Hi Mark, that sounds lovely. I’m the kind of person who prefers sunrise over sunset, though my calendar is often the opposite. I just finished a long training block for an upcoming ultra, so I’m balanced between boardroom energy and sore muscles. Since you’re on the Katy Trail, you must be based in Kansas City? What’s pulled you toward that specific running community?

Living in Dallas while I’m anchored in Mumbai makes a "date" tricky, but I respect the hustle. My ultra training *is* my gym; I don’t do standard weights. It’s all long runs and strength work to keep me safe for the race, not aesthetics. I balance it by treating training like a critical business meeting—non-negotiable. Does your tech work keep you in Dallas year-round, or are you often traveling like the rest of us founders?

Mumbai’s traffic is a cardio class in itself. I protect my training blocks fiercely because energy fuels my decision-making. Honestly, my biggest red flag is low ambition. I thrive on momentum and growth; a static career would feel like a ceiling, not a floor. I need someone who chases big goals and isn’t intimidated by the spotlight of my public life. Do you have a "big idea" you’re currently pushing hard, or is your focus more on stability?

I sync them by treating rest as strategy, not weakness. If I’m burned out, my leadership suffers. For a deal-breaker, it’s absolutely a sedentary lifestyle. If you view fitness as a chore rather than a passion, we’ll clash on shared activities. Also, I need comfort with media exposure. My work is public. Do you have kids or family back in Dallas that would factor into long-distance or relocation plans?
