LUCK - Success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions; chance considered as a force that causes good or bad things to happen.

Stacey rolled the dice and landed on LUCK for this episode! Is there such a thing as good (or bad) luck? Luck has quite a place in our society, showing up in so many familiar phrases (i.e., dumb luck, beginner's luck, shit out of luck, stretch of bad luck, etc.) that is has to have some impact on the way we view the world and our place in it.

Is luck really an opportunity to invest effort? Does anything really happen by chance? Is it possible we want to blame "bad luck" for careless decisions (or indecision) and dismiss “good luck" in favor of crediting our talent, effort, skill, and ability?

Three questions we posed to viewers for comments:

• Do you prefer to listen or watch the podcast on YouTube?
• Do you believe in random luck?
• Have you even heard of hanging a piece of pizza on a string in order to motivate someone (or yourself)?
