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. 0:00 Intro 1:11 How Bill Gates Inspired Jack 9:45 Tips For To Have The Best Think Week 27:22 “I’m Playing The Role…” 38:42 Entrepreneurs Who Sell Their Company 42:56 The Moment Jack Realized He Was Playing A Role 49:00 Quarterly Relationship Reviews 53:11 How To Get In Flow 1:07:10 Challenge Links Mentioned: Timed Locked Box – https://www.amazon.com/Timed-Locked-Phones-Snacks-Medium/dp/B00E9J3MLM/• https://www.vipassana-for-hackers.org Book Stand – https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005IV6U0U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 AlphaSmart – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaSmart GetFreeWrite.com https://www.balisilentretreat.com The New Toughness Training for Sports by James E.
