In this "Lessons" episode, we're exposing why some people get "lucky" and you don't: They're not luckier, they positioned themselves where opportunity could reach them and they didn't quit. You're either working hard in the wrong place or leaving right before luck shows up. I'll break down how to position yourself where luck can actually find you—and why most people quit 18 months before their lucky break would've happened.

In this "Lessons" episode, we're exposing why your relationship feels dead: You look at your partner and feel nothing. You think it means you chose wrong. It doesn't—every long relationship cycles through falling in and out of love multiple times. Most people leave during the "out" phase and never make it back to "in." I'll walk you through the three phases every relationship cycles through—and how to choose back in instead of leaving when everyone else leaves.
