Posted by Ryde: Team on 2/14/2025
Wellbeing should be simple. That’s the idea that fuels everything we do at Ryde:, and it’s the message Richard Schmidt, our Global Head of Wellbeing, shared during his appearance on Taste Radio Studio at BevNET Live Winter 2024. From tackling unrealistic expectations to celebrating small wins, Richard explained what makes Ryde: different and how we’re making a real impact.
In his conversation with BevNet, Richard didn’t shy away from critiquing the wellness industry, calling out its tendency to promote unattainable ideals that leave people overwhelmed. Ryde: takes a practical approach, focusing on small, meaningful ways to feel better—whether it’s powering through back-to-back meetings, finding focus during a busy afternoon, or unwinding after a chaotic day.
With Energize, Focus, and Relax shots, Ryde: is all about balance and made to support real-life needs. This ethos of celebrating small wins and supporting work-life balance resonates with those juggling careers, families, and everything in between.
“We’re here to make wellbeing accessible, realistic, and something that feels good—not another task on your to-do list,” Richard said.
