#173 Game Theory: How to Understand Human Behavior a Win in Life

from The Grant Mitt Podcast · host Grant Mitterlehner

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.
