GRIT : You need this more than anything else

Every one has a HERO. For me it was Elon for a long time till the time I met Jesse on MFM pod. He is truly a man who has lived many lives as a founder and a complete family man..

If you dont know Jesse, here is the summary from wiki

Jesse Itzler (born August 22, 1968) is an American entrepreneur, author, and rapper.[3] He is the co-founder of Marquis Jet, one of the largest private jet card companies in the world, a partner in Zico Coconut Water, the founder of The 100 Mile Group and one of the owners of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks.

He is super fit, not a Gym bro but an Ultrarunner and an avid fitness freak.

His new company 29029 Everesting, is a 36 hours run where participants go up and down, and in the process cover the height of Mt Everest…

Its a journey, extremely excruciating physical and mental journey where journey is the reward.
