This episode shines a light on hindsight bias—that sneaky mental glitch that makes us believe we “knew it all along.” Whether in money matters or relationships, this illusion of predictability can quietly sabotage growth by replacing learning with regret.

John breaks down how hindsight bias often leads to self-doubt, blame, and missed opportunities to gain real insight. Instead of obsessing over the “should haves,” the episode encourages listeners to lean into data, process, and grace—recognizing that progress is made through learning, not perfection.

By adopting a growth mindset and releasing the emotional weight of yesterday’s choices, you create space for clarity, humility, and empowered decision-making. This isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about using it wisely.

• Hindsight bias distorts learning by making past events seem obvious in retrospect.

• Growth happens in the process, not in the perfection of outcomes.

• Let go of the “should haves” and embrace curiosity over criticism.

• Adopt a data-driven, grace-filled approach to decision-making.

• Learn to move from regret to wisdom—and from stuck to strategic.
