Bramica here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

So when it comes to the factors that lead to success, there's a tendency in folks to

discount the role of luck.

We like to think we're the complete masters of fortune that we can control everything

this force so we can experience success in the long run.

My guest today is written a book on the math of success, skill and luck.

His name is Michael Mobison, and he's the author of the book, The Success Equation,

Untangling Skill and Luck in Business, Sports and Investing.

Today on the show, Michael and I discuss the philosophy and math of luck, which activities

in life rely more on luck than skill to be successful, and what you can do to manage

luck like a poker player in order to be more successful in life.

Lots of great practical takeaways in this episode.

You won't want to miss it.
