On this episode of The Casey Adams Show, I sat down with Anthony Katz, the visionary founder and CEO of Hyperice, who is on a mission to build what he calls the "Nike of recovery." Anthony’s journey is one of relentless perseverance and innovation. From being a high school history teacher and basketball coach to building a $700 million company, Anthony has revolutionized the recovery technology space with game-changing products like the Hypervolt massage gun, which led Hyperice to generate over $100 million in revenue in 2018.
Anthony's entrepreneurial story started with a simple yet impactful idea—creating a better way to ice muscles using wetsuit scraps and ice packs. His innovation caught the attention of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who encouraged Anthony to refine the product. With Bryant's feedback, Katz pushed forward, eventually securing investments from elite athletes like LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Naomi Osaka. Today, Hyperice products are used by top athletes worldwide, from NBA stars to weekend warriors, making Anthony Katz a key player in the sports recovery industry.
