Zwift cofounder Eric Min was a tantalizing and wildly obvious guest candidate for a number of reasons that we'll enumerate, however, we did not think he'd join us so soon! Last year Eric turned up in the Breakfast Club slack, to our delight, and agreed to hop on a call to discuss an interview. We scheduled the interview for the fall, after the Zwift Ride bike launch, and Eric stayed true to his word. This is a milestone for us because of Eric's prominence in the cycling industry, his role in bringing virtual riding and racing to the masses, the unicorn status achieved after the last funding round, and selfishly, our joy using the product. The interview covers a range of topics from challenges Zwift faced after making bets on a pandemic spike that did not last, to the origin story of the Tour De France Femmes Avec Zwift, to Eric's recommendations for folks that are just getting started on the platform, so there's something for everyone. RIDE ON.

Topics Covered: 

• Eric Min's background and the founding of Zwift 
• The evolution of virtual cycling and the remarkably efficient training it delivers
• Zwift's initiatives to promote women's cycling and Zwift Academy's success
• New Zwift features like steering and the cycling community
