Podcasts about create your own luck

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with George Blackwell Smith, the founder of Lucky Cajun Seasoning. George grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee, moved to Baton Rouge for high school, and fell in love with the food. Not just the taste of it, but the way it made him feel. That curiosity led him to culinary school, years in restaurant kitchens, and eventually to building a seasoning brand from scratch out of his home during COVID. George is the kind of builder who figures things out the hard way and is honest about it. He talks about the early days of navigating Tennessee cottage food laws just to get his first blend to market, spending a year trying to find a licensed kitchen he could actually afford, and learning quickly that chasing shelf space in big box stores was a lot of footwork for very little return. He made the call early to go direct to consumer and build the relationship with the customer himself. That decision has shaped everything since. You will hear him get real about the failure that changed him most. He had to close a restaurant and file for bankruptcy. He says when it finally ended, something unexpected happened. His head got clear. All the things he should have done differently came rushing in at once, and for the first time in a long time he could actually think straight. He took that clarity with him and has been building differently ever since. George also talks about what it means to create your own luck. He is not talking about wishful thinking. He is talking about the RAS, the part of your brain that only finds what it is already looking for. If you are not actively looking for opportunity, you will not see it even when it is right in front of you. He used that exact principle the day of this recording to find a new sales channel he had been overlooking for months. And if you are trying to change your luck this week, he gives you three things to start with. Read self-improvement books. Build a simple morning routine. And make a short list of what actually needs to get done today, then go do it. This one is grounded, practical, and worth your time.

It's my birthday week and I want to celebrate it by talking about something I used to think was reserved for a select few — luck. The kind where weight comes off easier, where consistency feels natural, where some women just seem to have it figured out. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I feel better in my body in my 40s than I did in my early 30s. That is not good genetics, and it's not luck. It came from one specific decision I made in 2018, sitting with my newborn daughter and a calorie tracking app I was about to redownload for the hundredth time. In this episode, I'm walking you through that decision and the one question that changed everything.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/217 Register for the Live Training on May 31: https://burnstressloseweight.com/training

My Guest: Nir Eyal is a Stanford lecturer, behavioral designer, and bestselling author who has spent his career at the intersection of psychology, technology, and human behavior. He's one of the most rigorous thinkers alive on why people do what they do, and what it actually takes to change. Notes Julie introduced Nir to the Turnaround technique. Nir and Julie met the first week of college in 1997 and have been married since 2001. A big part of the genesis of Beyond Belief came from Julie introducing Nir to this technique called The Turnaround, which comes out of the work from Byron Katie, that she used with her mother to repair the relationship she had with her mom. A limiting belief is a belief that saps motivation and increases suffering. It does that by creating short-term relief from discomfort. "I hate public speaking, I'm no good at public speaking, so I'm going to avoid public speaking." You reduce your motivation to go on stage, providing yourself temporary relief, but long-term suffering. The Turnaround helps you collect a portfolio of perspectives. The problem is that our minds hate changing beliefs. We use these beliefs to justify passivity. A turnaround helps you identify many different kinds of beliefs, and then you can choose the ones that serve you versus the ones that hurt you. Your conscious mind can only process 50 bits of information per second. Your brain is processing 11 million bits of information (the sound of a voice, light hitting your retinas, the ambient temperature of the room). Your conscious mind is not aware of all this. Your brain has to filter out and leaves you with 0.00045% of the information that's coming in. The brain sees reality through a tiny pinhole of attention. It's the difference between reading a simple sentence or War and Peace twice every second. In order to make sense of all this data coming in, the brain has to see reality through a tiny pinhole of attention, just a tiny fraction of reality you're actually consciously aware of. The brain makes predictions based on our beliefs. How does the brain make sense of all this information? It has to make predictions, and those predictions are based on our beliefs. We call this predictive processing. Everything you experience, everything you see, everything you feel, and everything you're inspired to do is determined by the three powers of belief. The three powers of belief: The power of attention changes what you see The power of anticipation changes how you feel The power of agency changes what you do Limiting beliefs hide themselves. A limiting belief, by definition, is hidden because we think that what we see is accurate. We all think that what we experience is a fact. "I saw it for myself. I'm stating my truth. This is the way things are." But that's not true at all. The way the brain processes information is woefully inadequate to put that burden of truth on it. The Turnaround uses four questions to challenge limiting beliefs.  Is it true? Is it 100% absolutely true? Who am I when I hold onto this belief? Who would I be without this belief? Nir's story: "My mother is too judgmental and hard to please." Nir sent his mom flowers for her 74th birthday. She said, "Thank you very much. But just so you know, the flowers were half dead. Don't order from that florist again." Nir instantly became his 13-year-old self and blurted out, "Well, that's the last time I order you flowers again." Venting is terrible. It does nothing but reinforce your beliefs about people because not only do we not see reality clearly, we certainly don't see other people clearly. We see our beliefs about people. We don't see reality as it is. We see reality as we are. The Turnaround opened up new possibilities for Nir. In 30 seconds, he determined: (1) that belief may not be true, (2) it doesn't really serve him, and (3) there might be a better way to be. He could actually be happier without that belief. The brain hates changing its mind. The turnaround asks you to look at the diametric opposite of your belief. We have a psychological immune system. Just like if you get a splinter in your finger, your body will mount an immune defense. The same happens in our minds. The more you feel "that's crazy, I don't wanna think that way, that can't be true," the more you need to explore it. Nir found four beliefs instead of one: My mother is too judgmental and hard to please My mother is NOT too judgmental and hard to please (maybe she was just conveying information) I am too judgmental and hard to please (I had rehearsed a script of effusive praise I wanted) I am too judgmental and hard to please towards myself (I felt incompetent that the flowers didn't work out) "Beliefs are tools, not truths." This is the most important thing Nir can convey. Which one of those four beliefs is true? All of them. None of them. Who cares? Beliefs are tools, not truths. Facts, faith, and beliefs are three different things.  A fact is an objective truth about reality. It is so whether you believe it or not. The world is more like a sphere than it is flat. That is an objective fact.  Faith is a conviction that does not require evidence.  A belief is a conviction that is open to revision based on new evidence. Most problems come from thinking faith is a fact. Too many people think that their faith is a fact, and the things they think are facts are nothing more than beliefs, which are changeable. That's where most of our problems come from: interpersonal problems, personal problems, geopolitical problems. The original belief left Nir powerless. "My mom is too judgmental and hard to please" only has one way out: she has to change so I could be happy. Good luck. The other three beliefs, Nir could do something about. They were in his control. That enabled him. It freed him. It was liberating. Misattribution of emotion: hurt people hurt people. When we feel bad inside, if you've ever been bullied or been a bully yourself, this is always what happens. When you feel crappy on the inside, the first person you can find, you're going to punch him in the face, either physically or verbally, because you feel crappy. That's what Nir did to his mom because he felt bad. So now she should feel bad. How to handle narcissists: acknowledge they're operating with the best tools they have. That person is a narcissist? Awesome, because you don't have to be around them. But narcissists are operating from the best tools they have. It doesn't mean you have to include them in your life, but how do you stop suffering because of them? Acknowledge they are, and reduce your suffering around them. Nir called his mom and apologized. He said, "I'm so sorry for my behavior. I realize that you were trying to help me. You were conveying information about the flowers, so I wouldn't order from that florist. Thank you for that." That call completely changed their relationship. We expect people to change, but we can't even change ourselves. We can't do the simplest habits like eating better, exercising more, and managing our time. Why are we expecting other people to change? "Love is measured by the benefit of the doubt." When Nir's daughter was born, and he held her for the first time, he felt overwhelming adoration. Five minutes ago, she didn't exist, and now he loved her more than anything. He gave her complete, total benefit of the doubt. Why? She didn't do anything. She never sent him flowers. Babies poop, they need food all the time, they cry. But he never said, "she's crying to annoy me." We give babies the ultimate benefit of the doubt. Why don't we give adults the benefit of the doubt? When those babies grow up and become adults, we don't give them the benefit of the doubt. The narcissist in your life, the person who offends you, the person that hurts you, those are the best tools they have. It doesn't mean you have to be with them or include them in your life. The requirement is: how do you figure out how to stop suffering, to be at peace? We're constantly judging everything. Somebody cuts you off in traffic. Jerk. There's a line at the burrito place. The business thing didn't work out. The stock market goes down. Judging, judging, judging all day long. Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad. Expecting things to be different than they are. These are all limiting beliefs, and all they do is make us suffer. "We don't have relationship problems. We have belief problems." The problem is your belief that something should be different from what it is. It's like asking Nir's daughter to speak Russian. She can't speak Russian. What am I expecting? She doesn't have that ability. Why should I have expectations that people should meet my expectations? Nir and Julie now collaborate instead of argue. Since they started using the Turnaround technique, they used to have disagreements. Now they collaborate. If there's a very smart person, much smarter than Nir, who has an opinion, who he respects deeply and loves and admires, why would he fight with that person? He would collaborate with that person. Different perspectives are an asset to collect. If Nir sees things one way and Julie sees them differently, that's amazing. A new perspective. It's like collecting Pokémon cards. You've gotta get 'em all. Now with more perspectives, he can pick the best one. Writing sessions with Tim Urban, Shane Snow, and Mark Manson. Nir would work on his own and get distracted. But when he had other authors around him, they would sit down, write for 45 minutes, take a 15-minute break, write for 45 minutes, take a 15-minute break. They'd do that for three hours every morning. Not only is it inspiring, it keeps you on track. Find a focus friend. Somebody you can go to a coffee shop with and say, "I really need to focus. Let's keep each other accountable. Let's just work next to each other." Just like working side by side and seeing that other person also working on the stuff they should be working on keeps you accountable. Comparison is the thief of joy. Sometimes it can be tricky to be in a room with people who are super successful. Nir was the least successful author there at the time. You have to put it in perspective and know it's not about the outcome, it's about the journey. The best thing you can do is do the work. Time boxing is better than to-do lists. To-do lists are one of the worst things you can do for personal productivity because there's no constraint. You can always add more things to a to-do list. You come home from work every day and say, "I still have all these things I haven't done on my to-do list."  A time box calendar is the most well-researched time management technique. What's much more effective than a to-do list is planning out what you're going to do and when you're going to do it. This is called an implementation intention. The goal now becomes not to finish anything. The goal is to work on that task for as long as you said you would without distraction. Make time to do the work, to turn your values into time. That's the secret to avoiding comparison. You put in the time to do the work. When you have it on your calendar, the goal is doing the work, not finishing the work. Lucky people literally see reality differently. They did a study where they asked people who were self-described lucky or unlucky to count the number of photographs in a newspaper. The unlucky people took on average two and a half minutes. The lucky people took 11 seconds. Why? On page two, one of the images said in big, bold text, "There are 43 images in this paper. Collect your prize." The unlucky people never saw it. Their brains took in the information, but it never became part of their conscious awareness. Entrepreneurs see $100 bills on the ground when everybody's walking over them. That is driven by beliefs. You believe you can will things to change. Walter Isaacson, in his biography of Steve Jobs, talked about his reality distortion field. That's exactly what this is. Entrepreneurs tend to be way more optimistic. They believe that lucky things happen to them, and so they see opportunities. "With our luck, it's going to be a bright, beautiful, sunny day." So many people say "with my luck" and follow it with something bad or negative. This belief and mindset of saying "with our luck" followed by something extremely positive is contagious and enjoyable. "Everything good happens to us." Nir's family says this whenever something good happens. There's no line at the TSA. "Everything good happens to us." The food was good. "Everything good happens to us." Little things, big things. Do more good things happen to them than bad things? Maybe, maybe not. Who cares? Beliefs are tools, not truths. When you believe those things, you notice them more. Your life actually does seem magical, blessed, like you're always lucky. 60% of opportunities are provoked luck. They studied super successful entrepreneurs and VCs and found that 60% of their opportunities provoked luck. They provoked the lucky thing that happened. How? Something as simple as sending a note of gratitude. Never hold back on a compliment. They're free. You get so much back from them. Thank you notes create provoked luck. Tina Seelig writes thank you notes compulsively. She wrote a thank you note to somebody. The thank-you note landed on someone's desk. You're sitting at your desk with things to do, and here's a thank you note, and to the right is your laptop with an email about a new opportunity. Who is going to get the call about that opportunity? You're top of mind. "Ryan's such a nice guy. He sent me that note. I'm going to call Ryan about that opportunity." Changing Nir's relationship with his mom changed his relationship with his daughter. Love is measured by the benefit of the doubt. When Nir started giving his daughter the benefit of the doubt, it pushed him to figure it out with his mom because he needed to give her the benefit of the doubt as he would want his daughter to give him the same. He's doing his best. He's not perfect. He makes mistakes. Those are the tools he's got.  You go from loving your kid to liking them. Nir and his daughter went skiing together for his birthday. The entire three hour car ride up, the entire three-hour car ride back, they were chatting. They wrote an article together in the car. You always love your kid. As soon as your kid's born, you love them. But if you do your job right and things fall into place and you're very lucky, you like them. And that's a game changer. Reflection Questions What limiting belief are you holding onto where someone else has to change? What are three other ways to look at that same situation that would put the control back in your hands? Are you treating your beliefs like facts or like tools? Which beliefs are you holding because they're true, and which ones are you holding because they serve you? Who in your life are you not giving the benefit of the doubt? What would change if you gave them some grace?

In this episode of the Angel Mystic Podcast, I explore the powerful idea that luck is not random and that we all have the ability to create our own luck through our energy, beliefs and actions. With Friday the 13th as inspiration, I share why I personally see the date as lucky and explain how our belief systems shape the experiences we attract into our lives. I introduce the concept of Lucky Girl Syndrome, which I see as a playful yet deeply effective mindset that encourages trust in the universe and an expectation that things will work out in your favour.I share personal stories about symbolic lucky items, including a crystal that I have lent to others who believed in its power, showing how shared belief can amplify manifestation and explain that true luck is influenced by three core elements.Throughout the episode, I offer practical guidance on upgrading your energy and regulating your nervous system and I encourage you to embrace playfulness, celebrate small wins and trust that challenges may be guiding you towards something better.I also share Angel guidance for the coming week.Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you usually listen to the Angel Mystic - just search Angel Mystic Podcast and you'll find it.Host Bio:Amanda Tooke renowned Spiritual Teacher and NLP Manifestation Coach is the host of the Angel Mystic Podcast.

Emily wakes up her kids by asking them, "Who's going to have the best day EVER?!", and that's how you stay ready for magic, every single day. In this episode, Emily shares how she sold out her 110-person event after weeks of hardly selling any (and being on the hook for 10s of thousands of dollars), why she never leaves the house without feeling put together (and how it makes her a better mom), and the power of living in anticipation. From spontaneous two-week road trips to teaching her kids that mom is more than just "mom," Emily's approach to life, business, and parenthood will make you want to wear your favorite dress on a Tuesday and say yes to opportunities before you're "ready."In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(02:34) How Emily attracts magic by expecting it and being ready(06:50) Putting your shoot-your-shot message out there despite fear(11:27) The real story behind selling Feast: financial facts, breaking point, and door-to-door sales(22:10) Why Emily is obsessed with dress codes (and what they really mean)(26:24) The "wear the damn dress" philosophy and feeling good as a mom(32:22) The spontaneous two-and-a-half-week Oregon road trip(37:46) What makes someone truly attractive as a human being(48:04) Why Emily feels sexier after becoming a mom(52:35) How to handle people who feel triggered by your confidence(56:00) Living in anticipation and romanticizing your own life(1:00:00) The psychology of investment: why price point matters(1:12:00) What Emily is still figuring out: monetizing long table dinners for the long haulKEY TAKEAWAYAs a mom, you're becoming a more powerful version of yourself. When you show up feeling good (however that looks for you), you're teaching your kids that you're not just Mom, you're a woman. And they need to see that.About Emily ShimwellEmily's why is simple: to remind you why we're here, to get us out from behind our screens, and back into real life, to make women feel confident, capable, and alive.Yorkshire-born storyteller, experience designer, mom of two small humans; Jack Wilder and Wilf Parker, now rooted in Squamish, BC. Emily's a night owl and an early bird, and her coffee order is never predictable. Gathering is in her bones. Her door is always open, the kettle is always on, and she'll happily run down the street just to compliment you.

Down on your luck? Get it together and get outside! In this episode, Kim dives into how her cat-like curiosity has always led to serious strikes of luck and shares how she maximizes her opportunities to get lucky. As a chronically online twenty-something, Kim can't wrap her head around the internet's beef with moms. The “don't worry, at least you're not a mom” trope is mental AF. If you have to compare yourself to a woman raising an entire human to feel better about yourself, seek help immediately. Kim redefines the “3-month rule.” It's typically applied to dating, but she thinks you should apply it to everything! Wait 3 months for that “new car” scent to fade before you start planning your road trip to la-la land—from business partners to friendships and everything in between! She takes on your confessions and begs you to stop asking whether or not you're someone's “Dream Girl.” Once again, the girls are giving their power away. The real question is, “Is he your Dream Guy?” Kim's biggest takeaway? Fall in love with the thing, not the idea of the thing. Paul Graham Essay "How To Do Great Work"Timestamps for you

America is steeped in the notion of rugged individualism. It's comforting to think success is based on our own hard work and self determination.But social scientist Robert Mark Rank says random chance governs far more of our lives that most of us want to admit. This week on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Rank joins MPR News host Kerri Miller to talk about his new book, “The Random Factor.” He shares how luck and chance play a crucial role in shaping history, the natural world and our everyday lives.

Episode 143 - How to Create Your Own Luck In this episode, I discuss how shifting your mindset can help you create your own luck. I talk about how our thoughts and beliefs influence our perception of luck, for better or for worse. Some key strategies I explore include visualizing your future self who has already achieved their goals, and bringing that positive feeling to the present. I also discuss the importance of taking inspired action while also embracing unexpected outcomes. Through personal stories, I illustrate how challenging limiting beliefs and embracing new perspectives can open up opportunities for growth. My hope is that listeners walk away feeling empowered to overcome worries and doubts, and to achieve their goals through positive thinking and a growth mindset.

In this solo episode, I discuss the concept of luck and ways to create your own luck. I emphasize the importance of being in the arena and constantly pushing forward to create opportunities. Taking a hero's mentality and adopting a growth mindset are key to creating luck. I identify preparation, attitude, opportunity, and action as the four ways to create your own luck. Preparation involves honing skills and expanding knowledge, while attitude shapes thoughts and behaviors. Opportunities hide in challenges and setbacks, and taking proactive action is essential to creating luck. - Sponsors:  AMARE GLOBAL: The Mental Wellness Company - get $10 off your next order - https://www.amare.com/155249/en-us/ (use code: EVERYBODY) Get 10% discount on all For Everybody products at https://shopforeverybody.com/ (use code: SFE10)  Get 10% off Jocko Fuel at https://store.jockofuel.com/ (use code EVERYBODY)  - Extra Stuff: Check out my mental health non-profit, YouAreLoved: https://youarelovedlife.com/ Subscribe to my newsletter: https://aaronmachbitz.com/ Something For Everybody Merchandise → https://shopforeverybody.com/collections/somethingforeverybody - To support me on Patreon (thank you): https://www.patreon.com/AaronMachbitz (Recorded on March 4th, 2024) Edited by Ben Rogerson (@BenRogerson_) Intro music by Residual Audio (Residualaudio.com) - Get in touch:  iG: https://www.instagram.com/AaronMachbitz Twitter: https://twitter.com/AaronMachbitz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMachbitz/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AaronMachbitz Email:  https://www.aaronmachbitz.com/contact/

Top of the morning to you my friends.Welcome my friends to this week's episode of Motivational Moments with Maria.  I am your Host, Lucky and Crazy Coach Maria. How many of you have heard the saying, you have the  “The luck of the Irish.  Do you know how that phrase came about? The origins of the ‘luck of the Irish' saying can be traced back to the late 1800's in America during the gold and silver rush. At that time, Irish and Irish Americans were some of the most successful miners to prosper and that is how the saying came to be. Let's dive deeper into that.  Was is really luck or was it, hard work, perseverance and persistence?Luck my friends is simply preparation meeting opportunity. And these “LUCKY PEOPLE” were willing to work harder and longer than others to achieve their dreams of a better life for their families.I want you to consider how this conversation plays into your daily life.Are you lucky, persistent and dogged in order to build a better life for yourself and your family? And can we create our own luck?  Believe it or not, we can influence our “luck” and reach our pot of gold.Your pot of gold is not necessarily gold coins, jewelry, money or material things as portrayed and written about in so many tales. What does the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow really mean?  It is different for everyone.  For me it is the freedom to work from anywhere, anytime and to empower and serve others to become their best selves, whatever that may be. So, in reality my friends, my pot of gold is all of you! Thank you.Listen in and as always,Stay focused, stay positive and have fun.

Luck shouldn't be expected, it's earned. Wes, a former mB Account Executive has grown to realize that he has experienced luck as a byproduct of the work he's put in rather than something that was freely given. Work that has involved consistently challenging himself and pursuing different opportunities to increase his chances of success.  In this episode of Tech Sales is for Hustlers, Wes Juchnewicz, a sales manager for DataDog, discusses taking risks and exploring different avenues in sales, the power of getting comfortable being uncomfortable, and the way he grew through his transition from SDR to AE.  

E10: What exactly is luck? Luck is commonly defined as, "success or failure brought on by chance rather than through one's own actions." In other words, luck is a matter of chance. It's the element of unpredictability in life. And it's something that we can't control. Or can we? Some people seem to be luckier than others. Is it possible to create your own luck? The answer is yes. And today, we're building your very own "luck playbook". ***TOPICS:4 Types of Luck (2:06)There are four types of luck: blind, serendipitous, expertise, and idiosyncratic.Blind Luck (2:15)Blind luck is how we typically define luck. It's winning the lottery. This is accidental luck. There's not much you can do to sway blind luck in your favor.Serendipitous Luck (2:32)We're adding movement into the equation. You generate a lot of energy. You start things. This increases the likelihood that you might get lucky. How so? Well, instead of relying on blind luck, you put yourself in a position that helps facilitate serendipitous interactions and force yourself to find luck.Expertise Luck (3:44)You may notice that something lucky might be happening where others may not notice them at all. You put in many years specializing and becoming an expert in a particular industry, and you're able to capitalize on that knowledge and eventually create your own luck because you can see trends emerging before anybody else.Idiosyncratic (4:51)This is the hardest kind of luck because you need to build a unique character, a unique brand, and a unique mindset. This is the most powerful type of luck because luck finds you not the other way around.Increasing Luck Surface Area (6:55)You can build your own "Luck Playbook" by finding a community, gaining trust within that community, and becoming an expert within that community.How I Created My Own Luck (13:05)In October, 2011, I flew across the country to California to break into the emerging startup scene in San Francisco. I eventually ended up working at a cryptocurrency company. Working here. I saw the exciting new opportunity in digital currencies and decided to invest in cryptocurrencies.JOIN: First Class Founders Premium MembershipDOWNLOAD: Hyper-Visuals For Our Episodes (Free)***FOLLOW / REVIEW:- Follow - Leave 5-star review***CONNECT W/ YONG-SOO:- X- Threads- LinkedIn- Newsletter***First Class Founders is a show for indie hackers, bootstrapped founders, CEOs, solopreneurs, content creators, startup entrepreneurs, and SaaS startups covering topics like build in public, audience growth, product marketing, scaling up, side hustles, holding company, etc. Past guests include Arvid Kahl, Tyler Denk, Noah Kagan, Clint Murphy, Jay Abraham, Andrew Gazdecki, Matt McGarry, Nick Huber, Khe Hy, and more.

Imagine yourself at a dinner party filled with people you don't know. As you head to the appetizer tray to get another snack, there's someone already standing there. You have two options: one, you could make boring small talk by asking how they know the host or what they do for a living. But according to Christian Busch, this is also a moment where you could create a serendipitous event. You could ask that stranger what their biggest passion in life is, what kinds of challenges they are facing, and the answers might lead the two of you to create a personal, professional, or creative relationship. Christian Busch is the author of the books The Serendipity Mindset and Connect the Dots: The art and science of creating good luck, which outlines the psychology behind creating your own luck by opening yourself up to new experiences. Christian is a professor at New York University's Center for Global Affairs and also teaches at the London School of Economics.Christian and Greg talk about how we can all create these serendipitous moments for ourselves and how the most successful business leaders and entrepreneurs embody this desire for serendipity. Christian explains how creating luck is like a muscle we need to exercise. They also discuss real world examples of organizations embracing change and instability as a way to learn and find success.Episode Quotes:Do you need to work hard to get more luck?10:48: The traditional approach to luck is either luck or hard work. Or this idea that there's a tension between, if you're a hard worker, then you created that yourself, and you were in control to do that. And then luck is the thing that happens. And you know what our research shows: no, a lot of people work extremely hard to have more luck, and that's in a way in itself then a skillset. A skill set that you're able to cultivate serendipity.02:32: Serendipity is really about smart luck. It's about the luck we create by how we react to the unexpected end, and how we can create the positive unexpected. Informed vs. uninformed experimentation15:23: There's informed experimentation, where you learn from mistakes and build on it. And then there's uninformed, which is just naive, and you kind of spend money. And that's what we all want to avoid in some way or the other.It's not a bad thing to cultivate serendipity07:40: The old-school leadership style tries to legitimize this illusion of control that you pretend to always be in control. You think you get power by pretending that you know everything and do everything.

How do you plan on taking your career to the next level? To answer this question, I invited AJ Eckstein to discuss how he took his collegiate career and turned it from small town community college to a prestigious university. Despite his high school's negative stigma, he attended community college. He then flipped his script, getting a 4.0 GPA and having five internships, before transferring to the University of Southern California. After graduating with the “Most Outstanding President Award” and “Diversity and Inclusion Award,” he created his Career Coaching Company to help graduates obtain their dream jobs.
