Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

When I looked at all my subscriptions, I couldn't believe how many I was paying for and not using. Streaming services, apps, memberships, it adds up. That's why I use and recommend Rocket Money. It's a personal finance app that finds and cancels unwanted subscriptions, tracks your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. The best part?

Right after today's Daily Tech Update, I'm going to play for you a great clip from my nationally syndicated radio show. It's called, I know, The Kim Commando Show. Funny how that works. And hey, if you're not subscribed to it wherever you get your podcasts, what are you doing? You're missing out. You need this intel to live in today's world.

Today, why the Oura Ring, a health-based wearable tech device introduced as a Kickstarter project 11 years ago, is having a moment. I'm Kim Commando for NetSuite. AI is here and companies using it are getting ahead. Download the free business guide, Demystifying AI, right now at netsuite.com slash Kim. In 2015, the Oura Ring arrived from an unknown startup in Finland.

103.624 - 125.569

Five million sold before the buzz promptly faded. The ring monitored your health, exercise, and fitness. But along came the Apple Watch, which did all of that and more. Flash forward to today, thanks to AI and expanded health data gathering, plus some celebrity buzz on social media, the Oura Ring is back. The pitch? It's lightweight, it's a ring, and it goes five to eight days without recharging.

125.709 - 149.202

But here's the catch. It costs about $350, plus a monthly subscription to access the data. The Apple Watch, no subscription required. You buy it once, and everything's included.

149.602 - 169.248

It's pretty much the best radio show in the world, but I may be just a little biased. Sit back and enjoy. Ever heard of the audience effect? It's when we change our behavior when we think we're being watched. Well, online, we're always being watched. Your internet provider tracks everything you do, even in private mode. That's why I use ExpressVPN.

169.709 - 192.311

It's the tool I trust to keep my internet connection protected. With one click, it hides everything I do online and sends it through a secure connection so no one can see or track my online activity. Here's the best part. ExpressVPN works across all your devices. Your phone, laptop, tablet... even your smart TV. One subscription protects up to eight devices, so your whole family stays secure.

Chapter 2: Why is the Oura Ring gaining popularity now?

272.431 - 297.608

I'm not sure. Let's take the little Chinese minivan with the rotor and the drone attached to it. I tell you, every time you turn around, Amazon's doing something else. Now, if you live within 75 miles of Dallas, Houston, LA, or Seattle, you can now shop Hertz's used rental cars on Amazon Autos. That's right. So not only just Hyundai's, and then you pick it up at a Hertz lot within three days.

they're expanding to 45 cities because let's just face it amazon's not going to stop until you can buy every single thing from them but i bring this up to you just as a warning because if you're sitting there on a saturday night one too many tipsy tipsy and you're thinking wow i think i need a new car is that suddenly you'll be able to have a car just delivered right to your front door.

Isn't that something? And I want you to work with me on this because, you know, one of my favorite movies is Cars. Cause I am a Cars girl. And there's something about the Cars movie that has always bothered me is that they called it Radiator Springs. You know what I'm talking about? That whole town, Radiator Springs. Now a radiator, is like an essential vital organ to a car.
