The 3 Types of People in Business (and Which One You Should Be)

September 29, 2025 • Harman • Season 1 • Episode 22

In this episode of Money First, CEO, Harman Johnston explores the powerful framework from Adam Grant’s Give and Take that categorises people into Givers, Takers, and Matchers. Learn how each type shows up in business, why givers tend to both fail and succeed the most, and what separates a sustainable giver from a burnt-out one.

You’ll discover: - How to recognise your giving style and its impact on your energy, profits, and boundaries - The warning signs of overgiving and how to shift to strategic generosity - How to use the Profit First system to give with structure and clarity

Whether you’re a coach, creative, or service provider, this episode will help you protect your energy while continuing to lead with value.
