In this episode, Josh and Bob dive into the uncomfortable but powerful role of intuition in leadership. Data-driven decision-making has become the default, but what happens when the data runs out—or worse, when it misleads you? Both share personal stories of times they ignored their gut and paid the price, and times when trusting that inner signal made all the difference. This isn’t about rejecting data. It’s about recognizing intuition as another form of input—one that leaders often suppress out of fear it won’t “sound logical.” Josh and Bob challenge listeners to remember times they silenced their inner voice, reflect on the outcomes, and start treating gut instincts as signals worth listening to. If you’ve ever wrestled with the balance between logic and instinct, this episode will push you to rethink how you make decisions.
