About The Good Luck Club

The Good Luck Club is a podcast and video series that focuses on the idea that luck is an ingredient that's absolutely necessary in order to have a successful life and business.

In each episode of The Good Luck Club we invite an entrepreneur or change-maker to share their journey to success. For most, it’s never a straightforward one, and there’s much inspiration and learnings in the struggles they’ve been through along the way. And, as our name suggests, we’ll also dive into their stories about luck; the good and the bad, and its role in success.
