And I suspect theyโ€™re only one or two connections away. ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Who in your network could explain what people are really buying when they pay up to ยฃ37,000 a year to join a health and wellness club? We would love to meet them. ๐Ÿ’ฌ A recent ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ piece describes how London's members' clubs are trading the cigar menu for cold plunges, longevity clinics and 40-biomarker health checks. Its most interesting finding is that the equipment is not what keeps the members coming: The community is.๐Ÿ’ก This time, Laura Millan Povedano and I would like to hear from the investment and business side.

We remain open to other profiles, of course, if someone fits the question better. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ As always, the format is light for speakers: a short introduction, followed by a (heated) debate we facilitate around an intimate table in Madrid.๐Ÿท If someone comes to mind, please share, tag them below or send me a message!
