Like they're kind of always looking for what is that additional way I can get a little edge. And that's one of the things that separates, I think, the very best from just like a great professional athlete is this like drive towards experimentation. And it's part of the reason that in the early days of building this company, like...

someone like LeBron James or Michael Phelps was willing to wear a whoop.

I think... first and foremost, we view Whoop as a tool that anyone can use. We don't view it as your master. We view it as a tool that can make you healthier or live longer or perform better. And the general sort of broad critique of, is more knowledge better? I've always rejected. I mean, you can go back to the printing press and people being like, oh, we can't have the printing press.

God forbid so many people have access to information. So I think in almost every stage of human history, this rejection of people having more knowledge is sort of a lazy analysis. Now, there's certain things from a technology design standpoint that we've done with that in mind. So I've never believed that having a screen on the product actually made it a better tool.

And I've always thought that there's plenty of screens in the world. And do we really need one more screen that's giving you numbers that you're obsessing over and looking at and they're vibrating and alerting you? And so in many ways, we designed the product to disappear into the background and to be there when you needed it and to look at it when you need it.

And for a product that people wear 24-7, It's actually remarkably unobtrusive. You know, it's not talking to you. It's not beeping at you. It's only going to vibrate if you want it to vibrate. If you want it to wake you up. So. Yeah, we've done, I think, a lot of things around the concept of have this be a tool that's in the background versus having it being a master that's trying to control you.

Yeah, and look, I think you – well, first of all, the concept of – hiding data, that is actually one thing that we did develop against because we would have these really exaggerated examples. Like imagine you're an Olympian and you're training for four years for one day.
