If there is anything I have learned in life so far (I am close to 50), it is that my first gut feeling when meeting someone irl is pretty much spot on. I have ignored this feeling when it was negative and it never worked and I have ignored this feeling when it was positive and wasted time over it. I seem to have a solid gut feeling about people (but only after talking in person; it somehow doesn’t translate to zoom or something) enough to have people asking me to go into meeting with them and be a fly on the wall to get a feel. They usually ignore what I say but I have not often been wrong; did lose a lot of money and time ignoring it.

Tldr; yes, trust it
