#323 Jimmy Buffett

**David Senra** (0:00)
I think you're going to like this episode. I did a ton of prep and research. I read over 700 pages, read a bunch of articles on all his different business holdings. And then I also watched this documentary where he was interviewed for about an hour over 20 years ago. And he said something in that documentary that I thought was fascinating. He also mentions it in one of the biographies as well. And he talked about the more serious he got in his career, the older he got, the more serious he took in the practice of his craft and the service that he was providing to his customers. The more important his sleep became. And Jimmy had a great line where he's like, I wake up now at the time I used to go to bed. And Jimmy's not alone in that realization that, hey, the quality of your sleep is tied to the quality decisions you make and the quality of the product and the service that you're putting out. And so therefore you should try to do everything you can to optimize and make sure you're getting the best rest possible. And the only thing that I have found that has actually improved my sleep has been an eight sleep. I have never had the ability before to change the temperature of my bed before I had an eight sleep. I had no idea how that one thing would actually improve the quality of my sleep. I like to keep my eight sleep ice cold, and I make sure that it's cold before I get into bed so I can fall asleep faster and I wake up less during the night. I truly believe that feature alone is worth ten times the price. Eight sleep is so good that now every time I travel, you know the product is good is because you notice its absence. It's to the point now when I know if I have to travel, I'm like, oh my goodness, I'm not going to have my eight sleep. And that realization is spreading. I've heard from a bunch of people listening to founders that bought their eight sleep and love it, but it's also spreading in my own household. My daughter was feeling down and she wanted to sleep in bed with her mom. And so I gave her my side of obviously the bed and I was like, Hey, do you want me to keep the eight sleep on or do you want me to turn it off? She said, no, please keep it on. So the next morning I asked her, I was like, what'd you think? She says, I love it. Can I have one? And so I told her, it's a good thing. I know how to get $150 off. I believe there's very few no brainer investments in life. And I do believe eight sleep is one of them. If you want to try an eight sleep and get your own, you can get $150 off by going to eightsleep.com forward slash founders. Again, to get $150 off and get the best sleep of your life, go to eightsleep.com forward slash founders. And speaking of travel and noticing a product's absence, I'm actually traveling to New York City in less than two weeks. There's only two weeks left before I'm doing this live show in New York City. I'm doing with Patrick O'Shaughnessy from the invest like the best podcast. It is on October 19th. There is less than 100 tickets left available.
I'm excited to do my first ever live show. I will be missing my eight sleep mattress because obviously we sleep in a hotel in New York City. However, if you have not gotten your tickets yet, I will leave a link down below and you can also go to founderspodcast.com to get tickets and you can go directly to the venue's website, which is Webster Hall in New York City. This is gonna be a one time only show. So make sure you don't miss it before you go. Do me a favor. Patrick just invited me to be interviewed on his excellent podcast. I did it a few weeks ago. I will leave a link down below. But if not, you can just search in your podcast player, wherever you're listening to this on and search for invest like the best. Look for episode 343 David Senra in the service of founders. I really enjoyed that conversation and really any conversation I get to have with Patrick. It's 90 minutes. I think there's a lot of useful information. One other thing before we jump into this incredible world and life, the Jimmy Buffett stories got me super inspired. It got me fired up. I spent an unbelievable amount of time just living in this guy's mind and his world. What he was able to build over such a long period of time, I found very, very inspiring. But I do want to tell you about one other product that several of my founder friends are also using. And that is Vesto. Vesto with a V. You can check them out at vesto.com. So that's V as in Victor, E as in Egg, S as in Senra, T as in Tom, O as in Oprah.
