You go on a date with someone who's great on paper. You know, they have the job, you have similar interests. But then when you meet, there's something that just doesn't connect. And that's intuition, right? That kind of data that will not show up on paper.

Well, Mike, I hear you. I don't think you're alone in that feeling toward intuition of what even are we talking about when we talk about intuition? Is it just this out there woo-woo thing? So I hear you there for sure. I spent several years interviewing experts of all

all stripes, ranging from neuroscientists to gastroenterologists to data scientists to people on, you know, more the other end of the spectrum, intuitive practitioners such as Reiki healers, etc. It goes on and on. But I think that the most useful definition I came across

comes from neuroscience and that is that intuition is pattern recognition that happens incredibly quickly and it's based on prior experience and it shows up in biofeedback in your body. And this is an adaptive trait and we all have it. So what does that mean? It means you walk into a room and you get some kind of vibe from that room.

Maybe you feel comfortable at ease and your body kind of exhales, sighs a little breath of relief, or you walk into that room and your throat constricts and you feel uncomfortable.
