Today, I’m joined by Amanda Rees, co-founder & CEO of Bold.


A fitness-based approach to healthy aging, Bold’s personalized
exercise programs help older adults build strength, ease pain,
and prevent falls. Partnering with Medicare, the platform aims to
replace musculoskeletal disability with lifelong vitality.

underserved demographic.


We also cover:
