In this brief interview, the former Boston Consulting Group chairman, Joe Davis, is asked about the daily or weekly habit he swears by to maintain mental sharpness and balance. Davis explains that his go‑to practice is running, a habit he has maintained since age 13. At 67, he still runs almost every day, covering distances from 2 miles up to 10 miles in his younger years. He emphasizes that running outdoors, rather than on a treadmill, provides a mental break and helps him stay focused. He concludes by encouraging others to find their own personal activity that offers similar clarity.

You've had a long, high impact career. You were at.
Boston Consulting group for over 30 years. You were part of the leadership team that brought Super Bowl 50 to San Francisco. What is something that you do daily or weekly that you swear by to stay sharp and balanced?
No, that one's very simple for me. I am a runner, not a marathoner. But you know, and I have run since I was 13. I'm 67 now. Maybe not every day anymore, but absolutely almost nearly every day. And whether it's 2 miles or my younger days, 5 or 10 miles, that's the thing I swear by. Obviously exercise gets you away from everything. And I run outside. I don't think you can think the same on a treadmill. But for me, without question, running was my go to to stay sharp and balanced, to step away. You know, everyone's got to find their own thing. Whatever you do fine, make sure then you do it.
