Why so much on the luck side of it?

Well, here's what happened.

A couple, I don't know, months ago, months and months ago, Forbes magazine had me on the cover as one of the 700 or so odd billionaires in the country.

And it was a stunning thing to look at because you're so busy climbing, you're not really counting.

And then all of a sudden there it is.

And so I then started thinking back about everything, everything I have done to get to where I am.

And when I did that look back in the rear view mirror, what I saw were a thousand left turns, a thousand right turns, a thousand U-turns, and a lot of time it was just flipping a coin or my gut.

and then you end up here.

And what I saw was a lot of luck.

Now, everybody hates to be told they're lucky.

The more successful you are, the last thing you wanna hear is that you're lucky.

Like if somebody were to tell you,

You're lucky to be this great, big, huge DJ in America with shows everywhere.

You'd push back hard because you know what it took for you to get here.

You know all the pitfalls and all the detours.

But when I looked at it, I saw luck.

But I saw three types of luck.

Pure luck.

That's just catching lightning in a bottle.

Planned luck,
