S03E09 (#337). Cal Thompson, VP of Product Design and Research at Headspace, joins us to talk about the evolution of Headspace from a pure mindfulness app to a comprehensive mental health platform, including health coaches and therapists.

We chat about Headspace’s internal culture and how they manage being a healthy workplace as a health company. We also discussed the importance of measuring success by using human outcomes metrics, such as stress reduction and improved sleep, rather than traditional engagement metrics.

“What we have found is 10 minutes of meditation, three times a week, is like that perfect sort of sweet spot to measurably reduce someone’s stress. So those are the metrics we care about.” – Cal Thompson
