Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I didn't teach myself victory first. I taught myself how
- 0:04Speaker 1: to fail. When you're three.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Hundred pounds and you can't read and write and you're
- 0:07Speaker 2: fucked up, how many times you're gonna fucking fail on
- 0:10Speaker 2: that process?
- 0:11Speaker 1: So if you don't know how to fail, there is
- 0:13Speaker 1: no victory.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Most of this generation quits the second they get talked
- 0:19Speaker 2: to you did this wrong, you did this wrong, or
- 0:22Speaker 2: they get yoed at. It's so easy to be great
- 0:25Speaker 2: nowadays because everybody else is.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Most people are weak. This is a softened generation.
- 0:31Speaker 3: So if you have any mental toughness, any any ability, do.
- 0:35Speaker 2: You have any fraction of self discipline, the ability to
- 0:41Speaker 2: not want to do it but still do it. People
- 0:44Speaker 2: have a hard thing to understand. I hate to run
- 0:47Speaker 2: and it makes me so crazy. It doesn't need more people.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Well why do you run it?
- 0:52Speaker 1: You hate it? What are you talking about?
- 0:55Speaker 2: If you can get through to doing things that you
- 0:59Speaker 2: hate to do on the other side is greatness.
- 1:03Speaker 4: That's what people are saying. By me running, I am
- 1:06Speaker 4: callous in my mind. I'm not training for a race.
- 1:10Speaker 4: I'm training for life. I'm training my mind and my body,
- 1:14Speaker 4: my spirit. So it's all one. So I can handle
- 1:16Speaker 4: what life is gonna throw.
- 1:17Speaker 2: At me, because the life I've lived, it throws a
- 1:20Speaker 2: whole bunch at you. And if you're not physically immensely
- 1:24Speaker 2: prepared for that, you're just gonna crumble and you're good
- 1:27Speaker 2: for nobody. Tighten up, people, It's okay. What are you
- 1:31Speaker 2: going to do now? They don't own your life. All
- 1:34Speaker 2: these insecure people putting their insecurities on you, you gotta
- 1:36Speaker 2: flush it out.
- 1:38Speaker 1: You gotta just be whoever the hell God, or whatever the.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Hell you believe in. If you believe in nothing but yourself,
- 1:42Speaker 2: I don't care what it is. You got to take
- 1:44Speaker 2: everything and throw it away. You have to believe in
- 1:49Speaker 2: one thing, and that is yourself right now. For you
- 1:52Speaker 2: to find greatness in yourself, you're not gonna find it
- 1:56Speaker 2: by looking in a book or by even hearing me.
- 2:00Speaker 2: I may give you the spark, but you've got to.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Go inside yourself to find it.
- 2:05Speaker 2: And that means you gotta be quiet, Shut the fuck up,
- 2:08Speaker 2: go in a room, stop talking, search your soul, search
- 2:12Speaker 2: your mind, search your abilities, and you'll find it.
- 2:16Speaker 5: I'm just starting out in life. I don't know where
- 2:18Speaker 5: I'm going, what I'm doing. How are you twenty six
- 2:22Speaker 5: and you don't know where I'm going, what I'm doing,
- 2:26Speaker 5: and I'm not disciplined.
- 2:28Speaker 3: So how the fuck am I supposed to help you?
- 2:30Speaker 1: You're lazy, you know exactly what to do. It just
- 2:34Speaker 1: sucks doing it.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Everybody's looking for mental toughness, every athlete, everybody in the
- 2:38Speaker 2: world is looking for mental toughness. The only way you
- 2:41Speaker 2: gain mental toughness is to do things you're not happy doing.
- 2:45Speaker 1: If you continue doing things that you're.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Satisfied and to make you happy, you're not getting stronger,
- 2:50Speaker 3: You're staying where you're at.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Either you're getting better, you're getting worse, not staying the same.
- 2:54Speaker 1: So what are you doing today? Doing the same thing
- 2:56Speaker 1: I was doing last year and last month and last week.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I'm continue to look in the mirror, look at the reflection.
- 3:02Speaker 1: It's called the accountability mirror. What have I done today
- 3:05Speaker 1: to improve?
- 3:05Speaker 3: David Goggins The accountability mirror is something that I kind
- 3:09Speaker 3: of came up with in high school.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Like I said, I started shaving my head when I
- 3:13Speaker 1: was sixteen, and.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I got caught up in trying to impress so many
- 3:17Speaker 2: people because no one liked me. So I developed so
- 3:20Speaker 2: many different identities. When you look in the mirror, that's
- 3:23Speaker 2: the one person you can't lie to you. So every
- 3:24Speaker 2: morning I would save my head, thanking God. I would
- 3:26Speaker 2: reflect back on some of the lies I may have
- 3:29Speaker 2: told somebody, or some of the ways I acted that
- 3:32Speaker 2: I didn't feel comfortable doing. I was trying to make
- 3:34Speaker 2: other people like me. How pathetic is that we all
- 3:38Speaker 2: have that voice to say, hey man, you know you're
- 3:40Speaker 2: you're kind of wimping out right now. You're kind of
- 3:41Speaker 2: being a little punk right now. But I would say, okay,
- 3:44Speaker 2: that's okay. It's okay to tell these little white lives
- 3:47Speaker 2: to ourselves. So we first have to face the real you.
- 3:50Speaker 2: The real me is David Goggins. The real me is
- 3:53Speaker 2: a guy looking at you right now saying I don't
- 3:55Speaker 2: want to fucking be on this show right now because
- 3:57Speaker 2: I used to stutter as a kid, and.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I'm afraid of that.
- 4:00Speaker 2: But that's when I see, right now, okay, Goggins, you
- 4:02Speaker 2: gotta go on this fucking show.
- 4:04Speaker 1: That's Goggins.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Goggins is saying, Okay, David Goggins, you're a punk. Life
- 4:10Speaker 2: made you this way. We can't live like this, We
- 4:13Speaker 2: can't live in fear. We can't live in judgment. We
- 4:16Speaker 2: can't be afraid of what the fuck people right now
- 4:18Speaker 2: are looking at me saying about me. You have to
- 4:20Speaker 2: face that in that dark room. That's the only way
- 4:23Speaker 2: you're gonna get over all those things. You have to
- 4:26Speaker 2: create someone else. Human beings want to show the best side,
- 4:29Speaker 2: and they want to hide the worst side. For me,
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna teach you how to be vulnerable, because that's
- 4:34Speaker 2: the only way you fix yourself. Let's say it's a
- 4:37Speaker 2: man up there or a woman whatever, and they have
- 4:39Speaker 2: a chart and when you're born, they say, David Goggins,
- 4:44Speaker 2: they write the chart down because they can see everything.
- 4:46Speaker 2: They know exactly where you're fucking is forced to be.
- 4:49Speaker 2: You die, you go to soul called heaven. You arrive
- 4:51Speaker 2: at heaven, I'm three hundred pounds. I go up there
- 4:54Speaker 2: and God looks at me and he shows in my chart.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And chart there says you were supposed to be a
- 5:01Speaker 1: navy seal. You're supposed to be one hundred and eighty
- 5:03Speaker 1: five pounds. I was supposed to live that life. And
- 5:06Speaker 1: then you find out that's the reason why. Because we
- 5:08Speaker 1: all think.
- 5:09Speaker 2: That if you pray on it, if you do this,
- 5:11Speaker 2: if you do that, whatever, If we don't work whatever.
- 5:13Speaker 1: It's go magtically happen for us.
- 5:15Speaker 2: I believe that when I'm all said and done with,
- 5:18Speaker 2: my whole job is to outwork the chart. Whatever the
- 5:21Speaker 2: fucking chart says about me, the all knowing power up there.
- 5:24Speaker 2: I want to get up there and say him look
- 5:26Speaker 2: at me and say I know everything. I didn't fucking
- 5:31Speaker 2: see this. I want to feel that. I want to
- 5:34Speaker 2: get to the other end of this fucking world. And
- 5:38Speaker 2: however I'm being judged, whoever's judging me to look at.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Me and say I did not fucking.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Know I had you at one eighty five, I had
- 5:46Speaker 2: you at this, but all this other shit I was
- 5:49Speaker 2: writing as you were living it. I want to find
- 5:53Speaker 2: more all I can, and in that fucking sack of shit,
- 5:58Speaker 2: you have to dive in in that to find more,
- 6:03Speaker 2: because if you're not willing to go in there and
- 6:04Speaker 2: face yourself, I can find anything. It's so easy to
- 6:10Speaker 2: be great nowadays, my friend, because most people are weak.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Most people don't want to go to that extra mile.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Most people don't want to find that extra because it sucks,
- 6:18Speaker 2: it's miserable, it's lonely. Do things you hate to do,
- 6:21Speaker 2: be uncomfortable every fucking day of your life. Roger, that
- 6:24Speaker 2: I'm not the smartest kid in the world. It says
- 6:26Speaker 2: somebody saying, oh, no, you're smart. No, no, don't say
- 6:28Speaker 2: that to yourself. I said to myself, No, I'm a
- 6:30Speaker 2: dumb motherfucker. Okay, Roger. That how you get smarter, educate yourself.
- 6:35Speaker 2: So the things that we run from, we run from
- 6:38Speaker 2: the truth. So the only way I became successful was
- 6:41Speaker 2: going towards the truth.
- 6:43Speaker 1: As painful and as brutal as it is, it changed me.
- 6:47Speaker 2: It allowed me to become, in my own right, who
- 6:51Speaker 2: I am today. I believe that most human beings are
- 6:54Speaker 2: only living at about forty percent of their capability.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Ooo, Who's to carry the in the vall?
- 7:02Speaker 2: At all times of your life? The mind has a
- 7:05Speaker 2: tactical advantage over you. Why is that it knows what
- 7:08Speaker 2: you're afraid of, It knows your insecurities, it knows your
- 7:11Speaker 2: deep dark lies, and it starts to push you away
- 7:15Speaker 2: from that shit you're talking about. That you were kind of,
- 7:18Speaker 2: you know, lonely by yourself. I was the same way,
- 7:22Speaker 2: and that used to hurt me growing up. Now I
- 7:25Speaker 2: fucking thrive in that shit.
- 7:27Speaker 1: That's the only place to be.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Something in you has to wake up and usually the
- 7:34Speaker 2: only person that can make it up is you. But
- 7:36Speaker 2: if you don't have a little flame, you know, just that,
- 7:39Speaker 2: just barely, if you're done.
- 7:43Speaker 1: I can't I can't light it for you.
- 7:45Speaker 2: And that's the harsh reality of this life that I
- 7:48Speaker 2: want to get across so fucking bad. You can watch me,
- 7:52Speaker 2: you can watch you. You can watch Rogan and Cameron Haynes,
- 7:54Speaker 2: all these motherfuckers. You can go to Tony Robbinson's fuckings, bullshit,
- 7:58Speaker 2: all this shit.
- 7:59Speaker 1: If you you could keep going back and keep spending
- 8:03Speaker 1: money and spending money and.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Spending money with no results, and you're gonna wonder, Wow,
- 8:07Speaker 2: maybe let me go try out David Goggins.
- 8:10Speaker 1: He ain't gonna fucking help you.
- 8:12Speaker 2: You have to explore, examine the inside of yourself.
- 8:17Speaker 1: And what do you really want out of life.
- 8:19Speaker 2: You have to envision something that is more powerful than you.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Something has to get you out of bed, and you
- 8:27Speaker 2: have to create it. It has to be false because
- 8:30Speaker 2: you're not it. You're a fat piece of shit, and
- 8:33Speaker 2: that's the reality of it. So you have to create
- 8:37Speaker 2: a false reality to live in that just to get
- 8:42Speaker 2: to work on yourself.
- 8:43Speaker 1: That's the reality.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Make up your own mission statement, what do you want
- 8:48Speaker 2: to be in life? And once you do that, now
- 8:51Speaker 2: you can work with somebody to get better. You can
- 8:54Speaker 2: work with yourself to get better. But until you know
- 8:57Speaker 2: what you want to stand for, you are always just
- 9:00Speaker 2: be sitting down. You'll never stand for anything. Let's say
- 9:03Speaker 2: you have no races, Let's say you have no classes,
- 9:07Speaker 2: no nothing, there's no purpose in your life. You know,
- 9:10Speaker 2: people need to have purpose to get up, They need
- 9:13Speaker 2: purpose to perform. You need to get to a point
- 9:15Speaker 2: in your life where there's nothing on the docket. If
- 9:19Speaker 2: you're not constantly performing without purpose, you're not going to
- 9:23Speaker 2: be ready when the time comes. It's this magical thing
- 9:26Speaker 2: purpose that we're all looking for. But what's funny you
- 9:28Speaker 2: about it all is that we need these things to perform,
- 9:32Speaker 2: but we don't take a second to realize the purpose
- 9:36Speaker 2: is always there. The purpose never leaves us because the
- 9:40Speaker 2: very purpose is you. You are always the purpose. There may
- 9:45Speaker 2: be another purpose like being a seal or going to
- 9:48Speaker 2: college or whatever.
- 9:49Speaker 1: But the main purpose in life is you. If you
- 9:52Speaker 1: wake up in the.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Morning and you don't want to do something you don't
- 9:55Speaker 2: care enough about yourself because you have to want it,
- 9:59Speaker 2: you have to want to be better, and it starts
- 10:01Speaker 2: off with you have to have pride in yourself, and
- 10:03Speaker 2: a lot of people out here just don't fucking want it.
- 10:06Speaker 1: So guess what have fun with your life?
- 10:10Speaker 2: Go from three to three fifty to four hundred to
- 10:13Speaker 2: four fifty to five hundred because you don't want it.
- 10:18Speaker 1: And that's the harsh reality. I can't give you shit.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I had to miserably wake up every morning in the cold.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I was miserable. This is your new life. Take gold
- 10:30Speaker 1: or leave it.
- 10:31Speaker 2: There's no happiness about it, there's no peace behind it.
- 10:35Speaker 1: It sucks. It just fucking sucks, and it's gonna continue
- 10:40Speaker 1: to suck.
- 10:41Speaker 2: And then one day you'll get to a special part
- 10:43Speaker 2: in your life that it might get a little bit better.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Self disciplines everything, and if you don't have it, I
- 10:49Speaker 2: don't look at you right because I know you're capable
- 10:51Speaker 2: of more.
- 10:52Speaker 1: It's not disciplined so much for me, it's all on you.
- 10:55Speaker 2: The self part was big where you're gonna fail and
- 10:59Speaker 2: you're gonna be in your head. You could be saying
- 11:01Speaker 2: I'm not good enough and it's how you get through that.
- 11:04Speaker 2: It's how you get through that on a daily basis.
- 11:07Speaker 2: When that thing is saying, man, I'm forty three, I've
- 11:10Speaker 2: done so much, you start to become civilized. The refrigerator
- 11:14Speaker 2: gets full, you start getting making money, and you start
- 11:18Speaker 2: I'm not getting cold anymore. I'm retired at forty People
- 11:22Speaker 2: shouldn't be playing basketball or football or beating them up.
- 11:25Speaker 2: You start to believe this shit and it becomes in
- 11:28Speaker 2: your fucking mind, Like there's people who are retiring, you know,
- 11:31Speaker 2: at forty seven years old or thirty seven years old.
- 11:33Speaker 2: At forty three, I'm still putting one hundred mile weeks,
- 11:36Speaker 2: still doing thousands of pull ups to thousands of push
- 11:39Speaker 2: ups because I'm not allowing myself to become civilized. The
- 11:42Speaker 2: worst thing that happened to a man is become civilized.
- 11:45Speaker 2: You lose that fucking fight. You lose that. Why the
- 11:48Speaker 2: fuck am I doing this shit?
- 11:50Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 11:52Speaker 2: You ain't good, man, You ain't never fucking arrived, And
- 11:55Speaker 2: that's just my mentality. You may have more, but you
- 11:57Speaker 2: never fucking arrived. You want to be uncommon, A must
- 12:00Speaker 2: common people.
- 12:01Speaker 3: You know. It comes from out of rough childhood, coming
- 12:03Speaker 3: up and I just took all that, you know, negative energy.
- 12:08Speaker 2: It made it very positive for myself to drive me.
- 12:10Speaker 2: I'm a very driven person. I've passioned that almost scarce
- 12:15Speaker 2: people just to be successful.
- 12:17Speaker 1: And to make it no matter what.
- 12:18Speaker 2: People wonder, how do you stay hungry all the time?
- 12:22Speaker 2: Because after I accomplished something, I don't sit back like
- 12:26Speaker 2: a lot of guys who graduate, buds graduate this graduate
- 12:28Speaker 2: that they get comfortable. They wonder why I'm getting weak? Man,
- 12:32Speaker 2: I don't know, I've lost my edge?
- 12:34Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 12:34Speaker 2: Because once you hit the top of the fucking mountain,
- 12:36Speaker 2: guess what happened. I'm good, I'm good. So you wonder
- 12:40Speaker 2: why you're falling down now? Because once you top of
- 12:43Speaker 2: the mountain, you got build a fuck another one.
- 12:45Speaker 1: That's mediocrity.
- 12:46Speaker 2: There's a lot of people in mediocrity who have a
- 12:48Speaker 2: nice resume, but they're one timers.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Man.
- 12:52Speaker 2: They hit a one time deal, they busted open, got
- 12:55Speaker 2: a lot of money.
- 12:56Speaker 1: But they're good.
- 12:58Speaker 2: You're a mediocre now, man, what are you fucking doing today? Tomorrow?
- 13:03Speaker 2: The next fucking day. I listened to a motherfucker who's
- 13:05Speaker 2: like this, man, what's wrong? Man?
- 13:08Speaker 1: Fucking tired, dude?
- 13:09Speaker 2: Right, you tired, because tomorrow I gotta do the fucking
- 13:13Speaker 2: shit again. Man, whenever the shit is that made me
- 13:16Speaker 2: fucking nauseous and sick to my stomach. It made me hurt.
- 13:20Speaker 2: There's no ending. And that's the person I listen to.
- 13:23Speaker 2: That's the person who's gain knowledge. You're gain knowledge through suffering.
- 13:27Speaker 2: And on the other end of suffering is a world
- 13:31Speaker 2: that very few, very few have ever seen. It's a
- 13:35Speaker 2: beautiful world.
- 13:36Speaker 1: I will have.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Normal everyday people picking me apart on his life as
- 13:41Speaker 2: visual who wants to live like that? He looks it's crazy,
- 13:45Speaker 2: how he's almost like he's sick, he's psychotic. Because human
- 13:49Speaker 2: beings need to hear this, then you stop hearing these.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Hacks on this and that. There's no fucking hack, bro,
- 13:58Speaker 3: there's no fucking hack.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Yes, you made this and that and saunas and this
- 14:03Speaker 2: and all this shit that, Yeah, it's great.
- 14:06Speaker 3: There is no fucking life hack to grow that thing.
- 14:10Speaker 3: And how do you grow it?
- 14:12Speaker 1: Do it and do it and do it and do it.
- 14:16Speaker 2: That's the hack. Let me teach you the real life
- 14:19Speaker 2: how it really is. The reason why you're a loser
- 14:21Speaker 2: and the reason why you're not fucking making it and
- 14:23Speaker 2: the reason why you're trying to go through all these
- 14:25Speaker 2: I go to all these fucking conventions, speak all the time.
- 14:28Speaker 2: I'm look into fucking audience, and these people sign up,
- 14:32Speaker 2: sign up, sign up fucking every year to go to
- 14:34Speaker 2: convention thinking they're gonna learn something fucking different. What brings
- 14:38Speaker 2: me joy and happiness is knowing how beautiful the mind is.
- 14:42Speaker 2: And I'm one of the few people that didn't read
- 14:44Speaker 2: about it then it experienced it.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Through some some drug.
- 14:49Speaker 3: I got to experience the beauty of true fucking willpower,
- 14:55Speaker 3: true fuck you.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna fail. I'm gonna fucking fail, and.
- 15:01Speaker 3: I will succeed. Just me talking about that gives me
- 15:04Speaker 3: a feeling. I know what I did, and I don't
- 15:07Speaker 3: need to travel somewhere or to have this or have that.
- 15:11Speaker 2: I have it all here in my mind. And that
- 15:13Speaker 2: is when you finally get to that point. For me,
- 15:16Speaker 2: it's forever lasting peace.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I have do it.
- 15:20Speaker 3: I could die right now on this show, and I'll

- 16:14Speaker 3: I find my strength at where I get my strength.
- 16:16Speaker 3: I get it from a lot of places, though right
- 16:18Speaker 3: now this morning, I'm getting it from There's not a
- 16:21Speaker 3: motherfucker that's up. There's not a car, there's not a person.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Everybody's in their bed sleep dreading that. It's a Monday.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Hate it's a monday, and I'm loving it. I'm loving
- 16:31Speaker 3: that where everybody is getting weaker. I'm getting stronger. It's
- 16:35Speaker 3: not about the running, to swim in, to push up
- 16:38Speaker 3: to sit ups. It's about what those things do for
- 16:40Speaker 3: your mentality. You don't get better on the dad one couch.
- 16:44Speaker 3: You get better by coming out here and getting the
- 16:46Speaker 3: fuck after it every dag gone day, stay hard.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Every morning, every day of our lives, we have choices
- 16:55Speaker 2: to make.
- 16:56Speaker 1: You get a choice to.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Stay in bed today, get it, I'm not gonna work
- 17:01Speaker 2: out today, or forget it, I'm not gonna work hard today.
- 17:05Speaker 1: You always have a choice every single day of your life.
- 17:08Speaker 2: So yesterday I made a choice to get up early
- 17:12Speaker 2: and run.
- 17:13Speaker 1: But today's another day. Now I'm faced with another choice
- 17:17Speaker 1: to make.
- 17:18Speaker 3: So I'm making a choice again to put my.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Shoes on early in the morning and get after it again.
- 17:26Speaker 1: So make the right decision.
- 17:29Speaker 2: I want you to realize that this world life is
- 17:34Speaker 2: one big head game, and once you learn to play
- 17:38Speaker 2: the motherfucking head.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Game, it's no longer a game anymore at all. You
- 17:43Speaker 1: can start living your life. I saw myself as the
- 17:47Speaker 1: weakest human.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Being on the planet, and I wanted to transform that
- 17:52Speaker 2: into the hardest man God.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Ever created, who's gonna carry the bones.
- 18:00Speaker 2: When you go to war with yourself, you find a
- 18:02Speaker 2: lot of peace because you know exactly who you are.
- 18:06Speaker 1: When you quit your mindsets, we're done. So it hadn't
- 18:08Speaker 1: expand there's no expansion. When you quit, your mind takes
- 18:13Speaker 1: control of you. You have to say thank you. I
- 18:16Speaker 1: run this mother.
- 18:17Speaker 3: You got to tell your brain where you want to
- 18:18Speaker 3: go and how you want to go, and how you
- 18:20Speaker 3: want to.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Get there to day fucking hard.
- 18:23Speaker 2: That warrior mentality that I'm so proud of, I wasn't
- 18:26Speaker 2: born with it.
- 18:28Speaker 1: I was not always this strong guy. You see. I
- 18:32Speaker 1: went through a lot of hard times in my life
- 18:34Speaker 1: to get here today.
- 18:35Speaker 2: What changed me was I had to be hard on
- 18:38Speaker 2: myself and I have to continue to grind myself into
- 18:43Speaker 2: a fine dust. The only way I could find myself
- 18:48Speaker 2: was through putting myself through the worst thing possible.
- 18:53Speaker 3: I was a scared, uneducated kid who stuttered, and I
- 18:56Speaker 3: had to look at myself in the mirror and held
- 18:58Speaker 3: myself accountable for who I wasn't and who I want
- 19:00Speaker 3: it to be.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Nothing was coming back to save me, so I realized
- 19:03Speaker 2: I just saved myself. You gain knowledge through suffering and
- 19:07Speaker 2: on the other end of suffering is a world that

- 19:26Speaker 1: it's a real journey.
- 19:27Speaker 3: It's a journey that's gonna take you way outside of
- 19:29Speaker 3: being comfortable. We all look for toughness, we all want it,
- 19:32Speaker 3: but we look for in a comfortable environment.
- 19:35Speaker 1: You will not find toughness in a comfortable environment.
- 19:40Speaker 3: You got to do your best work when you're at
- 19:42Speaker 3: least motivating to those days you don't want to do it, Yes,
- 19:46Speaker 3: what you gotta do, You got second stuff.
- 19:48Speaker 1: To do it.
- 19:49Speaker 2: You have got to suffer to grow. To grow, you
- 19:53Speaker 2: must suffer. You have to build a person that can
- 19:58Speaker 2: withstand the pressures of whatever they're going to be dealing
- 20:01Speaker 2: with in life.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Because this world we live in is tough. It's tough.
- 20:04Speaker 1: It will beat you down. The world and the life
- 20:07Speaker 1: that we live in is an ultimate competitor. You have
- 20:10Speaker 1: got to suffer to grow. To grow, you must suffer.
- 20:16Speaker 2: The mind has the tactical advantage over you at all times,
- 20:21Speaker 2: at all times of your life, the mind has a
- 20:24Speaker 2: tactical it vantage over you.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Why is that it knows what you're afraid of.
- 20:28Speaker 2: It knows your insecurities, it knows your deep dark lives,
- 20:32Speaker 2: and it starts to push you away from that shit.
- 20:35Speaker 2: It pushes you in a direction that is comfortable. Your
- 20:38Speaker 2: mind takes control of you. You have to say you,
- 20:42Speaker 2: I run this mother.
- 20:46Speaker 3: When now alarm clock goes off at four or five
- 20:48Speaker 3: in the morning, your mind says no.
- 20:50Speaker 1: You say, this is what we do. It's what we
- 20:53Speaker 1: do now.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Because to get to where you want to go, the
- 20:57Speaker 3: amount of pain involved.
- 20:58Speaker 2: And I'm not saying physics, I'm not saying you got
- 21:01Speaker 2: to break yourself off.
- 21:02Speaker 3: The amount of mental pain of how many times you're
- 21:05Speaker 3: gonna have to do something that you don't want to
- 21:08Speaker 3: do to get to where you.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Want to go. There's gonna be more times.
- 21:12Speaker 2: You do something that you don't want to do than
- 21:14Speaker 2: you are going to want to do it.
- 21:16Speaker 1: That's your new norm. That's your new norm.
- 21:18Speaker 3: And then once you do this over and over and
- 21:21Speaker 3: over again, it becomes like breathing.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I don't want to live this lifestyle.
- 21:25Speaker 2: But to get to the other side of this, I
- 21:27Speaker 2: have to The only way you're ever going to get
- 21:30Speaker 2: to the other side of this journey is you have
- 21:32Speaker 2: got to suffer to grow.
- 21:35Speaker 1: To grow, you must suffer. We have the ability to
- 21:38Speaker 1: go in such a space if you're willing.
- 21:40Speaker 2: To suffer, and I mean suffer, your brain and your body,
- 21:44Speaker 2: once connected together, can do anything. I'm trying to build
- 21:47Speaker 2: people up. I'm trying to armor their mind. I'm trying
- 21:50Speaker 2: to get them the belief because this world we live
- 21:52Speaker 2: in is tough.
- 21:53Speaker 1: It's tough. It will beat you down. The world and
- 21:56Speaker 1: the life that we live in is to ultimate competitor.
- 21:58Speaker 2: It will try to take you out, It will find
- 22:00Speaker 2: your weakness, and it will dishammer you. So if I
- 22:04Speaker 2: can help you build belief, build confidence to the point
- 22:08Speaker 2: where nothing can.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Hurt you because you know exactly who you are.
- 22:11Speaker 2: You have to build a person that can withstand the
- 22:15Speaker 2: pressures of whatever they're gonna be dealing with in life.
- 22:19Speaker 1: You gain knowledge through suffering.
- 22:20Speaker 2: And on the other end of suffering is a world
- 22:23Speaker 2: that very few, very few have ever seen. It's a
- 22:27Speaker 2: beautiful world because that's where you find yourself every day.
- 22:31Speaker 2: You have to do this shit, because why when you
- 22:33Speaker 2: stop doing it. You'll just maintain it if you stop
- 22:37Speaker 2: shooting a gun and not gonna be a great shop
- 22:39Speaker 2: if you pick a gun up a year from now.
- 22:45Speaker 1: If you want to be great, you want to be
- 22:46Speaker 1: a bad mother. Ever at which you do, you can
- 22:50Speaker 1: be misunderstood.
- 22:51Speaker 2: By everybody because you're gonna be so obsessed and so
- 22:54Speaker 2: driven to get there.
- 22:55Speaker 1: That's what it takes every second of your life.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Anybody says balance, Yeah, balance is important for a lot
- 23:00Speaker 2: of people.
- 23:01Speaker 1: It is.
- 23:01Speaker 2: But if you want to go to that edge where
- 23:03Speaker 2: people do not like you, don't understand you, question everything
- 23:06Speaker 2: you do. You've arrived when you are misunderstood to the
- 23:10Speaker 2: point where when people think your psycho and you're nuts
- 23:12Speaker 2: and this and that, why are you in gym at
- 23:15Speaker 2: one o'clock in the morning.
- 23:16Speaker 1: You will never understand what is wrong with me.
- 23:19Speaker 3: And that's why I'm so glad you don't, because I'm
- 23:23Speaker 3: in the right spot.
- 23:24Speaker 1: When people don't understand you anymore.
- 23:26Speaker 3: You're in that spot of obsession and drive where people
- 23:29Speaker 3: at cliptoff is wrong with this guy.
- 23:31Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to you, man, because you're
- 23:32Speaker 1: not going to get it. I can't get this paragraph.
- 23:34Speaker 2: I can't remember what the this paragraph to pass this
- 23:37Speaker 2: test to get in the military. Read again, still not
- 23:40Speaker 2: getting it, read again, but not getting it right.
- 23:42Speaker 1: It out. And that's how I started learning. I can't swim.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I'm negative. Voyan go back again. I can't swim. Go
- 23:49Speaker 1: back again, go back again, go back again. I got it.
- 23:54Speaker 3: I realize if I keep going back and going back
- 23:57Speaker 3: and going back until the sh it just becomes, your
- 24:01Speaker 3: mind will say, Okay, we're gonna figure it out, because
- 24:05Speaker 3: he is.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Not going to stop. It's not like I'm gonna try
- 24:08Speaker 1: one more time. No, I'm gonna It's.
- 24:10Speaker 3: Just like lomclock goes off, boom, We're going back. I
- 24:14Speaker 3: can't read right, We're going back. I gave myself no
- 24:17Speaker 3: way out, and my mind realized that they say, Okay,
- 24:20Speaker 3: we're gonna adapt and overcome. Now, a lot of us
- 24:22Speaker 3: want to find peace first, so people say, may you
- 24:25Speaker 3: always talk about this suffering and pain and shit. I'm
- 24:28Speaker 3: at peace right now because I went through that. You
- 24:31Speaker 3: don't find peace first. If you do, Merry Christmas, more
- 24:34Speaker 3: power to you. I found peace on the opposite end
- 24:38Speaker 3: of finding myself, and no one really finds himself without.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Going through trials.
- 24:44Speaker 3: Tribulations suffering accountability, and accountability is suffering being accountable everything day,
- 24:52Speaker 3: for doing right for yourself for the people next to you.
- 24:55Speaker 2: It's miserable. One thing we don't do is we don't
- 24:57Speaker 2: have a new norm. My new norm is you can
- 24:59Speaker 2: get everything more than at four o'clock, and you suffer.
- 25:01Speaker 2: This is your new norm. That became my new life.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Most people want to get out of it. I said, no,
- 25:06Speaker 2: I'm this is your new life. This is who you are.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Your new norm is you wake up and you suffer.
- 25:12Speaker 2: And I started realizing, if that's my mentality, this should
- 25:16Speaker 2: ain't hard anymore. Not giving civilized is about having a
- 25:22Speaker 2: savage mentality. It's a comfortable world. A lot of us say,
- 25:27Speaker 2: you know, like, for instance, I see these athletes right
- 25:29Speaker 2: now who retire. You know, I'm thirty eight. You know
- 25:32Speaker 2: I'm thirty nine. I did twenty years at the top
- 25:35Speaker 2: of my game and I'm chilling out now. You see
- 25:37Speaker 2: them a year later, and how they look, What the
- 25:40Speaker 2: hell just happened to you?
- 25:41Speaker 1: What the hell?
- 25:42Speaker 2: You're one of the greatest athletes of all time. Kids
- 25:44Speaker 2: looked up to you, women, men of all ages looked
- 25:48Speaker 2: up to you, and they hit the pinnacle where it's
- 25:50Speaker 2: trying to retire and their mind says, wow, I'm civilized.
- 25:54Speaker 3: The worst thing that could ever happen to any human
- 25:57Speaker 3: being is they become civilized.
- 25:59Speaker 2: It's that little accountability, like even when you're retired, there's
- 26:02Speaker 2: a mother looking at me and judging me. Right now, man,
- 26:05Speaker 2: I was the baddest person to ever live. Doesn't go away. Man,
- 26:10Speaker 2: you gotta wake up. Even though you retired, you're never retired.
- 26:13Speaker 2: You're setting the example every single day of your life
- 26:18Speaker 2: and being civilized feeling so good. I'm sorry, man, once
- 26:21Speaker 2: you get to the top, you may retire, but you
- 26:23Speaker 2: ain't never coming back home. Man, And now you're judged.
- 26:26Speaker 2: People see you falling off. You want to be that guy.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Who knows I may be retired from the sport or
- 26:32Speaker 3: forever I did, but I'd be damn if you ever
- 26:35Speaker 3: see me looking like.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Shit, feeling like shit, not arriving people. I've arrived. I've arrived. Mentality,
- 26:42Speaker 2: you're always setting the example. Civilization feels so good. These
- 26:46Speaker 2: comfortable feelings are what people want. They want retirement, they want.
- 26:51Speaker 1: That, they need that. They it's a yearning feeling.
- 26:54Speaker 3: I want it to People love putting a label on
- 26:57Speaker 3: me about my god.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Man, you're just why are different? My wire different? Dude?
- 27:03Speaker 2: I'm thinking right now. After I got past my stuttering thing,
- 27:06Speaker 2: now I'm on a roll. I'm good now. You know
- 27:08Speaker 2: what I'm thinking about. Right now, I gotta wake up
- 27:10Speaker 2: tomorrow and do the same shit again. I gotta leave
- 27:13Speaker 2: this interview and go stretch out for two and a
- 27:15Speaker 2: half hours.
- 27:16Speaker 1: I hate that shit, but guess what it does.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Though, I'm constantly callous and over my victim's mentality that
- 27:24Speaker 2: I once had growing up. Every day you have to
- 27:28Speaker 2: do this shit. The only way to keep from getting
- 27:30Speaker 2: rusty is to constantly owe that mother machine.
- 27:34Speaker 1: The machine is this.
- 27:35Speaker 2: You gotta keep challenging it every day.
- 27:42Speaker 1: How do I do it? How am I able to
- 27:45Speaker 1: do what I do on a daily basis?
- 27:47Speaker 3: You know?
- 27:47Speaker 2: How do I fight the demons? Because they hear me
- 27:50Speaker 2: speak and I'm very raw, I'm real. How do you
- 27:53Speaker 2: fight my insecurities? All these things and they're there every
- 27:58Speaker 2: day every day.
- 28:00Speaker 1: I'm in search for a feeling. I'm not in search
- 28:03Speaker 1: for a trophy. I'm not in search for love. I'm
- 28:04Speaker 1: not in source for more followers on Instagram or social media.
- 28:08Speaker 2: When I started this journey years ago, and I realized
- 28:12Speaker 2: that I'm going to be somebody, and I'm searching for
- 28:15Speaker 2: a feeling, a feeling of truth, victory for myself and
- 28:19Speaker 2: only myself. The second I shut out the whole world
- 28:22Speaker 2: and realize that one thing that I am in this
- 28:25Speaker 2: world alone, I'm fighting in.
- 28:27Speaker 1: This race by myself.
- 28:30Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm all about people, I'm all about team, I'm
- 28:32Speaker 3: all about that shit, But I'm really all about right
- 28:35Speaker 3: now and in my life, no one knows the real
- 28:39Speaker 3: truth about me, how hard I really go.
- 28:42Speaker 2: I don't care if anybody knows. I want anybody to know.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I'm an introvert. I live an introverted life, and I
- 28:49Speaker 2: love that about me. That right there is my fuel
- 28:53Speaker 2: is I know that there's really no one out there
- 28:57Speaker 2: grinding like me, and if they are, so be it.
- 29:00Speaker 3: If I know about you, I'll make sure that my gang.
- 29:05Speaker 3: That's what the mentality is all about. My whole thing
- 29:07Speaker 3: is a mentality thing. I view myself as the weakest
- 29:11Speaker 3: person on the planet Earth.
- 29:13Speaker 1: I was just an insecure, scared.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Kid, and the only way I could find myself was
- 29:21Speaker 2: through putting myself through the worst thing possible. My goal
- 29:25Speaker 2: in life was to in my mind believe I'm the
- 29:29Speaker 2: hardest man alive. And that's why the whole thing is,
- 29:33Speaker 2: can't hurt me. That's what it's about. It's about whatever
- 29:37Speaker 2: you think you are. You have to make that dream
- 29:40Speaker 2: of reality. But that's where the hard part is, is
- 29:43Speaker 2: making that dream reality. That's where the hard work come is.
- 29:45Speaker 2: That's where people know, how.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Do you keep grinding every day?
- 29:49Speaker 2: You have to make those insecurities, those fears. Like when
- 29:52Speaker 2: I was three d of pounds, I didn't.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Have any drive.
- 29:54Speaker 2: I'm gonna go be a navy seat? What kind of
- 29:56Speaker 2: stupid shit is that three hundred pounds? There wasn't like
- 29:59Speaker 2: a drive to go be and navy. So I was
- 30:00Speaker 2: an insecure, lying kid, afraid. I had to look at
- 30:05Speaker 2: my insecurities and in my fear and find drive in that.
- 30:10Speaker 2: We're all looking for passion, passions all around you.
- 30:14Speaker 1: You have a whole.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Sack of it all around you, your insecurities, all that shit.
- 30:18Speaker 2: You got to dive deep in that shit. It's all
- 30:21Speaker 2: in there. All the energy and fuel you need is
- 30:24Speaker 2: right in yourself.
- 30:27Speaker 1: It's all there.
- 30:28Speaker 2: You got a lot of stuff to do to overcome,
- 30:31Speaker 2: and you know, that's where I found it. I found
- 30:33Speaker 2: it right there in my own insecurities. I found drive
- 30:35Speaker 2: in my own insecurities. And that's the most powerful thing
- 30:40Speaker 2: in the world. When you can find drive in your
- 30:43Speaker 2: own doubt, fear, insecurities, you become very unstoppable.
