Show Notes
Will Ahmed thrived as a college athlete at Harvard. But at least once a season, the top squash player would work so hard that he’d dabble in overtraining, seeing mono-like symptoms that dramatically effected his performance and body. In episode 92, the WHOOP founder and CEO talks about his inspiration for creating the wrist-worn heart rate monitor, and how he took it from an unwearable device the size of a shoe box to a strap worn by everyone from top athletes to average Joes (myself included). We chat about how he handled the negative criticisms as a young entrepreneur — including a daily meditation process, and why it’s important to avoid a fear of failure.
