Food. Activity. Sleep.

If you\\u2019re not doing all 3 properly, you\\u2019re far less likely to scale your business successfully.

In fact, we\\u2019re getting less sleep than ever. And, with today\\u2019s understandable stressors, the quality of our sleep has suffered.

But I tracked down a Venture-backed CEO who sleeps like a baby. Nine hours a night.

He\\u2019s Matteo Franceschetti, Co-Founder & CEO of Eight Sleep

Based in NY, Eight Sleep developed a proprietary technology called the Pod that enhances sleep performance, and is currently used by pro athletes and top performers across multiple industries to fall asleep faster and get more restful sleep. The end goal of the Pod is to compress sleep and scan your body while asleep to monitor your health.

It\\u2019s the \\u201cPeloton of Sleep\\u201d

Eight Sleep was named one of Fast Company\\u2019s \\u201cMost Innovative Companies\\u201d in 2018, recognized as one of TIME\\u2019s \\u201cBest Inventions\\u201d in 2019.

Matteo & team are backed by some of top VC\\u2019s around: Azure Capital Partners, Comcast Ventures, Craft Ventures, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Y Combinator, 8VC, Jason Calacanis, Sway Ventures

In this 20-minute episode, Matteo reveals how he\\u2019s putting a Rockstar in every seat of Eight Sleep.

(It\\u2019s sure to keep you awake.)
