Make Your Own Luck: Do the Right Thing at the Right Time

This episode explores the notion of good luck — whether it’s defined by random factors outside your control or as a matter of probability that can be increased, though not guaranteed. It traces versions of the idea back at least to the 16th century and examines how investors think about chance.

Cox puts a modern spin on the concept, urging listeners to prepare themselves to get lucky by focusing on doing the right thing at the right time.
