Hey friends, it’s Wisdom here! In this episode of Wisdom Journey, I sat down with Tim Thomas, a former Special Forces command duo turned sleep strategist and founder of Breathwork in Bed. We dove deep into why sleep is the most underrated business tool out there—and why burnout is not a badge of honor, but a biology problem we can fix. Tim shared how fatigue silently kills productivity, the real cost of poor sleep, and practical ways to track and invest in your energy just like you would profits. We also got hands-on with powerful breathwork techniques you can use right away to reset, relax, and reclaim your best self. I hope you leave this episode inspired to prioritize rest, recharge your body and mind, and realize that peak performance starts with a good night’s sleep. Let’s keep building, but remember—rest is part of the journey!
