And the outcome of that, which I think really helped was, and something I'm actually trying to do more and more in my life, is every morning when I wake up, I get up pretty early and I just try to destroy myself and run as fast as I possibly can.

It just reduces my stress for the rest of the day.

And I've found that over time, a lot of company building is just making very good decisions.

And if you start your day off with basically something that is very challenging in a physical way, you kind of like have this stress relief through the rest of your day.

Your body has like absorbed that stress.

And I very much believe that in everything else too.

Like I try to do a stressful thing every week because I think a lot of it is like stress tolerance over time.

Yeah.

What would yours be?

I think it's getting up early.

We're in 60 countries now.

And so no matter what, I try to keep basically East Coast time.

So when I'm in San Francisco, I'll get up at like 4 a.m.

or 4.30 a.m.

And what that allows you to do is you can kind of like,

focus before the stream of slacks and the stream of emails come in.

And I think that like couple hours in the morning, especially when I can go to the gym and I can kind of think about like product and those things, that's like changed the trajectory of how I operate the company more than anything else.

And I do it when I travel too.

One of the ones I have that I think was a good habit in the beginning of the company and now is starting to get bad is I zero out Slack every 15 minutes.

And so I'm in almost every single Slack channel and I read every single thing.
