| 0:00.0 | One thing I've learned from interviewing a lot of founders and building companies myself is that |
| 0:03.5 | trust is the real currency of business. It's the thing that gets customers to buy, partners to say yes, |
| 0:08.5 | and investors to back you. But as you grow, trust stops being just a feeling and becomes something |
| 0:13.2 | you have to prove, because the bigger you get, the more exposed you are. Customer data, |
| 0:17.4 | security expectations, regulations, all of it. And the risk of one small mistake |

| 1:28.3 | And so even a single night of sleep deprivation can result in a dramatic increase in your |
| 1:33.3 | calorie intake overnight. |
| 1:35.3 | There have been some studies done, for example, in nurses. |
| 1:39.3 | So there was a study done that followed up nurses for 18 years, and they looked at their weight |
| 1:45.6 | and how much they slept on a regular basis. And what they found is that those nurses that |
