Really enjoyed this one, as someone who is trying to build something from nothing and hasn't really got there yet. A lot of your guests explain the struggles but for some reason this one feels genuine and relatable. Please get Natalie Massenet on!
Needed this today. 4 years in the business and still not there yet. Raising the impossible investment. Learning to run a global company. I am not alone, You are not alone..........KEEP GOING. TY Will & Steven
I am so obsessed and impressed with your podcast. Every guest you’ve had inspires me more and more to follow my passion. I will build a business and community with the mission to improve the quality of peoples lives through the “pillars of health”. I hope that once my vision is successful, I will be fortunate enough to be a guest on your podcast. Please don’t stop this podcast before I have a chance to be one of your guests 🙏🏿
Nott finished watching yet, but had to say Will seemed so grounded and comfortable with you. This is honestly one of my favourite things to watch. I look forward to Monday and Thursday mornings. 💫
The subscription model is the only thing holding me back from whoop. I spent 800$ on the Apple Watch ultra which is by all means extremely expensive but I still prefer that to a never ending subscription
@@ccon8nah unless you replace every generation not really. You have it for multiple years and then can trade in part of the value when you upgrade. Whoop is $360 per year
@@solidgod1093 I have Whoop bro. It’s $240 not $360. To me it works because I do martial arts and I can’t have a wearable on my wrist. But Whoop has boxers, rash guards, and arm sleeves where you can put the Whoop sensor in while doing martial arts. On top of that, I take my Whoop inside the sauna. One of the best investments I’ve made for health.
I have become completely obsessed with this podcast over the last few weeks. I find it so inspiring. The way the space is held for the guests to talk about what they want to is so refreshing, results in this beautifully genuine feeling. Also, I'm going to look into getting a Whoop as a direct result of this episode. I'm fascinated with the relationship between mental and physical health. I think this product could be really helpful for me to make my relationship with health more effective and sustainable. Thanks for another brilliant episode!
Love the camera click for ads...another amazing attention to detail that defines who you are. Love your guests and the interesting questions you ask them. Love the physical shape you keep yourself in, and your attention to style! Love your accent and voice!
This is one of the best vids on this channel I’ve seen. Thank you for allowing it to go over for however long it needed to go over, a lot of good and helpful info
I’ve had a whoop for 3 years. Genuinely incredible product. Heard lots from Will throughout the years and he is incredible. Didn’t see this podcast coming but man I enjoyed that. Thanks again for these incredibly inspiring conversations
Do you still have / use the whoop? I had oura ring for over a year and loved it, until I lost it. It's cheaper than whoop, but I need the accountability back (for sleep) and the ring gave me that. I don't think I will lose the whoop strap. Are you still using it?
Really impressed with the focus he has developed in his company around being leaders in the space rather than competitors in the market. Outperforming Nike by remaining dedicated to core principles. That is impressive.
Delighted to have discovered Whoop, the story behind it and its founder. Like usual, this conversation is loaded with precious advices, not only from the guest, but also with the new partners sponsoring the podcast, and the reasons why you have accepted those partnerships. Always amazed by the excellence, the value and the inspiration each Diary of a CEO episode brings. Thank you for being a daily motivation ✨
Again great interview. I always watch these and feel so reassured that the feelings and stresses that I have as an entrepreneur are not unique and I’m not alone. Thanks Steven!
Amazing conversation 🔥 The journey and shared experiences discussed feels so close to home and I'm looking forward to learning more. Thank you for sharing these moments and information with the rest of us gents 🙏❤️🇿🇦
Another great episode, nice conversation and lots of great tips that I can't wait to try. I will look this guy up and learn more about his journey. Thanks Steve.🙏🏾🙌🏾👌🏾🔥
To everyone who has started or is thinking of starting their own business: *Believe in yourself and never give up.* If you can work 8 hours for someone else. You can work 2 hours for yourself.
What a great interview 🙏🏿 very insightful and quite frankly frightening how one doesn’t actually know what’s happening inside their body - I really think that the Whoop product is a great example of creating a product that solves one of the seventeen sustainable development goals 💪🏿
I love these podcasts and respect you Steven for the content you provide so consistantly. It just made me laugh at 8:28 how Will got so many internships despite being unsure what he wanted to do and yet most of us are struggling to get a job that would change our lives and allow us excel.
fantastic interview - Will is an incredible humble guy love the advice/principles of 'balance gratitude with drive' to sprint the marathon - all the information shared about sleep & meditation, self care and just the simplicity of self was just absorbing. Thank you Steven I have now subscribed 🙂
Excellent insight into the ethos behind whoop and Will's journey to develop both the product and business and their consumers awareness of their health.
Thank you for this, I am currently building a hardware company and Will seems to be the guy I hope to become. Both as an entrepreneur as well as a person. More power to you...
Steven Bartlett, you are an extraordinary entrepreneur, leader. Inspiring Africa and the rest of the world. As an Entrepreneur, I am in awe of God's gifting in your life. Will Ahmed thank you for the nugget, "disassociate my own identity from that of the company's". Would love to interview Steven Bartlett and bring him to SA to speak to leaders & entrepreneurs. Amazing thought provoking business conversations.
Will is such a class act. He has accomplished so much in 34 years while being humble, a trait no money can buy. The interviewer seems cocky and could learn a thing or two from Will. Stay in school, kids! Despite the adversity, you could still attend an Ivy League School, which can do wonders for your dreams.
Really good conversation that encouraged me to buy Whoop. Product has been nice so far but their support is the worse experience I've ever had. Non responsive, struggling to provide simple information like what's the return or replacement cost. It's been almost two weeks and I still have not been able to get a response to my questions. Chat only available to new customers. Once item sold - they stop caring about you. Considering this, I'd recommend going with Garmin or Apple rather than Whoop.
You can only admire what he has built given the incumbents in this space - However he mentioned everyone in this space and laddered his product against them (Amazon, Nike, Adidas, Under Armour and Amazon) and never mentioned Apple, and he dodged/fudged the acquiring question - my guess is that they are talking with apple or have been to acquire - the Whoop app and journal is a great fit for Apples health and Fitness plus offering, much like acquiring Beats to supplement their music offering
Yo this is quickly turning out to be one of my favourite pods. I've never been so engaged in conversation as I have been on this platform. I've seen whoop mentioned on some of the newsletters I read, it's actually fascinating just hearing about it in such detail. Need to get a whoop now😀
He actually wore white to Ferm Cottons Podcast and he looked soo lovely. I wish he would wear different colours. Black is such a negative draining colour to wear. Colours are emotions. Anyways...
I've messaged about this before... You've got the opportunity to gain even more than one percent improvement by sorting out your transcript! This version, your introduction labels you Stephen Butler 😂 It could be correct if you had it proof read! 🤓
I will be 80 young old this July and have never had a good nite sleep…..I know I could have a longer lifespan with whoop….. Just can’t afford it right now..

I feel like sometimes you get a lot out of this personally talking to these amazing and interesting people - thanks for sharing.
You said, "I've got no time to worry." Small statement, yet powerful. I'm going to try that out. Thanks

Hmmmmm, never heard of Whoop I must have been living under a rock 🤷♂️
I must be living under the rock next door 🤦🏾♀️🤭
Me too, never heard of it
I know you. We were under the same rock.
Same 😂
Why u put rock on me
What an incredible founder! Very humble, considerate and calming. Great work again, Steven.
I’ve watched countless videos on meditation and how to do it “correctly” and the little segment Will explains it I FINALLY understand! Thank you🙌🙌
The subscription model is the only thing holding me back from whoop. I spent 800$ on the Apple Watch ultra which is by all means extremely expensive but I still prefer that to a never ending subscription
You end up spending more on Apple Watch though because you’ll also continue to replace it
@@ccon8 I usually sell old Apple products abroad because the prices are inflated, so I get back at least 50% of the value after a couple years

Listened to a few of your episodes and you’re definitely worth the subscribe! Great guests, Great questions, Great presenting!
Great pod! Hearing Kristen and his perspective is dope. I love my whoop even if it's a bit glitchy sometimes

What a great interview, choice of interviewee and knowledge. Both well spoken Gentlemen. Thanks Steve!
What a beautiful articulate man and interview this was, congratulations. Hi from down under.
This episode has made me buy my first Whoop! 🙌
What a great interview, so much to learn
I love that, "You have to earn their subscription every day"
This is a great podcast, you hit every avenue. I just wish you would have asked him how he got investors on board without having a strong MVP.
Excellent insight into the ethos behind whoop and Will's journey to develop both the product and business and their consumers awareness of their health.
Thank you for this, I am currently building a hardware company and Will seems to be the guy I hope to become. Both as an entrepreneur as well as a person. More power to you...
great episode! Get Andrew Huberman on, that would be insane
Always top content! Thanks,
Steve! To me this guy had the most distinct impact on you. The chemistry is palpable
Great content ✨ I’d love to see THE LEGEND DAVID GOGGINS 👌🏻
Thank you Sofia 🙌🏽
Wow! What a video! I learned so much especially for someone building technology in the health space too. Thanks Will Ahmed
Great interview! Very inspired. This podcasts really grounds me as an entrepreneur

Only half way through but really enjoying this one mate.
Came back to this video and now got myself a whoop 😂
This thumbnail design looks much better Steven. 👌
Thank you for this. I really needed this today.
This looks interesting. Can't wait to watch x
Thank you Kayla 🙏🏽

Stay in school, kids!
Despite the adversity, you could still attend an Ivy League School, which can do wonders for your dreams.
Leaving this comment here so that I can come back when I eventually build TRKR to the standard of Whoop and smile ;)
Great ep, could've carried on listening for hours.
So calmingly motivating this guy!!! ❤
This is a fucking gold mine
I think he just sold me on meditation! Gonna have to start doing that!
Talk about calm energy...!
I never heard about whoop until today . It’s cool ❤
This is going to be a good one.
This channel is incredible
This one was really good ! Thanks
I'm a subscriber!!
Would love to be in your audience 🌞
great interview! getting a lot of sponsors careful not overdo it
Really good conversation that encouraged me to buy Whoop. Product has been nice so far but their support is the worse experience I've ever had. Non responsive, struggling to provide simple information like what's the return or replacement cost. It's been almost two weeks and I still have not been able to get a response to my questions. Chat only available to new customers. Once item sold - they stop caring about you. Considering this, I'd recommend going with Garmin or Apple rather than Whoop.
Over training is 100% a thing, once you experience exertion headaches, you know lol. Rest days are important, de-loading is important.
I knew I was in the right storm 👍🏼
Looking forward to this one, would love to see Bugzy Malone on this someday
You can only admire what he has built given the incumbents in this space - However he mentioned everyone in this space and laddered his product against them (Amazon, Nike, Adidas, Under Armour and Amazon) and never mentioned Apple, and he dodged/fudged the acquiring question - my guess is that they are talking with apple or have been to acquire - the Whoop app and journal is a great fit for Apples health and Fitness plus offering, much like acquiring Beats to supplement their music offering
I dont get it, why do u "hope no one is listening, if so keep it to yourself? "
You should bring on the CEO of the light phone 2!
Very interesting thank you 👍
Mercedes-Benz new sponsor 🤜🤛
Yo this is quickly turning out to be one of my favourite pods. I've never been so engaged in conversation as I have been on this platform. I've seen whoop mentioned on some of the newsletters I read, it's actually fascinating just hearing about it in such detail. Need to get a whoop now😀
This is inspiring.
Can you make it available for the public to invest into whoop?
That last bit about gratitude is what will help avoid this negative feeling of after we achieve our goals.
How many pairs of black jeans and black tops does Steven own😅
Just curious tbh
He actually wore white to Ferm Cottons Podcast and he looked soo lovely. I wish he would wear different colours. Black is such a negative draining colour to wear. Colours are emotions. Anyways...
Late to view but keen to learn
Will could be Brendon Uries doppelganger imo
I've messaged about this before... You've got the opportunity to gain even more than one percent improvement by sorting out your transcript!
This version, your introduction labels you Stephen Butler 😂
It could be correct if you had it proof read! 🤓
Thanks!
Hey bro
Vert humble smart individuals
Get the guy who start ON the trainer brand
I will be 80 young old this July and have never had a good nite sleep…..I know I could have a longer lifespan with whoop….. Just can’t afford it right now..
If I could stick Whoop technology under a nice dress watch, I'd be on board. Can't stand smart watches but don't want to wear two bands.
