About this episode

Stanford professor, neuroscientist, and bestselling author Dr. Tina Seelig joins Lewis Howes to unpack the science behind luck, drawn from her book What I Wish I Knew About Luck: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements. Seelig, who also wrote What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 and runs Stanford's Entrepreneurship Center, breaks down her Risk-O-Meter framework, the three-part model for catching luck, and the science of reframing failure, risk, and opportunity.
