Max Martin, Co-founder & CEO, Enhanced — Let The Games Begin: How a competition involving the safe use of performance-enhancing substances builds trust among elite athletes and average consumers
M
2:33Max MartinGUEST
And what do I mean by that? I mean by that that, you know, people know that aging is inevitable, but feeling worse at this stage and time where we are in society isn't actually anymore.
M
2:44Max MartinGUEST
So people are very, very curious about what they can do in their own healthcare and preventative medicine to get the best out of their physiology and health to enjoy life at its full potential, and we're providing people pathways to do that.
M
2:57Max MartinGUEST
So the biggest section of our business is actually that we have a consumer business that offers to people, A, prescription drugs that are in the spaces of hormone therapies, longevity, wellness, et cetera, but then also supplements, and we make those enhancements safely accessible to people through telehealth.

Stacked: Inside the Enhancement Craze
M
13:47Max MartinGUEST
Rather than doing something in the shadows with unregulated substances, unsupervised, where you don't know the drug on drug interactions, rather than doing that in the shadows and trying to circumvent testing, our approach is, let's take that out in the open, put light on it.
M
14:01Max MartinGUEST
and then put the right medical and clinical supervision around it so that the athletes that choose to do it can do it safely.
M
14:10Max MartinGUEST
If I look at the first Olympiad back in ancient Greek, people were eating everything they could to boost themselves up and give themselves extra energy to have an advantage of it.
M
14:19Max MartinGUEST
We are looking to set up a completely new game with different rules to allow the athletes to get the best out of themselves while having this continuous medical monitoring to make sure that whatever they do, they stay within the ranges of what is healthy and safe.

Paris, I don't know if you've, if you've been there, but for me, it was like Paris was like the aura, like how it felt being there, it was just unbelievable.
M
11:08Max MartinGUEST
I was there when the marathon was there, so like the entire inner city was basically closed.
M
11:20Max MartinGUEST
What we're here to do is to showcase the benefits of enhancements through sports and what they can achieve for athletes, and that's a very different sentiment.

Jan FrodenoHOST
But depending on what you look at, you know, the kind of the, the outcome versus what was initially proposed is vastly different, right?

It's a massive honour, actually, as, you know, in the afterglow of celebrating 250 years of kicking the Brits out, we back.

Rav AroraHOST
Um, what, what stood out to you as, like, top two or three moments, uh, in the whole games?
Max MartinGUEST
So I think for me personally, it's probably a little bit different than for the average, average viewer.
Max MartinGUEST
Um, for me, with the first event that happened, I was overfilled with joy because for the first time now have we seen the athletes, you know, compete and really step on stage and do something.
Max MartinGUEST
Because- Leading up to the games, we were s- you know, like working super hard towards that goal, but you rarely take a step back and think about what are you actually doing.
Max MartinGUEST
And so being in the stadium myself, seeing the athletes compete for the first time was just an overwhelming moment.
Max MartinGUEST
And then I think personally as well, you know, I really have been so proud of every athlete that's gone into competition.
14 MINS LATER
Rav AroraHOST
And can you speak to your broader mission for providing access to enhancements to regular everyday consumers who may not wanna be professional athletes, but just wanna live a better, more physiologically optimized life?
The Protocol
11:56
12:04
Max MartinGUEST
And within what the law is, an adult should be able to take a decision for themselves on what they want and want not to do.
Max MartinGUEST
So similarly to whether we could test them whether they are taking a substance like Trenbolone, where do you draw the line, right? We are not gonna test the athletes on whether they're taking cocaine, whether they're taking, you know, uh, whether they're smoking weed in a jurisdiction where they're not supposed to be smoking weed.
Athletes competing on drugs? The Enhanced Games are here!

Jesse MulliganHOST
But you could think, well, is this more WWE or more Olympics? It seems like you're leaning into the entertainment's, um, package, the full package.
M
3:28Max MartinGUEST
Well, I think specifically, um, the events that we're doing, right, WWE is acting.
M
3:34Max MartinGUEST
Uh, what we're doing is a competition in exclusively measured events, right? There's no event where a single judge is involved.
M
3:45Max MartinGUEST
We have Australian who you might know as well, a three-time Olympic medalist, James Magnussen, who is swimming.
M
3:50Max MartinGUEST
I don't think that any of our athletes would see this as a WWE equivalent in terms of entertainment because the performance is not real.

Jesse MulliganHOST
And, and what about your response to critics who say this could encourage dangerous drug use, even if they're legal, um, that they may not be good for people and that they might be encouraged to take drugs that they... or a level of drugs that they might not otherwise have taken?

Mm.
Max MartinGUEST
Now, what they learn, though, in developing the Formula 1 car, in some form of a derivative, is gonna trickle down into the road car production a few years down the line.
Max MartinGUEST
Similarly with us, what helps an athlete break a world record, what helps an athlete, you know, beat their personal best at 35 years of age, is way too complicated for an average Joe like myself, but the learnings from all the work that we do with the athletes is constantly going to improve our own product offering and prescription guidelines for people like myself that want to get enhanced and live enhanced, too.
J
38:25Jeremy WhittleNARRATOR
What exactly is being built here? A sporting event? A medical experiment? A media spectacle? A consumer business? Because there is a business attached to this.
Max MartinGUEST
So what you can already purchase from us today is both OTC supplements as well as prescription drugs.
Max MartinGUEST
On the supplement side, we have two stacks that are focused, one, on longevity, and the other on strength and recovery.
Max MartinGUEST
And on the prescription side, these are all approved substances, including currently approved peptides, TRT for men, HRT for women, and certain other longevity drugs.
