AJ and Johnny break down the real status game — and why working harder, proving yourself, or chasing approval can actually lower your value. They reveal how true high-status people create influence effortlessly by shifting their frame from seeking to leading.

You’ll learn the difference between chasing status signals and creating value signals, the three hidden “status leaks” most people make without realizing it, and the exact behavioral moves that raise your social gravity in every room.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to stop competing, start leading, and operate from the high-value frame that quietly commands respect.
