Former hedge-fund analyst Robbie Bent nearly lost everything to addiction and a failed startup—then rebuilt his life around cold plunges, saunas, and community. In this episode he explains how those backyard ice-bath meet-ups became Othership, a US $7 million Flatiron bathhouse that fuses 180 °F heat, 40 °F cold and guided breath-work into the most social “night out” in New York.
We cover science-backed protocols (80 min hot / 11 min cold per week), myth-busting women’s cold-plunge fears, designing third-places that replace bars, and the Obama mantra—“be kind, be patient, be fearless”—that drives Robbie’s vision for the future of wellness.
