Peloton VP, Robin Arzón: Surviving a Hostage Crisis and Building a Relentless Fitness Brand | E67

I guess there's never a limit to the amount of craziness. But tell me, Robin, you then decide to not go the law route and completely change. Can you take us there for a second? Why?

So how do you reach out out of the blue, completely cold to Peloton? I think that a lot of our listeners, they might have a dream, right? But it scares them. Well, maybe it's not for me, or maybe I don't know, and I don't know anybody. And how can I make it work? How do you reach out?

I love energy as a currency because it's true. There's some people that the minute you get in the room, they just suck the air out. And there's people that it's opposite. It's like, it's just so inviting. But you get into Peloton and you do all these things, running, et cetera. Can you share some hard moments and something challenging and how you tackle them?

You'll hear a thousand things from different people, whether it's in entrepreneurship, whether it's running, whether it's whatever you try to do, there's always the people, the voices that will try to keep you safe. I don't necessarily think that they mean bad, but it's exactly not what you need to hear at that moment.

You can listen, but you need to decide what you're actually going to listen to, what you're actually going to take their advice or not. Let's talk about it because you do all of this with two tiny ones. And I saw you in Necker Island. I mean, can we talk about this for a second? Like Richard Vance in Private Island, an adventure race, and you are with two tiny kids, nursing one, running, biking.

And this is so, so, so important because every time you say yes to something, you're actually saying no to something else. And the question is, what is the no? The no is time with family. The no is time at work. The no is time on your personal branding, whatever that is. There is always a no when you say yes to one thing.

So we just need to figure out what am I shutting the door on when I do say yes. And sometimes it's totally worth it and sometimes no. So I love that. And the way you were able to balance it all, I thought that was really inspiring. I personally don't bring my family with me because I was just like, when I'm working, I'm working. When I'm doing this, like I need to compartment.

But it was just beautiful to see how it's all part of you. But let's talk about that adventure before you go back to Peloton, because I still want to go there for a second. But we're going to this adventure race. or whatever that is, crazy biking, like running, even swimming for you, which I want to talk a little bit about. What was it like for you?

That's such a powerful quote. I literally wrote this down because I don't see myself as a swimmer. As far as I'm concerned, I kind of survived the swim. And it was the first time I ever needed to swim. When I was at four and a half kilometers, I'm like, that was brutal. But I just, I will never call myself a runner or a biker or a swimmer.
