Mastering the Odds: Probability Hacking, AI, and Building a Future-Proof Life
Nov 26, 2025 Episode 106
Jack Krupey, Kyle Austin Young

What if your success isn’t about luck — but math?

In this episode, Jack sits down with Kyle Austin Young, author of Success Is a Numbers Game, to break down how probability, intentional planning, and strategic pessimism can radically transform your business, career, and investments.

Kyle shares how two back-to-back layoffs pushed him into fractional consulting, how he built a framework to “de-risk” any goal, and why thinking negative may be the most powerful advantage you have. They also dive deep into AI’s impact on jobs, the future of work, real estate investing, social media strategy, and how to tilt the odds in your favor no matter what industry you're in.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, or anyone looking to increase your odds of winning, this conversation is packed with practical, actionable insights.
