Simple Success With John Brandy

239a - Self-Serving Bias & True Growth with John Brandy


Listen Later

This episode explores the self-serving bias—our tendency to claim credit for wins but shift blame for losses. John breaks down how this bias quietly stalls growth, especially in finances and career paths.

By embracing reflection and accountability, listeners are encouraged to take ownership of both success and failure—unlocking deeper self-awareness and long-term confidence rather than temporary ego boosts. With real-world examples and actionable strategies, this episode helps you spot and overcome one of the most common psychological blind spots.

Key Takeaways:

  • Self-serving bias distorts personal growth and decision-making.

  • True confidence comes from owning both wins and mistakes.

    • Use reflection, data, and honest evaluation to improve results.
