UberX. Uber has changed how I get around any town and helps me live a more efficient lifestyle.
OrderUp T-shirt. Be proud of the brand you’ve built, and wear it with pride. The team has said that I wear the most OrderUp swag per day and this T-shirt is my go-to.
Tri-blend is where it’s at.
Running shoes. I feel free and grounded when I run. I’m thankful for the ability to put these shoes on each and every time I go for a run in whatever city I’m exploring.
Picture of my siblings. My family means the world to me. I have photos and cards from my family throughout my condo to remind me of them when I’m not visiting them in Indianapolis.
Bose headphones. Music is such a powerful tool. It motivates me when I’m down, helps me concentrate when I need to focus, and is a common denominator in some of my most memorable life experiences. These trusty headphones come with me wherever I go.
The Hard Thing about Hard Things by Ben Horowitz. This is the most entertaining and thought-provoking book for any CEO or manager out there. I find myself looking back at pages and chapters often.
Pool. When I swim laps, the world is quiet. A good lap pool helps me slow down, release some stress, and burn some energy.
Southwest window seat. I love to dream about what’s to come on flights. A good window seat and a view of a sunset always inspires me.
Camera. I take this with me when I travel and to most events I attend. While I’m a novice at photography, I learn a little something every time I use it.
Notepad and pen. I analyze and dream most of the day. A good notepad and pen capture these ideas.
