The Rise Science Podcast

At Rise Science, we're on a mission to make healthy sleep standard. We work with sales teams and elite athletes to unlock measurable improvements in the outcomes that matter to them most. Rise is the only app that produces the real-world benefits of better sleep. We use one hundred years of sleep science to help you leverage sleep and your circadian rhythm to feel better, be more productive, and perform at your best. On the Rise Science Podcast, we dig into the science and thinking around sleep and performance and how to put it into practice. We spend a third of our lives asleep, yet sleep - and how to make sleep science actionable and applicable to our lives - is under-examined and under-discussed. To help fill that gap, Rise Science co-founder and CEO Jeff Kahn interviews industry leaders, performance coaches, and sleep scientists who can teach us the best ways to create the lifelong habit of healthy sleep to get more out of every day at home and at work.

    As a sales leader, you are responsible for equipping your team for success. But there is more to it than investing in sales coaching or the shiniest new tech.  Your team’s health and wellbeing are just as much your responsibility. And that means making sure they get healthy sleep.  In the latest episode of the Rise Science Podcast, I interviewed Ron Needham, SVP Sales & Marketing, North America at ManpowerGroup, the world’s third-largest staffing firm, and a decorated US Infantry veteran. Ron’s impressive career as a sales leader at some of the world’s most successful companies, including elcom, Dun & Bradstreet, SAP, and Salesforce has always been informed by lessons learned serving in the military. Drawing on all of this experience, Ron has made sleep one of the top priorities for his team. We discussed how the military influenced Ron’s leadership style, why sleep is a leader’s responsibility, especially in a crisis, and Ron’s top performance tip.
