Welcome to Pardon My Hunch, the show about the real decisions we make in business and life, and the instincts we trust … or wish we hadn’t ignored.

I’m Teri Hoffman, founder of Hunch. After decades studying product launches and how business decisions actually play out, one thing holds true: the subtle signals we notice (or the ones we ignore) become the heart of every story we tell.

Each week, we talk with folks who’ve actually been there - from corporate rebels under big-brand pressure to ‘innovate,’ to entrepreneurs risking their own time and money to build something they believe in. The more you believe in something, the harder it becomes to make the call, especially when guru frameworks, vague data, or alleged ‘experts’ tempt you to ignore your own gut.

This isn’t hype-talk. It’s the stories behind the stories: the hunches people trusted or dismissed, the work-arounds the doers figured out, and the subtle insights that suddenly made a hard decision feel clear … because we all deserve that feeling of pride, when we can look at something out in the world and quietly know … that was me.
