There are 2 types of luck. What are they? 4 types of luck. 4 types of luck? There's this guy, Dr. James Austin is his name. He was a neurologist. And basically he hypothesized there are 4 types of luck. So the first type is blind luck. That's like random chance events of the universe, acts of God, winning the lottery, et cetera. Second type of luck is luck from motion. That's like you're creating, you know, that's like what happened to me at the gym at 4:45. Like you're hustling, you're grinding, creating luck that way. Third type is luck from awareness. That's like you develop a level of expertise around something so that you're good at spotting luck. You're good at seeing it as it kind of comes around corner, you can identify the lucky opportunities. And then the 4th type of luck is luck from uniqueness, which is like the idea that your weird hobbies, eccentricities, etc., actually attract luck to you. People come to you with the lucky thing.
