The podcast has featured exclusive conversations with innovators like meditation expert and co-founder of Headspace, Andy Puddicombe; sleep authority and founder of The Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington; and performance scientist Brett Kirby of the Nike Sport Research Lab and the leading physiologist on Breaking2 – the brand’s audacious attempt to break the two-hour marathon barrier.
