Episode 80: Lucky By Design – Show NotesIs luck really just random, or can we engineer it? In this episode, we explore how “luck” is often the result of preparation, pattern recognition, and a deep understanding of hidden systems that shape opportunity. Drawing from the unlikely success story of Gary Dahl's Pet Rock and the groundbreaking research of Wharton economist Judd Kessler and his new book Lucky By Design, we dig into the ways luck is built, not found.Judd Kessler introduces his framework of “hidden markets,” where things like tickets, jobs, and creative opportunities aren't always allocated by price or obvious mechanisms. Instead, they're shaped by invisible rules that govern access and advantage. We discuss the “three E's”—efficiency, equity, and ease—as the building blocks of these markets, and examine real strategies to decode the signals and systems at play.Along the way, we unpack how showing up prepared, making it easy for others to work with us, and understanding the actual rules of the game can help leaders and creative professionals tilt the odds in their favor. We also take on the coming wave of AI-driven speed and automation, and ask what it means for authentic signaling in a world where bots are getting faster and smarter.Five Key Learnings from the Episode:Luck favors the prepared. What looks like serendipity is often the outgrowth of discipline, awareness, and the willingness to build a “door” for opportunity to knock on.Hidden markets have hidden rules. Whether it's a ticket lottery or landing a client, outcomes are shaped by underlying systems—not just price or “fairness.” Learn the rules, and you can play the game more strategically.The three E's—Efficiency, Equity, and Ease—are metrics for opportunity. Whether trying to get noticed, land a deal, or hire the right people, balancing these three helps you become the option others choose.Reducing friction creates value. In creative and business relationships, being easy to work with and removing obstacles can be a more powerful signal than raw talent alone.Signals matter more than ever in the age of AI. As automation makes it cheap and easy to fake enthusiasm or speed, genuine signals—like real relationships and proven follow-through—become even more vital.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Wipe your slate clean of everything you *think* you know about the pet rock. You'll marble (err, marvel) over its true history! Its inventor, Gary Dahl, thought he'd created a novelty gift that was set in stone. Imagine his surprise when the pet rock's popularity began to crumble. Maybe he shouldn't have taken it for granite? Ehh?? Get it?? In this episode, Kristin also addresses the often-asked question about whether she's still friends with her former Let's Go To Court co-host.

Gavin shared a few days ago that my son now has a pet rock named Simon and he was humiliated as he had to read the pet rock a bedtime story.

This episode originally aired April 12, 2018. The woman hadn't shown up for work in two days, and her boss reported her missing. When her body was found, the evidence pointed to suspects who claimed they had nothing to do with the crime. The victim, herself, would help police to prove they were lying.

This week the boys dive into Historical Rich People! Daniel Covers Gray Dahl, creator of The Pet Rock. The Pet Rock created in the 1970s, Dahl came up with the idea in 1975 as a humorous novelty gift. He marketed the rocks as pets that required no care, feeding, or walking, appealing to busy individuals who wanted the companionship of a pet without the responsibilities.Dahl packaged the rocks in cardboard boxes designed to resemble pet carriers, complete with air holes and a straw bed. The concept quickly gained popularity, leading to millions of Pet Rocks being sold during the craze!While Tristan Covers Clive Palmer, an Australian businessman and politician known for his involvement in various industries, including mining, real estate, and tourism. He is the founder of the Palmer United Party and has been a member of the Australian House of Representatives. Palmer is notable for his controversial statements and larger-than-life personality, as well as his ambitious projects, such as plans to build a replica of the Titanic. His business ventures and political activities have garnered significant media attention over the years.If you liked the episode we do two WEEKLY bonus episodes on our PATREON!  / themodernapes  And make sure to follow the boys on socials!⬇️⬇️Daniel Bridge-Gadd

Send us a textA movie so bad my grandmother made us walk out? Passing fads of the 1970s? A remix from the first episode of the podcast?Episode 161 looks ahead toward the fall while looking back with a heavy dose of nostalgia.It kicks off with a movie widely considered to be one of the worst of the 1980s. Howard the Duck was a somewhat popular Marvel Comics character so how did he end up as a punchline in the annals of terrible movies? We'll get into that plus the story of how my grandmother and I walked out of the theater during the film.

Joe's on a health kick that includes lugging around the world's biggest, and most passive aggressive water bottle. He won't be taking up jumping for exercise though and has something to say to any adults thinking of heading along to jumpzone. Darren's considering investing in a storage unit - either for his own stuff or full of someone else's potentially valuable junk, it remains to be seen. Joe might be getting a dog, or else he's been scammed again, and after hearing Darren's tale of a recent trip to the vets with Frank, he might prefer the latter. There's no trips to the vet with a pet rock though, only awards ceremonies. There's also talk of some great inventions that never came to fruition and some bizarre ideas that made their inventors millionaires.

Sarah has big news, and we're so excited for her next chapter. She's growing up, making moves, and being committed. We discuss the Westminster Kennel Dog Show and the amazing dogs and their quirky owners. We learn about the Hungry Judge Effect and how seemingly minor, inconsequential factors can change your life. We hear whether handwriting is better than typing and the effects it has on your memory, recall, and information processing. We discuss a Bumble dating app ad campaign against celibacy that has women up in arms. Sarah explains why so many statues have broken noses, and why it has a hilarious, modern day application we've all seen. We discuss why paper cuts and stubbed toes are so painful and whether penises are less sensitive than fingers. We talk about pet rocks coming back in fashion and Susie wonders if we're being too hard on their owners when people across this great land are dressing geese statues and collecting dolls. Finally we learn why boredom makes us hungry and how to combat it.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Get 20% OFF @honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/braincandy! #honeylovepodHead to https://laundrysauce.com/braincandy and use promo code BRAINCANDY at checkout for 15% off!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Josie tells Taylor about South Africa's crooked cop turned brazen bank robber, the infamous André Stander. Plus: the stone cold truth about the most iconic novelty gift of the 1970s—the Pet Rock.

In this house episode, we speak with Concept Bureau strategist Rebecca Johnson about the concept of "weirdness" and brands. All humans are weird, and brands that are willing to venture into strange and bizarre territories have a chance to connect with their audiences in a deeply emotional way. From Puppy Monkey Baby to the Pet Rock, we analyze brand weirdness's impact on consumer engagement and differentiation. Weird is risky, but it's also highly relatable when it's done right. It can engender a form of trust that brands don't usually experience with their users, while also signaling a brand's values and vision. It's also a strong force of creativity. Everything new feels weird at first. Instead of shying away, Rebecca talks about how to lean into the odd side of human nature and create something novel.Links to interesting things mentioned in this episode and further reading:Drawing Wisdom from the Weird: Understanding the Influence of Weird on Brands and the Future (Concept Bureau): https://conceptbureau.com/drawing-wisdom-from-the-weird/Goodbye Relevance, Hello Relatability: The New Industry of Brand Connection (Concept Bureau): https://conceptbureau.com/goodbye-relevance-hello-relatability-the-new-industry-of-brand-connection/Interview: Kevin Kelly, editor, author, and futurist (Noahpinion): https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/interview-kevin-kelly-editor-authorPrivate Dinner Party: Clothing Not Allowed (The New York Times): https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/28/style/fude-dinner-experience-nude.html?partner=slack&smid=sl-shareThe Tube Girl is selling confidence — and her audience is lining up (The Washington Post): https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/19/tube-girl-sabrina-bahsoon/This Man Married a Fictional Character.

Los Angeles Dodgers centerfielder James Outman keeps a pet rock (complete with a drawn-on smiley face) in his locker both at home and on the road to help him hit. He's one of many players over the course of baseball history, to adhere to some form of superstition. From the Orioles' Mike Cuellar in the 1970s to the Yankees' Jason Giambi in the early 2000s, baseball and superstition go hand-in-hand. This week, Jason Turbow, the author of several books on baseball, including The Baseball Codes, explains why superstitions fit baseball's long schedule, Former big league pitcher Mike Bacsik tells us the one restaurant he wouldn't go to on the days he pitched, and we hear from Outman himself about the origin of the rock.

Humans, as a species, are a very funny animal classification. Not content to buy just those products that they need for daily survival, their money burns a hole in their pocket to such a degree that they end up spending it on absolutely ridiculous things. From the Pet Rock to Dehydrated Water to the Comfort Wipe and oh so many others, it is amazing what people will go out of their way to buy. Jon and Kurt highlight just a few of these mind-scratching purchases.
