My interview with Jesse Itzler is absolutely awesome! This guy is a trip, he’s hysterical, he’s a business badass and he’s a warrior athlete. He was crazy enough to hire a navy seal and not just any navy seal, a complete and utter bad dude who you’ll learn more about in this interview we have together. If you haven’t read the book, “Living with a seal” you are going to be inspired to do that.

A little bit of a background on Jesse; he was a rapper in his early 20s. He’s well known for his popular New York Knicks anthem called “Go New York go New York go!” which I asked him about in the interview.  He co-founded Marquis Jet, the world’s largest prepaid private jet card company in 2001 which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway. He then helped pioneer the coconut water craze with ZICO coconut water which he and his partner sold to the Coca Cola company in 2013. Nowadays you can find Jesse at NBA’s Atlanta Hawks games where he is the owner, and you will hear more about in our interview.  Jesse married the founder of the company called Spanx which all women know about, Sara Blakely. You’re going to be in for a treat while listening to this interview. I was in heaven interviewing this guy! Enjoy!
