Hello folks, welcome back to the WOOP podcast.

We sit down with top performers, athletes, researchers, doctors, scientists, and more to learn what the best in the world they're doing to perform at their peak.

And what you can do to unlock your own best performance, I'm your host Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Woop, and we are on a

mission to unlock human performance. On this week's episode, we are turning the tables and featuring an

episode in which I am interviewed on the Founders Field Guide, produced by Colossus. I sat down with

Patrick O'Shaughnessy to discuss the journey of founding and building

whoop and what's ahead for the future of health monitoring.

Patrick and I discuss how to quantify sleep, strain, and recovery, early lessons in building

whoop, and there were certainly a a lot how whoops stays ahead of upcoming

trends in the wearable space what data beyond hrv will become more accessible and affordable to track

why whoop doesn't have a screen and lessons we've learned in the past 10 years since building

the company.

I think this was a great conversation, and really for those of you who want to lens

behind the scenes at WOOP or what it's like to run the company, I think you'll probably enjoy it.

And a big thank you to Patrick for having me on his show.
