@Joshua Palassis , welcome bud! Fellow entrepreneur, connector, and visionary to our group! Time to get him done big time recovery gains!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :-) I'm up pretty late, but I just remembered that if I put my legs up on the wall, my back flat on the floor, that for some reason helps with sleep. It might be a blood pressure situation, but it's nice :-)

I'm probably the worst sleeper in this group (not a competition I want to win by the way) but something that had been game changing for me for years is guided meditation before bed. It's an effective part of my before bed routine and if I don't do it, I'm 50% more likely to have an anxious night. My preference is the Calm app, I'd give it a shot <3

Walk into any mattress store, scroll Instagram for five seconds, or breathe near a sleep-related hashtag… and suddenly you’re drowning in cooling beds, cooling toppers, cooling pads, cooling pillows — basically everything short of a refrigerated blanket. Eight Sleep, Sleepme (ChiliPad/OOLER), Tempur-Pedic — they’re all pushing “active cooling.”GhostBed, Viscosoft, Alwyn Home — they’ve got the passive cooling game on lock. The rise of voices like Matt Walker, Andrew Huberman, Peter Attia, etc. has taken the research mainstream. Now everyone knows: Temperature isn’t a luxury — it’s a core part of sleep quality. Companies know that, too. Eight Sleep literally markets that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg use their products, as if owning the same bed as a tech billionaire will magically fix your REM cycles. So the real question is… Do cooling mattresses actually work or are we getting seduced by fancy tech and solid marketing?

I have to give a huge shoutout to none other than THE @Rebecca Franko . I have been lucky enough to be yelling at her for the last 3 years... or her yelling at me... idk yet. she is an incredible woman, a big energy, and all around asskicker... welcome! Also, I have a video lying around here of her pulling her jeep with a rope.... yea... kinda badass
