I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow mob. My guest today is the founder and CEO of Spartan Race.

Joe Disana has been an entrepreneur since his pre-teens. From selling... through this

and has been an entrepreneur since his pre-teens.

From selling fireworks at the age of eight

to starting a t-shirt business in high school,

to building a multi-million dollar garden and pool business in college, to creating a Wall Street

trading firm, Joe truly is a living definition of the absolute entrepreneur.

He is also a New York Times best selling author

of Spartan Race, a take no prisoner's guide to overcoming obstacles and achieving peak performance in life,

and Spartan fit 30 days, transform your mind,

transform your body, commit to grit.

He is also the host of the Spartan Up podcast,

which I'm honored to be a guest on as well. So go listen to our

conversation there too. I'll tell you very openly I'm nowhere near as fit as Joe will expect me to be today. So I'm

guessing he's probably going to corner me somewhere to try and embarrass me

in front of all of you and commit me to one of those crazy Spartan races.

If he does, I count on you to help me out, start a petition or something, but make sure that I don't go as far as to run that far.

So Joe, we don't really know each other. This is the first time we met. I'm actually, I dream of being on one of your races, but I don't think I can be. I'm sure you're going to say that I'm wrong in assuming that

But it's really interesting that we start this conversation because I feel we're very very similar
