The Guest Show | Joe De Sena of the Spartan Race Doing bold things during hard times Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

While most businesses are sheltering in place hoping to survive the Coronavirus pandemic, Joe DeSena, the owner of Spartan Race is gearing up to give away 100,000,000 entries for obstacle courses around the world. Yes you read that correctly, one-hundred million.

Contrary to what you may think, this bold-move is not chump change to Joe or the Spartan business, but he is so passionate about getting people off the couch that to him this isn’t just a statement, it's necessary.

In this episode of The Guest Show, you get a true glimpse of how Joe is dealing with the global shutdown of Spartan Races in real-time and the mindset he is using to get through the day-to-day. He also tells us what led to his decision to give away 100 million Spartan Race entries and how he hopes to impact the future of small gyms around the world.

021 | Beliefs - The Business Building Hierarchy, Pt. 1 Apr 13, 2020

Show notes

What kind of business do you want to be?

Now ask yourself, does that align with the kind of business that you are running?

We see many gyms making the mistake of falling prey to the latest social media tactic before they even know the purpose of their message. If you’ve never sat down and figured out what problem you solve as a business and why you are unique in solving it, then your vision is muddy.

In this episode, Dr. Sean walks you through an exercise he personally uses to audit himself and the business regularly. We give you the 3 questions you need to answer in order to create a clear message and differentiate yourself from the gym down the street. If you find that you are still chasing the top of the pyramid to increase your revenue and you're tired of utilizing “next hottest trend” then we urge you to revisit your business foundation.
