Sam Ovens is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Skool.

He used to be known as the "consulting guru" wearing a blue suit in his New York apartment teaching people how to start a consulting business. But since he has moved on to build Skool, a community platform that is projected to cross a billion dollars in valuation.

In this episode we talk about:

• why the best decisions are based on feeling


• the downsides of monk-like discipline and why you may need more distraction and chaos in your life


• how to develop your intuition and live life on your own terms
