#178 Why You Should Stop Forgiving People Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

The Grant Mitt Podcast | Episode 178

Everyone tells you forgiveness is the answer. Nobody tells you there's a third option.

Most people think they have two choices after someone hurts them. Stay bitter, or forgive. Bitterness means they hurt you and still live in your head rent free. Forgiveness means they hurt you and you cleared their account.

There's a third thing almost nobody talks about. You drop the weight, but their account stays open. You just stop collecting on it.

Release is about your peace. Forgiveness is about their conscience. Those are not the same thing.

In this episode: why rushing to forgive deletes the lesson, what forgiveness actually teaches people about the price of hurting you, who really profits when you forgive, how to cut someone off cleanly without carrying them, and the three people you should never forgive.

I'm at peace. You're just not forgiven.

#177 Why People Quietly Turn Against You & How to Stop It Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

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.

#173 Game Theory: How to Understand Human Behavior & Win in Life Aug 29, 2026

Show notes

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.

#172 How to Quantum Leap 10 Years Ahead in Less Than 1 Year Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

In Episode 172 of The Grant Mitt Podcast, Grant breaks down how to quantum leap 10 years ahead in your life, business, and personal growth by thinking from the future backward.

Most people focus on marginal improvements—solving today’s problems and slowly working toward the next level. But what happens when you start with the ultimate outcome and reverse-engineer your life from there?

In this episode, Grant explains how to skip levels by identifying the infrastructure, team, lifestyle, knowledge, and capabilities your future self would already have—and beginning to build them today instead of 10 years from now.

By operating from the perspective of your future self, you can change the decisions you make today, accelerate your growth, and create the conditions for new opportunities and synchronicities to emerge much sooner.
