Episode 85 - Elite Sleep with Dr. Landry

Elite Sleep 

The Bend Don't Break podcast is shifting its focus from stories of resilience in first responders to exploring the foundations of high performance for everyone, not just elite athletes. The upcoming six-week series will delve into often-overlooked aspects such as sleep, mental imagery, nutrition, and mental resilience, providing practical tools and techniques for listeners to improve their daily functioning and thrive. The first episode of this new direction will focus on "Elite Sleep" and will feature Dr. Glenn J. Landry, a sleep coach and founder of Elite Sleep, as the expert guest.

 

·       Shift in Podcast Focus: The podcast is intentionally pivoting from sharing emotional stories of overcoming challenges to providing actionable strategies for achieving peak performance in everyday life. The hosts state, "In the past we have been telling stories of first responders who have gone through challenges and found a way to overcome the barriers... But now we are going to talk about how to perform at your best." This indicates a move towards practical self-improvement content.

·       Democratization of High Performance: A core theme is the belief that high performance is not exclusive to elite athletes. The podcast aims to make these concepts accessible and applicable to a wider audience, including "whether you're leading a team, raising a family, running a company, or just trying to get through the week." The central message is, "here at Bend Don’t Break, we believe high performance isn’t just for athletes. It’s for everyone."
