Summary
During my health challenges this past year and the insane amount of insomnia caused by the toxic mold that had overtaken my body, I tried anything and everything that I could that might allow me to get some sleep…
I tried dozens of supplements, I started using an Oura Ring to track my sleep, I installed blackout shades on all of my windows, meditated for almost an hour before bed, and started wearing blue-light blocking glasses…
And all of these aids provided some kind of benefit, but very few helped as much as a product called the Chilipad.
I heard about the Chilipad from Tim Ferriss a year or two ago, and that he’d become a massive fan of the product.
Last year I purchased one as well, and it’s been a game-changer.
The Chilipad circulates warm or cold water through a pad that you place under your sheets, and it keeps your body at the ideal temperature it needs to fall into a deep sleep pattern, which is when your body restores and heals itself.
Well I have to say that I was absolutely thrilled to get the chance to interview the Founder of the company, Tara Youngblood.
I had so many questions for her about the inspiration for the invention of the product, the manufacturing process, patents, marketing, shipping, customer service, and everything in between…
Tara answered all of those questions and so many more…
I have to say that this interview is absolutely priceless for anyone who has an idea for a physical product…
But beyond the practical business wisdom she’s going to share with you today, is an incredibly important message…
They launched the Chilipad about 13 years ago… And it didn’t really catch on and start to sell for the next 10 years.
But once the word got out, their business has 10X’d for the last three years in a row.
This is such a fantastic story and it was so awesome to get to talk the inventor of a product that I’ve been using every single day as a customer.
At the end of the show I asked Tara if she’d be willing to give you guys a discount on a Chilipad system for your bedroom, and she graciously offered to give my listeners a 20% discount, but this was a spur of the moment ask on my end, so she was not prepared during the interview with a coupon code to give you.
Thankfully I’ve been able to secure that for you, and I’m just going to give it do you right now…
If you want to save 20% on a Chilipad system, just go to www.GetChiliPad.com and during the checkout process, use the coupon code, “Mike20".
It’s an amazing product and an absolute steal when you consider the amount of improved sleep that you’ll experience night after night for years to come.
