Description

Today, Eight Sleep co-founder and CEO Matteo Franceschetti joins us to talk about sleep science, recovery, and how better sleep might be the greatest untapped lever for improving human performance.

He broke down why sleep matters more than fitness or nutrition, how deep and REM sleep drive mental and physical recovery, and how new tools are helping people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Matteo also shares Eight Sleep’s broader vision — from smart beds and thermoregulation to eventually compressing total sleep time without sacrificing recovery.

We also covered Harvey's shift to Google and Anthropic models, Chime's IPO filing, SpaceX’s rocket reuse milestone, and a potential Amtrak partnership with The Boring Company.
