Q & A\u2019s with Marion from The Spartan Up Podcast<\/h2>\n
\n

When did you start podcasting?<\/h3>\n

Our first episode aired January 2015!<\/p>\n

Why did you start podcasting?<\/h3>\n

Our show host Joe De Sena was publishing his first book \u201cSpartan UP!\u201d and he was interviewed by several podcasts.<\/p>\n

As he traveled to promote the book people started to come up to him saying they recognized his voice from the interviews.\u00a0That\u2019s when we decided we needed to start our own show.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your show about?<\/h3>\n

Our show is hosted by Joe De Sena, he\u2019s the founder and CEO of Spartan Race and an accomplished Ultra and Endurance racer and businessman.<\/p>\n

Every week we publish a new interview with someone who is a high achiever in some area (entrepreneurs, adventurers, authors, artists, athletes, professors, chefs, moms & monks) and find out what attributes and practices got them there.<\/p>\n

We talk a lot about grit and resilience, but lots of other things too.\u00a0 At the end of each episode our panel of 4 co-hosts talk about the lessons we can take away from that guest.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your podcasting set-up? Hardware, software, CMS, etc.<\/h3>\n

We conduct all of our interviews in person, and all are videotaped for our YouTube channel too.<\/p>\n

So for the interviews we usually use a pair of Senheiser wireless lavalier mics, when we add a 3rd guest or have wireless interference we use a Senheiser shotgun mic..<\/p>\n

For the panel we have four Audio Technica mics on stands running into a Zoom recorder.<\/p>\n

How have you promoted your podcast?<\/h3>\n

We have dedicated Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> channels, and we sometimes make posts on the main Spartan Race Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Our host also writes articles based on the lessons he learns from interviews that are published in Inc, Entrepreneur, on our blog and our Medium magazine \u201cSpartan LIFE.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started?<\/h3>\n

My background was video production, so handling the production was not that hard.<\/p>\n

The hosts and I have all been learning the rest as we go and that\u2019s been a fun process.\u00a0So I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything I WISH I\u2019d known, but there was a lot we DIDN\u2019T know.<\/p>\n

\n

All you Spartan Race super fans, you know what you need to do! Subscribe!<\/a> This is the podcast that you\u2019ve been looking for!<\/em><\/p>\n

You you have a passion for grit and resilience or anything else for that matter, maybe it\u2019s time you started a podcast. We would love to be your podcast host<\/a>, and if you need the step by step on how to start a podcast<\/a>, every month we have a killer Podcasting QuickStart!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
