Dan Poirier was my guest June 28,2019. He graciously said yes to this podcast when I ran into him at our local market. You see when I saw him I knew that he was a great example for people of listening to his instincts because of his role in our community. Dan is a police officer. I wanted to share that it can be critical for some people to listen to their instincts but also it can be what keeps a level head in life as well. Through the interview we discuss various ways that intuition has shown up in his life. We discuss what helps him stay connected and also deal with the stresses of his job. Coping skills we can all use when we think about it. 

Dan shows us that intuition and gut instincts are the same thing. He talks about how hindsight helps him see his how his actions worked to make a better outcome during sometimes very tough situations. We don’t all need to be police officers to get out of the way and act on our instincts. It is interesting as well how Dan’s life had ‘bread crumbs’ that he uses regularly now as an adult in his stress management and also in his community building activities. We all need to make sure we are more than just the jobs we do 8, 12, 24 hours a day. Making time for those other things is an important piece of the puzzle.

Dan’s favourite books are anything written by Neil Peart (drummer of the band Rush) about travel, music and personal journeys through life.
