Description: Most productivity advice skips right past the most obvious lever: sleep. In this episode, JR speaks with Nathalie Walton who leads growth at Better Sleep, the app that's become the go-to sleep tool for 65 million people around the world. Nathalie's path here wasn't linear. It started with her own experience during pregnancy where she came to realize that there was a frustrating gap in support for women's health. That led her to found Expectful, a platform for fertility, pregnancy, and early motherhood, and eventually to Better Sleep, where she's helping scale something that genuinely changes how people feel day to day. JR and Nathalie get into:Why sleep isn't something you can bank or borrow againstHow Better Sleep built real trust with its users in an era when most health apps cut cornersWhy expanding access to care (especially for women and underserved communities) is one of the most important problems anyone in healthcare can be working on right now If you’re interested in health, startups or optimizing your performance at work and in life, you don’t want to skip this episode.
