In this bitesize episode, Paul chats with Dr. Diana Dimitrova to explore why high performers often suppress intuition, how emotional disconnection shows up in leadership, and the real cost of building companies while losing connection to our inner compass.

We discuss why intuition is not “soft” or irrational, but a form of intelligence we all have—and how it becomes even more valuable as AI accelerates. We talk about the emotional masks leaders wear, why vulnerability enhances credibility, and how to design cultures where people feel safe to speak up, learn, and grow.
