The Sleep Product That Changes Everything w/ Dave Gatto | Kreatures of Habit

In this episode of the Kreatures of Habit Podcast, Michael Chernow sits down with Dave Gatto, CMO of Oslo, to explore the future of sleep, recovery, and premium product innovation. After working with iconic brands like Red Bull, Lululemon, and Oura, Dave shares why he chose to focus on one of the most overlooked pillars of performance—sleep.

They break down the problem most people ignore: noise as a major disruptor of deep, restorative rest—and how Oslo Sleepbuds were designed specifically to solve it. Built from Bose technology, these ultra-comfortable earbuds are engineered for sleep, featuring long battery life, seamless audio transitions, and smart features like in-ear alarms and automatic sound switching.

Beyond the product, the conversation dives into what it really takes to build a premium brand today—from word-of-mouth growth and product seeding to cultural timing and community-driven marketing. Dave also shares practical tools for better sleep, including the “10-3-2-1-0” framework, and how optimizing recovery can elevate every area of your life.

This episode is a powerful blend of performance, innovation, and lifestyle design—perfect for anyone looking to sleep better, recover faster, and build at a higher level.
