BackScoop's "Ice Breakers" series ran a Q&A with Jackie while he was Head of Academy at Tribe, the org connecting tech talent and companies to learning, career, and engagement opportunities.
The interview covers his tendency to see the world through a gaming lens — treating education as a way to "level people up" between jobs or career "classes," a framing that shows up elsewhere in his own writing too (see 3 Ways Running a Start Up is Like an RPG). He also talks about starting fundMyLife, his first company, during his PhD candidature — juggling research by day and a startup with whatever time was left over.
