Happy Monday, everybody, and welcome to another edition of three more questions with David

0:09.0

Novak. On these episodes, David and I debrief the conversation that he had with the previous

0:13.7

week's guest. And David, today we're debriefing your conversation with Tom Hale, who is the CEO of

0:19.3

ORA, who is the maker of ORA rings. And I've been on the fence about getting an ORA ring for a while. After listening to this episode, I'm going to get one. Well, obviously, you haven't gotten one yet because I don't see it on your finger. So you better get out there and do it. Well, one thing you didn't know if you're listening, I've been thinking about getting an aura ring. They are HSA and FSA eligible, which is great news for me because I have money in an HSA account and you're able to purchase a ring with that account. And I'm so excited because I'm going to do it. Yeah, and I think ORA by far and away does the best job of really monitoring health.

0:57.6

And that's really their focus and they stay true to that.

0:59.4

You know, I've been using whoop.

0:59.9

Okay.

1:26.8

and they're going to be true to that focus as they differentiate themselves. And, you know, so much is going on

1:32.2

in the health world that they're on top of that they're really making the world a better place

1:37.0

by helping people monitor what's really important to all of us. And that's your health and

1:41.1

staying alive. I love their kind of mantra, which is it's like giving your body a voice, wearing an

1:47.8

aura ring is like giving your body a voice.

1:49.9

Who wouldn't want to know what's going on inside of their body?

1:53.2

And I just love that.

1:54.7

And so.

1:55.2

I've got my whoop, but maybe I got to go get the rig too.

1:59.4

But I'll have data overload. You know, something's got to go. the rig, too. But I'll have data overload.

2:01.4
