We're Kasper and David - we were two sweaty guys who started Carpe, a company that makes products to help stop sweat all over the body!

When we were growing up, we sweat a lot, and we never really heard anybody talking about it. We met in college, connected over our sweaty hands, and have spent the past few years thinking about sweat, researching sweat, and working on sweat solutions.

On this podcast, you'll hear the uncensored stories of our experiences with sweat. You'll hear from the doctors helping people stop their excessive sweat, and you'll hear from the researchers that study how and why we all sweat.

Most importantly, you'll hear from sweaty folks just like us - about their most embarrassing sweat stories, and about how they're living with their sweat. Because we're all sweaty, and we're all in this together.

So join us each week, and let's talk about sweat!
