Episode notes

I think that being a student athlete actually pushed me into this whole category of understanding lifestyle and understanding performance. The big insight I had in founding loop was that understanding the other 20 hours of the day is as important as understanding a period of time when you exercise. There was such an over emphasis 10, 12 years ago on exercise as it came to performance. And no one was talking about recovery. So that was the insight at the time that was counterintuitive that led to a lot of our success with whoop.

In this introductory episode, I had the pleasure of conversing with Will Ahmed, the CEO of health & fitness monitoring brand ‘WHOOP’. The Whoop strap, renowned for its technology in analysing core health metrics, has become a mainstay in an athletes’ recovery regime owing to its actionable and personalised insights on performance enhancement.

Our conversation covered a wide range of subjects, some of which are highlighted below;

» Topics «
Entrepreneurship
Stress management and meditation
Measuring sleep for strength, recovery and well-being
Overcoming fear failure and rejection
REM, deep and slow wave sleep
The history of Whoop
Motivation
Balancing ambition and gratitude
