Is success about willpower… or something more unpredictable?
In this unscripted and unedited episode of Happy Accidents, Dennis flips the script and explores the surprising connection between the famous Marshmallow Test and the role of serendipity in success.
You’ll hear why delayed gratification does matter... but also why it’s not the full story. Through real-world examples (like James Dyson’s journey), his TED Talk insights, and a candid take on free will, faith, and timing, Dennis breaks down the two possible paths we follow when chasing success and how unexpected opportunities often hold the key.
This is not your typical episode. No guests. No storytelling scripts. Just a mic, a message, and a refreshing perspective on what really moves the needle in life and business.
