Today I’m joined Jacob Rothman, co-founder and CEO of Perch.
Perch is a velocity-based training system that uses 3D cameras to quantify and improve performance.
In this episode, we talk about using technology to improve strength training. The idea of trickle-down health — where a company initially targets elite athletes before broadening its customer base. And how Jacob thinks about the role of content, community, competition, and data in the future of strength training.
