  So in order to remain calm you should not work for Calm

  Fun fact, all Calm's sessions are/were just audio files stored on S3, shared publicly, no auth. (as of late last year)

  I haven't tried Calm in a while, but I wonder if they were also trying to expand beyond meditation as Headspace has. Last time I checked, Headspace added general wellness features like workouts and also marketing tie-ins with Star Wars (and other Disney brands, I believe). The whole thing fascinates me since it was initially just an app to help you meditate. But I suppose if the name of the game is growth, you have to expand somewhere.
