On today’s podcast, we have Joe De Sena.
Joe is the CEO and founder of Spartan Race. Spartan hosts over 400 races in 60 countries with over 1 million participants every year. He’s also a New York Times bestselling author of Spartan Up, Spartan Fit, and the Spartan Way. Joe grew up in Queens, New York, a working class kid in a mafia neighbourhood.
He had a successful career on Wall street as an equity derivatives trader before pivoting to compete in what would end up being hundreds of extreme adventure races in a single year. Joe competed in 50 ultramarathons and 14 Iron man events. Joe’s a tireless worker, a serial entrepreneur, and a legend in adventure racing.
In this episode, we’re going to discuss the value of doing hard things, the role significant emotional events have in our lives, and how we can better navigate adversity.
I hope you enjoy.
