Ep. 505 - Red Flags!

Jason Schroeder talks about red flags and productive paranoia. A red flag is something that triggers you to dig deeper and anticipate something going wrong before it actually goes wrong. Every single time he ignored a red flag, it was bad. Every time he acted on one, it worked out for the better. Gut feelings are based on thousands of past experiences. Don't ignore them.
