Today, I'm joined by Jason Goodman, co-founder of Bathhouse.

A communal oasis, the Brooklyn-born concept combines ancient bathing rituals, elite bodywork, and modern design to help guests look, feel, and perform their best.

In this episode, we discuss reimagining the traditional bathhouse for wellness consumers.

We also cover:

• Bathhouse's genesis

• Why day passes outperform memberships

• Bringing experiential hospitality to sauna culture
