Wyatt Ewing

President's Buckeye Accelerator - Pitch Finale Judge

Wyatt is the Founder and CEO of Ice Barrel, with expertise in product innovation, manufacturing, and eCommerce marketing. Before Ice Barrel, he worked in corporate aviation, buying and selling jets. Like so many, he bought into the fiction our society tells us; work harder, sleep less, and don't complain. The stress and anxiety of the 60-80 hour work week took a toll on his physical and mental well-being. Eventually, reality caught up with Wyatt. "I was broken, sick, and desperate for a change." 

Shortly after hitting bottom, a stranger approached him at the gym and offered some candid advice. Saying, "you don't look well," the man then went on to explain the power of breathwork, meditation, and cold showers. Wyatt was skeptical but was desperate to try anything. He started researching the science of cold therapy and was hooked. It wasn't long before his wife noticed the results of these new practices. "It was like he was a new man." 

After growing tired of cold showers and ice baths in the house, Wyatt decided to invent a cold therapy device that would allow him to simplify the practice. He started sharing a few of these prototypes with others and quickly realized that there were so many people looking for a solution for their recovery. That's when he set out on a mission to create the most accessible and effective cold therapy solutions, helping everybody, everywhere, to get colder and feel better! A few months later, Ice Barrel went from prototype to a product.  

Now Ice Barrel is considered the leading brand in the Cold Therapy industry. The team at Ice Barrel believes that everyone is capable of a life filled with well-being, and they are working to introduce products that simplify the practices that release us to do the extraordinary. 

Currently, Wyatt lives in Ohio with his wife and three children. He is passionate about family, cold therapy, health and wellness, cooking, and being in nature.
