Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Cold Exposure Makes You Surrender "The cold is one of the greatest surrendering tools that are out there. It will get you to surrender or you'll just stop doing it.

A 2-year-old kid that grows up with a dad doing something very hard every single day, first thing in the morning, is eventually going to start joining him at some point. That's how you can get in front of habit stacking, where you don't have to go break the chains because it's put in from day one." - Ryan Duey Homeostasis "The body has an innate ability to heal.

Republican legislative leaders are moving swiftly to dramatically expand the state's controversial private school voucher program. A bill quickly advancing will appropriate nearly $500 million new dollars to thousands of middle- and upper-income families to help cover the cost of private school tuition. Not surprisingly, the plan has drawn sharp criticism for Democratic lawmakers – […] The post Sen. Michael Garrett on why the childcare cliff (not vouchers) should be NC's top priority appeared first on NC Newsline.

Getting into a motorcycle accident in Thailand launched Ryan Duey on a journey of self-discovery that culminated in him starting a float tank business. Find out how he started his business and his advice on how to sell an expensive product in this podcast episode. Ryan was a float tank user before he started a business in the niche. He found the immersion experience so transformative that he was driven to bring it to people in Sacramento. While opening his flotation therapy spa, Capitol Floats, he met Michael Garrett, who owned his own float spa in the Bay Area. The two became fast friends, but it wasn't until the pandemic shut down their float spas in 2020 that they decided to become business partners with Plunge cold water therapy tanks. Making high-ticket sales can be a challenge, especially when you're catering to a niche clientele. In this interview, Ryan explains how to sell a premium product to both individual consumers and other businesses. He'll also share how Plunge's appearance on Shark Tank helped them grow their business and the biggest challenges he and Michael had to overcome when they took the plunge and started their company. Resources:Plunge.com - Learn more about Plunge at their websiteUpFlip HUB - Tips and advice to start or grow a businessHow SharkTank Helped Bunch Bikes Grow to $2.7M Revenue in 2021 - Episode 19 of the UpFlip podcastHow I Built This - Podcast hosted by Guy Raz who interviews famous entrepreneursMy First Million Podcast - Podcast that takes a deep dive into business opportunitiesAcquired Podcast - Learn the playbooks that built companies in this podcastConnect with UpFlip: On Facebook On Instagram @UpFlipOfficial on Twitter For more insights to start, build, or grow a business, check out the resources on UpFlip.com or head to the UpFlip YouTube channel to see more interviews with business owners and experts.

Ryan Duey is the Co-Founder + Co-CEO of plunge.com. Plunge has seen fantastic growth with increases in demand for cold plunge and contrast therapy coming out of the pandemic. Ryan and I go deep into what caused the company's parabolic rise and how he and his co-founder Michael Garrett were able to both help create and capitalize on the current cold plunge boom.We talk about getting free organic exposure from Lebron James. Plunge's origin story during COVID lockdowns. His appearance on SharkTank, goals for the future and his honest advice for young entrepreneurs. A really fascinating insight is Ryan's concept of the entourage effect. I had never heard of the concept before, but I think it is a genius and a big reason why the company and cold plunges in general took off so quickly in the United States.If you like health and wellness or a great founder story that involves taking risks and pivoting during adversity, then I think you will really like this episode.Discussion Topics:(1:17) Icebreaker: study abroad.(3:16) Lebron James, Tony Hawk, Andrew Huberman and more. (14:37) Why did cold plunge go parabolic in December 2022?(21:30) The entourage effect.(24:09) Which celebrity has the coolest house?(30:47) Plunge's origin story - necessity is the mother of invention.(38:12) Sharktank … was it worthwhile?(43:00) Sauna launch.(51:29) Advice for young entrepreneurs.(53:33) Rapid fire.

I love it. Man. You are the co founder of cold plunge. and founder of capital floats, man, it's it's amazing. That cold plunge. I watched you guys on Instagram and social media and what you guys have done. We originally connected April 6 of 2021. And I think you said a lifetime has happened since then. Man, yeah. When you said that I was like April 2021. We were. Man, I think we were doing some of our first like, quote unquote, celebrity drop offs. You know, from, from a facility standpoint, we've moved into, like three different facilities since then, just like scaling up in size wise. So it's like, I'm like, wow, we were in this, you know, little 3000 square foot facility back then. Companies really grown up a lot in a lot of different ways. We were still very young. But yeah, really, in that last year and a half. It's been it's been a wild ride. And we you know, went on Shark Tank since then. I mean, it's been a lot. Brett Gilliland 2:07 Yeah, that's awesome, man. So how did that go? So talk to us about that. Before we go there. Let's talk about plunge and what your company is and what you guys are about. I mean, I think you need to be under a rock right now, if people didn't know at least what this cold plunge was or the ice bath or the Wim Hof Method, right. I mean, this stuff's everywhere, but you guys, in my opinion, have taken it to a whole other level and what you guys have what your product is, it's amazing. Tell us a little bit about that. And we'll dive into all this other stuff. Ryan Duey 2:36 Yeah, so us as a company, we launched September of 2020 out of my co founders garage. You know, just start building a few emails some of our other customer base we started delivering those hand units in Northern California and then the company's just kind of grown like I was talking about earlier. We we build assemble, manufacture cold plunges. We ship them all over the world, mostly servicing in the United States. But yeah, man, Cold is having its moment. Like it's, you know, Wim Hof definitely paved the way in making this a much more credible thing, not just some crazy person thing. And what's cool is like, this isn't that radical of it's like, people will get in cold water for millennia. You know, this is like a very, like, human, human thing. And now it's just technologies met some kind of ancient, it's like a new, you know, ancient ancient modality with a new technology. And that's what we put together. And it's so cold to have and it's mobile, where people are people are using it, people are checking it out. And I think what's happening is, it's hit a point where, yes, you have the Dr. Andrew Haberman, it's the Rhonda Patrick's that are doing, you know, have done and done some studies, some research is coming out obviously what Wims done, but now more people are doing it and the actual like, like benefits are coming out firsthand. Like people aren't seeing the documentary of some one person doing it, their neighbors done it and their neighbor saying dude, I'm doing this thing. And they're sharing their benefits and that you know, it's radical. The benefits that happen. I go through our reviews all the time.

What happens when two float center owners get a little antsy during a global pandemic that shuts down their centers? They launch a new business together, of course! In this episode, Ryan Duey of Capitol Floats and Michael Garrett of Reboot share the story of how they came up with the idea to launch their own manufacturing business for cold plunge tubs - Cold Plunge. There are many parallels between floating and plunging, primarily focused on the breath and the awareness of the present moment, so it was a natural expansion of their vision, talents, and offerings. They'll answer questions about why you probably can't really “plunge in your tub at home for free”, how to begin and maintain a cold plunge practice, and why cold therapy is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds. They also give a little insight into what it was like to appear on Shark Tank to pitch their business and share updates with us for the first time publicly! If you're thinking about adding cold plunge, you won't want to miss this episode! You'll pick up tips on pricing, setup, and learn from their experiences launching the plunge in their float centers first.
