Passion Struck with John R. Miles

The Hidden Rules of Luck: How to Design Your Own Breaks w/John R. Miles | EP 678


Listen Later

What if luck isn’t a matter of chance—but a hidden design you can learn to navigate?

In this episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles explores how some people seem to “always be in the right place at the right time” — not because they’re blessed by fate, but because they’ve learned to read the invisible rulebook of luck.

Drawing on the groundbreaking work of bestselling author Amy Leigh Mercree and economist Judd Kessler, co-author of Lucky by Design, John unpacks how hidden systems, intuitive sensing, and strategic choices shape opportunities long before they appear.

You’ll learn:

  • How “luck” hides in invisible structures—and how to map them
  • Why intuition is less woo-woo and more Wi-Fi, helping you detect signals others miss
  • The power of “settling for silver” as a strategic advantage, not a compromise
  • Practical tools to design your own luck through intentional moves

Along the way, John shares a personal story of overcoming early adversity that shaped his ability to sense and design opportunities differently. Whether you’re navigating your career, relationships, or life’s next chapter, this episode will give you a new lens for understanding how luck works—and how to work with it.
