Summary

In this episode of Three of Seven Podcast we speak to Jesse Itzler about his lessons learned while running the Hennepin 100 mile foot race and how those lessons can be applied to life and business.   Why do you run Ultra? What were the highs and lows of the Hennepin 100 mile race? How are lessons learned during a ultramarathon applicable to life and business? What is your optimal diet? What mindset techniques does Jesse use to accomplish seemingly insurmountable tasks? What is next for Jesse? What is Camp BYLR? Jesse answers these questions and many more on this action packed episode!   "JESSE ITZLER only eats fruit 'til noon, loves Run-D.M.C., and enjoys living life "out of the box." In fact, he doesn't even have a box. The author of the New York Times bestseller, Living with a Seal, cofounded Marquis Jet, the world's largest private jet card company which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets. Jesse then partnered with Zico coconut water, which he and his partner sold to The Coca-Cola Company. He's a former rapper on MTV and wrote and performed the NBA's Emmy Award-winning "I Love This Game" music campaign and the popular New York Knicks anthem "Go NY Go." When he's not running ultra-marathons, eating vegan food or being a dad to his four kids, Jesse can be found at the NBA's Atlanta Hawks games, where he's an owner of the team. He is married to Spanx founder Sara Blakely."   Follow Jesse on Instagram @jesseitzler Learn more about Jesse's mission and Camp BYLR at www.jesseitzler.com
