#183 How to Hypnotize Yourself in 10 Mins to Accomplish Anything

You are always attracting something. The question is whether you chose it. This episode of The Grant Mitt Podcast is about the frequency you’re emitting — your emotional state, your mindset, the energy people feel before you say a word — and how to deliberately change it instead of letting it run on default. I also walk you through a full 10-minute meditation inside the episode. Here’s the structure: 0–3 minutes: breath work, counting to 25 3–6 minutes: affirmations 6–10 minutes: visualization, and more importantly, feeling it as already done Then the part most people skip: your decisions have to match the new frequency. You don’t wait to become that person. You make the calls that person would make, starting today. Go back and watch old Kanye interviews if you want to see this in practice. He understood it before most people had language for it. Certainty bends reality — not because the universe is magic, but because certainty changes what you do, what you accept, and what you walk away from. If you’ve been doing the work and still feel like you’re pulling the same outcomes toward you, this is the episode.

#182 How to Convert Negative Energy Into Gold

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.

#181 How to Teach People How to Treat You: Backed by Psychology

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.

#180 How to Confront More People & Actually Win

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 Free 60-minute masterclass trainings — leadership and management, scaling your business, and the 7-step sales process.

#179 Stop Being the Bigger Person: Start Standing Up For Yourself ASAP

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 Free 60-minute masterclass trainings — leadership and management, scaling your business, and the 7-step sales process.

#178 Why You Should Stop Forgiving People

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. FREE TRAININGS Full masterclasses on leadership, scaling and sales. No cost. https://mittmedia.net/resources WANT ME TO HELP YOU SCALE?

#177 Why People Quietly Turn Against You & How to Stop It

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? I've released full masterclasses on sales, scaling, and leadership — free, no catch.
