#382: Jack Smith – How To Take A "Think Week" To Find Flow
Episode description
Jack Smith is an entrepreneur. He previously sold his company Vungle to Blackstone for $750 million in 2019. But in this conversation, we didn't discuss his company (too much). Instead, we spoke about how Bill Gates' Think Week impacted Jack, what happens when we play roles, how to get into flow, and the questions he asks himself during his quarterly relationship reviews.
