Following Your Gut and Taking Risks

The speaker reflects on making decisions based on instinct, including pursuing the UFC and Power Slap despite criticism. They argue that unfamiliar ideas are often attacked before people understand them.

• Your instincts can be wrong, but the potential downside may simply be returning to your previous work.
• The greater regret, they suggest, is never trying at all.
• Looking back, the speaker values having taken a chance while young and relatively free of responsibilities—even if it might not have worked out.
