Yes, yes.

So this is something, I've been very fascinated by luck for a very, very, very long time.

I grew up in a family where my father talked about luck a lot, and I questioned his understanding of what luck was.

He sort of thought things just happened to him, and I watched as he moved through the world, and I realized, no, no, no, you are setting the stage for these lucky things.

incidents all the time.

And so I realized that there are several things that you have to keep in mind.

First of all, opportunities for luck are ubiquitous.

They're abundant.

There's a prize in every room and it's up to you to find it.

And so if luck is like the wind, invisible but powerful, you need to build a sail to catch the winds of luck.

So there are three pieces of the puzzle.

First is if you're going to build a sail, you need to start with your ship.

And your ship is all the internal work that you need to do to set the stage for being lucky.

The second is you need to recruit your crew.

Most people are not lucky by themselves.

There are other people who contribute to that success.

And third, you hoist the sail.

And so I then unpack all the things you need to do to build your ship, to recruit your crew, and to hoist your sail.

Yes, we all have a story that we tell about who we are in the world.

It's kind of interesting because you think about if you were to write your life story, it might take you a few hours, but you've lived for decades.
