About this episode

Brynn Putnam turned a ballet career into Mirror, a wall-mounted fitness display Lululemon bought for $500 million. Then she walked away from the beach and built Board, a $400 touchscreen device designed to get people off their phones and playing games face-to-face. This episode traces her pivot from self-optimization to human connection — and the strategy underneath it.
