This amazing adventure, which is described in his new book Hangry: A Startup Journey, took Evans through rural America on a recumbent bicycle, allowing him to slow down and appreciate the scenery while disconnecting from the everyday of running a startup. Society will often try to dictate what success looks like, but as Mike Evans and his story show, you need to create your own definition of success to attain your goals.
