Ralph and Lauren strip back the curtain on what it really takes to lead a high-growth business without losing your health in the process. From Ralph’s switch to veganism after two life-threatening heart events to Lauren’s obsession with Whoop and bio-tracking, they explore how personal wellness is the hidden lever behind sustainable business performance. You'll hear firsthand how metrics like HRV, sleep optimization, and even digital detoxes are giving these two agency founders a serious edge—and why ignoring your health could be your most expensive business mistake yet. If you're a data-driven leader ready to apply your marketing brain to your body, this episode is for you.
