Flip the Grit Switch

Everyday friction is sneaky.
It hides in the tiny things: reschedules, half-finished tasks, and mental tabs that never close.
In this episode, Micah Hill unpacks how those small leaks drain performance and how Pivot Masters use systems, not struggle, to stay steady.

✨ Inside:
• What “gas-tank tasks” reveal about your bandwidth
• Why prevention beats discipline every single time
• How to design systems that do the heavy lifting for you

You’ve been involved. But have you been committed?

We say we’re all in until it rains on workout day, business slows, or an email ruins our peace. Real resilience starts where comfort ends.

You don’t need to feel confident to lead. You need grit that moves before belief catches up.

In this episode of Flip Your Grit Switch™, Micah Hill reveals the hidden resilience strategy high achievers use every day: borrowed confidence. The moments when someone sees a version of you that you haven’t fully stepped into yet.
That’s a permission slip.

Ever notice that real resilience doesn’t show up when life explodes…but when life is fine?
Not the Big Hard moments. Not the Big Goods. The middle.

In this episode, we’re breaking the myth that resilience is only a crisis skill. Instead, we’ll uncover the micro-moments—the tiny choices—that quietly shape your confidence, energy, and performance.

You’ll learn:

You don’t need more willpower—you need a better engine.

In this episode, I’m calling out the lie that high achievers live by: that discipline alone is enough. It’s not. Because willpower fades. And when it does, most of us blame ourselves instead of upgrading the system that was never built to last.

Inside:

• Why willpower is adrenaline (and why that’s a problem)

• What a real resilience system looks like

• How attention leaks sabotage mo...

Massive change doesn’t start with a vision board.
It starts with one honest move—the kind that looks small from the outside but rewires everything.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why most people stay stuck chasing the big leap when it’s the micro rebellions—the quiet resets, the boundaries you keep, the bite you don’t swallow—that change your life for good.

You’re not waiting for clarity.
You’re waiting for invincibility.

And that delay? It's draining your momentum and muting your next move.

In this vulnerable, grounding episode, I’m taking you inside the invisible middle—the part of the Resilience Arc no one talks about. The part where everything is shifting under the su...

If gripping the wheel harder actually worked, you’d already be cruising.

But here’s the truth: control isn’t leadership. It’s fear… wearing a productivity badge.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how control—while praised by high achievers—is often the very thing standing between you and the peace, momentum, and clarity you crave.

From white-knuckle thinking to middle-of-the-night mind spirals, I’m giving you a new fra...

You’ve paused. You’ve pivoted. Now? You rise.

But not necessarily in a "I've got it all figured out" kind of way.
