When’s the last time you took a day off? What did you do? I took a day off to go down to Santa Barbara with my cofounders at Forward and hang out for a long weekend. What app do you use the most? I’d love to say it’s something like Strava, but in reality it’s probably like Instagram or Reddit for when I need to unplug my brain and fall asleep. It’s really just sleep and cycling when I can totally unplug. It also gives me time to call friends while I ride and just catch up and talk about life.Īccording to your phone, what’s your daily average screen time from last week? Is 24 hours too much? No, I’m at 12 to 14 hours some days. I can’t be on my phone when I ride, so it gives me space to clear out my mental inbox and get to clarity on things that are running through my head but that I haven’t had the time to fully process yet. How do you de-stress? Cycling is my meditation.

It often takes me a while to fall asleep, so I sometimes need to delve through Reddit or tech news on my phone to help calm down my brain and help me fall asleep. How many hours do you sleep on a typical night? The Slacks usually stop coming by 10 p.m.
