235. Rebecca Parekh, Co-Founder & CEO of The WELL

Today, I’m joined by Rebecca Parekh, co-founder & CEO of The
WELL.


Burned out by a career on Wall Street, Rebecca had a personal
wellness epiphany. Now, she’s helping others relieve stress at
The WELL, a health-focused members club and lifestyle brand.


In this episode, we discuss the company’s integrated approach to
wellness.


We also cover:


• Healthy third spaces
• Entering real estate and hospitality
• Unmet consumer needs across the industry
