About this episode
Bob and Josh discuss the importance of intuition in leadership and how to sharpen your instincts.
The smartest leadership tool you've got isn't in any AI model. It's your gut. Bob and Josh dig into why intuition still wins the hard calls, the ones data alone can't make for you. Bob owns up to the hires he botched by ignoring his gut. Josh shares the story of the client who told him he was being paid for his pattern recognition and how that changed everything. Reading a room. Trusting yourself before anyone else does. The 60-second habit that sharpens your instincts. And why even perfect data shouldn't get the final word.
