Have you ever gotten advice from someone you truly respected and knew it was not right for you? If you have, you know the feeling that comes with hearing the experts or the majority tell you one thing, but your gut tell you another.

They listen and believe their gut when it talks, and courageously follow it even when it disrupts the status quo.
