Chapter Overview

Description

This audio summary follows the surprising rise of Peloton, beginning with an everyday moment: a household purchase that seems a little outrageous. From there, it opens into a wider story about how people work out, what they’re willing to pay for convenience, and why community can matter as much as equipment.

Along the way, we’ll look at how Peloton was built, what made it different from traditional gyms, how it grew through culture and connection, and what challenges it faced as it scaled. It’s a gentle exploration of entrepreneurship, behavior change, and the human desire to feel supported while trying to get stronger.

  • Anyone interested in entrepreneurship and what it really looks like behind the scenes—risk, rejection, and persistence
