And then I started wondering why there is no, we're building reusable rockets, and we have phones in our pockets all day, but then a third of my life is spent on a piece of dumb phone. And when you think about a third of your life, don't think daily, think across the whole life. Let's say you live 100 years. It's 33 years of your life that are spent without technology on a piece of dumb phone, and maybe they could be compressed to 25 years.

So what if I give you back eight years of your life? Would you care?

All right, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Gervais, and by Trade and Training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist, fortunate to work with some of the top performers across the planet. And the idea behind these conversations, this podcast, is to learn from extraordinary people. What we're gonna do is we're gonna pull back the curtain to explore how they've committed to mastering both their craft and their minds.

And our minds are our greatest asset. And if you wanna learn more about how you can train your mind, this is just a quick little reminder here that we've built an online psychological training course that I created with the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Pete Carroll. And you can find all of that information at findingmastery.net forward slash course. It's one of the great investments that you might make in your life for yourself and for loved ones.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Bubbs Naturals. Like many of you, I'm mindful about what I put in my body. For me, it usually comes down to ingredients and simplicity. The shorter the list, the better. And if I have to look it up, I'm usually out. That's why I've been loving Bubbs Naturals. Bubbs creates products with high quality, all-natural ingredients designed to help people get after their adventures in life. I've been a huge fan of their hydrate or dye electrolyte mix for years now. It only has six total ingredients, but it's packed with five times the electrolytes as conventional sports drinks with none of the added sugars, artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. It's great for post-workout recovery, outdoor adventures, and staying hydrated during long periods of travel, which I've done a lot of lately, and Bubbs is a go-to for me. Plus, all Bubbs products are 100% NSF for sports certified, which means they pass the most rigorous quality standards. They're currently in just about every MLB locker room. Working closely with the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and more, of course.

Now this week's conversation is with Matteo Franceschetti, the CEO of Eight Sleep. Matteo has always been obsessed with performance, athletic performance, business performance, and now sleep performance. And he's found success in all three. Sports podiums, working at an international law firm, and then starting two clean tech companies on two different continents. And he did all this before the age of 30 So not surprisingly, sleepless nights were a way of life for him. And that's what led him down this path. It was Matteo's quest for more restorative sleep that in fact led him down the path to launch Eight Sleep. It's a company dedicated to fueling human potential through optimal sleep and to turning the bed into a seamless health platform for improved health performance and longevity. Eight Sleep has been an amazing partner for us for a handful of years now. And I wanted to speak to Matteo to understand both his entrepreneurial journey and his insights there, as well as his insights on sleep.
