[01:10] Jim Collins wrote a post about the “Return on Luck”. [01:35] Being white and upper class was a benefit to the founder of Microsoft. [02:00] However, there are many people who grew up that way, so why are there so few people like Bill Gates? [02:20] Luck is great, but you have to work hard to capitalize on it. [02:45] Eric grew up in a middle-class family, but has had a good deal of success. [03:05] There is something to be said for hard work and execution, because you can’t pick luck. [03:30] Eric found his partner at Clickflow through a stroke of luck (by chance). [04:20] Don’t worry about luck, it will just happen. [04:28] That’s it’s for today!
