F* Your Friction

How to Fight Back Against The Systems Stealing Your Time and Money

by Mitch Mitchem (Author)

You're not crazy. You're not lazy.
You're being robbed.

Get Your Autographed Copy

You will lose 730 days of your life to friction. Not traffic. Not your commute. Friction. The phone trees. The doom-loop apps. The subscriptions you can't cancel. The forms that exist for no reason. The "updates" that break everything that worked.

This isn't bad design. It's the business model. It's built on purpose, to steal your time, drain your money, and wreck your sanity one polite little obstacle at a time.

76%
of subscription sites and apps use dark patterns engineered to manipulate you. That's not a hot take. That's a finding.— FTC

In F*ck Your Friction, Second City improv alum, three-time startup founder, and HIVE CEO Mitch Mitchem cuts through the corporate lies to show you why every modern "convenience" has become a con, and exactly how to fight back.

This book is your weapon. Inside, you'll get:

01

Fix It or F*ck It

The decision framework that ends paralysis in ten seconds flat.

02

The Six Friction Identifiers

How to spot the moment a company has quietly assigned you their job.

03

The AI Friction Killer

The only weapon that scales, if you use it right.

04

The Receipts

Who profits from your wasted time, and why they'll never stop on their own.

05

The Reclaim

How to take back the hours, days, and years they've already stolen from you.

06

The Grandfather Test

Five questions, thirty seconds, that cut through any corporate lie.

"This was not just a book. You interrupted something on the exact day I needed it, like a cosmic force. I cried, laughed, cursed, and cried some more. One line stopped me cold: 'While you're having committee meetings, your competitors are implementing solutions.' I've lived that moment. Recently. Repeatedly. This book isn't about the tool. It's about how you use it, and why. Brilliant!"
