Kyle Hunt / May 5, 2021

Joe De Sena Founder and CEO of Spartan Race

In this episode, I sit down with Joe De Sena. Joe is the founder and CEO of Spartan Race.

After building a multimillion-dollar pool and construction business in college, and creating a Wall Street trading firm, De Sena set his sights on ripping 100 million people off their couches by creating the Spartan lifestyle.

Following a successful career on Wall Street, De Sena moved his family to Pittsfield, Vermont to operate an organic farm, a bed and breakfast, and a general store for hikers. It was here his passion grew for ultramarathons, adventure races, and endurance events, and thus the idea for Spartan was born.

Sit back relax, and enjoy!
