104. Benjamin Nazarian, CEO of Therabody

Today, I’m joined by Benjamin Nazarian, CEO of Therabody – a
wellness technology company. 


 


In this episode, we discuss the rise of the recovery category. We
explore Therabody’s evolution from a single product—the
Theragun–into a platform for pain management, as well as the
company’s transition into the consumer market. 


 


Plus, we look at emerging and adjacent verticals, including
breathwork, contrast therapy, mental fitness, and more.
