Summary

A day with Joe De Sena, founder of Spartan Race, is likely to include some physical challenges. When Nick Morris, co-founder of Health Warrior visited Joe that meant a few grueling trips up and down the mountain with a 100lb chain and a companion log. In this episode the two talk a little about how the culture of Wall Street is starting to shift toward better health, and then dig deep into the best tactics to get through tough physical challenges, and their thoughts on building strong resilient athletes.
