In this powerful solo episode of Conviction Fiction, Antoine Rivers breaks down one of the most common — and most destructive — criminal thinking errors: The Closed Channel.

A closed channel happens when you stop receiving feedback, correction, truth, and support. It’s the mental and emotional shutdown that keeps people stuck, even long after they’ve returned home. And the cost? Missed opportunities. Damaged relationships. Lost support. Repeated cycles.

In this episode, Antoine dives into:

• What the “closed channel” really is
• How shutting down blocks your growth and freedom
• Real case studies (James & Lisa) that show how this thinking error derails progress
• Why defensiveness and pride become self-sabotage
• How to open your channel using practical, life-changing steps

This episode is raw, introspective, and built for anyone trying to rewrite their life narrative. If you’ve ever reacted defensively, pushed away support, or ignored advice that could have helped you—this one hits home.
