Joe Holder talks with Jesse Itzler, The author of the New York Times bestseller, Living with a Seal, cofounded Marquis Jet, the world's largest private jet card company which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets. Jesse then partnered with Zico coconut water, which he and his partner sold to The Coca-Cola Company.
I personally meet Jesse in 2014 during my time at Health Warrior where he was an investor in the company. We crossed path at his event "Hell on the Hill", a grueling endurance event where he challenges the participants to complete 100 hills that are 55 yards in length and at over a 30% incline. Grueling!
So in 2019 at the same event I interviewed Jesse to pick his mind a bit for GQ. The condensed version of our interview can be found in the video. The GQ article, as well as the key points with what we talked about, can be seen below!
