It’s kind of funny – for a while when I was young doing it, it was a question of trying to beat my time from the previous year. And then as compared to my Bain colleagues I was like last or second to last, and it’s like, “This is how I kind of feel about my career.” I did the Hustle Up the Hancock once at Bain and I remember… You talk about competitively – I remember, I think as compared to everybody in the Hustle Up the Hancock I think I was just slightly above average. They usually put people in the stairwells with the big foam fingers and they’ll high five you every four floors or something and be like, “Oh, yeah!” And they put signs inside the stairwell to tell you how well you’re doing, like, “You’ve climbed higher than the Eiffel Tower.” And it’s a lot of fun. So there are climbs for the Hancock building, the Willis Tower, the Aon Center, and a lot of the other iconic Chicago skyscrapers.īut the Hustle Up the Hancock, I personally believe is the most fun to do. So that means that people have to find other ways to stay active. Right now, I look out the window and it’s nice and sunny, but it’s also -4° outside currently. So, you can have a lot of 5K or 10K runs in the summer time… Yeah, it’s actually a pretty big thing here in Chicago, (a) because there are so many scrapers and (b) because the weather is so terrible for six months of the year. And he got our company involved, and our whole entire company like, “Yeah, let’s go climb stairs.” And so, that’s what we did as a company – we all joined a team together and got family members involved, and that’s how Alan got into it. It recently got bought out – not recently but a few years ago – bought out by Pluralsight – that’s the company now.īut one of our colleagues – he was really involved with the Respiratory Health Association, and he would volunteer with them, and he would climb stairs. But we got into it through one of the companies I used to work with that was TrainSignal, yeah. And our son did it with us last year and he had great time. Well, “competitively” is probably not the word to describe me I’m usually like the last to finish. Tell us how did that become a hobby of yours and why do you keep doing it? Well, I’m so intrigued that both of you climb stairs competitively. Heather and Alan, thanks so much for joining us here on the How to be Awesome at Your Job podcast.
