Josh here from Gusto. The more tech founders/CEOs doing this type of trip, the better in my opinion. I was born and raised in Silicon Valley and I love living there, but it can often be an echo chamber. We didn't start Gusto to focus on Silicon Valley. We started it to help companies across the country (and eventually around the world), and our customers are all across the US today. The road trip was one way for me to go out and meet some of them. I slept in the RV, saw many cities that I had never been to before, and met some amazing companies.

We want spotlight these small businesses as much as possible, since they often don't get as much attention. You can read about some of them at www.gusto.com/extramile
