30 - Lucky Breaks: How Random Moments Shape Our Lives

In this reflective episode, we dive deep into how luck has secretly shaped our lives in ways we're only now beginning to understand. From a Year 12 arrest that led to law school, to a cooking teacher who prevented a career-ending dropout, we explore the pivotal moments where chance encounters and random circumstances changed everything. We discuss why successful people rarely acknowledge luck's role, the pressure of being a provider in modern Australia, and how recognizing our good fortune leads to genuine gratitude. This isn't about fate or self-help - it's an honest conversation between two friends realizing that while we've worked hard, we've also been incredibly lucky in the relationships and opportunities that have come our way. Join us as we question the "hustle culture" narrative and explore what really makes a good life.
