What's going on, guys? Welcome back to Jeremy Scott Finish podcast and radio show. Coming to you on this Thursday night here really fast.

Before we jump into a group Metcon session here with our athletes and invest some serious sweat equity and leave some body butter laying on the floor.

I want to touch on this podcast because it was heavily requested from you guys. I'm going to give you kind of a CliffsNotes version of it.

It's about sleep. Obviously, I'm not a sleep expert by any means, but I've learned enough along the way, and I've consulted with our physicians and the people that I trust in that realm. There's obviously people who are well advanced in terms of me, but I'm going to talk about, since you guys have asked, how I sleep, how I prioritize it how what I see in our athletes, what I see in people,

and, you know, maybe a handful of ways you guys can, I get better quality restorative sleep, if you

will. Now, I need to give you, you know, full disclaimer here. Sleep is probably something I've

struggled with the most of any of the health components over the past decade, I have gotten

substantially better as I've gotten older as I've seen and felt the value of it.

Early on in my life, in this life, in meeting a fitness professional, an athlete, an entrepreneur,

running multiple businesses and entities, we sometimes wear uh you know sleep

deprivation as a badge of honor and of like pride of like you know where it's maybe the the macho

masculinity bullshit we do as men or maybe it's just us as entrepreneurs in general uh you know i can get by

on three hours of sleep and that's what i used to do like three to four hours a night i would get up you know and crush it the entire day i'd work out harder you know, I can get by on three hours of sleep. And that's what I used to do, like three to four hours a night. I would get up, you know, and crush it. The entire day, I'd work out harder, you know, immediately than probably most people do. I would do, you know, every email. I'm writing content. We're filming videos and go to sleep at, you know, basically midnight and then wake up, you know, at four in the morning and then repeat, you know, wash, rinse, repeat that same process.

But it does catch up with you. And you don't, and I think that's of most adults, I don't think many of us know how bad we feel until we know how bad we feel. So meaning like, I don't think the average American knows what healthy feels like. So therefore they don't have a reference point to understand like, wow, this is what I feel like every day.

But if I did X, Y, and Z z i could feel like this every day holy shit and it was very transparent to me even earlier this year um when obviously you guys know i wake up at 350 every day so i'm up just before four in the morning we're in a service business here work with people and athletes. And these guys are gangsters who show up at 5 a.m.

I want to rip it.

Much respect to them because I sure is hell I want to do it.

But they do. And they make it a priority. And I have the utmost respect for them. And so we have to be here to deliver to them to open the door, to crank the music, walking through the progressions and just, you know, be there for them as they're here

early as hell. And so that's, you know, kind of what I signed up for, at least in this part of the

business in this life. And earlier this year, we had an event and we had some meetings with friends and colleagues and some business deals we were doing. And they happened to be on back-to-back-to-back nights. And so I remember, like, Thursday night I didn't get home to like midnight. And then I got to

get up in the next day and go to work. And I remember like I was okay because maybe the adrenaline and I was excited about some ideas and some things that are coming to play for our business in my life. So I'm like, okay, this is cool. And then the second night, we had the same thing, a client event where people went out and I didn't get home until midnight again. And I started to really start to feel like shit later that night and then i woke up that third day and i'm like a zombie

bro i'm completely smoked. And then again that third night I'm getting home at midnight and waking up at four the next day. And by the time that third day was over, I felt like I had been out, you know, like I had drank 25 Budwisers and I had headbutted the wall seven times. I didn't have one
