Trust Your Gut

This week we are talking about intuition and what it really means to “trust your gut.” Just like our previous episodes we are going to start out by reading an article that Greg wrote where he highlights several examples of people who DIDN’T “trust their gut” and it lead to some pretty catastrophic situations. 

For this episode we are talking about intuition from two perspectives. The first being the “gut feeling” that you’ve likely experienced when something feels “off.” The other aspect of intuition that we are talking about is how it pertains to cognitive training and learning to become better at decision-making. 

During the episode we talk about some of the science behind intuition and why it is an important “hard-wired” element that has kept the human race alive for a very long time. We also dive into the essential role that emotion and cognition play when it comes to “training for the real event” and we bring up some of the misconceptions we’ve seen when it comes to including those elements into scenario-based training. 

Some of the topics we discuss include the difference between muscle memory and cognitive training, information versus intelligence, creating explanatory storylines, and how to enhance your own intuition.
