Each day or each moment is just like, what book do you want to read next type of thing? And so basically I would take a massive carry-on bag of books. It was 50 pounds because that's how much you're allowed to have as a checked bag. That's the weight limit, you know. The organizer set up in my suitcase is ideal for carrying books to avoid them getting bashed up.
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.
