What's Luck Got to Do With It?

How big of a factor does luck play in our careers? On today’s episode we turn to the research of Dr. Richard Wiseman, Professor of Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, and we examine the 4 Principles of Luck and discuss how they might apply to us as production music composers.

Plus we feature "Sleeping Baby, a solo piano lullaby cue written by 52 Cues Community Member, Yuka Reschke (https://soundcloud.com/yuka-982386000).
