Think some people just have all the luck? Think again. Joe, OG, Paula Pant (Afford Anything), and Chris Luger (Heavy Metal Money) break down what separates people who catch breaks from those who don't...and spoiler alert: it's not about being in the right place at the right time. It's about what you DO when opportunity shows up. And before that: how you create the conditions for opportunity to find you in the first place. This episode digs into three moves that make luck happen: staying curious (even when you think you know the answer), being generous (yes, it pays off financially), and staying flexible when life throws you a curveball. Whether you're stuck on a money decision, feel like you're missing opportunities, or just want to stop watching other people win, this conversation will shift how you see "luck." Plus: Doug's trivia gets weird (what even IS a buttload?), the gang debates pumpkin spice season, and you'll hear stories that prove the best financial wins rarely go according to plan. What You'll Walk Away With: The one thing "lucky" people do that creates more opportunities—and how to start doing it today Why helping others might be your best financial strategy (and the science behind it) How to spot opportunities you're currently walking past What to do when your financial plan falls apart (hint: the flexible win) Permission to try something new, even if you're not sure it'll work Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's one time something good happened to you? ...not because of random chance, but because you were curious, helped someone, or said yes to something outside your comfort zone? That's the kind of "luck" we're talking about. Got a story? We want to hear it.
