  Speaker 1: Sometimes all the voices are telling you the wrong shit man.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: But through years years not a podcast or listening to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a book or reading a book, years of sacrifice, of suffering,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of diligent pinpoint can work on what you want to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: do for yourself, not like, oh, let me just do
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a bunch of shit. Let me I want to be
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in every task possible, no pinpoint, what I want to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: do with my life. What happens is you have all
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: these voices that are telling you you're dumb and this
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: could be hard, but for some reason, you put so
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: much practice into you that you can ignore every one
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of them that are telling you you're not going to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: make it and still be able to make it because
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you have put the practice in that you know this
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: is the process. It's such a daunting task that all
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the voices are saying, though, but you still have the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: conviction that I know I can do this.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: And that's what it took for me to get here.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Twenty thirty years ago.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I had this thirty five or whatever it was, twenty
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: five years ago pipe dream, and ever since then, every
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: voice was like, you're fucking nut.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But when you put that practice and every day you
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: lace them up and I mean run, It's just a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: metaphor for life. When you lace them motherfuckers up every day,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: pretty soon you win. Pretty soon, you'll win.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: If you have the currors and the heart and the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: dedication and the mindset about everybody.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Go for themselves. I know what I know. I've listened
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to myself enough to know I know what I know.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: None of you can hear what I'm hearing. And that's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what people don't do enough of. They don't listen to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: their journey to everybody else's before you know it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I'm crazy. But if I'm so crazy, why am I
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: so successful? How that happened? I'm so.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Misguided and missing up and don't listen to him? Why
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: am I the only one to do a whole bunch
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of shit? Why am I trailblazer?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Why? How is that possible?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: How can you be fed up and also self made
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the same? No, No, obviously you're not looking at the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: truth in front of you.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: The truth in front.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Of you is it sucks, it's painful, it's fucking mind numbing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And that is the truth.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And that's why a lot of people don't like listening
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to me, because this is what it takes creating another voice,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and sometimes going at it alone, all the time, going
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: at alone because no one's gona believe in you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That's that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Don't you think that your happiness is probably elevated by.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: The amount of pain that you've gone through one hundred percent.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: So the amount of suffering that you understand, the amount
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: of pain that you've gone through, makes you appreciate the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: happiness and the beautiful moments with much more intensity.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: That's what weak people miss about my story. Weak people
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: hear this soft kid, Oh my god, he must be miserable.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, What the hell with them? You're missing
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the story. You're not listening to the story. Man, Look
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: what I overcame.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: If that isn't put some badge of honor tattooed in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: your fucking brain for the rest of your life, you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: can die today talking to Joe Rogan.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You're missing the story. Man, Am I happy? What the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: do you think? Don't miss it?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Don't misunderstand the passion in which I speak for not
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: being intensely happy, happiest person in the world.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But I'm not done, so I'm.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Not gonna speak to you like, oh man, everything is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: great now. I have a lot more shit to do.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: A lot more to do well.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: This is in the same use of the word that
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you used, the warriors mentality, the warrior's life right. This
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: is the way that you can keep balanced and sane, right,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and keep a good grip on who you are period.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: And like there's a quote that was said.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: This guy said going into combat, going into war, the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: one hundred men that go into war tensioning can be there.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Eighty of them are just targets. Nine do most of fighting.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: One is a warrior. And it's a true quote to life.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I saw it going through training. I saw it everywhere
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I went.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: There's so many people who just show up to life
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that shouldn't even can be around, and there's.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: A few people who do all the work. I wanted
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to be part of that nine. And I'm working towards
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: being that one.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Every morning starts with the run, and that's because that's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the one thing I hate to do more than any
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: thing in the world.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So that's like my cup of coffee. And I'm all
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: about armoring yourself.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: So the second you leave your house and the second
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you open your phone, the second you do any of that,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you are now letting them poison in cancer.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: So I make sure a lot of things you can't avoid.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So as I get up, I start to armor plate
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: my mind and body like a person's going to war
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: who puts your body armor on. That's what I'm doing
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on that run. I'm waking up and I'm giving myself
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: all this armor. So when i come out in the world,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: now look at that phone, I'm ready.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not waking up late.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not rushing around. I'm not disorganized because i know
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get hit in the fucking mouth.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: There's an art to getting hit in the fucking mouth.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And that is why these things are important. You have
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to wake up and you have to give your self belief.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You have to give your self confidence. So it starts
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: with that run. So after the run, I come home,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I eat something small.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: How long is the run typically at the moment.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Nowhere under twelve miles, So twelve miles is the minimum?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: And what are you getting that done? In hell Loo?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: It depends right now.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm running a heart rate, so I'm running like eight
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: fifteen's eight thirties because I'm retraining right now because it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that zone two for you, zone two because of the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: lake surgery I had. So I'm going back starting from scratch,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: so anywhere from about an hour thirty to two hours.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I'll run every day, so you're fasted on the morning, yes,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: straight out, straight out, ninety minutes to two hours of
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: running back eight.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Eat and I'm in the gym, so and then after that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: To whatever's on the plan for the day. That's how
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that works. Every day.

  Speaker 4: eight hours, but you'd need to with a volume seven

  Speaker 4: Yep, that's one hell of a.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Day, it is. And it's been like that for seven years.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: But going back to what you said before about needing
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: to cap success, you wouldn't be able to fit even
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: one tenth of that in exactly if you were chasing down.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Exactly, that's exactly it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So if all that's stuff, that's why I got a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: cap success because I can't put that in and and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that's my growth factor, so you know, that's that's my
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: human growth factor. I realized I was. I realized I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was just sorry mother. You know, I quit Pair of Rescue.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I was free of the water. Every time she got hard,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I didn't have talent, you know, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: didn't have ship. Whenever she got hard for me, I
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: thought I was on my way out, and I got

  Speaker 1: back and visit this motherfucker. I haven't seen my dad
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: in years, man, years, but I knew where I came from.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I knew where my mindset came from. I knew where
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: my demons were. So my whole idea and I went
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: back to see my dad was I was hoping that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I could just fucking call myself a losing it's because
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of you, Dad. So I was hoping to go back
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and get the confirmation that I always wanted that wasn't
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: my fault. That voice in my head was so loud,
• 9:19
