Is success in life just luck or the result of disciplined decisions?

In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with Dr. Michael Orkin, statistician, professor, consultant, and author of The Story of Chance: Beyond the Margin of Error. With a PhD in Statistics from UC Berkeley, Dr. Orkin has spent his career studying probability, luck, and risk; from analyzing casino games and sports betting to teaching students how chance shapes everyday life. He has consulted for the gaming industry, delivered talks at Google, and is recognized as a leading voice on the role of luck in human decision-making.

Together, Frank and Dr. Orkin explore how luck, probability, and randomness really shape our outcomes and how disciplined decision-making can tip the odds in your favor.

From lottery jackpots and sports betting to slot machines, blackjack, and business decisions, Dr. Orkin explains how to separate random variance from real skill, avoid the traps of “false gurus,” and apply timeless probability principles to fitness, finance, faith, family, and freedom.

🔑 Expect to learn:

• Why randomness is a backdrop in life, not your destiny and how persistence and skill win long term.
  
  

• The difference between luck and skill in gambling, investing, fitness, and relationships.
  
  

• What the Kelly Criterion teaches about money management, fitness progress, and spiritual growth.
  
  

• Why slot machines hijack the brain and what intermittent rewards teach us about dopamine cycles.
  
  

• How to spot and avoid the “double down” trap when you’re losing in life or business.
  
  

• Simple probability-based filters you can use every day: Is it correlation or causation? What’s the margin of error? Is this a lucky streak or true pattern?
  
  

• How men of faith can reconcile God’s sovereignty with life’s randomness and why gratitude reframes “luck.”

What happens when a man grows up without a father, yet is called to lead as one?

This week on The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich is joined by Pastor Ralph Johnson, a Husband, Father, Pastor, Educator, Leadership Coach, and co-host of the Altared Manhood Podcast. With over 35 years of leadership experience across the military, government, private sector, and ministry, Ralph now serves as Leadership Development Pastor at Grace Family Church in Tampa, FL, where he equips staff and volunteers across multiple campuses.

Ralph knows firsthand what it means to grow up fatherless. His story of overcoming the wounds of an absent dad and learning to lead his family by God’s design will challenge and inspire you to break the cycle in your own life.

Together, Coach Frank & Ralph dive deep into:

• The biggest lies fatherless men believe about their role and identity as dads.
  
  

• How our relationship with the Heavenly Father shapes the way we father at home.
  
  

• The difference between being “a dad” and biblical fathering.
  
  

• Why forgiveness is essential & how to release an absent or abusive father.
  
  

• The power of mentorship and community for men who didn’t have a model to follow.
  
  

• Ralph’s personal journey from brokenness to purpose and how he’s helping launch the Fatherless Fathers movement.
  
  

This episode isn’t just about fatherhood—it’s about identity, healing, and legacy. If you’ve ever wondered how to become the father you never had, this conversation is for you.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Fatherhood is more than provision, it’s discipleship at home.
  
  

• Healing the “father wound” starts with knowing your true identity as a son of God.
  
  

• Forgiveness breaks the chain of generational pain.

• Men need mentors, brothers, and community to rise as biblical fathers.
  
  

• You can become the father you never had and set a new standard for your family.
