ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Today on The Mark Haney Show, we sit down with Ryan Duey — Co-Founder & CEO of Plunge — the Sacramento-built wellness company that went from a garage prototype during COVID to one of the fastest-growing cold-plunge and sauna brands in the world.
In this episode, Ryan walks us through:
🔥 The float-tank experience that changed his life
🔥 How COVID shut everything down — and sparked the idea for Plunge
🔥 The $10 domain decision that put them on the map
🔥 The influencer wave that followed: Aubrey Marcus, Huberman, Rich Roll, Tony Hawk
🔥 Building a 150,000 sq. ft. manufacturing operation in Sacramento
🔥 Cold-plunge science, sauna benefits, and the future of wellness tech
🔥 Why urgency beats a perfect business plan
Plunge is now a global wellness hardware and software brand serving homes, gyms, hotels, and health facilities around the world. And it all started with two entrepreneurs, a garage, and a crazy idea.
If you’re an entrepreneur, maker, or wellness enthusiast — this is a must-listen.
