In this episode of Beyond Just Business, we unpack the difference between gut, ego, and intuition - and why mixing them up leads to poor decisions. We start with a fun detour into the TV show The Traitors, where “my gut says…” is nearly always wrong, then use it to highlight confirmation bias and snap judgements we mistake for wisdom.

We contrast that with intuition - the quiet, unexpected inspired thought that arrives when you’re not forcing it - and explore how to hear it more clearly in the noise of everyday business. We also reframe ego (not the blustery persona, but the authentic, aligned self) and discuss how unchecked personality triggers can derail deals, strategy, and relationships.

Practical takeaways include simple ways to develop intuition (short daily meditation, handwriting/journaling to activate the executive centre, and capturing inspired thoughts as they land), plus how to sanity-check decisions without smothering insight. It’s a grounded, useful conversation about making smarter choices, leading with clarity, and trusting yourself without going “full woo.”
