I guess I don't see that much of a distinction. Anything done for physical health benefits mental health (and generally vice versa). I'd put it all under the category of 'founder health,' which is an overlooked topic in general.
VCs plan to invest for the long haul (7+ year exit) and want founder-led companies. Seems to me that everyone could benefit from more conversations around founder (physical) health. Would love to see a talk: “how I stayed/got fit building {unicorn}”

You should ask other CEOs on

great idea - I will. I suspect it might be easier here in Boulder because fitness is basically price of admission. But I think the tech community in general could do a better job of normalizing physical health as a priority, as has happened with mental health.

And meditate as much as you can. I have done that since 19, but some people are starting to discover that now.

Agreed. I can track improvement in our business tied directly to when I started routinely jogging and improving my health. Not just feeling better, but frequently best ideas are had when slogging it out on a long run.
