We also discuss the difference between making an ad and creating a piece of culture that lives on long after the campaign is over and Jimmy shares the incredible story of how he convinced Luke Aikens to jump out of a plane without a parachute for Stride Gum in 2016.

On Saturday, July 30, 2016, Luke Aikins became the first person ever to attempt and complete a skydive with neither a parachute nor a wing suit in an event called HeavenSent. Advertising legend Jimmy Smith was a part of the team that made HeavenSent a success and prior to the jump joined Michael Gervais - on the Finding Mastery podcast and explained why Heaven Sent is the biggest risk he’s ever been a part of - ultimately the trust he has in the quality people working on the project including skydiver Luke Aikens make him believe everything would go according to plan.
