Description

Joe De Sena is the founder and CEO of Spartan Race, Inc. De Sena has been an entrepreneur since his pre-teens. From selling fireworks at age 8, to starting a t-shirt business in high school, to building a multimillion-dollar pool business in college, to creating a Wall Street trading firm, De Sena is a living definition of "entrepreneur." De Sena is the New York Times bestselling author of SPARTAN UP! A Take-No-Prisoners 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.I didn't intend for this to be a debate about the beliefs of "Slo Mo vs. Fast Joe", but the conversation began with seemingly fundamental differences; however, it quickly became apparent that we're talking about achieving the same result - a clear, present, and peaceful mind. Joe's focus on achieving this through the body will be fascinating - and motivating - for anyone wondering if they should invest time in their physical health. And for those that do, listen for the benefits you may not have even thought about.Listen as we discuss:Slo Mo and Fast Joe - different, but same?Toughening up and the Spartan lifestyleOur lives are relatively not that hardThe body is like a swimming pool that needs clean filters and working pumpsHow life experience prepares you for the worst, as it did for JoeWhy being able to work hard is a privilegeWhy do people quit?Fire, Ready, AimHow do you get of your own mind?The Spartan Lifeline, an amazing practice for cultivating gratitudeHow can non-athletes prepare for a Spartan Race?Joe's advice: Run 1 mile a day,  do 30 burpees and 30 pullupsHow the food industry is rigged for sales, not for healthThe power of fasting and practicing povertyJoe's upbringing in an organized crime neighborhoodMy newfound motivation to beat Joe in a race, eventually!Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Joe de Sena on Instagram @realjoedesena, Facebook @realjoedesena, on Twitter @realjoedesena, and on her website, joedesena.comDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Sunday and Thursday.
