I could not be more delighted.

Thank you so much for having me.

I couldn't be more delighted to share this information because when people understand that they have more agency in their lives, they realize that they have levers they can use every single day to make themselves luckier.

First of all, please call me Tina.

The definition of luck is success or failure apparently caused by chance.

That's the point.

I mean, this is really important.

The word apparently, it looks on the surface as though it's chance, but really underneath, there are things that you have done to tempt good luck your way.

Exactly.

And in fact, we often use the word luck to humbly say, oh, I didn't have anything to do with this.

But if you actually unpack it, you'll see what actually happened to bring that good luck your way.

Or people don't understand the things they did to make themselves luckier.

And so what I've been doing is unpacking all the things that are in that apparently to show the things that people actually are doing to make themselves luckier.

Well, first of all, you have to realize that there is a physics to luck.

All of the world is cause and effect, right?

Yes.

Fortune is the things that happen to you.

Luck is what you control.

And it's very, very important to distinguish between those two things because people conflate the concept of fortune and luck and they make a mistake in thinking that everything is just happening to them.

Well, of course, there are some things that are out of your control.
