What I learned from reading Arnold and Me: In the Shadow of the Austrian Oak by Barbara Outland Baker.
One of the most unique things about this podcast is that I know the founder of every company that advertises on founders.
I know Chris and Andrew from tiny, I know Anil from meter, and I know Mateo from eight sleep.
And I do this well, first of all, because all of them listen to founders, so it makes building a relationship a lot easier.
But the primary reason I do this is because I only want supporters of the podcast that live and breathe their product.
In every case, we share the same obsession for the quality of the products that we make and the businesses that we are building.
And eight Sleep is one of the supporters of this episode and the founder.
Matteo and I actually live in the same city.
A few months after I started using eight sleep, I randomly ran into Mateo at a restaurant.
I was with some founder friends of mine and I went over and said hi.
When I got back to my table, my friend asked me who that was and I was like, oh, that's Mateo, the founder of eight Sleep.
And my friend replied, he said the funniest thing.
He said, oh, he looks like he gets good sleep.
Mateo is living and breathing his product.
I've never had the ability to change the temperature of my bed before I had an eight sleep.
I had no idea how much that would improve the quality of my sleep.
I keep my eight sleep ice cold.
I make sure it's cold even before I get into bed so I can fall asleep faster and I wake up less during the night.
There are very few no brainer investments in life, and I believe an eight sleep is one of them.
