The Grant Mitt Podcast

Everybody gets hate, doubt, and dead weight thrown at them. Most people absorb it. A few convert it. This episode of The Grant Mitt Podcast is about becoming the second kind.

Energy can’t be created or destroyed — only transferred. Which means every piece of negativity aimed at you is raw material. The question is whether you let it sit on you or turn it into output.

In episode 182 of The Grant Mitt Podcast, I break down the four-part process:

• Remove the need. Be whole enough that their approval stops having a grip on you. When you don’t need it, it can’t be used against you.
• Convert the energy into action. Don’t process it — spend it. Put it into the work.
• Build self-esteem through discipline. Confidence isn’t talked into existence. It’s built through what you do repeatedly and who you keep around you.
• Accept that weird people and weird situations are the cost of doing business. Take nothing personally.

If you’ve been dealing with people rooting against you, quiet resentment from your circle, or you’re carrying setbacks that still have a hold on you — this is the episode.

Episode #181 of The Grant Mitt Podcast — how to teach people to treat you better.

People treat you based on the value they think you have. Nobody is coming to correct that for you. If you want to be treated differently, you have to teach them — through your standards, your presentation, and what you’re visibly willing to tolerate.

In this episode:

• Why people treat you the way they’ve watched others treat you
• How the first impression sets the tone for the entire relationship
• Never negotiating your boundaries, and why you enforce them with action instead of words
• The approval trap: the harder you work for someone’s approval, the harder it gets to earn
• How perceived value decides how you get spoken to, paid, and prioritized

If people keep crossing lines with you, if you’ve been passed over by people you’ve over-delivered for, or if you’ve noticed the same disrespect showing up in every relationship — the pattern starts with what you taught them.

Episode #180 of The Grant Mitt Podcast — how to confront people and actually win.

Most people avoid confrontation because the only version they know is yelling. There are three, and knowing which one a situation calls for is the difference between being respected and being dismissed.

In this episode:

• Why calm reads as control, and control is what makes people listen
• How to ask for money without apologizing for asking
• Calling it out with a laugh so they can't get defensive
• Flipping the table on purpose — chosen, not lost control — and when it's earned
• How confronting men differs from confronting women
• The reversal: why fighting every battle makes you look weak, and when ignoring it is the stronger move

Episode #179 of The Grant Mitt Podcast — Stop Being the Bigger Person.

Being the bigger person is advice invented by manipulators so they'd never be held accountable. Every time you let it go or forgive without an apology, you teach the person who crossed you that there's no cost to crossing you.

In this episode:

• Why "be the bigger person" is a control tactic, not a virtue
• Never trust someone operating in survival mode
• When to show strength, and who actually earns compassion
• Why most leaders need to fire more people than they do
• Handling perpetrators through distance, accountability and consequence

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.

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.

Episode #176 — Why You Need to Be More Confrontational (And How to Do It Right)

Most people aren't losing because they lack talent. They're losing because they avoid the hard conversation.

In episode 176 of The Grant Mitt Podcast, Grant Mitterlehner breaks down why being too nice is quietly costing you respect, money and opportunities, and how to become more confrontational without being a jerk. These are principles you can apply right away in business, leadership and your relationships.

Inside this episode:

• Why avoiding confrontation makes problems bigger, not smaller
• The difference between being confrontational and being aggressive
• How to address issues directly with employees, clients and partners
• Why people respect you more when you hold your ground
• How to say the hard thing calmly and still get what you want

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.

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.

**The Grant Mitt Podcast #168**

**The Biggest Thing Holding You Back Isn't Talent... It's This**

There are people with less talent, fewer resources, and less experience who are achieving more than you. The difference usually isn't intelligence or luck. It's the willingness to take action before they feel ready.

In this episode, I break down why shyness and hesitation silently destroy opportunities, how momentum compounds in every area of your life, and why every decision you make is either moving you closer to the life you want or further away from it.

We cover:

* Why confidence is built through action, not thinking

* How momentum creates a positive flywheel in business and life

* The psychology behind taking more shots

* Why speaking up creates opportunities you'll never see by staying quiet

* How to build unstoppable momentum one decision at a time

If you've been waiting until you feel "ready," this episode is for you.
