Kevin Hillman, 34

Kevin Hillman’s company Restflix launched in July, and it’s already gaining traction with more and more sleep-challenged people.

Hillman is CEO of Lakewood Ranch-based streaming service Restflix, which offers relaxing, sleep-inducing video content through an app and on Google Play, Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV. Users watch calming visuals of subjects such as the ocean or rain set to music, and little ones use the service for bedtime stories to help them drift off to sleep.

Since launching the service, the three-person Restflix team has been hard at work growing the user base. “I set expectations and let the team actually do their job,” says Hillman. “That kind of leadership style worked for me significantly. It really empowers people to take ownership of what they’re doing. It lets them become their own boss and take pride in their work.”
