Ever had a bad gut feeling about a company before an interview with them?

I have a referral for an asset management job interview for tomorrow. A contact sent my resume to a VP. The VP helped me get an interview. My interview is tomorrow and we had a casual conversation today - it wasn’t part of the interview process my contact just connected me with him so I could to take initiative. It was around five minutes but I just didn’t feel good about it. My gut is telling me bad signs. I feel like I’m just not gonna get the job anyways just from how he spoke I don’t know if I’m overthinking it or not. Am I overthinking it? My gut alarmed me.
