Today, on the podcast, I am joined by my friend, Mike Taccona. In this episode, we talk about his experiences joining the whoop community.

Mike has been wearing his Whoop for just about just over a month at the time of this recording. Mike is a registered nurse. And one thing that I enjoy talking about wearables, in general, is the impact that these devices can have on people with high-stress jobs.

I wanted to get his take on what he's been learning by wearing Whoop. This is a step one conversation since he hasn't been wearing it for too long—this kind of prefaces his opinions early on.

In this episode, we are joined by Kirsten Holmes. As Vice President of Performance Science at WHOOP, Kristen drives thought leadership by engaging with industry-leading researchers and partners to understand better individual and team biometric and performance data across high-stakes verticals. Kristen also works with hundreds of the best tactical, professional, and surgical teams and NCAA Athletes/Teams worldwide, helping them interpret WHOOP data to optimize training, recovery, and sleep behavior.

Panos Papadiamantis, Co-Founder of PNOE, the world’s first portable cardio-metabolic analyzer. PNOE is a mask that you wear during a 10-minute test on a treadmill, and from that, you gain incredible insights into your health and fitness

PNOĒ is on a quest to bring cardio-metabolic analysis to everyone. As the gold standard for nutrition & exercise prescription, the most non-invasive method for cardiovascular disease screening, the clinical standard for triaging between pulmonary and cardiac limitations as well as a valuable tool in detecting latent causes of myoskeletal problems, cardio-metabolic analysis is rapidly becoming the central assessment in holistic health.

In this episode, we are exploring daily recovery. Prioritizing daily recovery for Erich has been striving for the better part of the year. As an engineer, he sees it as the ultimate quality problem. Companies spend a considerable amount of time and money focusing on the qualities of their products and services; however, we've overlooked a significant component, the humans that make the products and services possible.
