Entrepreneurs face hardships, whether that's thinking up great business ideas, seeking investors or growing your company. We all also hit walls sometimes and just want to give in.

He eventually became a professional wrestler in the WWE, performing leg drops and suplexes on his two-legged opponents. Here, he takes on the qualifying stage of American Ninja Warrior, a grueling obstacle course that requires speed, agility and strength.
