Listen "Deep Work & Inspired Rest – Alicia Navarro"
Episode Synopsis
How important is place when we think about deep work? Why is inspired rest so important, and how can we find it?
In this episode, we welcome Alicia Navarro, a serial tech entrepreneur with a passion for product, brand, design and culture. In 2007, Alicia founded Skimlinks, which she grew to a $50 million a year global business and which in 2020 was acquired by Connexity.
In 2018 she stood down from her role as Skimlinks CEO and went on a journey to find her next venture. On that journey she became frustrated by the lack of creative spaces for deep work. And so her latest company, Flown, was born. Flown is creating deep workplaces and spaces for knowledge workers today.
In this episode we discuss:
how to put Cal Newport's theory of Deep Work in to practice
how to change corporate culture to embrace inspired rest
why saying no as an entrepreneur, maybe the best thing you can do.
