Most leaders think they have to choose between gut instinct and data. In reality, the best decision-makers know how to use both.

In this episode, Brian breaks down the difference between true intuition and simple comfort. Your gut isn't magic...it's pattern recognition built from experience. When you've spent years in a domain, your instincts can carry real weight. But when you're operating in unfamiliar territory or making high-stakes, one-way-door decisions, data needs to lead the way.

The problem is many leaders get this backward. They rely on gut when they should be analyzing the numbers, and they hide behind data when they should trust their experience.

Brian shares a simple framework to help you pressure-test your next big decision.

The best leaders don't treat gut and data as competitors. They let the numbers narrow the field and their experience help make the final call.
