REPLAY - In Ep. 93 of Earned, We start the episode by digging into this success, and learn about the qualities Doug looks for in a company before joining. Doug emphasizes his interest in companies that are solving real-world problems, and shares his experience working at One Medical during the peak of the pandemic. We then hear about what attracted Doug to Oura, and how the company navigates the tech ecosystem and integrates with tech giant Apple. Next, we dive into Doug's process for crafting Oura's simple yet compelling brand message of "giving every body a voice," and discuss the importance of aligning the company around this message, before hearing how Oura's clear mission has helped in establishing partnerships with companies like Strava, Gucci, Best Buy, and Equinox. We switch gears and learn how Oura facilitates content creation among its "rabid fans" and members by introducing new offerings like Circles and the "Refer a Friend" program, as well as partnerships with athletes and wellness influencers. Doug also explains how the company constantly leverages its member community for beta testing and product development feedback. To close the show, Doug shares why he enjoys taking on advisory roles for other companies outside of Oura, and reveals what kind of startup he'd enjoy leading next.
