Fortune vs. Luck, and Why It Matters | Dr. Tina Seelig
About this episode
What if the story you keep telling about yourself is the only thing standing between you and everything you want?
You will hear the real difference between fortune and luck, and why one of them is completely in your control. Dr. Tina Seelig, a Stanford professor and neuroscientist, breaks down the framework from her book What I Wish I Knew About Luck and explains why the wind of opportunity might be blowing right past you.
Tina grew up terrified of things most people never think twice about. She rebuilt her entire risk profile from scratch, one uncomfortable moment at a time. As did Lewis.
You will learn why the words other people say about you can become a program running your whole life, and how to finally overwrite it.
This conversation will make you rethink every excuse you have ever made for staying small.
