Podcasts about Sleepy Time

It's tough to start talking from a place of nothingness, since that's what it feels like coming back from another hiatus. Maybe it's a mindset thing. But Mark Normand and AI really have inspired me to actually get back on the horse. I do find AI to be the most intersting thing at the moment, and has been for a bit. It's almost the greatest thing since the internet before it became an extention of the outragousness of IRL. And on the off-chance Mark actually see's this; I'm serious, this may help ya sleep. Maybe not this episode exactly, but it's been known to help. About Droolish: Droolish is a sleep and relaxation podcast, often best consumed to slaughter mind-chatter and curb your insomnia. Take a look at the episode list if you have a chance, if something sounds interesting or useful, listen to that first (IMO). My voice is yawn-inducing (apparently to some), so I decided to create a podcast dedicated to helping those with sleeping problems fall asleep. Subjects vary based on what's on my mind, but I hope to be engaging enough to keep initial interest while the background sounds and my voice assist you to sleep. *Note: I'm qualifying this as AMSR due to my goal of wanting to use sounds and my voice to help calm insomnia and to help you relax and go to sleep. * Comments, feedback, questions or biz inquries: Feel free to reach out via email (droolishpodcast@gmail.com).

Put simply: Bluey goes hard.It's 2025 and we're back, baby! We come out swinging for the fences as we discuss the wildly successful children's show “Bluey.” Also this episode we welcome our very first Uncultured guest and our friend, Matt Hobbs of Puppy Songs. The three-way chat cast a good spectrum of familiarity with Bluey, from the wholly initiated to the brand new.We watched seven key Bluey episodes that demonstrate the brilliance of the show in terms of concise storytelling and flawless cinematic execution. “Magic Xylophone”, “Camping”, “Dance Mode”, “Sleepytime”, “Grandad”, “Rain”, and “Space.” Each episode has their own lesson and iconic moment that accurately encapsulates what Bluey is all about: radical empathy and earnest authenticity coupled with learning through play makes for lasting, pure television magic.Buckle up for next month when we come at you with our most batshit insane films: “The Handmaiden” picked by Joe, and “Pee-Wee's Big Adventure” picked by Justin.--We are Uncultured Universe - the podcast where we introduce movies, tv, music, and books to each other to get a little bit more cultured.

Today With Robert Ikhtiari Welcome to Window Treatments for Profit. Our guest today is Robert Ikhtiari, the ingenious mind behind the revolutionary SleepyTime Tracks product line. An industry veteran with over 30 years of hands-on experience, Robert has channeled his expertise into developing a simple yet effective solution for eliminating pesky light gaps around window shades. SleepyTime Tracks provide customizable light-blocking accents that seamlessly integrate with diverse window treatments and aesthetics. In our conversation, Robert offers invaluable insights honed from bringing his innovative creation to market. From the product development journey to managing customer expectations around design desires and functionality needs, he sheds light on the nuances of delivering superior window treatment solutions. With a new patented design on the horizon, Robert exemplifies a commitment to continuous innovation that keeps businesses ahead of the curve. More About Robert Ikhtiari I'm Robert Ikhtiari, a true Chicagoan through and through. Born and raised in the heart of Illinois, I've spent all of my 65 years close to home. My journey into the world of window treatments began in my thirties when I landed a job at a Home Improvement and Decorating Center. It was there that I first encountered window treatments, an interest that would stick with me throughout my entire career. Over the years, I've worn many hats in the industry – from selling and installing to repairing and eventually venturing into entrepreneurship with my own window treatment business. But the real highlight of my career came when my wife and I developed Sleepy Time Tracks, a revolutionary solution designed to block out pesky light that sneaks in along the sides of window treatments. Our dedication to providing top-notch products doesn't stop there. We've expanded our offerings to include a range of other products that complement Sleepy Time Tracks, all with the goal of enhancing your sleep experience. For over six years now, we've been serving customers through our own website as well as popular online platforms like Amazon, Walmart, and Etsy. Along the way, we've encountered our fair share of copycats trying to imitate our success with inferior products. But what truly sets us apart isn't just our superior product – it's the integrity, care, and compassion we pour into everything we do. At the end of the day, our mission is simple yet profound: to ensure that everyone has access to a good, restful sleep. And knowing that we're contributing to that makes me incredibly proud. Thanks for joining us on this journey toward better sleep! Connect with Robert Ikhtiari Website TikTok A Big THANK YOU to Today's Podcast Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Exciting Windows!
