That is why elite founders like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have all said publicly that they use eight sleep.
I would recommend getting the Pod 5, which is the newest generation of their signature product.
It is a smart mattress cover that you place on top of your existing mattress, and it is next-level sleep tech.
It automatically regulates your body temperature throughout the night independently for each side of the bed.
The result is you get up to a full hour of additional quality sleep per night.
Make the no-brainer investment in your sleep by going to 8sleep.com forward slash Senra and use the code Senra to get $350 off.
You can try it for 30 days at home and return it if you don't like it, but I'm confident you will love it.
I will never let anyone take my Eight Sleep from me.
Make sure you get yours at eightsleep.com forward slash Senra.
You said something in the early days of Spotify that was very fascinating.
You wanted to build like an enduring and impactful company that did something that no one else did, right?
It's remarkable also like when I'm listening to this series that was created in 2021, how much you guys are talking about AI and how early you were and you understood the impact, which is like,
you kind of saw clearly like where we're going uh but you said something that i didn't actually understand because the way i think about technology is like technology is just a better way to do something right and you're like at spotify though like at the very beginning it's like yeah i think you nailed it you're like the decisions that were made have to do with the dna of the founder because we're the only ones there but you said i like technology for technology's sake yeah what does that mean um
I think most of us, you can't even describe why you're doing what you're doing at the time.
And what I mean by that is like, you hinted on this earlier.
It's like, it's so easy to kill new ideas.
The arrow on the side of, no, we can't do this.
It's amazing to me how many times this comes up in all these biographies where it's just like, that's a skill you have to learn.
And a lot of it is like being comfortable with the messiness of the creative product process.
But it's also entrepreneurs by definition, impatient.
