How riding a bicycle cross country is like starting a company - every day starts with zero

What's this blog post about?

In this text, the author shares their experience of bicycling cross-country from Bellingham, Washington to Washington, DC in 2007. They emphasize how resetting their odometer to zero every day was a reminder that they had to start anew each day, regardless of how far they traveled the previous day. This concept is then applied to their experience as CEO and co-founder of LaunchDarkly, where they highlight the importance of continuous effort in growing a startup company. Every day starting at zero also helps them maintain balance and avoid burnout while celebrating small victories along the way.
