  Speaker 1: Let's say you're in the hospital bed and you're getting
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: ready to die and somebody walks in the.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Room and you have one copy of your book and.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's sitting right there on the table, and you're taking
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: your last breath and you're talking to this person. You
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: say to them, I want you to read this book
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: as you're dying. Think about this, that book that you
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: just wrote, when it changed your life forever, And if
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it's not changing their life forever, you have to rewrite
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: your book.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: You have to start rewriting it right now.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I wanted to live my life in a way that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: when I died, I was proud of myself.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I know what pride felt like.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And if it took pushing myself to death, I was
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: willing to do that. If I wanted to look in
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that mirror, not impress anybody, not money, not fame.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Not nothing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I wanted to impress the guy in the dagone mirror.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And I worked endlessly and tirelessly to do that, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: it happened. I see what is not the norm was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: impossible with all the theorists say you shouldn't be doing this,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that's the wrong way to go, And I'm like, hmm,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: let me see if I can pull this shit off.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's so easy to be great nowadays, my friend, because
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: most people are weak. Most people don't want to go
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to that extra mile. Most people don't want to find
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that extra because it sucks, it's miserable, it's lonely. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: really started to enjoy seeing what the human mind was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: capable of and seeing that what is so horrendous, There's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: so much joy and glory in this shit. The most
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: important conversation is the one you have with yourself. You
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: wake up with it, you walk around with it, you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: go to bed with it. Eventually you act on it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you act on it good, sometimes bad. You got
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to change the internal dialogue that person in your head
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: that's talking that shit to you, Until you change the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: internal dialogue in your head, until you callous over the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: victim's mentality that the world is out to get you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You because of you, are the only you got to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: change that shit, man. I get that mentality. I once
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: had that mentality that no one understands what I'm going through.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And if you keep that mentality, you're going to stay
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in the same exact spot that you're in. I saw
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: myself as the weakest human being on the planet, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I wanted to transform that into.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: The hardest man God ever created. Your mind takees control
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of you.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You have to say you I run this mother flu
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You have to be your best self and your least motivated.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You have to have these different things.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: In your mind on where you want to go and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: know that motivation is not going to get me there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: The only thing that changes your DNA is disciplined. If
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you can get through to doing things that you hate
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to do. On the other side is greatness.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You have to be willing to fail one hundred times
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to succeed once.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: If you're not going to.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Do that, man, you're not going to even get a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: fraction of what you're looking for. There's a new bar
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that you must always set in your life. And once
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you become complacent and you become civilized, you've arrived.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: You're no good for anybody. Everybody's journey's different. Everybody's journey
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: is different.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I was on the journey to see who David Goggins was,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and that journey took me in some of the hardest
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: areas of human being.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Can even imagine.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And right now I'm the happiest person on the planet
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: because you know, I had to climb out every several
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: times just to look down all my life to see where.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Hell I came from.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And that's what kept me going through all this stuff,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Like I envisioned myself going through, like when I was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a young kid and they called me all the time
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that my dad beat the hell out of me, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I had no self esteem.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I had this vision of if I.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Can make it to where I want to go, imagine
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: when I look back on my damn.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Life, how proud I will be.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And now I'm here, I'm able to look back on
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: this life I lived that many people will never understand
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: because why when you're passionate, they think you're crazy and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you can't even explain to people why you're doing or
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: why you did what you.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Did, because you found your purpose. And once you find
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: your purpose, you can't.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Really explain it to normal people because they don't understand
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: passionate because they live everyday life is going not really
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: find their purpose.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So I become a foreign language to people. They think,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: so they put me in a category if you're just crazy. No, no, no, no, no,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I'm passionate. I found my purpose in this life. If
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you want to be great, you want to be a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: bad mother.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Ever, at which you do, you can be misunderstood by
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: everybody because you're going to be.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: So obsessed and so driven to get there. That's what
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it takes.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: The first step you have to do is face yourself
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and be accountable for what you're not, so then you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: can be what you want to be. I call myself
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: fat because I was fat, and people don't want to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: They want to say, oh, what call you? You're so fat?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Don't call yourself dumb.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: If you're not real and raw with who you are,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: nothing's gonna change. And in this nice new world that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: we live in, we want to hear you're just a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: little big no man. You might be fat. How you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: address it is you face it. You face it every day,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You face it every single day of your life.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Where you say, okay, like if you're fat, you need
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to lose weight.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It's patience. It's patience in this fact of accepting who
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you are. Right now, I'm fat. I don't like myself,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: accepting the fact that if you lose three or four pounds,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that's a huge accomplishment. I started realizing man, just by
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: going to war with myself every day and putting these
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: challenges in these goals and these obstacles, these insurmountable obstacles.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So it what about losing one hundred and six pounds?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Me losing five pounds was an accomplishment. We losing ten
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: pounds and then fifty pounds. The more I did, the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: more I gain confidence. I was just working, I was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: just sacrificing, and then through that all these different tools
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: started coming up. But I would have never found these
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: tools if I didn't put myself in a very uncomfortable place.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: We all look for toughness, we all want it, but
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: we look for it in a comfortable environment. You will
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: not find toughness in a comfortable environment. Those of you
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: who are listening to this, whoever hear this, you will
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: not find it. I was trying to look for it everywhere.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: The only way you find it is to drown yourself
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: in a position where you're just out of sorts, where
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you can't swim, and you're drowning. You're drowning, You're drowning
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: in life. But you say, know what, man at, I'm
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: going to figure.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Out how to backstroke or something. When you quit your
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: mind sets, we're done.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't expand there's no expansion when you quit,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: when you say you this sucks. I'm drowning, I'm miserable,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I'm suffering, I'm broken, but I'm.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Not going anywhere. What happens to your mind is it
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: does this, It says he's not leaving.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So we got to expand, we gotta grow, We got
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to figure this thing out.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: We're only one percent away from true grace.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: There's a big difference between ninety nine percent and one hundred.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I always thought that I was given one hundred percent.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I wasn't, But I was only one percent from making
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: that money, from being where I want to be, from.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Having everything in life I've ever dreamed of. But it's
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that one percent that we sleep on. Is that one
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: percent that we wake up in that morning You're like,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you know what, not today, maybe tomorrow. Well guess what.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: That's why it's so easy to be great nowadays, because most.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Mothers are weak.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And if all you do is when you are trying
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to hit that month, this news, but on life, not
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in the morning, all life. Just know this, all the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it tastes is thinking about all those week mothers who are.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Taking a day off. And trust me, you will come
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: up real fast. Like I say, it's.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Easy to be great nowadays because mother is just weak,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: very soft.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I believe that he has to build belief.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Belief is like there's an after school special belief where
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the mom says, believe in yourself and that's all great,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but there's also a built belief and the build belief
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is one where you are constantly Like for me, I
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: came from a bad place. How I build belief is
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: through the daunting tasks I put myself through.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: So that's proof positive that I can. So it correlates.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And that's how this pieceous kid I once thought I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: was built belief by saying hmm, I was in three
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: hell weeks. I went to Ranger School. I tried out for.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Delta selection, undeniable stack of proof. That is proof mother.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: So whenever you think, whenever you think you can't, confidence
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: comes from the thing that you built. You must build belief.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You must build confidence. It can't be like, hey, I'm
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: gonna go knock that shit out. You got to look
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: over here and say I can knock that shit out.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: It's a belief and it's built on what you put
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in to yourself. And one thing I was able to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: do was to dream. I was able to dream outside
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: those four walls of that small town. And until you're
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: able to really put yourself into that dream.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But don't make dreams your master.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: That's where you truly become what you're destined to become.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: What you mean, don't make dreams your master. A lot
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: of people sit back and they dream about being a.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Sports figure, or dream about being a seal, or dream
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: about being an astronaut, and all it is is a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: mother dream. They don't put the work behind the dream.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: That dream has become their master. When you become the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: master of your dream is when you say I want
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to go be a Navy seal and you say, okay,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to lose one hundred and six pounds in
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: less than three months. The dream was the one thing
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I thought about, and the dream was now gone. Now
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: what comes in the dream goes away and the boundary
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: list of details and tasks come up. God, do this,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: got you this, got do this, got do this.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: That's when you.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Become the master of your dream. So a lot of
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: people out there dreaming, we are all great. No matter
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: if if you think you're dumb, no matter if you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: think you're fat, No matter if you are fat, no
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: matter if you've been bullied.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: We all have greatness. It just you gotta find the courage.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: You gotta find the courage to put your bows headphones
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: on and silence the noise out of this world. And
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to find it, you have to get in a quiet
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: place in your brain.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: We all live on our phones, we all live on.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Google, we all live and in this whole social media
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: world that I really hate.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I absolutely hate it. Why you can't find purpose because
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in your head there's a bunch of noise.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: When I was younger, growing up, they called me this,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: They called me that I had all that noise in there.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: The second I put on the kind of quote unquote
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: bows headphones and silence the.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Noise, I listen to my internal voice. Half of us
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: live our whole lives and never even listen to what
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the hell we want to do.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Get off the podcast, don't be on social media too much,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: cut out all the noise, get back to the mental lab.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: You don't know what you.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Want to be because you haven't spent time, real time
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: with yourself.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Spend time with yourself.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Trust me, and once you find that passion, that purpose,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: your goals, your purpose, everything when they start lining up,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and then you'll find the courage to start that journey.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: You have to believe that you are here on this
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: earth for a reason.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And if you don't believe that you're here for a reason,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: your life will seriously hurt. And I started looking at
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: my life and all this shit I went through as
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: God put me some God, whatever you believe in putting
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: me here to go through this. And now I see
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: all the hundreds of thousands of lives I'm changing by
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the hell I went through.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of power in that.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: So my purpose as I started going through this journey
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: instead of looking at.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Like woe is me? God?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Why the man? Why? I started looking as it's the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: perfect training ground. You knew exactly what you were doing.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: You knew exactly what you were doing.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You put me in every situation possible to tell a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: story that needs to be told. The reason why my
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: story resonates with people because I don't hide.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you exactly who I am. I will admit
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: People are great at hiding, so they wanted to find peace. No,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: you gotta take your ship, fix you up in. You
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: don't just shove it under rug. Fix it and then
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: you'll find some peace later. How the two or ninety
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: seven pounds concerts.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Guy who quit on everything is now considered one of
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the best man of the planet.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: How is that possible? It means I had to change
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: one thing my mindset.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I had to believe and make that belief work and
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: do hard work.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I did that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I also believe that we're going to end up one
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: day meeting a Maker, and I believe that Maker knows
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: everything about you, everything about you, knows else could be
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: here and is talking to you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: He knows everything. And the one thing that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Scares me to death in my life is getting to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: heaven and not being what else.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Supposed to be.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And I believe that God has a chart and he
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: looks at the chart and he's pushing it in front
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of you and get to heaven.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: He says, hey, this is what you're supposed to be.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: And one of my biggest fears in life was to
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: see that chart and not have every block checked off.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I want to make sure that I'm constantly
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: pursuing whatever it is I'm pursuing, just constantly grinding myself
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: into a fine powder.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: That's my purpose now, to continue to push myself so
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: others can see what is possible.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Let's say you're in the hospital bed and you're getting
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: ready to die, and somebody walks in the room and
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you have one copy of your book and it's sitting
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: right there on the table, and you're taking your last
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: breath and you're talking to this person. You say to them,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I want you to read this book as you're dying.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Think about this, that book that you just wrote, when
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it changed their life forever. And if it's not changed
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: their life forever, you have to rewrite your book.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I started writing it right now.
