Leading On The Battlefield and In Business Optimal health for busy entrepreneurs

Welcome to episode 30 of Optimal Health For Busy Entrepreneurs.

Life is unpredictable. But yet and still, there are a few things that every human will experience: uncertainty being one of them. At some point, uncertainty and turbulent waters will meet with us face-to-face.

And my guest this week, Ty Smith is here to deliver the mindset to help navigate those uncertain times. Becoming superhuman isn’t just about physical mastery, there’s an emotional and mental component that must be given proper nurturing.

Ty is someone who had a life-changing moment as a little boy from an unexpected source, which planted the seed that eventually led to him becoming a Navy SEAL. And after he retired from years of service, Ty had to reinvent himself for the next phase of life (both personally and professionally).

I enjoyed this conversation and I think you will as well. There were so many insights and powerful reminders I got from this conversation. Here’s more information about Ty:

Ty Smith is the Founder and CEO of VRS. He is a retired United States Navy SEAL Senior Chief. Prior to retiring from the Navy, Ty completed a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management from Ashford University, and a Master of Business for Veterans from the University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business. After 20 years of faithful and honorable service to God and country, Ty launched Vigilance Risk Solutions, a San Diego-based security consulting and risk mitigation company with a special focus in the field of workplace violence mitigation.

25: Sleep is a Skill with Mollie McGlocklin

by

Welcome to episode 25 of Optimal Health For Busy Entrepreneurs.

I often mention that sleep has its strings on every single facet of life. When it comes to optimal health, sleep is the foundational pillar.

And my guest this week, Mollie McGlocklin is here to deliver a masterclass on sleep optimization.

Mollie wasn’t someone who is a naturally great sleeper, it’s something she developed. What initially sparked me to reach out to Mollie was her optimistic outlook along with being a treasure-trove of information when it comes to sleep. I’ve never come across anyone who loves the subject of sleep as much as she does.

I enjoyed this conversation and I think you will as well due to her easy-going spirit along with her impactful advice around sleep. Here’s more information about her:

Mollie is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, a company that optimizes how people sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. The company was born from “scratching her own itch” after a lifetime of poor sleep habits culminated into a mega-challenging bout of insomnia for months without end. With a background in psychology & human behavior, she went down the rabbit hole to solve her own sleep disturbances without sleeping aids. She became fascinated with chronobiology, and by extension, its practical applications to restore a state of homeostasis not only to her sleep but also to her life as a whole. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she’s now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep.

Listen to the episode here:

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

  • How she’s handling life during the quarantine and lockdowns
  • What’s glymphatic drainage, how can sleep support it, and why do we care?
  • Her nutrition strategy and overall approach to optimal health
  • Her origin story
  • Why sleep is a skill
  • The connection between sleep, HRV Metrics, and dating (seriously!)
