For Taskrabbit CEO Ania Smith, a professional gap year was exactly what she needed to rediscover purpose-driven leadership. She was feeling stuck in the Silicon Valley grind, losing sight of her "why." So she and her family packed up all their things and moved to Argentina — somewhere they'd never been before — to focus on anything but work. Upon her return, Ania was confident that this was the right path, which empowered her to scale as a leader. Today, she heads up Taskrabbit, an online platform hosting 60,000 "taskers" worldwide to help folks with household projects big and small. In this episode, Ania shares her advice for navigating uncertainty, architecting your reset, and cultivating a purpose-driven leadership style.
