Judd Kessler presents Lucky by Design, featuring Seth Stephens Davidowitz

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Judd Kessler to celebrate and discuss his new book, Lucky by Design: a book that pulls back the curtain on hidden markets that determine who gets what in everyday life—and how to tip the scales in your favor.
