We Weren’t Lucky, We Were Prepared: Drea Nicole and Lex P Share Their Success Secrets

#355: Luck isn’t something that happens to you. It’s something you build piece by piece, and today’s guests have done just that.

I'm joined by Lex P and Drea Nicole, serial entrepreneurs, media personalities, and co-hosts of Pour Minds. We get into the $86 check that told them they were onto something, how they balance business and friendship, the beliefs at the root of the luck they’ve created, and why they both believe you can't get lucky until you learn how to clap for other people first.

I think you're going to walk away thinking about the word "lucky" in a completely new way, which feels like exactly the point of this whole show.

Press play if you're...

• Convinced everyone else's glow up came out of nowhere (it didn't, keep listening)
• Currently waiting for your moment instead of building toward it
• Still thinking about that one friend who got quiet on you the second things got good
• Nosy about the actual numbers behind turning a podcast into a real business
