Building Othership, a Soul-Aligned Business (One Ice Bath at a Time) with Robbie Bent

What started as a simple backyard hangout with an ice bath and a few friends has now exploded into a revolutionary wellness brand—with physical spaces across North America and one of the top-rated breathwork apps in the world.

Robbie Bent’s story is a masterclass in building from passion, presence, and community.

✨ The behind-the-scenes of building Othership—from garage to global brand
✨ Why leading with passion over profit creates more longevity
