And now let’s jump into episode 1957 of The School of Greatness!

Some Questions I Ask:

• So is there a science to being luckier in your life?
• What has been the most surprising part of your research around luck that would shock most people?
• What is actually happening in the brain that causes most people to miss lucky opportunities even when they’re right in front of them?
• How do you learn to retrain yourself to be lucky if you’ve always been risk-averse and never felt like luck comes your way?
• Where is the line between getting your mindset right and thinking and believing something is possible versus acting consistently to create that luck?
• Of all the things that you teach at Stanford in your classes, what are the three things that surprise you the most that people get the most benefit out of?
• Is there anything that’s felt scary to you when luck has come to you?
• Imagine you get to live as long as you want to live, but it’s your last day on earth, and on the last day you get to leave behind three lessons to the world. What would that be for you?
