In this episode of Now I Get It, Dr. Andy unpacks the often misunderstood world of tariffs—what they are, how they function, and why they matter far beyond simple price tags. He shares a real-world story about selling bomber jackets for dogs to explain how tariffs work at the ground level and discusses who ultimately bears the cost: the importer, the customer, or even the manufacturer. Through the lens of elasticity and economic incidence, Dr. Andy offers clear insights into how small changes ripple through global supply chains and everyday wallets.

But the conversation doesn’t stop there. Dr. Andy broadens the perspective, tackling the complexities of international trade, investment, and the balance of payments. He highlights the critical importance of services, intellectual property, and foreign investment in sustaining economic health—areas often overlooked in public debates about tariffs. If you want a deeper understanding of how money really moves between nations (and what gets conveniently left out of the discussion), this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, you will learn:

• (00:50) – What tariffs really are and how they work as import taxes
• (02:20) – Why the person who writes the check isn’t always the one paying the tariff
• (04:00) – How elasticity determines who ultimately bears the cost
• (06:30) – The bigger picture of trade: goods, services, and investments
• (08:40) – Why understanding the full balance of payments is crucial for honest economic discussions

In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive into the powerful role of introverted intuition—what I like to call “the seer”—and how it silently shapes our ability to love, hope, and connect. We’ll explore how this cognitive function helps us interpret symbolism, predict the future, and make meaning out of our experiences—all key ingredients in thriving relationships. Whether it’s the symbolic weight of a well-chosen gift or the subtle inclusion of someone in your imagined future, I break down how small signals can speak volumes in emotional connection.

We also look at how understanding our cognitive functions—and those of the people we care about—can radically improve how we express and receive love. From the graceful idealist to the charging logistician, each of us experiences the world in profoundly different ways. By becoming more aware of these functions and practicing gratitude for the inner “seer,” we not only honor our own intuition but also become better partners, friends, and leaders.

In this episode, you will learn:

• (01:05) - What cognitive functions are and how they influence feelings of love and being loved
• (02:20) - What “the seer” (introverted intuition) is and how it helps us predict future outcomes
• (03:30) - Why symbolic gestures like gifts carry deep meaning for intuitive personalities
• (05:10) - How hope is at the heart of every relationship—and how we can unintentionally kill it
• (07:20) - The four gesture types and what they reveal about how we experience and express love
• (10:10) - How to support someone who deeply values symbolic meaning in relationships
• (11:40) - A meditation practice to better connect with and trust your intuitive self
• (13:10) - How becoming aware of our different types can improve every kind of relationship

In this episode of Now I Get It, I explore one of the most dynamic and misunderstood cognitive functions: intuition—specifically, its outward-facing form, known as extroverted intuition or “the brainstormer.” We dive into how this function generates creative options, seeks out new possibilities, and thrives on surprise and novelty. I unpack how this cognitive tool fuels innovation, shapes our personal identities, and even transforms our relationships when it’s nurtured and understood.

I also share personal stories, including how my late wife’s creativity and love for surprise reflected her intuitive strength. We’ll look at how you can activate and strengthen this ability in your own life through reflection, gratitude, and intentional practice. If you've ever wondered why some people constantly bounce with energy and throw out ideas like confetti—or if that's you—this episode will give you language and insight to better understand and honor that spark.

In this episode, you will learn:

• (00:36) - What extroverted intuition is and why it’s key to creative thinking
• (02:00) - How this function interacts with its opposite—introverted intuition—to keep us balanced
• (03:12) - How to spot different intuitive types by the way they walk and gesture
• (05:15) - Why surprise is a love language for intuitive types—and how it shows up in relationships
• (06:05) - A personal story about creativity, love, and the joy of unexpected moments
• (08:15) - A reflection practice to help you tap into your intuitive “brainstormer” more often
