What's up, folks? Welcome back to the WOOP podcast, where we sit down with the best,

top athletes, scientists, experts, and more, learn what the best in the world are doing to perform at their peak.

Hopefully help you figure out what you can do to unlock your own best performance.

I'm your host, Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Whoop, where we are on

a mission to unlock human performance. As a reminder, you can get 15% off a Whoop membership

using the code Will. That's WI-L-L. All right. Where did 2021 go? We're a few weeks out. New

Year's is right around the corner. It's been an exciting year for

Woop and the Woop community. Company's grown a lot. We launched new technology, Woop 4.0.

Exciting news for the Woop Podcast. We just surpass 5 million downloads. So thank you all for listening.

Pretty wild. We're on episode 153. I remember when we recorded the first five

episodes and I said, we'll do about 10 of these and see how it goes. So we're still going.

And it just goes without saying that so many of our guests have inspired us. They've inspired

better versions of ourselves. That's the fun thing about these conversations with high performing

people is hopefully listening to these folks rubs off on you and you feel like you can get a little

better as a result. And that's the theme for today's episode. So we're going to take a look back

at some of the standout

moments from the podcast in 2021. And this will also help guide, I think, what episodes you might

want to spend a little more time on. A reminder, you can find every episode of the Whoop podcast at

whoop.com slash locker or wherever you listen to podcasts. When we talk about remarkable guests,

it's hard not to think about Alex Honnold.
