b"When you think about serendipity, you likely think of strokes of good luck that happen entirely by chance.\\xa0\\n\\nBut my guest today says that we can play a role in harnessing more lightning strikes of fortune, and create the conditions to both experience a greater number of meaningful accidents, and make accidents more meaningful. His name is Christian Busch and he's a professor of economics and entrepreneurship and the author of The Serendipity\\xa0Mindset: The Art and Science of Creating Good Luck. We begin our conversation with what serendipity\\xa0is, and how it's different than simple chance, and is instead a kind of smart luck, which requires acting on the unexpected\\xa0and connecting the dots of seemingly random events. We then discuss the three types of serendipity, the obstacles to experiencing this force, and how the amount of\\xa0 serendipity\\xa0you experience depends on how you frame the world. Christian explains how to develop a serendipity-seeking mindset, including how to intentionally seed triggers for it. We end our conversation with how organizations and not just individuals can take steps to strategically leverage the power of serendipity.\\xa0\\n\\nGet the show notes at aom.is/serendipity."
