Why are we so afraid of luck? - Soul Talk

What this episode covers

This week, Hollie shares a contemplation she has been having for a while now: why do we feel the need to deflect the role luck plays in our lives? The constant stream of "I'm not lucky, I work really hard" commentary - while well-intended - also lends itself to a complete deflection of the fact that, to a large degree, luck, good fortune, privilege and chance all play a role in our lives - no matter how "hard" we work. And this isn't a bad thing at all. Let's reclaim our relationship with luck!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
