| 0:00.0 | This is a really fun thing for me. |
| 0:01.2 | I've never been to Boston. |
| 0:02.3 | So I got to fly to Boston and experience Boston a bit. I've been wandering around. It's great. This is your first time in Boston. Obviously, first time at Whoop HQ. Yes. What's the vibe for you in the office? I think it's wonderful. It's amazing. It reminds me a little bit of not to talk about another brand, but have you been to the LinkedIn offices in Dublin. |
| 0:23.5 | No, |
| 0:23.7 | like similar. It reminds me a little bit of, not to talk about another brand, but have you been to the LinkedIn offices in Dublin? No, I haven't. Similar vibe, you know, great big, awesome community, gym, like lots of great food kicking around. Everyone clearly likes each other. You know, it's, but no, this is wonderful. It's amazing. The whoop sign is something else. Yeah, it's a good sign. It was part of the deal when we decided to take this space because no one wanted it, believe it or not.

And, you know, essentially we were being told that we were going to live on Zoom for the rest of our lives. Yeah. And that wasn't the future I wanted to live in. Nor did I think it was right for whoop. So we committed to this office at a time when no one really wanted it. Well, that's kind of turned out well.

| 1:11.2 | That's right. I'm told |
| 1:16.1 | word on the street, literally, the Woop is one of the biggest success stories to ever come out of Boston. |
| 1:25.7 | I suppose that's in the conversation, yeah. |
| 1:28.9 | It's amazing. |
| 1:29.6 | Yeah, it's been quite a journey. |
| 1:31.2 | I mean, congratulations to you. |
| 1:32.4 | What a life you've lived at a young age. |
| 1:34.0 | We're almost, we're about the same age. |
| 1:35.4 | If you were to kind of go back to being 10 or 15 years old, would you have anticipated that |

| 1:46.0 | you know, this unbelievable endurance career you've had as an athlete and become an entrepreneur. |
| 1:52.0 | Like, did you have any sense of this sort of wild future in front of you? |
| 1:57.7 | Hard to predict the future, obviously, at that age. I always had confidence in my ability at that age. |
