How I Built This with Guy Raz

This podcast episode explores the journey of Jason Wersland, the inventor of Theragun, and his transformation from a chiropractor to a successful entrepreneur.

He faced numerous challenges, including betrayal, loss, and self-doubt, but persevered with the support of his network and innovative mindset. Through strategic partnerships, marketing efforts, and the booming housing market, Theragun gained recognition and popularity. The company's success was further amplified during the COVID pandemic as people sought self-care solutions.
