Fortune Favors

The financial world is changing fast. Mega-firms consolidate, artificial intelligence accelerates research, and markets move at unprecedented speed. But in the rush to automate and optimize, something vital is at risk: the clarity, judgment, and the timeless principles that make wealth and success sustainable. Fortune Favors answers that risk. Bradley Harsch, portfolio manager and author, brings more than two decades of experience to a concise, thought-provoking framework built on seven distinctions: Intellect over Intelligence because raw knowledge is wasted without disciplined application. Efficacy over Efficiency because doing the right thing matters more than doing it fast. Structure over Rules because flexible frameworks outlast rigid checklists. Process over Outcome because a consistent method produces sustainable results. Engage over Avoid because facing challenges creates progress. People over Portfolios because portfolios serve people, not the other way around. Journey over Destination because success is found in the path, not just the arrival. These distinctions are universal. They apply to investing, to leadership, and to everyday choices. They are mental guardrails that bring discipline where there is distraction, adaptability where there is uncertainty, and perspective where there is pressure. In the end, Fortune Favors is not about predicting the future. It's about preparing for it. Success, Harsch shows, doesn't come from chasing trends or gathering more data. It comes from applying timeless principles with discipline, clarity, and conviction. Accessible, practical, and timeless, Fortune Favors is for investors, professionals, and business owners who want more than strategies. They want a framework for thinking well, deciding wisely, and living with purpose.
