Fitt Insider

Today I’m joined by Brynn Putnam.

Brynn is the founder and CEO of Mirror — a connected fitness company that combines an interactive screen with on-demand workout content.

In July, lululemon acquired Mirror for $500M.

In this episode, we talk about Brynn’s motivation for starting Mirror and the genesis of the idea. What differentiates the company from the growing number of look-a-like products. How Brynn defines community in a digital world. And what factors led lululemon to ultimately acquire the company.
