Summary

This conversation with Pat Byrne is really about the building of an entrepreneurial venture based on sleep technology. The importance of getting quality sleep is a well accepted principle, research based, and on average we need to get somewhere between seven to eight hours of sleep a night to be the best version of ourselves, to be vibrant, and to have the capacity to think clearly and quickly. Pat has been one of the pioneers in the field that have been able to bridge well-accepted principles in research with emerging technology. There's so many gems and nuggets in this conversation about sleep and where he comes from and how he’s dedicated his life efforts and why he's become a game changer. He’s definitely shifted the way that professional sport franchises, at least many of the ones that I've been involved with or have friends that have been involved in others, have been able to think about sleep. Before he came along with this technology, there was the talk of how important sleep is but now there’s actually a way to monitor it. I hope that this conversation reveals Pat’s genius.

0:00.0	The brain is you know is like our CPU controls everything we do
0:04.2	Sleep is an important brain function. It's not just something we do. It's an important brain function. The analogy that I use is kind of like when you go to sleep your car goes into the garage
0:14.3	all these mechanics come out they clean it up they gas it up they change the oil they you know they get it ready
0:20.0	and when you wake up you're good to go for the day. You know when you're not
0:23.7	getting enough sleep your car is coming out of the garage with a half a tank of gas and
0:27.8	you end up crashing. All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Jervay.
0:43.4	And the idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who are on the frontier, who are
0:48.2	on the path of mastery, who have a command of the nuances of their craft. People who are changing the way we understand how an
0:54.3	industry works. And we want to understand how they see the world, how they see
0:58.6	themselves in it, the unique journey that has led them to that point of view and we also want to dig deeper
1:04.4	to understand the mental skills that they've used to build and refine their
1:07.5	craft. Finding mastery is brought to you by natural stacks. Your brain is one of the
1:12.4	hungriest organs in your body. It's been found
1:15.2	to consume roughly around 20% of your energy every day. That means an important
1:20.2	factor between the days you feel sluggish and the days that you feel sharp
1:24.1	is how fuel efficient your brain is and that's why I'm excited to be
1:28.3	partnered with natural stacks. They've got a product, they're dopamine brain food supplement that's designed to
1:35.0	support the body's natural production of dopamine. If you've ever had days
1:39.2	where you felt tired or stressed or unmotivated,
1:42.6	those may be signs of suboptimal or low levels of dopamine,
1:47.1	among many other potential factors, of course.
1:50.3	When dopamine is optimized, it's been linked to enhanced mood and motivation, focus, attention, mental clarity, learning.
