Getahead - Behind The Curtain - Michael Acton Smith

A slightly different episode, this one recorded live at the first Getahead Festival, with founder Dan Kirby speaking to Michael Acton Smith, the CEO of the Calm meditation app, creator of Moshi Monsters, and someone who has really been there, done it when it comes to the rollercoaster ride that is entrepreneurship! 

Really fascinating conversation, and this is where the phrase "Behind The Curtain" slipped into the Getahead lexicon. It's fascinating to hear a man who seemingly has it all talk about his private fears, stresses and challenges, and how he dealt with these things. 

Enormous credit must go to Michael Acton Smith, who actually reached out to Getahead after somehow hearing about our first festival, and offered his services. We're incredibly grateful for his time and support, and we hope that there is something in this interview for you, our wonderful listeners!
