Jack Dorsey's private life

Working as CEO of two major corporations - Twitter and Square - is a source of stress for anyone, but for Jack Dorsey (pictured) it was a catalyst for major changes in his life.
Dorsey says that after taking over as CEO of Twitter in 2015, he went on a strict diet, exercise and meditation "just to stay above level".
The CEO of Twitter and Square spoke about this period in his talk last week at The Boardroom: Out of Office podcast hosted by Rich Kleiman, co-founder of investment firm Thirty Five Ventures and manager of NBA star Kevin Durant. Durant). Clayman asked Dorsey about his fortune, which is more than $7 billion, and why he was willing to endure the stress of running two companies when he could live only for his own pleasure.
"I don't think much about the monetary aspects of that, probably because all of my value really comes from these two companies," said Dorsey, adding that he would have to sell his shares to gain access to that fortune. Dorsey said he sees stress as a motivator and an opportunity to continue learning, which has also caused major changes in his personal life.
'' When I returned to Twitter and took my second job, I became very serious about meditation, and really serious about just devoting a lot more of my time and energy to training and staying physically healthy, and also being more critical about diet. said Dorsey. - It was necessary. Just to stay in good shape. ''
Dorsey had to radically reconsider his daily routine. He meditates for two hours every day, eats only once a day and abstinences from food on weekends.
Dorsey usually wakes up at 5 am and meditates. Before the coronavirus pandemic, he went to work at Twitter headquarters every morning. The five-mile (8 km) walk usually took 1 hour and 20 minutes, said Dorsey.
