244: Spartan Interviews Shaun T about Health, Insanity and Much More!

World famous for his physique and his “Insanity” workouts, Shaun T has graduated from teaching healthy body to teaching healthy MENTALITY. His superpower is getting uncomfortable - the more uncomfortable he is, the more he is learning and growing. Shaun T tells Spartan founder Joe De Sena how he has spent his life confronting issues and resolving them with “truth, trust and transparency” and moving forward with “passion, power & persistence.” True strength is in vulnerability, honesty and letting your emotions come forth.

LESSONS: Fit doesn’t have a size it has a mentality When people deny the truth that’s when turmoil begins Life is a journey not a destination Accept who you are Visualize what you want You can’t control the future but you can control your experience Confront yourself first - honesty leads to betterment Let your emotions out - connect to the feeling Be in dialogue with your food The more you know the more you grow
