He Turns Quitters Into People Who Commit: Joe De Sena | Rich Roll Podcast

Thanks for watching! Read all about Joe here 👉🏾 https://bit.ly/richroll567 To enter 2021 correct, I sat down with Joe De Sena—one of the toughest people on the planet and the mastermind behind the Spartan obstacle course racing series that became a global phenomenon. This is a conversation about turning quitters into people who commit. It’s about why doing hard things makes you better, happier and healthier. And it’s about the potential we all possess to catalyze radical transformation. From the heart, Joe is bullshit-free and 100% authentic. His message is powerful. Entirely experience-based. And paired with practical tools fundamental to shattering stagnation. ✌🏼🌱 -Rich LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/rrpitunes Spotify: http://bit.ly/rrpspotify Google: http://bit.ly/rrpgooglepods Subscribe to Rich’s newsletter: http://bit.ly/rollcallemail CONNECT WITH RICH ✩ Website - http://richroll.com ✩ Rich Roll Podcast - http://bit.ly/richrollpod ✩ Instagram -   / richroll   ✩ Twitter -   / richroll   ✩ Facebook -   / richrollfans   ✩ Strava -   / strava   ✩ Memoir: Finding Ultra - http://bit.ly/rrfindingultrarev ✩ Meals - http://meals.richroll.com ✩ Cook - The Plantpower Way - http://bit.ly/rrppwbook ✩ Italian! - The Plantpower Way: Italia - http://bit.ly/rrppwitalia ✩ Support -   / richroll   FILMED AND EDITED BY BLAKE CURTIS https://www.blakecurtis.net/ * * * * NEW TO RICH?
