Chris walks through exactly why 'Have you given up on X?' gets a response in two minutes, how the Accusations Audit disarms resistance before it starts, and the Ackerman bargaining sequence that anchors every number in your favor. We also go deep on tactical empathy vs. sympathy, the three conflict types and how silence works differently on each, and why the last impression outranks the first. Applied negotiation from the FBI interrogation room to your inbox.

Dom breaks down how he went from "running and gunning" as a founder to operating at an entirely different level after the acquisition, and the systems that let him run 15+ companies at once. We also go deep on building a C-suite you can actually delegate to, the unglamorous truth about selling a company, and the full story behind Onside — the men's care brand with Jayson Tatum that landed full Target end caps.

Peter Rahal - They Sued Him For Building a Bar That Shouldn't Exist

Peter Rahal broke it down in our conversation. We turned every framework, formula, and strategy from the episode into one free PDF → https://openresidency.com/peter-rahal-playbook?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=peter_rahal_playbook In this episode of Open Residency, we sit down with Peter Rahal, founder of David and the operator who built and sold RXBAR for $600M. 255 days into David, Peter has already raised at a $725M valuation, survived a viral lawsuit, and acquired the most important ingredient innovation in food. We unpack how Peter scaled from zero to $100M run rate at lightning speed, the brand brief behind David, why "obvious but true" ideas kill campaigns, and the "consumer surplus" framework he believes is the real moat in product development.
