Joe De Sena is one of my true heroes. I've been doing obstacle course races for years now and I love the Spartan brand.Unlike in other industries, where a business is selling solutions to make life easier or more fun. Joe built his business around doing the opposite -- trying to get people to do HARD, uncomfortable things. Starting out, most people thought he was crazy to try to do such a thing. But today over 100 million people around the world have participated in a Spartan Race. It was a dream and an honor to have Joe on the Liberty Ventures podcast. I invite you to listen to this one all the way through for his very unique approach to life and business.
