Most founders can get to $1M–$5M. Then they hit the ceiling.

In this episode, Riley sits down with Jeff Reynolds (CEO, author, Managing Director at Sellside Group, and founder of PSF Accelerator) to unpack what actually separates service businesses that scale, become sellable, and command premium valuations from the ones that plateau.

Jeff has helped grow, buy, and sell leading professional services firms - with experience across $1B+ in M&A activity and 17 acquisitions.

In this conversation, we cover:

• The #1 reason service businesses stall after 30–50 employees

• The "Founder's Dilemma": Do you want to be a king or be rich?

• What buyers look for when your business goes to market (and what scares them off)

• Why leadership depth + real sales/marketing systems drive valuation

• The hidden downside of exiting early: losing mission, environment, and relationships

In this episode of the Superhuman Podcast, Riley sits down with Dr. Daniel Gartenberg (Dr. Snooze) - founder of SleepSpace, sleep scientist, and author of 20+ peer-reviewed papers - to break down what sleep actually does for your brain and body, why deep sleep matters for memory and long-term brain health, and how technology like sound, light, temperature, and AI will personalize sleep improvement over the next decade.

We cover:

• Why sleep impacts nearly every chronic disease (including brain health and Alzheimer's risk)

• Deep sleep vs REM: what's happening across 90-minute cycles

• Why wearables can be useful but imperfect for sleep staging

• The overlooked role of breathing and when to test for sleep apnea
