Trusting Your Gut and Tapping into Your Productive Intuition with AdaPia d'Errico

Have you ever caught yourself tinkering with your spreadsheet, trying to make your deal work? Your mind tells you that it’s a solid deal but that nervous feeling in your gut tells a different story. AdaPia d'Errico, today’s guest, would tell you to listen to your gut. It might save you a lot of money and grief down the line. AdaPia, Principal and VP of Strategy at Alpha Investing, has learned this the hard way. Despite her due diligence, she was defrauded out of her life savings. We talk about this experience and how she’s learned to trust her intuition over her ego. As AdaPia explains, when we think that we’re acting rationally, our judgment may be clouded by a combination of 188 cognitive biases. We discuss how we unconsciously process huge volumes of information that we express through our feelings. AdaPia then shares the science that proves the saying that you should “trust your gut.” After chatting about the value of aligning yourself with the people that you work with, AdaPia opens up about her new book, Productive Intuition: Connecting to the Subtle. We touch on her motivations for writing and what readers will get from her book before exploring the key concept of your “inner authority.” Near the end of the episode, we talk about the power of meditation and why we shouldn’t be scared of taking calculated risks. According to AdaPia, everything that has ever gone wrong in her life came down to her “not listening to my intuition.” Tune in and hear why your intuition may be your best investment advisor.Key Points From This Episode:Introducing AdaPia, her background, and how she met host Kent Ritter.How AdaPia was defrauded of her life savings, despite the deal looking good on paper.Trusting your intuition and not being too proud to ask for help. Why you’re not always making rational decisions; we’re affected by cognitive bias.Hear about your enteric nervous system, the science behind “trusting your gut.”The importance of aligning yourself with the people that you work with.Paying attention to how you feel when you talk to sponsors. AdaPia shares details about her new book, Productive Intuition: Connecting to the Subtle.Sharing our painful experiences so that others can learn from them.Who AdaPia’s book is aimed at and the main points she wants readers to come away with.The danger of “falling in love with a deal”; it means that you might not be thinking clearly.Appealing to your “inner authority” for validation instead of an external force.  Getting to a centered place, where you connect with who you are and trust yourself.Using tools like meditation to slow your thinking and clear your thoughts.How nothing has ever been certain and why we shouldn’t be scared of taking calculated risks.If you enjoy the guests and content please subscribe and leave a review.  Your reviews matter and each one has a major impact on the success of the show!Want to get more investing resources?Visit kentritter.com for more free passive real estate investing resources including videos, blogs, and tools visitInterested in Investing alongside my firm? Contact me at [email protected] company Birge and Held Asset Management have a twelve-year track record creating sustainable wealth for over 2,000 investors through high-quality multifamily investments.https://birgeandheld.comThank you for listening!Check us out on socials: InstagramLinkedInYoutubehttps://hudsoninvesting.com/Production by Outlier Audio
