  Speaker 1: When that liarm clock goes off at four or five
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: in the morning, your mind says, no.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: You need to say this is what we do.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's what we do now, because to get to where
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you want to go, the amount of pain involved, the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: amount of mental pain of how many times you're going
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to have to do something that you don't want to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: do to get to where you want to go.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: There's gonna be more times.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: You do something that you don't want to do, then
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you are going to want to do it, and that's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: your new norm.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Why is the truth so important? You know what?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Because first of all, it does set you free mentally,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and it gives you a starting point.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: You have to have the truth to have a starting point.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: If I'm lying to you about who I am, or
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I'm lying to you about whatever, there's no starting point.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: There's a false reality. You have to create the real reality.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: So that's what I call my accountability mirror in my book.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: That's the real reality where the am I going to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: start from? So for me, I was lying to this,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: lying about that, so I had no starting point.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Once you come face to face with who you are,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: you have a starting point.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm not real smart, I have no courage,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I have no self esteem, I have no nothing nothing.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: That's my starting point. Now we can move from there.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But if I tell myself I'm strong, I have courage,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I'm smart, and all these are lies, you continuously push
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that starting point backwards.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: So that starting point is the truth.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: There's no bullshit truth that only you can tell yourself.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: So it's the starting point. The truth is the starting point.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And most people are surrounded by people that don't tell
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: them the truth no, because it's too painful.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: It is, especially nowadays in this society. We like to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: surround ourselves. It makes us feel so good, those people who.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Say it's okay, it's okay.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It's not okay. It is in a okay man, And
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Society's changing and we love to feel wanted and loved.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Trust me, that's all important. It is.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But you have to have the truth from people. Hey,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you're not working your butt off hard enough. You're not
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: trying hard enough. We all think we're trying hard, But
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: what are you gauging that off of? I talked to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this one kid the other day. College is kicking my ass.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I said, what are you gaging that off of? I? Go,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: are you trying. Go, Yeah, I'm trying my ass off.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I'm studying hard. I go, what are you gauging trying
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: hard off of? Well, in high school I didn't have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to try it all, and I made great grades in college.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I'm trying hard.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You're trying hard compared to what you did in high school,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: which was it came easy to you. So your reality
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is something that you created off of something easy. So
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you trying hard. It's two hours of studying. I'm going
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to tell your difference and trying hard and trying hard.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Trying hard is something in your mind just doesn't stop
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: where you know two hours isn't enough. So it's all about,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you know, reality in what you're basing things off of.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: When I was tours are ninety seven pounds, and I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: was fat as hell trying to be a Navy seal.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: The scariest thing in the world to me, even to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: this day, was that that could have been the rest
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of my life. I thought, then I was trying hard.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: That's the scariest thing in the world. I thought, then,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: tours are ninety seven pounds working for Eco.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Labs spraying for cockroaches, making.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: One thousand dollars a month, I thought that was me
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at my one hundred percent potential. Come to find out
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even where near that one hundred and six
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: pounds less graduating Navy seal training. We don't do all
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: these other things. Looking back on that, that was me
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: trying hard. That's why people got to understand what is
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in us. We have no idea until we start trying hard,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and I mean really trying hard where you're obsessed with, Hey,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: this is my new norm. My new norm is that, Wow,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: this isn't always fun, is not always meant to be fun,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and that's when you know you're trying hard.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: We all have two people.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: We have the easy voice, which is that twenty percent
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: telling yourself that you're easy at ninety percent of my
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: full potential, maybe one hundred percent at that twenty percent.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: That's that voice that we all love. That's that very
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: comfortable voice. That that's that mommy holding you saying it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: going to be okay.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Doesn't care how good you are, just loves you, just
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: loves you.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: No matter how messed up you are. In alive that's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: where we want to be at. So that's that one voice.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: This other voice that we walk very far away from
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: is the voice saying, hey, man, you ain't doing shit.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So we try to get this voice out of our
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: head completely.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: And we live over here in this land.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So what you have to do first is turn up
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: this voice over here, the voice.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Saying things to you that aren't nice.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That it's in our heads saying you know what, man, dude,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you're not You're not doing shit, and it's not putting
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: yourself down. People take this the wrong way in this
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: new society. I'm not saying to put yourself down. I'm saying,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: listen to the truth. And the truth isn't in the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: twenty percent. The truth is in this other part of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: your brain saying, look, man, you're wasting a bunch of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: percentage here.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: We have eighty more percent that we're not.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Tapping into because in this other eighty percent is suffering pain, failure, failure, failure,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: self doubt, darkness, and then a whole bunch of light.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: But to get to this light, you got to go
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: through all of this shit. So a lot of us
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: know that we know, we do know deep down, Yeah I.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Can get over here.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But over here, man, this is much better because I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: gotta go through this journey that is not fun. This
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: from twenty to one hundred percent. This shit in between
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: is not fun. So we decide to live over here.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: So everybody goes, how do you do that? You know
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: exactly how to do that. It's not a magic trick.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It's all back down to a very primitive mindset of
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we just have to do. It's like breathing. Breathing me
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: coomes normal, like we don't know that we're doing it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: That's how you have to live your life. When now
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: your mind says no.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: You just say, it's just what we do. It's what
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we do now.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Because to get to where you want to go, the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: amount of pain involved, the amount of mental pain of
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: how many times you're going to have to do something
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that you don't want to do to get to where
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you want to go. There's gonna be more times you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: do something that you don't want to do. Then you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: are going to want to do it, and that's your
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: new norm. That's your new norm. So then it's like breathing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And then once you do this over and over and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: over again, it becomes like breathing. I don't want to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: live this lifestyle but to get to the other side
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of this, I have to if you really.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Want it, you realize what trying is and what trying
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: is not.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Once again, I have to say, very loud and clear,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not about being a masochist.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But what I found when I was tour in ninety
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: seven pounds.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm not a guy that read a book and said, oh,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: they're the answers.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: All this came from here.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It came from me putting myself on the hot.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Seat and then saying okay, wow, okay.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Two ninety seven. This is where my mind was at
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to get to one eighty seven. This is where my
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: mind went to to go through three who weeks, to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: run towards in the five miles, to.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Do four thousand and thirty pull ups. And I'm a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: natural born fat guy.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Even though I was born one seventy five, I gained
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five pounds. I was lazy. That's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: who I am. I'm a guy that likes to sit back,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: watch TV and eat pizza like everybody. Like everybody, all
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I crave is that mama voice. Please love David, Love David.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That voice got me to torture in ninety seven pounds matter.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I cook for you, just a cook for When I
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: got out the military and I started getting this.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Weight a lot, my standard breakfat was eight centmon rolls,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: six to eight scrambled eggs, half a pound of bacon,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: fruity pebbles. That was my standard breakfast. Whatever I wanted,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I did. And that's where I started seeing myself get
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: further and further away from my true self. And your
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: true self is found, honestly in that very uncomfortable zone.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I had this haunting voice in the back of my head.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: A lot of us have it, we just ignore it,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and it was there for years. So I knew in
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the back of my mind that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I could pull off this whatever whatever I wanted, I
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: knew I could, but I was afraid of the work
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: because I wasn't gifted with brains. I wasn't gifted with
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: God given talent as far as like athleticism.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: So I knew to get to where I had to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: go to be.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: On the same playing field as these men to even
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: try out for this program, I knew the work was
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: going to be something that I didn't want to even
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: even attack.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: So I just put it off. But yet you did
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: it because it haunted me.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: The voice in my head said, you know what, man,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: You're gonna die never even trying to reach your full potential.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And how's that gonna feel. So I'm gonna live even
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: while I'm dead. I'm gonna be because I believe in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: a higher power, whatever it may be. I don't know
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: what it is. I believe that your mind lives forever,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: some spirit, something lives forever. I'm gonna be haunted by
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the mere fact that I literally just that's what I was.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: So whatever heaven or hell is, you're in hell the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: rest of your life, the rest of your life. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: if there is a God, who is I hope to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: God there is, knowing what I put myself through. Now,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: whatever memories I have, if there's any at all, I'll
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be a happy man. But I knew that I was
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: get paid for this while I was living or while
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I was dead. I was get paid for this because basically,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to me, it was a huge sin.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I'm basically just gonna sit here and just be a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: comfortable man. Wasting your life is a sin. Sin
