Mom would send them off to Kindergarten with a uniquely motivating message: Kick Today’s A**! The DeCCio brothers, Jake, Jim, and Jordan credit her two-part strategy - hard-driving competition and a priority on being nice - with the incredible success they are seeing today with the business they started in their dorm room.As you might guess they are also focused on health. Maybe you saw them pitch Supercoffee, a healthier alternative to many of the sugary options out there, on Shark Tank. Joe De Sena invited them to visit his Vermont farm (the birthplace of the Spartan Races,) run up his mountain, and be on the podcast. What did he want to know? How were the three men raised, and how they run their days today to maintain that level of success and fitness?     Today’s question - did your parents throw you out the door every morning? How were you raised?   LESSONS  You’re never too young to Kick Today’s A** Win & Be Nice   Eat less sugar!  Don’t be afraid to compete  Kids can handle more than you think  Make the leap!  This episode of Spartan Up! is brought to you by Gone Rogue High Protein Chips.

How much trash do you create? Professor Joshua Spodek tells Joe De Sena he had been eating packaged food with every meal of his life. One day he decided to take responsibility for his own mess. With every meal, everything we buy from stores, everything we order- we throw something away, and every item of waste you have ever “gotten rid of” still exists in some form, somewhere. Spodek calls Joe De Sena out on his own consumption - and Joe responds. Spodek, a leadership professor at NYU, has embarked on a journey to lighten his impact on the planet by creating as minimal garbage as possible. It has meant, among other things, that at the supermarket he is buying whole fruits and vegetables because everything else has packaging. The added benefit - a more healthy diet. Take responsibility for how you are participating and contributing. Are you a steward of the land and of your community? Can you implement simple tactics to improve your impact? Spartan’s, we all need to take ownership and initiative around our actions. What will you do today?!  LESSONS Be where you can effect the most change  Be a steward of the land  Be around a community that challenges you  Be resourceful and efficient to fulfill your needs  Be mindful of how much trash you create  Learn to reduce your impact on the earth  Purchase things without packaging  Adapt your tastebuds to what’s healthy and local  Be motivated by internal factors  Be an initiator  Be better & just do !   This episode of Spartan Up is brought to you by Wild Alaskan Company.

This episode is a great deep dive into what helps and hinders your metabolism, key tips and tricks for stabilizing your glucose response and understanding what it takes to train metabolic flexibility.
