What if luck isn't random? Judd Kessler shows it's a skill you can build with the right mindset, habits, and risks. Sam and Sophie dive into how to design your life for more good fortune.
They break down the difference between randomness and luck, and how an abundance mindset changes the way you see opportunities. The episode walks through increasing your surface area for serendipity, leveraging weak ties in your network, and taking calculated risks. They also tackle the uncomfortable idea that failure is a prerequisite for luck, and how our brains distort our perception of good and bad fortune.
If you've ever felt like luck never goes your way, this episode offers a refreshing perspective: you can actively create conditions for luck. It's not about positive thinking, but about practical habits and a flexible mindset that make you more likely to catch a break.
