We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary ( InnSæi: The Power of Intuition ), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

In this episode of The DTC Insider podcast, Brian Roisentul sat down with Paola Shah, founder of Tucketts. When Paola Shah moved from London to the U.S., she found herself in a new place with no network. A friend asked for help researching a Pilates studio, and part of that research focused on socks—specifically, grip socks that were required for class. But none of them felt quite right. So, Paola spent three years developing a new kind of sock—one that provides grip and absorbs sweat while maintaining a full sensory connection to the floor. That idea turned into a patented product and a sustainable business that manufactures in Colombia with a strong focus on social and environmental impact. In this episode, we talk about her journey from market research to manufacturing, how she became part of the 1.9% of women-owned businesses to cross $1M in revenue, and the challenges of staying profitable as costs rise. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: The evolution of Tucketts from concept to market over three years. The importance of validating product-market fit before launching. How cultural influences shape product design and branding. The impact of sustainable manufacturing on communities and the environment. The role of patents in protecting innovative product designs. How organic influencer marketing drives authentic brand growth. Overcoming manufacturing challenges through perseverance and problem-solving. Effective communication with manufacturers for better product outcomes. The power of user-generated content over traditional influencer promotions. Enhancing workouts through barefoot training and improved foot sensation. Sponsor for this episode: This episode is brought to you by BSR Digital .
