  Speaker 1: People can take doubt one or two ways. You know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: some people get delivered down from someone else and that
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: absolutely makes them crumble, cripples them. They stop chasing their dreams,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: they start believing the doubt express from someone else. For me,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it works differently, and as soon as I hear that,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it gives me more energy to prove them wrong.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You can sit around and wait for stuff to happen.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I can get out there and make things happen. And
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: that is massively important in any walk of life. It
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: don't matter who you are or what you do. You've
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: got to get after it. You've got to chase it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: You've got to make it up in yourself because now
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: it's going to get gifted to you, you're gonna have
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to work for it. And those people are working, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: those people are are you grinding and they are going
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the extra hour, doing the extra mile.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: They're the ones that are going to be at the top.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Don't make yourself fall short. You know, it's it's so
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: easy to accept that nothing is going to happen for you.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You know that you're just going to be another number.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: That's the easiest way, you know, get a job nine
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: till five and that's easy, you know. It's it's accept
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: that something can happen that you have to put the work,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: and it's just don't be scared of hard work. Let
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: that fire that you've got on your belly, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: translate into something good. You know, if you've got that
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: passion and that drive, don't ever stop. You know, if
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: you stop, I guarantee you, like, if you stop when
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: you're twenty, by the time you're forty, you're going to
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: resent whatever that reason was you stop.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Nobody knows how Clay but me are a lot of
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: people go, Adam, I couldn't do what you do. Yes,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: you can if you want it enough.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: And I say how much you want it?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Are you willing to go through discomfort of it?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Are you willing to face your phase and potentially failure?
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: All comes back to failure everything, So what's the true fear?
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Fire?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And once you conface filia in the eye, then
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: you're indestructible.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: I think having a purpose is that thing that.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Makes us tick, that gets us up every day and
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: gets us over the hump of opposition and adversity. And
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: the reason that I champion adversity in opposition is because
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: I think for the most part in life, people pretty
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: much know what to do when things go right, right like,
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: when things go right, they know how to feel, they
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: know how to act, how to react. But it's when
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: that opposition and that adversity comes and it creates a
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: level of misunderstanding. Right now the vision is blurred. Now
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: you don't have clarity about what you're supposed to do.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Now you question if your existence matters. And I think
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: when you have a purpose, it's powerful because in the
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: midst of the opposition, it makes you realize that you've
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: been put here for a certain reason. And so me,
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: once I tap into my purpose of once I thought
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: it was football, right, but when I started speaking I'll
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: never forget to day, I got the exact same feeling
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: backstage that I used to get before I ran out on.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: The field to play football.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: And that's when I knew, like, this is my purpose,
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: this is what I've been put here to do. And
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: so the opposition, adversity to challenge is it's just a
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: part of the process. It's going to make me a
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: better person. But my purpose, I can't let anything stop
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: will detour me.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: If you want an easy life, I'm fine, man. It's
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: not going to be a rewarding you know, doing something
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: easy you get a lot of reward from it. Doing
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: something hard and succeeding doing the mat ofthm, climbing Mount Everest,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: lefting five hundred kilos, putting two hundred and thirty kilos
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: above your head, those are extremely hard things to do.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: But the reward is never ending, you know, making that
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: historic left, the historic whatever is never ending, you know.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: So for Tom and I, strongest brothers in history, first
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: brothers in history to ever meet the world's strongest man final,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that's never the ending.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Everything we do in life is about taking the short
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: term discomfort, you know, and that whether that's sending an
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: extra email, staying a bit longer at work, whatever it is.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: If you want to achieve goal, let's say you want
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to run the London Marathon, you know that every week
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to do some training to achieve that,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and that is about, Yeah, you're not going to want
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to by the time it comes to point your trainings
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: on going out the door, your mind's going to tell
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you and enforce every reason why you shouldn't do it,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and it's devious. It'll tell you to gone and check
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: your computer, do this, do that, and that's when we
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: have to switch this off. You have to switch the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: mind off and follow the process. And that's something that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I learned from an early age, but something that was
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: further enforced in the military. You have to follow process,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: follow your heart, switch off this which is the program,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and that through that you will achieve your own If
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you can take care at the small stuff. You know
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: about doing everything, whether that's washing the before you go
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to bed at night so you don't come down to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a whole mess in the kitchen, whatever it is, making
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: your bed in the morning, simple things. If you can
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: do the simple things, the big stuff takes care of itself.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: That I felt as if if I do this well,
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: I can get my family in a better situation. If
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: I do this well, I can get my mother off
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: the double shift that windys.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: If I do this well, I can get my own bed.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: If I do this well, I can get my grandmother
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: a better living condition. If I do this well, maybe
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: I can stop my uncle's from selling drugs.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You know what, You've got like a devil and an
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: angel on your shoulder all the time, and not devil
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: just needs to knock it off. Because you're always going
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to have these doubts, you know what. I come in here.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Some days I'll be training for a fight, and I'll
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: train three days and on I'll be on fire, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I'll have one bad day, which is expected when you're
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: doing like an eight week camp or anything like that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: You have one bad day, and that bad day outweighs
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the good three days by a mile, and I'll go
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: on thinking, what am I doing here? I'm going to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: get better in this fight. But then you come back
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in the next morning, you have one good session again,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and that doubt's gone again. So it's hard to get
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: rid of them demons. And I think any athlete who
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: says that they never have any sort of doubts, he's lying.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I think everyone's got one that creeps in somewhere. But
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: it's the ones who just managed to just push them
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: on one side and keep the tunnel vision and keep
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the What I do is I visualize after the fight.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I don't visualize what's going to happen in the fight,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: because I never know. I just always visualize what it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: like to win after the fight, what I'll be doing
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: after the fight, how I'll feel after the fight, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I think doing that that always helps you stand mentally strong.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, I adversually always prepare you. You know, you have
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: to go through those things in order to see the
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: light at the dinner of the tunnel. You know, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: don't think anything is going to just be like this
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: throughout your life. You know, you have to go through
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: their difficult overcome obscure, you know, because it's a testament
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: of your character, of who you are and how you
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: able to deal with certain things. I know, to get
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: yourself back on it playing field.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It's that mission, that goal that would always focus on,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: because if you don't have a focus on a goal
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: or a mission, and this is generally in life, you
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: will find that you end up becoming a victim of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: your circumstances. You get lost in the journey, something happens,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: something major happens, and you become a victim of your
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: circumstances because you've got nothing bigger pulling you through. So really,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: for me, it's all always been about the fact that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I visualize where I want to be. When times are tough,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: when times are hard, when things are going really wrong,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I've visualize I've got a vision of where I want
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to be and it's that one thing that pulls me
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: through and I don't get bogged down in the situation.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Pain's got to go away at some point. So what
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: it means to me is it's a process you have
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: to go through to make you stronger. Everybody goes through it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: It's going to come into your life as long as
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: you're ready for it. As long as you're prepared to
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: go through it, then it'll change and it'll give you
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: success when you.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Have to rise above the pan out. Everyone feels pain.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: There's not like person out there as a terminator or
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: everyone does. It is just how you deal with the pain.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And that's what the makes the difference.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Either somebody is in the midst of adversity or just
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: came out of adversity, or won't be long before they
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: heading two adversity. So you need to be prepared either way,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: and so we all go through adversity opposition. I think
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: that's the thing that makes us all in common as people, right,
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: no matter if you're from London, Atlanta, Florida, California, New York, like,
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: we're all going to go through something at some point
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: a phase in our life, right, And as cliche as
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: it sounds, when the quote says it's never about what
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: happens to you, it's about how you respond to it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: That's very true, right. But in the same sense, I
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: think what's.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Most important is when we go through something, what's the
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: perspective that we have of it?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Because for most people, when you go through something, the person's.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Natural perspective is Okay, what did I lose? Right? What
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: happened to me? Like I took a loss.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Right, people never look at it and say, okay, man,
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: tell me what did you gain? Right, even though I
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: know it hurt you didn't want to go through it,
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: but look at it in a way to where you
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: can say, what's the lesson in this?
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: What would you say? Life is trying to teach you
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: from dealing with this?
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: And so when I went through it, my perspective was, Okay,
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: what can I extract from it to apply to other
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: areas and aspects of my life that I feel can
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: help other people?
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: And I firmly believe the quicker.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: You can shift your perspective from yourself to others when
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: you're in the midst of adversity, the quicker you'll get
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: through it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: Martin Luther King has a quote that says life's most
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: persistent and urgent question is what are you doing to
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: help other people? Now, I'm not telling you to not
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: acknowledge your pain.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying that. I'm not telling you not to say, man,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: I'm going through this in this heart. I'm not saying that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: I'm saying when you go.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Through it, look at it, step back from the picture
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: and say, Okay, I'm dealing with this. Nine out of
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: ten times is somebody else that's either dealt with it
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: or are they gonna deal with something similar to this?
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: And if I deal with it in the right way,
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: I can use it to add value to lives of
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: other people.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Hold yourself accountable, you know, don't make these excuses. That's
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: hold yourself accountable. Don't make excuses, and just have some
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: pride in what you do. Know that it's possible. Just
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: believe in yourself. That's it's simple. Believe in yourself and
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: take pride in what you do doing ever, let anyone
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: shit that you can't do
