The Founder
I'm Graeme.
2019: my friends bet me at a bar in Osaka that I couldn't walk 100,000 steps before midnight. They were right — I failed. Twice. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Four years later, I finally did it on my honeymoon. Then I did it again.
Now I'm doing this every month. Turns out the best ideas, the clearest thinking, and the best sleep of your life are all hiding behind a really long walk.
