  • #143: Defining and Validating Internal Friction in 2026
    This isn’t about motivation. It’s about internal friction.
    Most people push harder when they feel stuck. That’s the mistake.
    When your mental bandwidth is overloaded, more effort doesn’t create progress. It creates noise.
    There’s a silent force working against you. Not laziness. Not lack of discipline.
    Friction between what you know and what you actually do.
    In this episode, Gregory Favazza breaks down how to identify internal friction, reduce mental overload, and rebuild clarity without starting over.
    Because the problem isn’t effort.
    It’s interference.
