In this episode of The Future of Consumer Marketing, host Brett Stapper interviews John Solomon, CMO of Therabody. Therabody has transformed from a single percussion therapy device company (Theragun) into a comprehensive wellness ecosystem spanning performance, recovery, beauty, and everyday wellness.
