Listen "December 15, 2025 – Pillow Cube Jay Davis and Top 0.1% Bryant McGill"
Episode Synopsis
Jay Davis – Founder & CEO Pillow Cube
When I first had this idea, people were like, you know, no one, most people
don’t make pillows that way because it’s really expensive to make pillows
that way. It’s a lot cheaper if you just fill a bag with crap. But I knew that this
provided the experience that personally I loved and really changed the way
I slept. And that quality sleep is so important to feel happy and kind of be
our best selves.
Jay Davis is the founder and chief executive officer of Pillow Cube, a sleep products company he launched in 2019 to solve his own problem of finding proper neck support as a side sleeper. After earning a degree in business management with an emphasis in entrepreneurship from Brigham Young University, Davis built his career in product development, marketing, and startup growth, including key roles at Vivint and as an early team member of The Color Run before founding his creative agency, Creatably. Driven by innovation and a deep understanding of consumer needs, he brought Pillow Cube to life through a successful Kickstarter campaign and has since grown the brand into a leading pillow company designed specifically for side sleepers, expanding its offerings and earning strategic investment along the way. Outside of Pillow Cube Davis is also an investor and entrepreneur with interests in other ventures, and he balances his professional life with family, including his wife and children.
Bryant McGill – Founder of Peace Prize Foundation & a Best-Selling Author, Speaker, Activist and Social Entrepreneur
If you’re really humble, you’re going to be great. Okay, if you’re truly
humble, you’ll be great. You know why? Because it is supremely arrogant
to throw away the gift of life. There’s nothing humble about throwing
away the gift of life and all you could be.
Bryant McGill is a human potential thought leader, international bestselling author, activist, and social entrepreneur. He is one of the world’s top social media influencers reaching a billion people a year (2016). His prolific writings have been published in thousands of books and publications, including a New York Times bestselling series, and his Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller, read by over 60 million people. He was the subject of a front-page cover story in the Wall Street Journal, has appeared in Forbes as a featured cultural thought leader, Nasdaq’s leadership series, Entrepreneur Magazine, and was listed in Inc. Magazine as an “Icon of Entrepreneurship” and one of, “the greatest leaders, writers and thinkers of all time.” He is the creator and founder of McGill Media, the McGill Peace Prize Foundation and Charitable Trust, The Royal Society (2015), and Simple Reminders. He is living his dream daily, serving those seeking inspiration, health, freedom, and truth around the world. McGill is a United Nations appointed Global Champion and a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, who received a Congressional commendation applauding his, “highly commendable life’s work,” as an Ambassador of Goodwill. His thoughts on human rights have been featured by President Clinton’s Foundation, in humanities programs with the Dalai Lama, and at the Whitehouse. He has appeared in media with Tony Robbins and Oprah, in a Desmond Tutu endorsed PBS Special with Jack Canfield, and has delivered speeches at the United Nations’ General Assembly Hall on Human Rights Day, with the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office, and with Dr. Gandhi, Grandson of Mahatma Gandhi. McGill’s work has been endorsed by the president of the American Psychological Association, and has appeared in Psychology Today, and in meditation programs by Deepak Chopra. His writings have been published by Oprah’s Lifeclass, Simon & Schuster, Random House, HarperCollins, Wiley, McGraw Hill, and Writer’s Digest. His writings are regularly used in the curriculum at the university level, have been reviewed and published by the dean of NYU, and at Dartmouth, Stanford, and Yale, and were implemented into a campus installation at Bangkok University. McGill is on a quest to prove that life is still beautiful, and that all people have the power to have a better life and world – NOW.
