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 are 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.
