Dean Karnazes - Front Row Factor

What if you could do more and be more in life than you ever thought was humanly possible? What would you achieve if you could unlock your true human potential?

Today, I’m talking with my hero and inspiration for starting the Front Row Factor, Dean Karnazes. Recognized by Men’s Fitness as one of the fittest men on the planet, Dean has accomplished more in the running world, and in life, than most of us could even conceive as possible. He’s run in the coldest and hottest temperatures in the world. He’s run 350 continuous miles without sleeping for three nights. He’s completed 50 consecutive marathons in all 50 states – and these are only a few of his incredible accomplishments.

Dean is also a best-selling author, speaker, an entrepreneur. This is one episode you won’t want to miss. According to Dean, “You really can sustain yourself in doing what you love long-term”.
