The Luck Quotient isn’t just about engineering opportunity. It’s about surviving the attempts that don’t work…and having the self-awareness to extract the lesson from each one. The people with the highest LQ aren’t the ones who never failed. They’re the ones who failed most instructively.

16 US colleges now cost over $100k per year. 2/3 of Americans say a degree isn’t worth the price. And yet in wealthy zip codes the demand hasn’t budged. Because the diploma was never really about ROI. It’s about belonging. The cost of embarrassment of your golden child not participating stings more to a parent than writing a six figure tuition check. That’s a different ROI calculation entirely.

Luck isn’t random. It’s what happens when discipline meets preparation and you’ve left the door open to opportunity. Engineer your luck. Make it a game…play and have fun.

@brokencuffs Many such stories, most of which will never be memorialized in the internet archives. The war stories from the OGs still in the industry are the best ones.

@MrFamilyOffice Most likely miserable, but if allows you to have front seat on underwriting number of private investments + build network then could be worth the temporary pain for a few years

@realEstateTrent Don’t take the red line/don’t walk and email in the Loop. Midwest nice rings true even in Chicago (especially coming from NYC).
