Today, I’m joined by Benjamin Nazarian, CEO of Therabody – a wellness technology company. 

 

In this episode, we discuss the rise of the recovery category. We explore Therabody’s evolution from a single product—the Theragun–into a platform for pain management, as well as the company’s transition into the consumer market. 

 

Plus, we look at emerging and adjacent verticals, including breathwork, contrast therapy, mental fitness, and more.
