It's a story wrapped around randomness. That's what profiles are about more often than not.

Of course, Sacca isn't ordinary but to achieve the level of success he has had, its clear that randomness has a significant role to play (one that's vastly understated in the profile)

This goes for anybody that 'made it'. The luck factor is discounted after the fact except by those who didn't have it.

The main factor is the size of the pool, if the pool is large enough then some will end up to be outliers and those are the ones whose profiles you will read. The profiles of one of the countless numbers of also-rans never make it.
