0:00.0	Invest in People. I'm here with Joe DeSenna, founder of Spartan Race, Brian Chantosh, who is also on the Spartan Up
0:15.8	podcast with Spartan Stand. And in today's episode we're going to be talking about investing in people
0:22.4	versus just investing in things basically it's
0:25.6	scary to do that right it's very scary to do that we're going to share a story
0:29.4	about how some people do it in a positive manner and how some people take the unethical manner and
0:36.1	I'll be honest with you as a gym owner having multiple gyms there were times where without
0:41.9	realizing it I was selfishly trying to keep coaches to work part of the team when I should have just been building them up to move ahead.

1:44.9	but on the other end that head coach who was saying bad things about him took an
1:50.4	unethical route to help him win and you know the the lesson there is we can
1:56.5	win beyond points on the board we can win by helping other people win other people
2:02.3	on our team.
2:03.2	And sometimes that means they have to leave us to grow elsewhere
2:07.5	and we got to support that.
2:09.2	Was it his own insecurity, you think?
