Is your startup built to endure the long ride, or will it buckle under pressure? In this episode of Chief Endurance Officer, Greg McDonough talks with Nick, founder of Wove, a company revolutionizing custom bike saddles for cyclists. Nick shares how his background in organizational psychology and an endurance mindset helped him stay laser-focused on solving real rider pain points like soft tissue pressure and thigh clearance.

Takeaways:

• Leaders should cultivate and encourage a culture of focused dedication to a single goal or task, especially in the early stages of any project or startup.
