Baby Names Zero-Gravity Chair

Shaan and Sam share stories about Jack Smith, a unique entrepreneur known for his unconventional approaches to life and business.

"Jack Smith started Vungle which sold for $900 million when he was 28 years old. But if you talk to him, he'll never mention it because it's not interesting to him. He left a few years before it sold because he was onto new things.

Anytime you talk to Jack, he's up to something new. One time you'll talk to him and he spent the last 2 months in his garage trying to build the perfect computer chair - like a zero gravity, floating on your back chair. He tried every product, tinkering with it until he gets it right.

Then when he had a baby, he didn't name it - they just called it 'baby' for the first year until the baby could pick its own name by crawling to one of the names. At first I made fun of him saying 'Jack, for once in your life be normal.' But then time passed and I realized it was actually a great idea because as he said 'Why would I name my kid before I even know them? I should see what type of name fits.'

He does things all the time where at first glance I think 'this is the stupidest thing ever, just be normal for once' but then later I actually think he's right a lot of times."
