You’ve been doing it wrong.

You think negotiation is a battle across a boardroom table. You think it’s about being the loudest, the hardest, the one who refuses to budge.

Here is the truth: The most expensive negotiation you will ever lose is the one happening inside your own head before you even open your mouth.

Today on Finding Peak, I sit down with Attia Qureshi—former MIT faculty, U.S. State Department consultant, and author of Never Settle. We break down why your "hard shell" is actually costing you money, power, and relationships.

We cover:

• Why 40% of men under 30 have never asked a woman out in person (and what it means for the future of business).
• The "Lemonade Strategy" that turned a hostile neighbor into a massive real estate asset.
• How to stop negotiating with yourself and adopt the Mamba Mentality.
• The exact script to guess someone's hidden motives without setting off a landmine.

If you are tired of leaving money on the table and walking away from conversations wishing you had asked for more, this episode is your playbook.
