Hi everybody, I'm Nikola Tanyan, the CEO of the Norwegian Sober Wealth Fund, and you are listening to In Good Company. Now, when you spend as much time as I do sitting across from chief executives, world jamps. And some of the sharpest investors on all planet, you start to notice something. These people work incredibly hard. But almost all of them also quietly

Are obsessive about how they look out for themselves. So somewhere in most of these conversations I cannot help asking. When do you get up? Do you exercise? How do you sleep?

And how on earth do you switch off? In this special episode, we have gathered some of the most fascinating of those answers the exercise, the sleep, the cold water, the naps, the food. And the little rituals that keep our guests fit. Sharp and able to perform at the very top. None of them are doctors, so think of this as what works for them, not a prescription. But there is a surprising amount of wisdom packed into the next few minutes, and one or two habits I've happily stolen myself. And right at the very end I'll tell you what I do. Let's get into it.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.
