My guest, Michael Brody-Waite, was a full-blown drug and alcohol addict kept ignoring the intuitive signals trying to help him out of his situation but ignored them time and time again to experience low point after low point.
But the day he listened to his intuition was the day he found the support he needed and the confidence to break out of the situations he got himself into by being authentic and willing to do the uncomfortable work to get there.
That decision exploded his success, becoming a corporate leader, an Inc. 500 entrepreneur, leader of a non-profit company, a coach, a sought-after speaker, a best-selling author, and also doing a TED talk that has amassed over 1.7 million views to date…all thanks to his intuition.
