Today, I'm joined by Will Ahmed, founder & CEO of WHOOP, a performance-focused wearables maker.

Founded in 2012, WHOOP's screenless wearable technology and data platform rose to prominence for its real-time analysis of recovery, sleep, and overall performance. Through partner integrations and advances in sensor technology, the brand continues to decode optimal health for its users.

In this episode, Will returns to the podcast for the first time since 2019, sharing the company's evolution from activity tracking to health monitoring, WHOOP's role in the future of healthcare, and upcoming product development.
