Is luck actually random—or can you create your own?
Today’s guest, Nicole Perone, says luck isn’t some mystical force reserved for the chosen few. It’s a strategy—and she’s living proof. As the SVP at the #1 retail mortgage company and host of The Billion Dollar Banker podcast, Nicole has been studying what she calls the science of luck!
In this episode, we dig into what it really takes to create your own opportunities through personal branding and strategic thinking.
Nicole shares how she broke into a male-dominated industry at just 23, scaled to leading a $2B mortgage team by 33, and the mindset shifts that helped her rise fast and lead with impact.
We’re talking:
- The psychology of high performers
- How to build your own momentum when no one’s clapping yet
- Imposter syndrome (and what to do when it creeps in)
- The not-so-glamorous truth behind “overnight” success
If you’ve ever felt stuck, underestimated, or like you’re waiting for permission—this episode is your wake-up call to stop waiting and start owning your next big move.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
