Industry News ATN Introduces DISRUPT by Athletech News Collin Helwig May 22, 2026 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email DISRUPT by Athletech News - Hosted by Edward Hertzman DISRUPT delivers the unique insights and industry-defining coverage provided by Athletech News in a brand new format Athletech News is thrilled to announce “DISRUPT by Athletech News,” a new podcast hosted by ATN CEO and founder Edward Hertzman. This new show builds off ATN’s DISRUPT video series as well as its Unscripted and Master Knowledge verticals, bringing the top players in fitness, wellness and tech together for raw, powerful conversations focused around the sector’s most pivotal topics. “There’s no shortage of content in this industry but there’s a serious lack of depth,” Hertzman said. “Too many headlines, too much ‘how I built it,’ and not nearly enough real analysis, insight or honest dialogue. What’s been missing is access and more importantly, honesty. Through ATN, we have direct access to the executives actually shaping this industry, and for the first time, we’re creating a platform where they can open up, share real perspectives and have the conversations that have been happening behind closed doors. DISRUPT is designed to bring these kinds of conversations to the forefront.” DISRUPT’s esteemed list of guests includes Christian Toetzke, Jake Stienfeld, Andrew Sugerman and Mark Mastrov, with plenty more on the way. Industry adviser, speaker and podcast veteran Eric Malzone will also feature prominently in the series. “This is a podcast for the operators, investors and leaders actively building the future, not just consuming it,” Hertzman added. DISRUPT by Athletech News is free to listen to on Spotify and Apple Music.
