Colin Nagy: Hi everyone, welcome back to the Skift Ideas Podcast and thanks for tuning in. I’m delighted to be joined by an awesome guest today, Harry Jameson, CEO of Pillar Wellbeing.

Harry has over 18 years' experience in the fitness and hospitality industries, having optimized performance and wellbeing for CEOs, celebrities and politicians alike. 

He has developed one-on-one fitness training for senior leaders at Quintessentially, Chelsea Football Club and Soho House Group; and created wellbeing retreats and advised on wellness programming and concept development in some of the world's most luxurious hotels and resorts. 

He's also a Wellness Editor at the Times with a monthly column, and a global brand ambassador for Lululemon and Technogym.

And I have a great history with Harry because he used to write an amazing column for a British magazine, and I was just a fan. I would pick up this magazine and I thought it was some of the most astute writing on fitness and wellbeing, and I actively sought him out and had the pleasure of working out with him in a few different places in London whenever I'd be in town.

It's been awesome to watch Harry's ascent with building Pillar and we'll get into the entire background.

So Harry, I'm super happy to have you on. It's always a pleasure to talk to you. Would love to know a little bit about your journey. You know, like give us some insight and history into your background and why this space is really important to you.
