Joe De Sena | Everyday Warrior Podcast

This week, we welcome Joe De Sena, Spartan's founder, and CEO, the world’s leading endurance sports brand.

Growing up in working-class Queens, De Sena has demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit since his preteens. He built a multimillion-dollar pool cleaning business before moving to Wall Street, where he started his own trading firm. In 2001, De Sena fled Wall Street for Riverside Farm in rural Vermont. During this time, he discovered his passion for adventure races and endurance events, and Spartan was born.

De Sena has built Spartan into a global fitness and wellness brand with a 10 million+ community of athletes across the globe. Under his leadership, Spartan’s portfolio of brands has grown to include Spartan Trail, DEKA, La Ruta, Tough Mudder, and HIGHLANDER.
