Headspace: Andy Puddicombe and Rich Pierson (2019)

Hey everyone and a happy new year. You know, we wanted to set just the right mood for twenty twenty two, so we're running an episode that is so full of joy and good vibes, and of course. Great advice. It's one of our favorites from the archives, the story of Headspace. Hope you enjoy. Oh. We knew the business.

that we had wasn't working. And so with the last bit of cash that we had. We managed to pull in every single favour that we had left. Our friends and family had said, look, we really love you guys, but we're not we're not giving you any more money. This is a terrible business, like well done, but Enough's enough.

From NPR, it's how I built this, a show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements. They go. I'm Guy Raz, and on today's show, how a Buddhist monk and a stressed out marketing consultant sat down at a Starbucks. And wound up launching Headspace.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
