The Friction Tax Intensive

The story you're telling is probably the easy one.

It's rarely the market, the timing, or the partner who let you down. Underneath is usually a harder, truer version, one you already know and haven't said out loud. This is where you say it, and work out what's actually next.

Nobody here is going to tell you it wasn't your fault.

You've heard that already, or that everything happens for a reason, and it didn't move anything. What moves something is being walked, directly, to the version of the story you've been skipping, and then working out what's next.

No judgment. Just an honest look at what actually happened.

Next is rarely one clean answer. More often it's two half-formed things pulling at you at once, or one thread you already know is right but can't commit to.

Live working sessions, with diagnostic work in between.

The Intensive won't hand you a tidy pivot. It helps you tell the difference between what's worth committing to and what you're still chasing out of habit.

The format is a hybrid of live sessions and async diagnostic work, and it's deliberately different from standard coaching. Standard coaching assumes you need more information. Most people at this stage need less noise.

Live

Working sessions where the decisions get made in real time, with no homework assigned for later.

Async

Diagnostic work between sessions, so live time goes to deciding instead of catching up.

What it looks like to say the harder, truer version out loud.

Choose by what's actually broken.

All three combine personal and business decision work in one engagement. They differ in how many things get worked through, and how deep.

The Sprint

$2,500
Two weeks

A focused, fast engagement for one clear decision that's been stuck. It isn't a full life audit.

Right for you ifYou know roughly what the decision is. You need help seeing it clearly and committing, not a month of exploring.

The Program

$9,000
Three weeks

A deeper pass than the Sprint: two or three connected decisions, worked through one at a time rather than as a single integrated picture.

Right for you ifYou've got more than one thing pulling at you, but you don't need, or want, the full month of the Immersion.

The Immersion

$15,000
One month

How it works: three moves.

  1. One

    Diagnostic

    A direct look at what's creating friction, personal and business together rather than in separate conversations.

  2. Two

    Working sessions

    Live sessions where decisions get made, not just discussed. This hybrid format is what sets it apart from standard coaching.

  3. Three

    The someone

    Whatever surfaces, whether a person, a partnership, or a specific answer, becomes the concrete outcome you leave with.
