ITA001: Jenny Blake – Hanging Out with the Gremlins
For our first episode of Into the Action we had on the incredible Jenny Blake!
Jenny graduated college with a double-major in just 3 years before going to work at a startup in Silicon Valley. She then moved on to Google where she worked for 5 years.
She set off on her own when the success of her blog, Life After College, continued to grow and she published a book by the same name.
Right now she’s working on a new book, the Pivot Method, as well as a meditation app she cofounded called Lucent. She’s also the Director of Operations for an urban-farming startup in Brooklyn called Spring Ups.
Shes amazing and I loved digging into how she produces such great work.
In this episode youll learn:
How planning gave Jenny the freedom to live her unconventional life
The way she approaches new skills shes learning
What Jenny does to keep her momentum going on days when shes in a funk
What the resistance looks like for her and how she deals with it
A strategy she used to become more productive than ever during her busiest months
The details of the writing system shes using for her latest book
The weirdest thing about how she works
Thanks to Ronald Jenkees for his permission to use his track Alphanumeric as the theme for Into the Action
