In this episode I sit down with Joe De Sena, founder of Spartan Races, where he shares his journey from growing up with mob to building a $500M brand off of races.
Joe shares ALL his advice on how to grow a half a BILLION dollar brand, develop mental toughness, and still raise kids that don't hate you.
By far one of the best conversations I've had, so for all you young entrepreneurs, make sure to listen all the way to the end.
