Move Your Mind with Nick Bracks

#202: How Luck, Risk, and Persistence Drive Success w / Dr. Mike Orkin


Listen Later

How much of success comes down to luck, and how much is in your control?


In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Orkin, a statistician, author, and expert in probability, to break down the interplay between chance, risk, and persistence. Drawing from decades of experience, Dr. Orkin shares insights into how randomness shapes our lives and the strategies we can use to navigate uncertainty.

We discuss lessons from high-stakes industries, like crypto and gambling, and how principles like money management and resilience can apply to anyone chasing big goals.


Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or just curious about how to stack the odds in your favour, this episode is full of practical wisdom.


  • The interplay of luck, risk, and persistence in achieving success.
  • Lessons from high-profile failures and the importance of money management.
  • Navigating randomness and leveraging it to create opportunities.
