Summary
For four years, Brittany Driscoll spent her time learning everything she could from Alli Webb as the vice president of marketing at Drybar, taking the company from $30M to more than $100M. Now, she’s helping launch the brand’s newest concept — Squeeze, the DryBar for massages where treatments cost between $39 and $129, depending on the length of the session, which can run between 20 and 80 minutes.
Clearly, she’s passionate about self-care, but she’s also an advocate for overall physical wellbeing. In episode 76, she talks to me about the #hurdlemoment of both her and her husband going through cancer, and how that has influenced her perspective on prioritizing health. We talk about how she managed to make a major career transition while supporting her husband through his cancer battle, and the big lessons she learned along the way that have made her a better partner and executive. We also rap on how often you should get body work and the 27-minute workout she swears by.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, hurdlers. What's going on? Emily Abadi here with episode 76 of hurdle, a podcast that talks to everyone from entrepreneurs to top CEOs and athletes about how they've gotten through tough times, hurdles of sorts, by leaning into wellness. Now, I just want to note, I feel like it's worth throwing out into the |
| 0:23.3 | universe. We are actually technically over a hundred episodes now, but upon having a combo with |
| 0:29.7 | my dad earlier in the week, he told me that I can only celebrate this milestone when we get to |
| 0:34.3 | the hundred numbered episode. I don't know how I feel about that, but I know |
| 0:39.4 | that it makes me really excited and really enthusiastic about where Hurtle is going. Today, I am |
| 0:46.4 | going to be chatting with Brittany Driscoll. She's the co-founder and CEO of Squeeze, a massage concept |
| 0:53.8 | from the founders of Dry Bar. Now, if you haven't heard of |
| 0:56.9 | squeeze yet, trust me, you will soon. Right now, they only have one brick and mortar location |
| 1:02.9 | out in California in Los Angeles, but they are coming big and coming out somewhere near you. |
| 1:10.7 | I can promise you that. Before we get to |
| 1:13.1 | Brittany's story, a quick shout up to my sponsor, Athletic Greens. With 12 servings of fruits |
| 1:20.2 | and vegetables, Athletic Greens gives me the boost I need to start every single day off right. |
| 1:26.0 | They are offering hurdle listeners an awesome deal. |

| 1:34.2 | packs, a $79 value, absolutely free with your first purchase. Just head on over to athletic greens.com |
| 1:41.2 | slash hurdle. Again, that's athletic greens.com slash hurdle to get yours today. |
| 1:47.9 | No code necessary. Today's episode is also brought to you by my friends at Woop. This week for the |
| 1:55.8 | first time I used the Woop strain coach when I was heading out for a run. And what I found super, super |
| 2:02.6 | interesting was all of the in-depth data from the pace for the run to the calories burned and the |
| 2:09.1 | average and max heart rates, the duration, my overall strain. And that can help me figure out |
| 2:15.5 | where I'm trying to go for the next time around. |
| 2:17.7 | I'm telling you, I'm obsessed with mine and I think that you could be too. |
