Joe DeSena interviews Charlie Rocket at the Fenway Park Spartan Race. "CEO Charlie" was successful in business, he managed the artist 2 Chainz to a Grammy! But he found himself overweight and seriously ill with a brain tumor, none of that so-called success mattered anymore. Charlie made a massive pivot from "CEO Charlie" to "Charlie Rocket!" In an honest, human and incredibly energetic and optimistic way Charlie Rocket is sharing his journey. Everyone told him it was impossible, but he's now a Nike sponsored Athlete. Charlie Rocket is unstoppable, or as he says "I'm on a WINNING STREEAAAK!!" We recorded this interview in November, and Charlie's been killing it since then!

LESSONS Call yourself the person you want to become Believe it's going to be easy, even through the hard parts Train like an 8-year old (full of fun!!) Even water, if it's still too long, begins to stink! Walk your walk
