I've come across two similar examples of a usage of の I am not familiar with.

彼は運のいい男だ 意志の強い人だ

I kinda understand how it is supposed to work but feel like I could parse it
better if I were to hear how they are supposed to be broken up mentally.

Like this （運のいい）男 OR like this 運の(いい男)

In other words... I want to know if it is saying that he is a man of good
fortune or saying that is is a man good of fortune.

ALSO: How often does this come up? Is it any different in meaning to 運がいい男だ?
Is it more polite or something?

question
particles particle-の
Alternate の particle usage
I think it carries the technical name "が・の conversion" and both 運がいい男 and
運のいい男 mean the same thing. The conversion occurs when a phrase modifies a
noun. The subject of the modifying phrase is then marked by の instead of が. It
should be parsed as (運のいい)男. This construction works not only with
"i-adjectives", but also with verbs, for example:

> 勇気のある人  
>  a man of courage / a brave man
>
> 肌の綺麗な人  
>  a person with beautiful skin
