Summary

In this episode, I interview entrepreneur and longtime endurance and adventure racer, Joe De Sena. As CEO and Founder of Spartan Race, Joe teaches us how to live an uncomfortable, yet highly beneficial lifestyle by pushing our limits with physical and mental strength. We can all learn from Joe's definition of success, and it's far from today's generic answers.

Some of the Questions I Ask:

How do you train your mind?
What does it mean to have "Fire in your belly"? How can you tell when someone has it?
How do you continue to move forward and stay hungry?
What is your definition of success?
What is your philosophy on time?
If you had to pick two beliefs to instil in your kids, what would they be? Why?
How critical is the environment, to you? How do you control yours?
