Taking business meetings on hikes, Josh Reeves CEO Gusto - The Startup CEO Show

There's a lot of hiking around here. It's not a requirement. I don't meet all people hiking. I obviously do meetings in the office as well. But if folks are game for it and want to go, have a chance to kind of do a more extended conversation. It's something I learned, actually, from some of my professors at Stanford. When you're on a walk, you can actually have silence much more peacefully, much more easily. You can kind of just be strolling. You can have a pause in conversation. It's not awkward or uncomfortable. And then you can delve deeper into something. You can also have eye contact, but also not have eye contact at times. And so you can actually just get into, I think, more interesting, deeper topics more quickly than sitting across from each other in a conference room.
