Todd is the co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of Dream Performance & Recovery, makers of performance sleep products. His obsession and passion for fitness, nutrition, sleep and overall human performance optimization began when he was a walk-on for the Michigan State University football team. His successful college career led to an NFL opportunity for the Rams in 2012, where he took his passion for the strength and conditioning side of the sport to performance coaching. Starting as a trainer, he moved quickly into leadership and education and ultimately decided to take his learnings and skill sets into speaking and entrepreneurship. Todd has worked with several leaders in the sleep and recovery space to dive into the psychology of sleep and recovery and went on to take numerous continuing education courses surrounding sleep and now holds more than 10 certifications in fitness, nutrition and performance (CSCS, NSCA, NCSF, and more). Todd has been speaking on sleep for over 5 years as a sleep expert and co-founded Dream Performance and Recovery in 2023, designing the highest quality science-backed sleep performance products. He is currently working towards a Sleep Psychology PhD. SHOWNOTES:😴  Discover Todd’s unexpected journey from the field to founding a sleep performance brand😴  What changed when Todd met a sleep psychologist from UCLA?😴  How Todd’s personal sleep experiments uncovered the power of routines, nervous system regulation, and breath awareness😴  Why Todd created high-performance sleep tools—and how to choose the right ones for your routine.😴  The surprising role of awareness in better breathing and sleep😴  Todd’s New Innovation to Help Men Protect Fertility😴  BONUS for Sleep Is a Skill listeners: 🎁Use code SLEEPISASKILL (all caps) at Dream Recovery for an exclusive discount. 😴 And many more! SPONSORS:‍🪟Ublockout— Can you still see your hand in front of your face when you are in bed?
