Episode Description from the Publisher

This week's episode is about what nine years of obsession looks like before anyone is watching. We sat down with Dr. Jason Wersland, the chiropractor who built Therabody out of a hardware-store jigsaw after a motorcycle accident left him in constant pain. He never ran a real ad campaign, and somehow the same device ended up on NFL sidelines, in Emirates first class, and on your mom's nightstand. This one is a masterclass in earning trust instead of buying it.On the episode:● How a motorcycle accident led Jason to invent the Theragun with a $250 jigsaw from the hardware store.● Why a $400K agency couldn't come up with the name Therabody, but one late night in a conference room did.● How Jason got pro athletes using Theragun before the brand ever ran an ad.● Why Therabody refused to call its face products "beauty," and what it called them instead.● Why Jason builds products so durable that customers never need to buy a second one.Hire My AgencySerious brand?
