What happens when you give employees 25% of your company? Discover how Sleep Train soared 800%—and changed 1,600 lives in 4 years. Ever wondered if true ownership could transform a business? In this episode, Mark Kinsley sits down with Dale Carlsen, legendary founder of Sleep Train, who reveals how a daring decision—handing 25% ownership to employees—sparked an 800% surge in company value and created life-changing wealth for team members. If you're a retailer, entrepreneur, or sleep industry pro who's ever struggled with building a lasting culture, retaining talent, or finding your “why,” you'll want to hear Dale's inside stories. From the emotional moment managers learned they were the new owners, to the delivery driver who bought his mom a house in Mexico, Dale shares the secrets behind Sleep Train's explosive growth and heart-centered mission. We also dig into why focusing on just one charity (Ticket to Dream) not only helped thousands of foster kids—but became a powerful business filter, driving loyalty and brand love. Industry experts, iconic ad campaigns, and the power of social good—all in one episode.Curious about how media personalities like Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern unknowingly helped revolutionize mattress marketing? Or why Dale refused to cut advertising, even when banks demanded it? The answers might surprise you.Timestamps:- 00:45 – The surprising origin of Sleep Train's 25% employee ownership- 03:18 – How $117M changed employees' lives (real stories inside)- 06:00 – The emotional “mirror moment” that redefined company culture- 09:20 – From delivery driver to “owner”: Employee impact stories- 13:06 – Why Ticket to Dream became the only charity—and how it fueled business growth- 19:58 – The heartbreaking stats about foster kids (and what Sleep Train did differently)- 28:55 – How doing good drove Sleep Train's brand loyalty and retention- 37:44 – The jingle, the whistle, and the marketing moves no one saw coming- 46:31 – When everything almost collapsed: Lessons from the Great Recession- 56:47 – What Dale learned about trust, betrayal, and vendor relationshipsConnect with The FAM Podcast:

Teething and sleep is one of those parenting topics that sparks a lot of debate. In this episode, Allison is addressing a question she hears constantly: Should you wait to sleep train if you know or suspect that your baby is teething? Spoiler alert: No, you don't need to wait! In fact, helping your baby learn to sleep well might actually help them manage teething discomfort better at night. Listen in as Allison dives into the latest research published in The Journal of Pediatrics, which reveals that teething does not actually cause night wakings. She'll share the findings from a brand-new study, which used advanced video monitoring to track the sleep patterns of babies on teething vs. non-teething nights. The results may surprise you! If you've been waiting to sleep train because of teething, this episode will reassure you that it's not only possible but beneficial to start sleep training now.

This bedtime story is about the mythical Orient Express service and the history of railways. Discover where the Orient Express came from: the story takes us to the early development of trains in Great Britain, the railroad mania of the 19th Century, the conquest of the Far West, the invention of luxury sleeping cars in the US by George Pullman, and the creation of the Compagnie des Wagons-Lits. For almost a century, the Orient Express was a link between two corners of Europe and connected capitals from the Belle Epoque to the 1970s, adapting to wars, the redrawing of frontiers, political changes, and technical revolutions. Relive this epic that inspired artists, adventurers, and writers like Agatha Christie.

In this week's episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast, Kelley welcomes Taylor Kulik, an advocate for families who choose not to sleep train their infants. Taylor is an occupational therapist turned holistic sleep consultant with a passion for non-toxic living, homeschooling, and snuggling babies all night. Years ago, Taylor was struggling with trusting what she knew was best for her children, and was consumed by fear-based parenting. This experience led to her passion for sharing her experiences and education with other parents who are going through the same journey to help lead them from fear to freedom.Today, Kelley and Taylor discuss the concept of self-soothing and how babies are not capable of self-regulation. Instead, babies are meant to co-regulate and borrow calm from a calm caregiver. They discuss how certain types of sleep training can raise cortisol levels in infants, insights on infant sleep and how to bed share safely, how co-sleeping benefits mental health for both parents and children, how to transition children into their own beds, and the most common reasons beyond children that adults aren't sleeping well or deal with insomnia. To learn more about co-sleeping and improving sleep for both baby and parents, tune into this episode!

I think as parents and caregivers, we need this reminder: You do not have to hit rock bottom before you get help. That's why I'm excited to bring back one of my absolute fan-favorite podcast episodes this week talking all about when to know if it's time to sleep train! I polled my Instagram followers and here are their top reasons that helped them know it was time to sleep train. I wonder which ones you relate to?GET MY FREE BABY SLEEP COURSE!!
Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses the following questions: I find snobbish behavior fascinating (sometimes irritating, sometimes amusing), but I don't really understand the evolutionary basis of it. What are the basic motivations behind and effects of snobbish behavior? Is it insecurity and an attempt to hijack unearned or unwarranted status, a combination of personality traits, or something else? My husband is 56 yrs old obese,smokes all day and eats the SAD diet and does not exercise. He just got a colonoscopy he has diverticulosis,internal hemorrhoids and 3 polyps removed.We are waiting on pathology report.His cholesterol is high and is pre diabetic.I have been trying to motivate him to make some changes to his diet or lifestyle but I have failed.Now he even gets irritated with me taking about it. I'm whole-foods, plant-based and exercise daily.I'm really getting frustrated.What should I do? I am pregnant and in my readings on parenting, I came across the hotly contested topic of infant sleep. In short, the sleep training camp believes that babies need to be taught how to sleep independently, and that the “cry it out” method does not cause any harm. Their rhetoric is heavy on the idea that babies are manipulating their parents and if the parent doesn't sleep train, then they are creating terrible habits and will be trapped by their child's sleep. The anti-sleep training camp believes that babies naturally want to be close to their caregiver (like other carrying mammals) and that the “cry it out” method is cruel and does not work. They believe that sleep training ruins the secure attachment that babies need, and that babies who have responsive parents will develop into more independent and secure children. I think the cry-it-out method is biologically inappropriate, but I also don't know if I believe that it has the capacity to cause long-term harm. I also think that disagreeable parents are more likely to sleep train. At the end of the day, it seems like it all comes down to personality, and the best my husband and I can do is hope that we get a baby as agreeable as the two of us. What are your thoughts on sleep from an evopsych perspective? Do you have any tips on how to pursue physical intimacy as a single, young woman if you are not finding a proper "pair bond" partner . Ive been single for about two years, so far haven't met anyone who would qualify as a proper boyfriend but have a strong craving for intimacy. I already follow your tip to delay sex to not get hurt but I still do not want to miss out on the cuddling, intimacy, attraction part. Do you have any tips on communication skills and how to spot qualities in a partner who might be able to provide that?
