Learn How to develop resilience with Joe De Sena. In todays episode we hear from the Founder and CEO of Spartan races - Joe De Sena. Joe talks to us about resilience, developing grit and the magic in suffering. 

Joe is a New York Times best-selling author, father, husband and legend.

After building a multimillion-dollar pool and construction business in college, and creating a Wall Street trading firm, De Sena set his sights on ripping 100 million people off their couches by creating the Spartan lifestyle.

Throughout his lifetime, Joe has competed in any extreme sports adventure he could find, testing his mental and physical endurance against nature. Joe turned an interest in endurance racing into a passion. His racing resume is the stuff of legend – over 50 ultra-events overall and 14 Ironman events in one year alone.
