Speaker 1 (00:00):
You got to make the decision whether you want to
be a badass or whether you just want to be mediocre.
And everything's okay, but being a badass hurts real bad.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Life isn't fair at.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
All at all, So what are you gonna do about it?
It shouldn't be fair. It's a tryout grounds, a testing ground.
It's built to make us harder. It's sill to make
us as strong as we can, to test us, to
drive us. So mentality is the.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Only thing that gets us through life.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I was an underdog. I knew that no one was
coming back to help me. No one's gonna miracle me
to be somebody special. Everybody that called me my dad,
my mom, all my situations were all me. Now it's
solely on me. So I had to start developing an
indestructible mental toolbox, the.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Most powerful weapon in the world. We walk around with
it so mine. You have to believe that you are
here for a reason, that for.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Some reason, me getting beat up, me getting torture, me
being boying, me being more, no foundation, me having to
figure all this shit out on my own, figuring out
this indestructible mental toolbox. Had it be for a reason,
And My reason, I believe now I know for a fact,
was to unlock the code of human potential potentially and
(01:28):
for me to share that with people. I'm amazed at
what a human being can actually do. I literally made
this human being out of this like a whole bunch
of scraps, and I started putting.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
This scrap metal together.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And after a while, I started running more and more
and more through pain and suffer through all the failure
I went through trying to build this person who's goggadized.
The one thing that made me who I am today
is being vulnerable, is breaking myself down to the absolute
rock bottom and being able to tell people who I am.
And that's how I fixed it. Literally looks somebody in
(02:05):
their eyes saying, know what, man, I have a whole
bunch of character problems, character flaws. I've lied about this,
I've sheeted here. I'm insecure here. This isn't the real
me I lied to you about that. I wanted your
acceptance in life. Life created this person me. Life created
me to be this person that was back in the day,
(02:27):
and I had to realize, Man, that's okay, man, it's
not my fault. Now you're gonna go back and fix
this shit though, So a lot of this isn't your fault.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Why you do some things you do, why you feel.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
The way you feel, But no one's coming back to
save your ass. You have to go back to where
it started, wherever that place is for everybody, and had
the courage to go back there and start fixing what
broke you.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
One thing I'm most scared of in the world is
losing touch with The best thing in the world is
your mind. Your mindset, how you can picture yourself, how
you can focus, how you can drive, how you can
put yourself in. So many situations get out of it
because those headphones who listen to those phones that we
google to find information to so many situations in my
life where that's it's not going to help me. It's
(03:11):
not gonna help me because I know what has helped me.
None of that stuff has ever helped me. None of
that stuffs ever help me. When it has helped me
has been me alone, getting my together and being accountable
for who I'm not and who I want to be.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Something has helped me. We all live in this world
where our brains are keeping us in this box.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Outside that box, on the other edge, of suffering. Is
a world that's endless of opportunity. But we are afraid
to go outside that box because in that box it's comfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's where all of our nice stuff. You know, that's
where the nice four lane highways at. I know where
the restrooms are at. I know where the gas stations
are at.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Outside that box, man, God gives you a shovel and says, man,
start digging. That's not fun, but you dig, dig your
own path to all kinds of stuff that's unknown.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And that's why I started realizing, man, like, on the
other end of this, it's some beautiful stuff. So I
got outside my box.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
He goes, Man, three hundred pounds now looking at me,
I'm hurting eighty five pounds.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And on the other side of the box was all
this stuff, and I know it was over there, So
I climbed the wall and saw.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I really started to enjoy the fact of seeing what
the human mind was capable of and seeing that what
is so horrendous. There's so much joy and glory in
this taking souls. It's about finding energy and strength when
you have none. There's energy all around us, but we
think that we have to have it has to come externally.
(04:38):
A lot of times we had like a TV in
front of us, Watch somebody, listen to a podcast, listen
to a great music. A lot of times in life
is quiet, and those are the times when you want
to run and hide.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You got to be able to find energy. You got
to make up.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Games, makeup tricks, make up whatever you can to get
to the next evolution of life.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
When you're running, you run for hours days. It's the
thing that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Makes me so pissed off in this world, man, is
that so many people die with untapped potential because they
think that someone else is better than them and.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
They were born you know, not with the greatest tools.
You don't need it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You need the ability to grind your ass into the
fine powder.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And when you need to fine powder and find.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
A way to build that mother or back up repeatedly.
You have to always be willing to work. And a
lot of people now are talking. I hear so much talk.
I don't hear a lot of work. I hear a
lot of people telling you what you should be doing,
how you should be doing it, how you should be living.
And I look at him, and you're fat, you're out
of shape, you look like but you're telling them mother how.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
To live.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
The woe is me mentality. It's too hard. Life isn't fair.
These things in life are not easy for me. You
look to your left and you look to your right,
and you start to judge yourself off other people. Everything
starts to corrupt your mind. You start to look around
too much at other people and what they're doing, and
that starts to corrupt your own dialogue.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
We are judging ourselves against too many people. You have
to judge yourself against yourself.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
This is a race against David Goggins and David Goggins alone.
And once you can silence all that bullsh all the
outside interference and things that are attracting your mind to everything,
you can then start to grow. We want to skip
forward to peace. Let's skip all this pain and suffering
and misery of real life. Let's cover it over a
nice big blanket and let's find peace. No, sorry, it's
(06:44):
not possible. Go into that hellhole of life that you have,
that you up and fix it. And that's what I'm
here to do. You must go to war yourself before
you find peace. I'm trying to give you tools on
how to do that, and I'm not considering a smile
and be happy about it.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's a hard journey. It's a real journey.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's a journey that's gonna take you way outside of
being comfortable.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You'd be very, very uncomfortable. I'm not a theorist. People.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
There's a bunch of people who are theorists who go
to the library study the mind.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
They study it in a book. I studied it by
being a practitioner.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I put my mind in hell, and I realized how
I was thinking, and I figured out tools and tactics
on how to get through it by being in it,
not by studying it. By being in it, I did
sixty seven thousand pull ups in nine months, and it
countlessed my hands.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It counts my hands real good. To protect my hands
against the bar.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I started learning how to countless my mind to couous
over my victim's mentality.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
And that's what I did. And so they sent me
to John Hopkins. Everybody studied my body.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
They studied everything, and one guy says, you know what,
we can't find.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Anything on how you did all this? How are you
able to do all this?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
A headed guy came in from MIT and he said,
you know how he did it. So. Mentality is the
only thing that gets us through life and that can't
hurt mer. Mentality is a matter where you come from
the sewer or wherever you think you're from. When I
got out of the sewer, I got to the road
and looked around and said, can't hurt me. Nothing should
(08:18):
be able to hurt you. If you believe that, it
starts to become true. I wanted to live my life
in a way that when I died, I was proud
of myself. I know what pride felt like, and if
it took pushing myself to death, I was willing to
do that.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
If I want to look in that mirror, not impress anybody,
not money, not fame, not nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I wanted to impress the guy in the dagone mirror.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And I worked endlessly and tirelessly to do.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
That, and it happened. I actually sat back when I
was fat, nasty, out of shape, miserable, and created a
human being in my mind that didn't even exist, and said.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That's what I want to be. I want to be
that guy.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I want to be a guy that's capable of doing
exactly what I'm doing today.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
If you weren't born that guy, that mentally strong guy.
He can be made. But in making that person.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You have to be who you are every day of
your life and never care about anybody who gets in
your way. That said you're not doing something the proper way.
When you get be as bad as I did. I
lied all the time. I wanted to be accepted and
loved and all that that I created about fifty people.
(09:37):
Whatever you like, I like, just be my friend. And
that's where we get lost in life. You start to
create a whole bunch of people that aren't even yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You never figure out who you are. You never live
up to your dreams, your ambition. You live up to
what whoever is.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Around you that you like so much that you want
to emulate and be like so much much. You live
their dreams. You lose your power. You lose your power.
The often have powers owning yourself m
You got to make the decision whether you want to
be a badass or whether you just want to be mediocre.
And everything's okay, but being a badass hurts real bad.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Life isn't fair at.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
