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.
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. And the receipts are real: the FTC found that 76% of subscription sites and apps use dark patterns engineered to manipulate you. That's not a hot take. That's a finding.
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:
Fix It or F*ck It - the decision framework that ends paralysis in ten seconds flat.
The Six Friction Identifiers - how to spot the moment a company has quietly assigned you their job.
The AI Friction Killer - the only weapon that scales, if you use it right.
The Receipts - who profits from your wasted time, and why they'll never stop on their own.
The Reclaim - how to take back the hours, days, and years they've already stolen from you.
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!

Mine leave them inspired, excited, informed and dangerous on Monday morning.

HIVE is the first AI built for the human element. The first to capture and preserve real human wisdom from the human experience, the first with proprietary dynamic memory that knows who you are and what each avatar is for, the first to let you share avatars privately with the people who matter, and the first AI not just telling you that you're right, but working to get it right.
This is the power of AI Powered By the Human Element, engineered for the way humans actually live now.
