I may do work, but I won’t send out an email,” Cleary said. “I don’t want to set the expectation that people should be working at 7 or 8 at night. I get home at 6:30. I put the phone in my home office. I leave it there, then I’m just dedicated to my kids. Once a week, I cut out of work early and I’m coaching my twins — they are 6 — their soccer team, and I coach their baseball team. It’s important for people to see me doing that and see it’s okay.”

“I try to do this once or twice a week where I leave the house around 7 and I commute. It’s about 25 miles to work on bike. Then at the end of the day, I’m back on my bike, getting back home. It’s a great way to just think about things, think about business, think about my life. It’s my time,” Cleary said. “It takes about 1 hour, 20 minutes each way.”
