Sweatcoin: the answer to nature’s orgasm failure, Oleg Fomenko, Founder Sweatcoin

Being paid to get fit may sound too good to be true, but it’s exactly what this week’s Searching for Mana guest Ole Fomenko is doing for his app’s more than 70 milllion users. Sweatcoin tracks a user’s steps and this summer will covert them into free crypto currency. Watching a movie with his children was the inspiration for the app; his motivation for driving it lies in repenting for previous professional sins. It’s a great episode, enjoy… Oleg Fomenko, founder of health currency app Sweatcoin, is this episode’s guest on the Searching for Mana show. Oleg has an eclectic CV: born in the Soviet Union, he started his career working for global corporate brands such as Coca-Cola and Mars, before coming to the UK and working at Boston Consulting Group, where he learned from other entrepreneurs’ failures. He decided to create Sweatcoin after realising his own fitness, which once enabled him to climb Kilimanjaro three times, had declined to the point he could no longer run 5k. And after watching a movie with his children about robots and obese humans… In this episode Oleg talks about the importance of sticking to your vision and not being swayed by others’ opinions or ambitions. He also discusses how Sweatcoin’s success lies in nature’s failure to award an orgasm for exercise - as well as choosing NEAR foundation as the protocol. This is a wide-ranging interview with great insights into an entrepreneur’s mindset and journey to success.
