AJ and Johnny break down how to hold your frame when someone takes a subtle dig or tries to knock you off balance. Whether it's a jealous coworker, a critical friend, or a family member pushing your buttons, they reveal the psychology behind those low-value power plays — and how high-value people stay calm, composed, and in control. You'll learn the four value positions that drive every interaction, the emotional traps that pull you into defending or proving yourself, and a simple three-step system to keep your composure under pressure. Instead of reacting, you'll learn how to define the moment — and walk away stronger.
