The 25-year-old CEO of the lidar startup that's about to go public copes with 100-hour weeks by walking up to 10 miles a day during phone calls

"This type of business requires insane levels of work and dedication," Russell said in an interview with Business Insider.

One method Russell uses to deal with his demanding schedule is simple: walking whenever he's on a non-video phone call. Doing so keeps Russell's mind sharp and allows him to squeeze in a bit of exercise while he's working. Russell said he walks an average of 5 miles a day while on the phone and can hit 10 miles on some days.

Those coping mechanisms are only effective, he said, because of the fundamental reason he can bear a work schedule that would drive many to exhaustion: He loves his job. Russell founded Luminar in 2012 when he was 17. Since then, the company has grown into a $3.4 billion valuation and signed with Volvo the lidar industry's first major deal to include the sensors, which emit pulses of light to determine a car's surroundings, on production vehicles.
