“You need a reason to stay at your job, not a reason to leave.” In this week’s 10Adventures podcast, host Richard Campbell is joined by the founder of GrubHub Mike Evans who, upon realizing his reasons for staying at the company changed, left behind his successful startup to travel across the United States on the Trans America Trail.
This amazing adventure, which is described in his new book Hangry: A Startup Journey, took Evans through rural America on a recumbent bicycle, allowing him to slow down and appreciate the scenery while disconnecting from the everyday of running a startup. Society will often try to dictate what success looks like, but as Mike Evans and his story show, you need to create your own definition of success to attain your goals.
If you can’t get enough of Mike Evans and his fascinating post-Grubhub travels, make sure to check out his Youtube channel and website, both of which feature some amazing adventure content.
