It's episode 50!! We kick it off the episode with both of us (mostly) not sick! yay! Sheldon has a good doctor visit, Mere has some Oklahoma snow. We debate the merits of the Netflix show Kaleidoscope.
Amber is BACK! She is part of our 50th episode and our FIRST repeat guest. She has SO much to talk about from being a new mom to the challenges she faced during pregnancy and after. We hit a number of aspects including combating your "gremlin" with your "Smurfette" and giving yourself SPACE vs. Grace. Amber brings an electric energy that can't help but make you smile and she is back on the rower every other Thursday! Follow her on FB or IG @ambermgmtfit.
Industry news is hopping, Tonal raising prices on everything... but rumored to be laying people off. Peloton adding live row classes, and also seems to be teasing potential tiered pricing. Nautilus and Bowflex launching some tech for weights and body movement tracking motion, rep counts, and adaptive weight targets. we talk supplements and how venture capital is pouring something like $400MM into startups in this area each year. Meredith and Sheldon give their opinions as well. Finally we talk about the $8MM invested in a wellness based company called Othership Lands that focuses on being a "social bathhouse" - ice baths, saunas, wellness and breathing. We discuss whether this is something people will enjoy.
Echelon news - Mari's farewell ride draws a crowd. Rowan's menopause ride with a guest. Nicole's 5-year! We've been told PB resets are on the plan to deliver. And Mere has all the shout outs.
Sheldon can't remember that we are doing a "would you rather" for Snackdown and first says we aren't... it was a long day folks hahahah!
Bye Bike!
