  1. Katty Kay· Host0:01

    [upbeat music] This episode is brought to you by Whoop.

  2. Anthony Scaramucci· Host0:07

    Whoop is one of my favorite all-time products. It's clear we're living through pretty stressful times right now. It's easy to underestimate how much that can affect our sleep and ability to stay focused day to day.

  3. Katty Kay· Host0:21

    Yeah, avoiding burnout can feel like a full-time job in and of itself.

  4. Anthony Scaramucci· Host0:25

    Whoop helps with the bit people miss, that shows what actually's going on beneath the surface, Katty. It's a screenless wearable device that monitors your sleep, recovery, lifestyle, and stress.

  5. Katty Kay· Host0:39

    Yeah, and this matters to me. It even looks very elegant.

  6. Anthony Scaramucci· Host0:42

    Did you hear that, guys? Whoop is so stylish that even Katty Kay will wear the Whoop.

  7. Katty Kay· Host0:47

    It's the little gold clasp. I like that.

  8. Anthony Scaramucci· Host0:49

    I'm telling you, I had no idea how much my old routine was impacting my health, but since using Whoop and making those small adjustments, I've already started to feel the difference. Better sleep, clearer thinking, even more energy.
