Interview Transcript:
Michael: Welcome back to the show. I am here with Dan Andrews; co-host of the world famous Tropical NBA Podcast and co-founder of 00:13 [inaudible] Businesses. He's a long term entrepreneur and he does it in a special flavor because he’s location independent coming to us today from I believe Barcelona in Spain.
Dan: Yes, Michael thanks for having me.
Michael: Yes, so coming up, we're going to be looking at what exactly is intuition and how can you use it in your business. Or even is it useful in business? This is a question we want to consider and how originally did we get attracted to intuition. Even if it’s sometimes the pet that wants to bite us it seems like. And we’ll look at is muscle memory intuition and some sports analogies that help with business and intuition. And what are some of the things that many people believe intuitively but are actually false. We’ll also have a look at whether intuition helps or hinders in hiring. And controversially, we’ll look at dating and business, are they really the same thing? So…
Dan: You're going to have to stick around to the end of the show to hear our solutions, thought on dating.
Michael: Yeah, absolutely. So I appreciate you coming on the show and we were asking before we hit the record button you know, what exactly is this situation thing?
Dan: yeah
Michael: So, let's talk about that. Yeah, let me ask a few questions of you because that's maybe you just give me a little bit of background on how you discovered this concept and what attracted you to it? That's the first thought that occurs to me because I don't think I've had the same sort of attraction to it and I'm curious about that.
Dan: Well I think for me, I had a small car accident in 2001, had a little whiplash, got some therapy. The health insurance on the physiotherapy ran out and then I started doing yoga because one of the therapists said hey, you can’t come to me but you could look after yourself a bit better. And then that I think started me opening up to hearing my intuition more. And around that time, I started going to a bunch of personal growth workshops that I paid for as opposed to trying to find free stuff. So, there was a whole acceleration in my life there. And also I was very keen to have my business make more money. I nearly said have my money make more business.
