S8 Ep9. GrubHub Founder Mike Evans on the Insatiable Hunger You Need to Succeed as a Founder

Mike Evans left his job as CEO of GrubHub after taking it public. He did so in order to unwind the twelve years of insane work that almost killed his marriage and left him utterly spent. While it was a formative decision, he still needed to decide what he was going to do next in his life. For Evans, that meant embarking upon a journey and crossing the United States by bicycle in order to reconnect with himself and find purpose for the road ahead. On this week’s episode of FOMO Sapiens, Mike talks about his new book, “Hangry.” It details Mike’s road from startup to IPO, and shares what he learned on his journey across America. He also talks about what it’s like to start a new venture and how things are different this time around. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
