Spartan Up! Podcast + Giveaway {closed}

I’ve never run an obstacle course race, but I’m intrigued by them. Sometimes I’ll read a recap of an OCR and think, “Wow, that sounds like fun!” But then I’ll look at the photos and all I can think is, “Huh. That’s a lot of mud.” I’m not really a fan of getting dirty, but I like the idea of pushing my physical limits. Who knows – maybe someday I’ll take the plunge.

Anyway, when it comes to obstacle course races, the Spartan obstacle race series is in a class of its own. If you’re not familiar with Spartan races, check out this short video:

Spartan Up! Podcast Series

Last month, Spartan launched a podcast series starring Joe De Sena, founder and CEO of Spartan Race.

With camera in tow, Joe travels the globe to explore what it means to Spartan Up! in all aspects of life in the new Spartan Up! Podcast series… In each episode, Joe interviews different experts – authors, academics, athletes, adventurers, CEOs, and thought leaders – about achievement, leadership, grit, goals, and total mind-body wellbeing. Then, with a panel of colleagues, Joe breaks down the lessons to provide the ultimate blueprint for success.

Series guests include:

• Former member of Seal Team Six
• Olympic wrestling coach
• Ultra marathoner (who carries a fridge on his back)
• CEO of Virgin Group
• Visually impaired wrestler
• Emeritus US Army General
• Founder of Seal Fit

Joe is dynamic and engaging, and he has lots of fun with his guests. And you can enjoy it two ways – listen to the audio file, or follow Joe on the accompanying YouTube videos. The Spartan Up! Podcast is available on iTunes and at www.spartanuppodcast.com.
