    SPAC Podcast: Chamath's IPOF merger with Equinox

    Alex & Dana break down everything we know about Chamath's IPOF merger with Equinox. Particularly, all the divisions and services of Equinox (luxury hotels, gyms, in-studio cycling classes, on-demand workout content, hardware and more!) We compare Equinox to it's rival Peloton and discuss what the future holds in this very competitive space.
