Intuition-Led Creative Transformation: A Moron's Insights

Michael Davio Simmonds

What happens when a top Wall Street trader walks away to follow his intuition? In this powerful conversation, Steve shares his mid-career awakening after 20+ years of success left him physically broken and spiritually disconnected.

A stark warning "you're going to die on this desk" led him to leave his job, despite having two kids and a pregnant wife. Rather than chasing another high-paying role, Steve embraced creativity, drafting his book How to Succeed on Wall Street and Why You Should Absolutely Not Do It: A Moron's Memoir in one week. This sparked a new path: founding Creative Postures, producing music, podcasting, and writing poetry.

Steve discusses trusting intuition, the roles of creativity and healing, and redefining success. His daily practice of writing 1,000 words shows how discipline fuels transformation.

If you're feeling stuck or questioning your path, Steve's story is a bold reminder: the best things in life often weren’t planned. Explore how trusting your gut might also provide purposeful direction for your path of transformation.
