Talent matters. Hard work matters. But even Joe Cortese know sometimes, it’s about timing and luck. You can have the charisma, the training, the presence, but if the right door doesn’t open at the right time, it can feel like the industry forgot you. He reminds us of a truth most don’t want to say out loud: luck is part of the game. But don’t let that discourage you, let it drive you. Because when your moment comes, you want to be ready. So keep showing up. Keep sharpening your tools. Because sometimes, the break goes to the one who just never stopped. Do you think success is built, or does timing choose you?
