Take action quickly, learn fast, and iterate without ego.

Speak directly, receive feedback openly, and pursue truth over politics (no right or wrong, only what\'s best for the business).

Love the grind of building something meaningful and category-defining.

Care deeply about health, performance, and helping others feel better.
