"For the longest time people believed it was impossible to break the 4 minute mile. In 1954, Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile. But what I find super interesting is that, in less than a year other people broke the 4 minute mile. It wasn’t that nutrition was better that year. It was that people believed it was possible. We purposely choose collision, co-learning, and connectedness because we wanted something that could be replicated.”
