The Grant Mitt Podcast

Episode #177 — Why People Quietly Turn Against You Most people lose without ever seeing it coming. They follow conventional wisdom, assume everyone means well, and hand away leverage without noticing. Then one day someone they never thought of as an enemy is in a position to hurt them, and they can't understand how it happened. In episode 177 of The Grant Mitt Podcast, I break down the psychology behind leverage: how people quietly create enemies, how to build real alliances, and how to make sure nobody ever has power over you that you didn't choose to give them. What I cover: Why making people feel insecure creates silent enemies — they say nothing, they wait, and the moment they have power they use it How to build alliances before you need them — understand what people are actually incentivized by, and be loyal to the ones closest to you Never let anyone hold financial leverage over you — a spouse, a partner, a company, or a friend Always be the most willing to walk away — in business, in relationships, in every negotiation. The person who can leave sets the terms. If you only ever act on conventional wisdom, you'll get manipulated, taken advantage of, and end up with an average life. Understanding human nature isn't cynical. It's how you protect the things you've built and stay happy doing it. Want the free trainings?

The Grant Mitt Podcast #173 — Game Theory: How to Better Understand Human Behavior Every negotiation, hire, partnership, and sales call is a game — and most people play it blind. In this episode, Grant breaks down game theory in plain English: how to read the incentives driving the person across the table, why people act “irrationally” when the payoff actually rewards it, and how to stop guessing at motives and start predicting moves. You’ll learn how zero-sum thinking quietly costs you deals, why repeat-game relationships compound while one-off wins burn bridges, and how to change the incentives instead of arguing with the person. It applies everywhere — your business, your team, your family, your own decision-making. Understand why people do what they do, and you stop reacting to behavior and start shaping it.
