This Monday's #randomTFHepisode is Will Ahmed, the founder and CEO of WHOOP. We interviewed Will back in February 2021. Will is the founder and CEO of #WHOOP, a company that provides wearable technology to monitor and improve health and performance. Since 2021, WHOOP has raised over $400 million, making it one of the most valuable standalone wearables companies globally. Before founding WHOOP, Ahmed studied at Harvard University, where he read over 500 medical papers on human physiology. This research inspired him to develop technology that could provide continuous insights into the human body. He co-founded WHOOP in 2012, focusing on creating a product that improves lives through better health understanding. Since the interview, the company launched WHOOP 4.0, an advanced version of its wearable device with features such as a pulse oximeter, skin temperature sensor, and haptic alerts. These enhancements have enabled more precise health monitoring and feedback for users. In this episode, we talked about everything from Will’s childhood and his passion for sports, how being a college athlete made him obsessed with continuously monitoring his body and performance, his motivation for wanting to be an entrepreneur, how the idea for WHOOP came about and the early days of building the company, his thoughts on failure and how to approach the fear of it, how he feels about networking and much more. Check out Will's episode on our show to learn more about his story! https://lnkd.in/e6YEBwCS

I share research & insights on biomechanics, exoskeletons & wearable tech | Engineering Professor @VanderbiltU | Co-Founder & Chief Scientist @HeroWearExo
👏🏽 Inspiring story of innovation, passion, determination, human-centered design, wearable tech, ups and downs, uncertainties, and obsessing over the small but crucial design details. 🎯 All with the goal of reducing pain, enhancing safety, and maximizing human potential. 🎧 This video podcast (linked below) is worth a full listen, but here are a few snippets that jumped out: 1️⃣ "I literally could not get out of bed... I had already given 13 years to a career I was passionate about... Here I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing, giving the best years of my life to something I'm passionate about, and now my body is beginning to fail me." 2️⃣ "I just remember looking down, because at this point I had to have my arm down to support my body, because it was the only way to continue to work. And it's right there that it flashed into my head that: We're not meant to do this. I'm in pain. Why can't we have a third arm that is centered on our sternum that supports our upper body while we are engaged in these static [kneeling work] positions." 3️⃣ "Fundamentally, I discovered that the human body was not meant to do what we were asking it to do... I felt I needed to solve this problem for me first.... so I built a weapon to fight back against pain." 💪🏽 Thanks Beau Sitzmann for sharing your BACK UP journey, and kudos to Sarah Ballini-Ross and Scott Cuthbert for excellent questions and discussion, and for pulling out key lessons and insights. I look forward to checking out more episodes. #wearables #safetytech #exoskeletons
