The Miles to Zen Podcast with Shannon Miles Halliday

Send us Fan MailTrusting the Nudge: How a Remote Island and a Wild Idea Sparked a Courageous LeapHost Shannon Miles Halliday welcomes men’s intuition coach Doug BeitzWhat do you do when you own a remote island resort and no one wants to buy it?Doug Beitz and his family found themselves in exactly that position running an 18-room scuba diving resort on a tiny island in Micronesia, with no clear way to sell it. And then an idea showed up.Not something you’d find in a business book. Not something anyone around him was suggesting. But it stuck.They decided to raffle the entire resort.In this conversation, Doug shares how that idea came together, the strange timing around it, and what it actually took to follow through on something that, at the time, felt pretty far outside the norm.We also talk about the balance between intuition and action because even when something feels “right,” there’s still a lot of work involved in bringing it to life.It’s a fascinating story, but also a really honest look at what it means to trust yourself when there isn’t a clear path in front of you.Next week, I’ll be sharing the first part of our conversation, where we go deeper into intuition, how it shows up, and how to start recognizing it in your own life. 00:00 Raffling a Resort00:00 The Wild Idea: Raffling a Resort  01:10 Why Selling Was So Difficult  04:45 The Breaking Point  07:33 The Synchronicity That Changed Everything  09:57 Building the Raffle (14 Months of Work)  11:26 When It Went Viral  13:07 Lessons Learned (and Why They Kept It Quiet)  19:27 Nature, Reset & Perspective  23:17 Courage and “Green Lights”  26:06 Final Thoughts + What’s Coming Next  Check out our first podcast together that we did last year.
