your life is filled with friction and what the alternative actually looks like. This section moves you from anger into strategic clarity, with a vision of how things could be when we stop accepting broken as normal.

Part 3: ACTION "Fix It or Fuck It." The frameworks that changed everything. Learn the decision model that cuts through overthinking in 10 seconds flat, how to weaponize AI as your friction-fighting partner, and the 4-Week Friction Fighter Plan that readers say made them feel "more grounded, more focused, and more in control than they have in years.
