Today, I’m joined by Rebecca Parekh, co-founder & CEO of The WELL.
Burned out by a career on Wall Street, Rebecca had a personal wellness epiphany. Now, she’s helping others relieve stress at The WELL, a health-focused members club and lifestyle brand.
In this episode, we discuss the company’s integrated approach to wellness.
We also cover:
- Healthy third spaces
- Entering real estate and hospitality
- Unmet consumer needs across the industry
