“I hate it, but it's over fast.”
Fast Company|Winter 2021-2022
In the morning, I take five Duolingo lessons. I do three French lessons, one Portuguese lesson, and, of late, a Japanese lesson.

“I hate it, but it's over fast.”

It’s mostly to test out the product: My teams get reports from me at 6:30 a.m. every day, saying, “You should fix this,” or “You should improve this.” Then I work out. I do some weight training, followed by 16 minutes of running as fast as I can, which is like 9 miles an hour. When I do it, I look like I’m having a heart attack. I do it to optimize my time— I burn about 360 calories. I hate it, but it’s over fast.

Then I head to the office. I believe in everyone being in the office together, so we are getting back to that [with employees coming in three days a week, starting in January]. It’s important to have serendipitous interactions to generate good ideas. I try to break for lunch with my employees at least a couple times a week. I like to hear about their lives outside of work.

THE NEW RULES OF BUSINESS TRAVEL

In the era of hybrid teams, everyone is a road warrior-not just sales teams and C-suite execs. It's part of why business travel spending is expected to finally reach, and perhaps surpass, pre-pandemic levels by the end of the year, according to Deloitte. But, as with everything, work trips are not what they were in 2019. From airlines to banks, companies are finding new ways to make business travel easier-and even a little fun.
