Fitbit, Apple Watch, Nike Fuelband, WHOOP, Oura Ring. With the nature of my career, I\u2019ve been rocking some sort of wearable technology since it became a thing, over 10 years ago. I get so many messages asking why I switched up my wearable recently and today I am sitting down with Tom Hale, CEO of Oura \u2014 my current wearable of choice. I\u2019ve been looking forward to this conversation for a long time and we really dive into everything that is the wearable industry. I appreciate how Tom talks about wearables very democratically throughout this conversation and his outlook on the future of the industry. We talk about Tom\u2019s interesting journey to CEO of Oura, his perspective on why people should invest in a wearable and the importance of placement, as well as how he\u2019s gained meaningful insight from his journey with wearing an Oura ring.\xa0
