In this episode, Jack talks with mega-entrepreneur Jesse Itzler who has a list of accomplishments a mile long: He invented the sports music industry, wrote and sang the New York Knicks theme song, “Go New York, Go.” He co-founded the private jet card company Marquis Jet, which was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway. He engineered the coconut water craze by partnering with Zico, which they then sold to Coca-Cola. Along with his wife, Spanx founder Sara Blakely Jesse is an owner of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks.
If that’s not enough Jesse is also the author of the best-selling book, “Living With a Seal: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet“, which chronicles 31 days of extreme fitness training when he hired a Navy Seal to live with him and his family.
