TODAY’S GUEST

We’ve had a ton of amazing guests on the Dream Big Podcast.   So when we started to talk about inviting a previous guest back on – there was no shortage of choices.   But there was one guest that came immediately to Eva’s mind when we asked her who she wanted to talk to again… JOE DE SENA.  

Joe was on Episode 27 of the podcast.   We encourage you to go back and listen to that episode where Eva really goes through Joe’s lifelong journey as entrepreneur — , from selling fireworks at age eight, to starting a t-shirt business in high school, to his latest venture and passion for obstacle racing.   Joe is the founder of Spartan, a brand that he and his team have grown to become the world’s leading obstacle racing company with over 170 events in 25+ countries and 1 million-plus global participants.

As you’ll learn in the episode, Joe was responsible for introducing us to many of our future guests and invited our family up to Lake Tahoe for the Spartan World Championship last year.  We wanted to invite him back on to say thank you, and to see what he’s been up in the last year. What’s exciting is that he was at home with his family, and as you’ll see we ended up having 4 of De Senas on the show!  This is a family-friendly podcast but this brings a whole new meaning to family friendly. We hope you enjoy this fun episode!

RESOURCES

DREAM BIG ACADEMY – WAITING LIST

We are hard at work at the Dream Big Academy — a course that Eva is creating with her parents (Alex and Olga) to teach kids about success principles (e.g. self-belief, positive attitude, gratitude, etc).   We feel that these concepts are not adequately taught at schools, that all the materials created by top “gurus” are made by adults for adults, and that it is never too early to start learning these concepts.   If you would like to be the first to know when the Academy is ready, then please sign up now at DreamBigPodcast.com/waitlist.  We may open up a few more spots to our Beta group (which is currently full but can be expanded if we need additional feedback).   We will reach out to the waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis if any spots open up, so join the list today at DreamBigPodcast.com/waitlist
