161. Joe De Sena — The Spartan Mindset: Embracing Discomfort and Unleashing Mental Toughness The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

It’s no secret that human beings enjoy comfort. We enjoy snuggling up on the couch, having our meals delivered to our doorsteps, and sleeping in instead of waking up at the crack of dawn on a cold, rainy morning. 

But are we really supposed to be this comfortable? Wouldn’t making things harder and more challenging be a motivator for us to earn some of life’s most precious gifts?

That’s what Joe De Sena, Founder of the Spartan Race, is on a mission to prove. He believes that if we want to truly enjoy every single morsel of life, we have to work hard and persevere in uncomfortable situations to make that happen.

On this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Joe and Michael sit down to discuss:

How personal accountability plays a major role in your success

How to cultivate a mindset of resilience

Why doing hard things is the secret to happiness
