Summary

My guest this week is Jesse Itzler--an entrepreneur, author, and former rapper as well as the co-founder of Marquis Jet, one of the largest private jet card companies in the world, a partner in Zico Coconut Water, the founder of The 100 Mile Group and an owner of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks. He and his wife Sara Blakely have four children. And yes it is surprising that even Jesse Itzler has wi-fi issues. Meeting Jesse was a funny experience. He was walking a little slow and explained he had just run 40 miles the day before and was feeling a little sore. 40 Miles!?!?! What?? I feel proud of myself after I do a spin class. Clearly, I was going to need to up my game. The one word that comes to mind when I think about Jesse is EXTREME. He goes after it and by it I mean whatever it is he decides he wants. That is how he became a rapper and how he built so many successful companies. When he decided he was in a funk and his routine wasn’t working for him, he invited a navy seal to move in with him and his family for 30 days and then he wrote a best-selling book about the surreal experience. Jesse Itzler is a one of a kind. He is also incredibly kind and taught me a lot during this episode. Not only do you get to learn from one of the most successful men I have ever met but I also make a big announcement on the podcast today and I am so excited to share it with you!
