Sure, you own index funds. But 99% of portfolios have a "shade of gray" that's more active than we realize. This episode dives into the "shades of gray" in passive investing and how they affect our portfolios and benchmarks.  Looking for a financial planner?  → PlanWithJesse.com Jesse explores an important distinction that many investors overlook: owning passive funds does not necessarily mean you have a passive portfolio. He explains why passive investing remains a strong strategy, using research on the small number of stocks responsible for most market returns, the drag created by active-management fees, and the difficulty of separating investment skill from luck. From there, Jesse examines how allocation choices—such as favoring U.S. stocks, concentrating in technology, or tilting toward small-cap and value stocks—represent active decisions even when implemented entirely with index or rules-based funds. He then connects those decisions to benchmarking, explaining why investors need relevant benchmarks that reflect their portfolio's asset classes, geography, risk, and intended strategy. Ultimately, Jesse argues that investors should understand where their portfolios deviate from the broader market and use thoughtful benchmarks to determine whether those choices are delivering the results and risks they intended. Key Takeaways: • Beating the market is possible, but the odds are not 50/50. Stock returns are highly skewed, with a relatively small percentage of companies responsible for much of the market's long-term performance. • Diversification increases the odds of owning the market's relatively few major winners. Trying to identify those winners beforehand creates a difficult stock-picking problem. • Investment success can be difficult to distinguish from luck. Even when someone beats the market, determining whether that performance resulted from repeatable skill is challenging. • Nearly every investor has some degree of active allocation. A theoretically pure passive portfolio would hold the global investable universe according to its market weights, something that is difficult to replicate completely. • Deviating from global market weights is not inherently wrong. The important issue is understanding where and why your portfolio deviates rather than making those bets unknowingly. • The right benchmark should resemble the investment being evaluated. Asset class, geography, risk level, and the investment's intended purpose all matter when selecting a benchmark. Key Timestamps: (2:22) – You Can Beat the Market, But... (5:12) – Stock Performance Is Skewed (7:44) – Fees Make Beating the Market Harder (9:00) – Luck or Skill?

Guinness made you wait, Avis was second, VW was small. Andy Nairn and Richard unpack why owning a flaw beats hiding one, and how the same instinct led Lucky Generals to raise its own size in pitches before a prospect could ever hold it against them. 

"I'm not ready to make calls." "I'm not ready to practice my scripts." That's not a schedule problem. That's a limiting belief, and it's costing you appointments every single week. Here's the truth most agents don't want to hear: when someone says they're not ready, what they actually mean is they're not confident. Fear leads to paralysis, paralysis leads to inactivity, and the next thing you know the whole day is gone and you didn't talk to a single person. You need conversations to set appointments, and you need appointments to sell houses. Everything else is busy work. In this episode of Best Agent Hacks, I'm breaking down four tried and true ways to build call confidence in about 15 minutes a day. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 1. Pick ONE script and chant it out loud. Not in your head, not silently reading it. Out loud. Plenty of things sound perfect in your head and terrible the second they leave your mouth. 2. Find people who genuinely want to role play, then actually role play with them. Daily, not once a week. Your friend who never makes calls is the worst possible practice partner. 3. Accept the feedback. Don't judge it, don't defend it. Internalize it and implement it. The feedback is the feedback whether you like it or not. 4. Time block the practice AND the call block. If it's not in the calendar, it doesn't exist. 15 minutes of role play, then 9 to 11 for calls. I prefer mornings because it only gets harder as the day goes on. Done beats perfect. Your first rep will be your worst rep, and that's exactly the point. Opportunities don't wait around for you to feel ready. Luck is just preparation meeting opportunity, and it only looks like luck because nobody saw the prep work you put in when no one was watching. WANT THIS COACHING IN YOUR BUSINESS?

This week, Tim closes out the series reacting to an article he wrote titled, "What's Your Return on Luck?"

The gag order is lifted. For ten months Ted answered "what have you been flying lately?" with a cheerful bunch of nothing, because he had quietly bet everything, sport pilot privileges included, on getting his FAA medical. If you apply and get denied, there is no crawling back to sport. He applied anyway. This week the curse-word-laden victory text went out: Ted has his medical, he is legal PIC again, and by his own math he'll have "probably 12 ratings in the next 60 days."Same week, same show: Ben formally accepted a charter job flying SIC in a Phenom 300. ("It didn't say Chrysler 300. It said Phenom, right?") He says he feels like the dog that's been chasing the school bus and finally caught it, and the chat has already decided his Piston Peasant shirt must be surrendered for a Turbine Tyrant model.Ted then opens the books on how the medical actually got won: five months of preparation before submitting anything, more records than his AME could upload (they faxed the rest), a cash MRI, a concierge neurologist one block off Rodeo Drive with an F1 replica car out front, a congressional inquiry, and a personally logged bill of $21,000. Disclaimer on disclaimer on disclaimer: that was Ted's very specific situation, not a recipe. Talk to AOPA Medical Services, Wingman Med, a HIMS AME, anybody but us.Also aboard: Mark, officially the fourth host ("the fifth wheel... it's really nice for redundancy"), is off to build airplanes in the Czech Republic, which Brian was reminded has not been called Czechoslovakia for quite some time. Brian pulled the power at 10,500 feet over a very hot Tennessee and glided Lucy all the way home ("the Icarus approach," per the chat). Plus a five-star review titled "New Era of Hangar Talk," sport pilot altitude rules straight from the 700-page MOSAIC reading (61.315: unchanged), and the non-event event on September 19 at McCollum Field (RYY).Tonight's wisdom, via Mike Alpha Golf: luck favors the prepared.Mentioned on the show:Chrysler 300: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_300Phenom 300: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_Phenom_300Raven Career Development: https://ravencareers.com/Ted's video, "first flight after ten months grounded: my faa medical certification story": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCt_6pCuLgoIson Law, The Pilot Lawyers: https://thepilotlawyer.com/AOPA Medical Resources: https://www.aopa.org/go-fly/medical-resourcesAOPA MedXpress Simulator: https://wingmanmed.com/medxpress-simulator/Wingman Med: https://wingmanmed.com/Dissolution of Czechoslovakia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_Czechoslovakia

Send us Fan MailA sealed scroll. A throne room blazing with majesty. A man weeping because it looks like no one can move history forward. Revelation 5 is not soft or sentimental, and our conversation treats it that way, with awe, tension, and a surprisingly practical focus on fear, suffering, and hope.We walk through the scene where John sees the scroll and feels the weight of it: God's plan of redemption, judgment, and victory. We talk about why John's tears make sense, why the church's assurance depends on the scroll being opened, and why Christ's worthiness is not a small detail but the center of worship. Along the way we challenge the modern habit of treating “revelation” as private, recreational spirituality, insisting that biblical revelation has a purpose: to authenticate God's message and to anchor God's people.Then we ask the question many believers whisper and many skeptics shout: if God is sovereign, why does He allow what's happening in the world? We explore how Revelation speaks directly to that question, and what fills the vacuum when people reject divine revelation. Luck, chance, fortune, empire worship, fear-driven conspiracy, and giving evil more credit than it deserves all rush in when God's voice is ignored. We close by pressing the personal application: if we are in the hands of an almighty God, what do we actually have to fear, and what kind of discernment comes only through the Holy Spirit and the new birth?If this helped you breathe again and think more clearly, subscribe for more, share it with a friend who's wrestling with fear, and leave a review so more listeners can find the series.

Futurama temporada 14 vuelve con nuevos episodios y en este vídeo analizamos sin spoilers qué tal funciona el regreso de Fry, Bender, Leela y todo el equipo de Planet Express en Disney+. Después de 27 años, varias cancelaciones y más de una resurrección televisiva, la serie creada por Matt Groening y desarrollada junto a David X. Cohen sigue encontrando material para mezclar ciencia ficción, humor absurdo y sátira sobre nuestro propio presente. En esta temporada aparecen historias alrededor de la comida cultivada en laboratorio, las estafas, la política, las grandes empresas o el tratamiento de los animales, siempre filtradas por ese futuro disparatado tan característico de la serie. En la crítica hablamos de por qué el reparto coral vuelve a ser una de sus grandes fortalezas, de lo accesible que resulta esta temporada incluso para nuevos espectadores y de cómo Futurama consigue seguir siendo reconocible sin vivir únicamente de la nostalgia. Pero también hay una ausencia importante: después de episodios históricos como Jurassic Bark o The Luck of the Fryish, ¿sigue teniendo la serie esa capacidad para combinar las carcajadas con auténticos golpes emocionales? ¿Preferís un Futurama simplemente divertido o necesitáis que vuelva a romperos el corazón? #Futurama #FuturamaSeason14 #DisneyPlus #MattGroening #Bender #Series #Animacion Únete a nuestro canal y apoya a FUERA DE SERIES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFNyyACx7XbgZ4-S4jzNnGQ/join Únete a nuestro chat de telegram en el que miles de personas hablamos cada día de series: - Telegram – Grupo de debate: https://telegram.me/fueradeseries - Telegram – Canal de noticias: https://t.me/noticiasfds Síguenos en nuestras plataformas y podcast sobre series: - Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/fuera-de-series/id288039262 - Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3RTDss6AAGjSNozVOhDNzX?si=700febbf305144b7&nd=1 - iVoox - https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-fuera-series_sq_f12063_1.html Redes Sociales - Twitter: https://twitter.com/fueradeseries - Facebook: https://facebook.com/fueradeseries - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fueradeseries/ - Youtube: https://youtube.com/fueradeseries Learn more about your ad choices.

the foundation, the fuel, and the force behind every meaningful achievement, and the one thing that separates the life you have from the life you are capable of building. Motivation comes and goes. Talent runs out. Luck runs dry. But the man who shows up with discipline every single day — regardless of how he feels, who is watching, or what the results look like — is the man who wins in the end. It's about building a strong mindset, mastering self-discipline, and pushing forward when motivation fades. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just consistency, resilience, and growth.Instagram- Daily_motivationsorgFacebook- @daily_motivationsorgSupport us PayPal

Charlie's Toolbox is an institution for women choosing themselves, and this episode is proof of what that choice can actually build.   This episode sits down with Les Alfred, host of She's So Lucky and former host of Balanced Black Girl, who spent eleven years building a career in wellness before turning that experience into a media company built entirely on her own definitions of success. She walks through the real bar she set for herself before she let herself quit a job, the first dollar her show ever made and where it came from, and the decision to retire a brand that was already winning because it had stopped being true to what she wanted. She also breaks down what actually pays in this business versus what people assume pays, and what it really means to create your own luck rather than wait for it.   This conversation is proof that the life on the other side of choosing yourself has actual numbers attached to it, and Les hands over the ones that mattered most to her.   Follow along with Les and She's So Lucky here: https://www.shessoluckypodcast.com/   If this conversation moves something in you, that is exactly what Charlie's Toolbox exists for.

Tina Seelig is the Executive Director of Knight-Hennessy Scholars at Stanford University, the world's largest fully endowed graduate fellowship program. She is also Director Emerita of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program and has spent decades teaching creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership at Stanford, including in the Department of Management Science and Engineering and the d.school. Tina earned her Ph.D. in neuroscience from Stanford Medical School, where she studied neuroplasticity, and has worked as a management consultant, multimedia producer, and entrepreneur. She is the author of numerous books on creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, including What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20, inGenius, Creativity Rules, and her newest book, What I Wish I Knew About Luck. Her work has earned numerous honors, including the National Academy of Engineering's Gordon Prize for her contributions to engineering and entrepreneurship education. In this episode we discuss the following: For Tina, improving her luck by saying thank you means looking at her calendar at the end of each day and writing thank you notes to everyone who helped her that day. What a powerful story about her college professor. She thanked him 20 years after the class, and 20 years after that, her thank you letter was read at his funeral. As Tina said, there is no statute of limitations on saying thanks. Luck is also a long game. For years, Tina invited John Hennessy to speak to her class. And every year she wrote him a thank you note after he spoke. When she recently asked him if he would have kept speaking without the notes, he said, probably not. And she would have never known it was because she hadn't expressed gratitude. Now Tina runs the Knight Hennessy Scholars program with John. I also love how Tina applies this in the workplace and creates a culture of people saying thank you by simply modeling the behavior.

What happens when the business you built becomes too dependent on you to keep growing?Mark Bradley, Founder and Chairman of LeanScaper and author of the newly released The Landscaper's Operating System: Build a Landscape Company That Runs Without You, joins Dwayne Kerrigan for Part Two of a conversation about one of the most important transitions an entrepreneur can make: moving from being the person who runs everything to becoming the leader who builds a company capable of running without them.Mark draws on decades of experience building, scaling, and evolving businesses to break down the disciplines that separate growth from sustainable scale. He shares why strong systems and processes matter, how a CEO's role must change as the company grows, and why the ability to prioritize, protect your time, and develop capable people becomes increasingly critical at every stage.The conversation also gets into Mark's relentless approach to learning — seeking out experts, asking better questions, openly measuring progress, and refusing to let past success become a reason to stop improving. For Mark, better businesses are built by leaders willing to continuously evolve themselves alongside the organization.That philosophy has shaped each chapter of his career. Mark scaled TBG Landscape from a backyard operation into one of North America's Top 100 landscape contractors before co-founding LMN in 2009, creating the business-management software he wished had existed while running his own company.Today, he is continuing that mission through LeanScaper, helping landscape business owners build stronger operations, better teams, greater profitability, and businesses that no longer rely on the owner to solve every problem.His new book, The Landscaper's Operating System, takes that mission even further, distilling decades of hard-earned lessons into a framework for owners who want to step out of the bottleneck and build a company designed to perform beyond them.If you are trying to scale a business, lead at a higher level, or create something that does not require your constant involvement to succeed, this is a conversation worth revisiting.You can access Mark's book here: https://book.leanscaper.com/Time Stamps:[00:00] Introduction[01:24] Preframing the Landscape Industry[02:15] Creating Software for the Landscape Industry[10:22] Asking for Mentorship and Luck[13:53] Mental Shifts in Transitioning to Software[17:40] Overcoming Personal Overwhelm[19:22] Impact of Personal Goals on Business Success[21:57] Journey to Losing 140lbs[24:05] Advice to Younger Self[29:26] Initiating Landscape Management Network (LMN)[37:13] Keys to Business Success[43:00] Innovating Your Business Model[50:50] The Importance of Being Feedback-Oriented[53:25] The Role of Progress in Success[1:01:45] Scaling from 1M to 30M in Revenue[1:11:36] A Day in the Life of a CEO[1:18:00] Thanks and Connecting with Mark Bradley[1:20:08] Closing Remarks and DisclaimerConnect with Dwayne KerriganFacebookInstagramLinked InWebsiteDisclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed by guests during The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Dwayne Kerrigan and his affiliates.

In this episode of the Travis Makes Money Podcast, Travis and producer Eric explore the relationship between luck, competence, humility, and success through lessons from Conan O'Brien, Danny McBride, and Patton Oswalt. They discuss why successful people can be tempted to take too much credit for their wins, how ego can prevent people from reinventing themselves, and why staying grounded while continuing to develop your skills is one of the best ways to build a lasting career. On this episode we talk about: Why successful people should acknowledge the role luck plays in their accomplishments How to balance humility about your circumstances with confidence in your own competence Why ego can prevent entrepreneurs from taking risks, trying new things, or reinventing themselves The importance of continuing to create, develop your skills, and focus on work you genuinely enjoy How staying grounded and maintaining a sense of play can lead to more opportunities and long-term success Top 3 Takeaways Success is a combination of competence and luck. Skills, knowledge, relationships, timing, and hard work all matter, but luck is part of the equation too. Recognizing that doesn't diminish your accomplishments—it can help keep your ego in check. Don't let your ego take you out of the game. Whether it's avoiding a game because you might lose or refusing to pursue a new career path because you might not immediately be great at it, protecting your ego can prevent you from doing things you actually enjoy and discovering new opportunities. Focus on the work, not just the outcome. The people who continue to succeed are often those who stay focused on creating things they care about rather than becoming obsessed with how others perceive their careers. Building a body of work and continuing to improve gives you something you can control regardless of whether the next big break arrives. Notable Quotes "Successful people commit first, and then they figure it out." "It's not all luck. It's not a hundred percent luck." "Why take myself out of the game just because it's a challenge to my own ego?"

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great “formula” for all of us to use in our lives.  It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it's The (Complete) Formula for Getting Lucky!!  It is Preparation (personal growth) + Attitude (belief / mindset) + Opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + Action (doing something about it) = LUCK!  So many of these things we can work on creating every single day and then we will see different results for sure compared to if we didn't have this formula.  Keep investing in each of these pieces of this formula my friends.  I need to keep this up for sure!!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

What happens when someone who spends his life thinking about risk, decision-making and human behaviour is confronted with an uncertainty he simply can't control?Episode summaryMy guest is Paul Craven, a behavioural scientist, former investment professional, magician and keynote speaker, and one of my favourite people to talk to. When we sat down to record this episode, I noticed that Paul's voice sounded different.His explanation — that he had recently been diagnosed with oral cancer — took our conversation in an unexpected and deeply personal direction.We explore what his experience has taught him about uncertainty, why he deliberately chose not to Google his diagnosis, and the difference between having information and having useful information.From there, we explore luck and skill, decision and gratitude journals, relationships versus transactions, the dangers of binary thinking, and why sometimes the best thing you can do when you're in a bad mood is go for a walk in the rain. It's a conversation about behavioural science, but also about perspective, paying attention and what we discover about ourselves when life doesn't go according to plan.Key themesLiving with uncertainty and the psychological value of having a planWhy more information isn't always better informationAI, search engines and our desire for certaintyNuance versus binary thinkingLuck, skill and decision journalsGratitude and paying attention to what mattersRelationships versus transactionsStorytelling, lived experience and different ways of seeing the worldChameleon Thinking and the value of changing perspectiveGuest Profile - Paul CravenPaul is a behavioural scientist, keynote speaker and former investment professional who brings together insights from psychology, behavioural science, finance and magic to explore how people really think and make decisions.

This is Dark Work Daily—where excuses end and growth begins. Explore the resilience and perseverance required to unlock your full potential through consistent, unseen effort.

Welcome back to Night City, where Tyler has acquired a another cat, Randall has acquired a bedazzled bulletproof vest, and Ash has apparently acquired the Cyberpunk equivalent of Five Nights at Freddy's. This week, Marky Day becomes Marky Knight and walks willingly into something everyone immediately identifies as a murder hallway. Dave gets set on fire by a computer, Marky discovers that cartoon mascots are weak against bullets, and together they spend every remaining resource to adopt a homicidal digital hyena. Somehow, all of this turns out to be the easy part, because at the end of the hallway is a cybernetic nightmare, their kidnapped employer, and a corporate executive offering them double their money to please stop asking questions. Welcome to Cyberpunk RED, chooms. Capitalism has a boss fight. Show Notes Marky Day and Dave Costanzo reach the twentieth floor of Discom and immediately discover that the cheerful corporate mascots are actually armed security drones. While Marky fights Buster Swine and Electric Bunny in meat space, Dave dives into the Net Architecture, battles a Hellhound, catches fire, and eventually hijacks Hyperactive Hyena to turn Discom's own security against itself. After stabilizing a seriously wounded Marky, Dave pushes deeper into the network and uncovers evidence that Discom has been targeting local 3D artists. J-ZK's name has been crossed off the list with the ominous note that she is no longer an issue. Behind the final door, they find J-ZK restrained and wired into machinery. Mr. Frommiter reveals that he is also Gangster 3D and admits that he kidnapped her after she refused to work for Discom. He offers Marky and Dave double their original payment to walk away. Marky chooses violence. Key Takeaways Marky battles Discom's armed mascot drones while Dave Netruns simultaneously. Dave survives a Hellhound attack, gets set on fire, and later loses his Sword program to an Asp. Marky is seriously wounded but stabilized with First Aid. Dave spends all his Luck to hijack Hyperactive Hyena and turn it against Discom. Discom has been pressuring and recruiting 3D artists across Night City. Mr. Frommiter and Gangster 3D are the same person. J-ZK has been kidnapped and forcibly connected to Discom's equipment. Frommiter offers the team double their pay to leave. The episode ends immediately before the boss fight. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast. If you love Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and tabletop RPGs, this is the podcast for you.

Season Finale: What We Want But Refuse To Accept He walked offstage after a standing ovation and felt relief. Not triumph. Relief that the moment had passed. Relief that the ask hadn't been made. Ten episodes later, I need to tell you that man is me. But this episode is NOT about me. It's about you!(Want access to the Room?) Write to dov@dovbaron.com SUBJECT: The Room You've built something real. Won at levels most people only imagine. And arrived at a place where the winning stopped being the thing. To get there, you did what every person who reaches that altitude does. You narrowed. You poured yourself through a single point. And the pressure of that point is exactly what cut the diamond.   But here's the cost that almost never gets named at your level. To become that big out there, you had to become smaller inside. The other facets of you, the ones that didn't serve the single point, went quiet. The artist. The seeker. The one who feels things the role can't afford to feel. You didn't lose them. You boxed them up and shelved them because winning required it. And you called that discipline. Those facets were never dead weight. They are the fuel the next chapter runs on. This episode is permission to stop carrying it alone. To stop shrinking to be understood. To bring what's been waiting in the wings into the room it was always meant to inhabit. And it ends with something this series has been building toward since Episode 1. The ask. Made without armor. For the first time.   IN THIS EPISODE  00:00 The Ask Avoided 01:10 Thirty Years of Giving 02:13 Final Episode Setup 04:06 Growing Up Scarcity 05:14 The Inner Signal 06:32 The Cost Becomes Clear 08:12 Playing the Piano 11:01 Why We Refuse 11:48 Making the Ask 12:47 Invitation to The Room 14:54 How to Reach Me 15:27 Closing Reflections 16:15 One Last Question 16:36 Stay Curious Outro   WHAT THIS EPISODE IS REALLY ABOUT You've reached the point where the single point isn't enough anymore. Not because you failed at it. Because you mastered it. What's been waiting in the wings, the fuller expression of who you actually are, is the exact thing that brings you what you've quietly yearned for. And it happens to be the thing the world most needs from someone at your altitude now. This episode names that. Directly. Without softening it. And it ends with an ask being made live, for the first time, by a man who taught others to do it for thirty years while walking offstage himself.   THE SERIES: WHAT WE WANT BUT REFUSE TO ACCEPT Ten episodes.

Together, we discover how psychological, cultural, and geopolitical patterns drive behaviors, not just in people, but in systems. If you've been told your curiosity is a liability, it's your greatest asset. ABOUT DOV BARON Dov Baron has spent thirty years inside the rooms where leaders make decisions that shape organizations and the people inside them. He works at the intersection of the Emotional Source Code and the Emotional Meaning Architecture: the meaning that runs beneath every decision before it reaches conscious examination. His clients have come to him by referral for twenty years. He has interviewed every one of them. And he has said no to at least as many as he has said yes to.

What if luck plays a bigger role in fund success than anyone wants to admit? Simon Evan-Cook isn't just throwing that idea out there. He's lived it. He spent years on the allocator side, vetting fund managers and learning what really sticks (hint: it's not just your track record).  Now that he's a fund manager himself, he's pulling back the curtain on the truth no one wants to say out loud…  Yes, being good at what you do matters, but so does luck, timing, and learning how to stack the odds in your favor.  In this Episode, Simon and Stacy dig into:  Why some of the most skilled fund managers don't always win 13 ways emerging managers can make their own luck What allocators actually remember after your pitch And why being honest, even when it's uncomfortable, is the real differentiator This is Billion Dollar Backstory: Encore, because some conversations are just too good not to bring back.About Simon Evan-Cook: Simon Evan-Cook is an award-winning multi-asset fund manager. In 2022 he joined Downing to set up and manage the Downing Fox range of funds. Before that he built his reputation at Premier Asset Management from 2006, where he was a senior member of their highly successful multi-asset team. He began his career with Fidelity in the late 90s, before joining Rothschild Asset Management and then Gartmore. Simon also writes on investment (and beyond), including a monthly column for Citywire Magazine and his investment blog on Medium.com. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family and dog, devouring movies and books, and superficially damaging European golf courses.  ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus

He started with a paper route. Now he runs America's largest personal injury law firm, spends $600 million a year on advertising, and owns OJ Simpson's Bronco. John Morgan doesn't just understand luck. He's spent his entire life engineering it. John is the founder and chairman of Morgan & Morgan, the firm that has recovered more than $30 billion for its clients and built one of the most recognizable brands in the country. This interview is a masterclass in how the most successful people in the world create conditions for things to go right, and what most people get completely wrong about the role of chance in their success. John brings one of the most unfiltered, fearless, and genuinely wise business minds I've ever sat across from. He breaks down the three types of luck and why two of them are entirely in your control. He talks about moonshots and bullets, about what the stagecoach companies got wrong about the train, and about why the best stock market you'll ever invest in is the one you're building yourself. He also gives a jaw-dropping answer about whether all of this is worth it. Here's what you'll gain from this episode: The Three Types of Luck: And why you'll never look at someone's "lucky break" the same way again. Bullets Before Bombs: The framework John uses to decide when to go all in and when to stay patient, and why most businesses fail before they ever get there. The Best Stock Market You'll Ever Invest In: This the most profound thing said in nearly 900 episodes. You'll understand why when you hear it. You Can't Teach Hungry: The one trait that separates the people who make it from everyone else, and how to spot it in minutes. The Stagecoach and the Train: An urgent warning for every business owner right now, and what to do about it. I push John on things people are afraid to ask someone of his stature: whether entrepreneurs are born or made, how AI is actually hitting his businesses right now, and what he thinks about the hunger you either have or you don't. John Morgan is the real deal. Go get his book Life is Luck and go listen to this episode. I think it's one of the most in-depth conversations I've had on this show in a long time.

Returning guest Marguerite Lorenz is here to talk about all things trust and estate related. She has a new book, Luck or Control, The Life-Improving Power of Estate Planning,” reflecting on how a rushed, outdated will during the host's husband's terminal cancer diagnosis made planning urgent and life-easing. Lorenz argues estate planning is not about wealth or only death, but about documenting preferences for incapacity, healthcare, and distribution to avoid confusion, family conflict, fraud risks, and costly probate (noting a $46,000 minimum in California for a $1 million estate). They discuss choosing qualified estate-planning attorneys, updating plans, naming multiple healthcare agents, tracking fiduciary actions, avoiding “early inheritance” ambiguity, and real cases involving elder financial abuse, safe deposit boxes, life estates, pet trusts, no-contest clauses, and special needs/public benefits concerns, directing listeners to planforthis.com for a free toolkit.and you need to go and get it!  https://planforthis.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/californiatrustee/Previous episode with Marguerite: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-21-marguerite-c-lorenz-ctfa-clpf-master-trustee/id1530413097?i=10005103724910:58 Why Estate Plans Matter03:14 Cost Versus Probate06:17 Free Toolkit And Hiring Help07:28 Fiduciary Duty Explained08:37 Family Caregiving Gray Areas12:43 Document Everything As Trustee15:31 The Black Box Problem17:52 Choose Your Three People20:35 Agency And End Of Life Choices24:42 Mabel Casino Cautionary Tale27:23 Preventing Inheritance Fights29:46 No Contest Clauses And Spite32:17 Leaving Love Not Destruction33:26 Fairness Between Children34:02 Fairness Can Flip34:37 Needs Based Trusts35:39 Love Not Punishment37:46 Planning for Incapacity41:04 Life Estates and Marriage Myths43:51 Pet Trust Pitfalls46:53 Sign the Documents48:44 Wills and POA Basics50:28 Stop Clever Workarounds52:05 Safe Deposit Box Chaos55:35 Special Needs and Flexibility01:00:34 Fund the Trust and Wrap Up

Twenty years ago, a young logistics lieutenant solved an impossible field problem with a Franklin Planner, a satellite phone, and a contact who happened to be at his desk. It worked — but it ran on luck. Bill Pessin has spent his career since making sure the mission never has to. He joins Tyler Sweatt to trace the line from Army logistics to leading Salesforce's Missionforce, and why acceleration, not just speed, is the point.What's happening on the Second Front:How a satellite phone and a Franklin Planner solved an impossible field problem — and why depending on luck is a system failureWhy Salesforce is the “central nervous system” of the mission enterprise, from HUMINT to workflowHow Missionforce was born from a single dinner between Marc Benioff and a combatant commanderWhat “acceleration” really means when moving faster through the mission is the goal, not the metricThe one piece of government friction he'd fix first if he had a magic wandBill Pessin is SVP of Missionforce at Salesforce and a U.S. Army veteran who has led the company's national security business since 2014.Connect with Bill: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billpessin/Connect with Tyler: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylersweatt

What Role does “Luck” play in your life?

Bobby goes In The Weeds on his coyote problem after one attacked his dog Eller, and why he’s trying to relocate them instead of having them killed. He also shares the chance lobby conversation at Disney that led to him landing American Idol, even though he was only supposed to do one episode and ended up staying for years. Plus, Bobby talks about trying to turn Giving Tuesday into something positive, the backlash that came with it, and the wild radio prank that got him called into the office, accused of committing a federal crime, and somehow helped lead to his next big break.

Shaquille O'Neal calls the Knicks' championship a little lucky, and Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash aren't buying it. Even as Knicks haters, they argue Shaq's logic cheapens the execution and big moments that actually won New York the title. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts, and both admit the Knicks have made life miserable for anyone desperate to mock them. Mike Tomlin's comments about potentially getting the coaching itch spark a bigger question about whether he could eventually become the Jets' dream hire. Plus, Shaun is already convinced George Lombard Jr. has something special after just two games, Evan pushes back on the Yankees prospect hype, Brian Cashman's job security comes under fire, Jacob deGrom's refusal to go to Atlanta gets celebrated, and Mrs. Met makes mascot history.

Recorded: July 21st 2026 | Welcome back to another episode of Racin’ With The Boys. This week we have a very special guest and the first CEO in the history of NASCAR, Steve O’Donnell. The boys immediately start off the pod on Steve’s journey to becoming the first CEO of NASCAR and all the “luck” that went into his rise to the top. He reflects on some decisions he’s made that were wins as well as some decisions he made that may have not been the best. Will and Taylor then ask Steve what it will take for NASCAR to reach the dominance it had during the 90’s and early 2000’s. Steve gets into how every decision he makes, he tries to listen to the core fan base of NASCAR and make sure that they like the direction the sport is heading. Will and Taylor end up giving some ideas to Steve that may actually help. One of which being a ranking system sort of like how high school football uses the star system. Finally the guys get into what the possibility of NASCAR free agency could look like. Also what it would look like if there was an F1 v NASCAR series or what it would take in order for NASCAR to reach the same height as F1. Steve is unlike any CEO/Commissioner of any other sport. He seems to have his fingers on the pulse and is not your typical corporate CEO. With Steve at the helm of NASCAR, there is no place for the sport to go other than up.

Why is photography so hot? We're tackling this question this week, talking about why romance novels featuring photographers work so well and push so many sexy buttons.

Up Close and Personal (1996) is a movie with Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer about television journalists.According to this timeline from Harvard about the history of photography, the first surviving permanent photograph dates back to the 1820s, but most people probably think of the daguerreotype, invented by Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre in 1839.Um, in case you need to know what a darkroom is.There is a chain of 7 barrier islands in Texas on the Gulf of Mexico, Padre is probably the most well-known.The RestFor even more info about this episode, and to explore everything Fated Mates has to offer, visit: https://fatedmates.net/episodes/2026/8/3/s0846-photographers-in-romance-books If you wish you had six more days in a week of people talking about romance, may we suggest joining our Patreon?

#358: Today's solo episode started as a reflection on my own disillusionment and turned into a bigger theme: de-influencing. De-influencing myself from glow-up culture, from FOMO, and so much more. The more I let go of what I'm "supposed" to want, the luckier I actually feel — and I think most of us have at least one thing we're still letting an algorithm or a comment section talk us into.If you've ever gone along with something because you thought you were supposed to want it, only to realize once you were in it that it didn't actually feel good, this episode is for you. I'm getting into what it looks like to actually listen to that feeling instead of pushing through it, and what's on the other side when you do.This episode is for you if…You're tired of contorting yourself to be palatable and want permission to stop.You've ever felt FOMO about an event, a trip, or an opportunity and needed someone to talk you off the ledge.You're ready to get harder to influence, and luckier for it.Sponsors:Luxe Tribes: Visit https://www.luxetribes.com and use code LUCKY at checkout for $100 off your first trip.Rula: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Jack Raines is a writer and investor. At 24, he quit his corporate finance job at UPS, bought a one-way ticket to Barcelona, and spent the next year traveling through 25 countries while writing a newsletter that grew to hundreds of thousands of readers. He went on to earn an MBA from Columbia, help build Sherwood News at Robinhood, and join the venture capital firm Slow Ventures, where he invests in creators. His first book, Young Money: A Field Guide to Finding Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties, is out now. Key Learnings Jack's Grandma Ruth took him to Africa when he was 11. She was in her late 60s. She had the money. She said: "I can spend it on you now or leave it to you when I'm dead. This is better." Money has no value until you exchange it for something. We need to decide what we want that to be. Every year of your 20s is worth $10 million. (Nikita Bier) You'll never have this window of flexibility again. Say yes to interesting experiences in your 20s. Your income is going to climb exponentially anyway. Don't save $500 at the cost of a memory. Move to where the action is. Jack moved to New York for business school. Then San Francisco for a job. Then back to New York. High slope of learning. High slope of contact with good people. Network amplifies ability. It doesn't create it. A million times zero is still zero. A million times two is two million. The only real risk is not doing anything. Every opportunity in life comes through a person. The best networking tool is doing great work. How did Gracie Abrams open for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour? She wrote great music. Taylor noticed. Taylor called. In your 20s, potential is valued at a premium. In your 30s and beyond, proof of work matters more. Experimenting when you are young speed-runs the learning curve. You develop the skill of taking shots. That skill compounds.  It's much harder to start being risk-on at 35 if you weren't risk-on at 25. Personal finance is simple. Spend less than you make. Build a six-month emergency fund. Take the 401(k) match. Contribute to your IRA. Don't gamble on individual stocks. Stay invested. Stay employed. Don't go into credit card debt. Don't get divorced. User error interrupts compounding more than anything else. Set up the boring foundation. Then stop touching it. Most retirees never touch the principal. (Nick Maggiulli) They stack money out of fear, then die with more than they started with. Daniel Kahneman on loss aversion: the pain of losing $100 is twice as strong as the joy of gaining $100. That's why people over-save. Your burn rate at 70 is way lower than at 45. No kids at home. No tuition. Less energy to do stuff. Plan accordingly. Bill Perkins' Die with Zero philosophy... A useful insight was in the first chapter: his best friend took a payday loan at 23 to backpack Europe for three months. Same career trajectory as Bill. Just way more fun at 24. People don't want to think about their mortality. So they focus on making the number go up. If you actually internalized that you're going to die, you'd be more intentional about your time and money. Jack's champagne moment a year from now: He sells a ton of copies of it. And it's still relevant. Reflection Questions Where are you spending your best years earning money you'll never actually enjoy? What would change if you accepted that your peak-energy window is closing? Where are you standing still because the risk of moving feels bigger than the risk of staying? What does the only real risk (not doing anything) look like in your life right now? What is the great work you could do that would make the right person notice you?  More Learning #539: Jack Raines - Playing Infinite Games, Living Life Backwards & Building Your Platform #548: Nick Maggiulli - The Power of Compounding #373: Bill Perkins - How To Get All You Can From Your Money & Your Life Podcast Chapters 00:00 The Price of Becoming - Pre-Order Now!  01:38 Meet Jack Raines  03:27 Grandma Ruth Took Him to Africa When He Was 11  08:04 Why Every Year of Your 20s Is Worth $10 Million  12:12 Quitting UPS at 24 for a One-Way Ticket to Barcelona  15:10 How to Increase Your Surface Area for Luck  20:00 Where You Live Is Who You Become  22:00 Why Memories Compound Faster Than Money  26:23 The Financial Stability Basics Nobody Wants to Hear  29:00 Get the Boring Stuff on Autopilot  31:15 Why Retirees Never Touch the Principal  34:02 The Bad Trade of Saving During Your Best Years  37:36 The Bill Perkins Die With Zero Debate  39:15 Experimentation, Agency, and the Only Real Risk  42:53 The Best Networking Tool in the World: Do Great Work  44:10 The Champagne Question: Making the Book Matter a Year From Now  45:53 EOPC

Episode 4102: Chris Guillebeau argues that meaningful success begins with personal responsibility: showing up consistently, owning both failures and victories, and refusing to wait for someone else to create the life you want. Through personal stories of rejection, unexpected opportunities, and hard-earned perspective, Guillebeau shows how setbacks can become the experiences that ultimately lead to a more purposeful and fulfilling path. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://chrisguillebeau.com/personal-responsibility-and-showing-up/ Quotes to ponder: “Remember this: many people can help you achieve success, but no one else is RESPONSIBLE for your success.” “Sometimes people let you down because they suck. Sometimes you're just not ready. Other times, they let you down to give you the chance to be great without their help.” “Luck is like a winning lottery ticket, if it comes your way, might as well cash it in. In the meantime, better to focus on what you can really influence.” Episode references: Korean Air: https://www.koreanair.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
