This week Joy chats with Dr. Eric Korem, who has always been driven by a relentless pursuit of high performance as he’s coached athletes from football players to Olympic athletes. As time progressed, that drive became a purpose — to improve the lives of others in ways they didn’t know were possible. He did his PhD on sleep so he knows a thing or two about how to get better quality shut-eye and he’s super passionate about helping others truly thrive.
