In this episode, I dives into the age-old debate of luck vs. hard work. Inspired by A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, I chat about how the characters’ lives were shaped by forces beyond their control, highlighting that success isn’t always earned through sheer effort.

I had previously discussed this in my newsletter, Sunday Strong and referenced that I would drop how to sign up for it here: https://www.ironstrongfitness.net/newsletter

In this episode, I also share insights from Malcom Gladwell's book Outliers and the example of Bill Gates who was lucky enough to have well off parents and go to a school that provided access to a computer a couple decades before most kids would even see one. He is a well known example of right place, right time - luck.
