What if luck isn't random at all, but actually something you can manufacture? In this episode, Marcus Chen breaks down why "getting lucky" is really just a numbers game - and how you can stack the odds in your favor by doing more stuff and sticking with it longer than everyone else.

On Built Different, we explore the cold hard math behind success and why most people quit way too early. You'll learn that the average entrepreneur fails 3.8 times before hitting it big, discover why people making 10x more sales calls earn 7x more commission (even with the same conversion rates), and understand how social media tricks us into thinking success happens overnight when we only see 0.1% of someone's actual attempts. Marcus also reveals why entrepreneurs who've failed before have a 60% higher success rate on their next venture - and what that means for your own journey.
