| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Casey Adams Show. Today we are joined by Alexandra Zadarain, the co-founder of AteSleep. |
| 0:08.2 | Alexandra, thank you so much for coming to the show today. |
| 0:10.7 | Of course. Thank you for having me. |
| 0:12.8 | So before we dive into AteSleep, one, not only have I been an incredible fan of the product and user and customer for the last three years. But a question I wanted |
| 0:21.2 | to start this conversation with that, I found myself saying a lot to people is instead of saying |
| 0:26.9 | how have you been, like, how are you lately? How have you been sleeping lately? I think that's a great |
| 0:31.7 | question before diving into the conversation today. Well, you asked me how I've been sleeping. |
| 0:40.6 | I got back home. I live in Miami, and I got back home on Sunday after like a week of travel. So the last couple nights have been |

| 1:20.1 | I'd love for you to just give a high level overview before we really dive into the story. |
| 1:25.4 | Yes, of course. So eight sleep, the company is a health and wellness company |
| 1:28.7 | focused on sleep fitness. We essentially build technology products that will help people achieve |
| 1:34.4 | sleep fitness. So help you sleep better. We believe at AteSleep that technology can help you sleep |
| 1:40.4 | better. A lot of conversations out there say no and they say otherwise and say, |
