145. When your intuition screams “Don’t” and you do it anyway with Lisa Pagotto

What happens when your intuition screams “don’t do it”… and you do it anyway?In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with travel entrepreneur and keynote speaker Lisa Pagotto, founder of Crooked Compass, to unpack the kind of courage that isn’t glamorous, polished, or predictable.From pitching on Shark Tank at 29, to discovering via an accidental email that a life-changing deal had fallen through…Lisa shares one of the most defining lessons of her career—the exact moment her business nearly collapsed, just weeks before she was due to become a mother.We explore what intuition really feels like in your body, how ego can quietly disguise itself as ambition, and what alignment looks like after you’ve learned the hard way.This episode is about backing yourself even after you’ve made a costly mistake. It’s about the price of ignoring your gut, no matter how loudly it screams. And it’s about the extraordinary power of one small, courageous action that can change everything.If you’ve ever overridden your instincts or needed to rebuild your confidence after getting it wrong…this conversation is for you. Key takeaways:o   How your intuition tries to warn you, and what happens when you override it.o   The hard-earned lesson from one decision that nearly destroyed a thriving business.o   How a single, simple act of courage created an extraordinary ripple effect.o   The surprising link between ego, ambition, and the need to prove yourself.o   What alignment truly feels like, and how it reshapes all you do.o   How to transform fear into performance fuel instead of letting it shut you down.And stick around as Lisa reveals her favourite adventure destination and the remote location at the top of her list that she’s not quite ready to face… yet. Find out more about Lisa: or her Crooked Compass:PersonalLinkedIn: Lisa Pagotto  Instagram:  @lisapagotto_  Website: Lisa Pagotto    Facebook: Lisa Pagotto Company - Crooked CompassLinkedIn: Crooked CompassInstagram: @crooked_compass    Website: Crooked Compass  Facebook: Crooked CompassYoutube: Crooked Compass Company - Crooked Compass By AirLinkedIn: Crooked Compass by Air   Instagram: @crookedcompassbyairWebsite: Crooked Compass by Air   Facebook: Crooked Compass by Air Where to find me: Website: Kim Payne   LinkedIn: Kim Payne Instagram: @iamkimpayne  Facebook: KimPayneBiz   COURAGEOUS ME – THE BOOK Grab your copy of Courageous Me – The courage to turn someday into today.  COURAGEOUS SHIFTWant to make the impact you know is possible without having everything figured out? Get access now to The Courageous Shift – a FREE 90 min audio mini-series to work out your next move. Want to get clear on your next steps in your business or career?Book a FREE 45 min Call to Action to help you get to the starting line.
