the gentleman's journal podcast.

That's right.

I sat down with Joe Bullmore to discuss everything about Woop and our journey over the last

decade.

This conversation is a deep dive on entrepreneurship, the future of wearable

tech, and exactly how Whoop is trying to unlock human performance. I get asked a lot of questions

through email, through Instagram, Twitter, other platforms, and this, I think, episode does a good job

answering many of your questions for me.

So we discussed the inspiration for Whoop and how the company began.

Why the best ideas often start from a contrarian point of view.

The trials and tribulations of developing the Whoop strap and what we learned along the way.

Why heart rate variability is core to everything we do here at Woop,

the importance of following your dreams, truly,

and how to deal with feedback that you perceive as negative,

and how Woop got its name.

That's right.
