    how to get so lucky it starts to look suspicious

    Ever wondered if luck is truly by chance or if it's the result of strategic planning? In this episode, we explore how what seems like luck is often actually a mix of preparation, exposure, consistency, and making yourself visible for opportunities to find you. We'll uncover the three types of luck and discuss how you can maximize your “opportunity surface area.” Learn why taking more action can significantly boost your chances of achieving the breakthrough you desire. I’ll share personal stories from my career in YouTube and freelancing, including how I landed my first creative strategy opportunity by posting hundreds of videos. If you're pursuing an unconventional career, freelancing, or seeking to create more opportunities, this episode is a great reminder to stop waiting for the perfect break and start preparing for it.
