On today’s episode of This Magic Life, you’ll learn how to create your own serendipity as a college student, or someone farther along in your career journey, by expanding your “luck surface area.”

My remarkable guest, 26-year old Edwin Dorsey, walks you through exactly how he did just that while he was in college – and how it led him to launch a completely unexpected post-grad career...

As a highly successful newsletter author with over $500k a year in Substack subscriptions.

Edwin’s newsletter, The Bear Cave, focuses on reporting corporate misconduct, something “short-sellers” – or those who bet against companies to potentially make money if and when their stock falls – consider him an expert in.

In this candid, “you can’t make this up” conversation, Edwin shares with Andrea how he combined his childhood passion for finance and hedge funds with a dogged determination to investigate potentially corrupt companies…

And struck gold when he followed a random tip he got from a high school friend to look into a potentially sketchy nationwide babysitting company.

Edwin published a massive independent investigation, his sophomore and junior years, that exposed the company and led to a year-long investigation by The Wall Street Journal, burnishing Edwin’s credibility.

If you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone, follow your curiosity, and network with a wide-variety of people to attract more serendipity to your life and career…

Tune into my conversation with Edwin Dorsey to learn how to create your own luck in business, school, and life, and get motivated to take action.
