This third bonus episode on the topic of luck features an article by Nate Finney, founder of The Strategy Bridge and co-founder of The Military Writers Guild. Just like Steve Leonard in the last episode, Nate says that you can make your own luck. But Nate goes a step further to recommend deliberately shaping that luck, as one would in a military operation. Get the right education, meet the influential people, attend the key events. 

In the military profession, however, this approach may seem careerist and self-serving. To that, Nate has some great recommendations to help success-seeking leaders stay grounded.

Take 3 minutes to enjoy "Proactive Luck" by Nathan Finney and be sure to share it with your team!
