  Speaker 2: guy who does the most pull ups and most situps, runs.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: The most, just the person who's able to overcome any.

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Hardness isn't about all this physical man, Yeah, it helped
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: me get to where I'm at, But all I was
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: doing in the whole process the process want to be ripped.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I want to walk around my shirt off. That wasn't it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I knew through the physical challenges, through the physical suffering,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: my mind was getting stronger. I was literally doing that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for a reason. I had a weak mind. All the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: rest has happened to come with it. I was trying
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to strengthen the mind to handle all the judgment that's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: passed on me, perceived and not. Sometimes you make it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: up in your own.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Head, you know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I just want to be able to handle all of that,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: everything physical, mental.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I want to be perceived as that, like an.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Old school Barbarian, an old school God's like God, damn man,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: nothing can hurt the guy, which is why the book
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is titled.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Can't hurt Me.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I want people to have that mantra in their life.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Take that with you, take it everywhere you go in life.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And if you believe that, and you work towards that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: callous in your mind, strengthen yourself. Can't hurt me is
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: strong in any situation like Wnen I's in buzz, they
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: beat this out of you. I'd be the first one
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to give and say they can't hurt me. My mother
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and they were beating the hell out of me.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: But you say that enough to you. False motivation becomes
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a real motivation.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: After a while. They can't see themselves doing it. They
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: can't see themselves doing it. It's one big reason. The
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: other reason is a lot of it is jealousy. When
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you set these humongous and.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Goals and they see that you're getting at it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And every morning I'm getting up training for a Torgent
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: mile run and you see me get at four o'clock.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: In the morning and all you kers are sleeping, And by.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: The time I get them running by thirty, I come
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: home just getting up. How are you gonna feel about yourself?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: A lot of times when you're overachiever. A lot of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: our family members. A lot of our friends, they're mediocre.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: There's always those couple of guys who are uncommon who
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: want to be better. But you make that mediocre mother
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: feel like shit. Whether it's your mom, your dad, whoever,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you make him feel horrible.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I've been there. I'm speaking from experience.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You get somebody around you, man, who's trying to be better,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and you don't have the drive that they have. It's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a constant reminder of how stup you are. You have
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to know that that's what it is. Anybody in your
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: course and not saying, man, get after it, brother, I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: so proud of you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: They have a problem with themselves because all you trying
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to do is achieve more. If that's a problem for somebody, you.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Have to look at them and say, man, you really
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have a problem with yourself. Huh. It's much deeper than
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: what you think. It lies deep in your soul. How
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is itble to fix myself? Was I saw how ugly
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I was towards other people who were great. I was
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: able to look back and say, man, you don't hate
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that much for any reason. Because he's great and you're lazy.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: You're lazy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: He makes you feel like shit. Every single day. It's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: where it comes from.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You gotta know.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You have to know where it comes from to be
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: able to solve it. If you look in the mirror
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and see a fat person, don't tell yourself that you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: need to lose a couple of pounds. Tell the truth
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you're fat. It's okay just say you're fat. If you're fat,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the dirty mirror that you see every day is going
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to tell you the truth every time. So why are
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you still lying to yourself so you can feel better
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for a few minutes and stay the same. If you're fat,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you need to change the fact that you're fat because
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it's very unhealthy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I know because I've been there.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: If you have worked for thirty years doing the same
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: stupid job you've hated day in and day out because
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you were afraid to quit and take a risk, you've
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: been living like a coward, period point blank. Tell yourself
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the truth that you've wasted enough time and that you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: have other dreams that will take courage to realize. So
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you don't die a coward. Call yourself out. Nobody likes
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to hear the hard truth individually, and as a culture,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we avoid what we need to hear most.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: This world is messed up.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: There are major problems in our society. We are still
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: dividing ourselves up along racial and cultural lines, and people
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: don't have the stomach to hear it. The truth is
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: racism and bigotry still exist, and some people are so
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: thin skin they refuse to admit that. But if you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: are the only and you aren't stuck in some real
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: world genocidal twilight zone, you better get real too. Life
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is not messed up because of overt racists or hidden
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: systemic racism. You aren't missing out on opportunities, making no
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: money and getting evicted because of America or Donald Trump,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: or because your ancestors were slaves, or because some people
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: hate immigrants or Jews, or harass women or believe gay
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: people are gonna hell. If any of that stuff is
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: stopping you from excelling.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: In life, I've got some news.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You are stopping you. You are giving up instead of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: getting hard. Tell the truth about the real reasons for
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: your limitations, and you will turn that negativity, which is real,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: into jet fuel. Those odds stacked against you will become
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a runway.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: There is no more time.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: To waste hours and days evaporate like creeks in the desert.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: That's why it's okay to be cruel to yourself as
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: long as you realize you're doing it to become better.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: We all need thicker skin to improve in life. Being
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: so off when you're look in the mirror isn't going
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to inspire the wholesale changes we need to shift our
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: present and open up our future. I'm not teaching good
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: side of life, so I had to figure out a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: way when I came out in field sixteen of teaching
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you what life really is for the majority of us
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: as hell.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: And so while.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: People love to show you the cars and the house
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and the vacations and all that's good, all that's happy,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to show you decide that I know most
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of your going through and people hide very well. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to hide anymore. I hit it for twenty
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: four years. That's why now I told you we can
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: talk about whatever you want. Because as human beings, the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: one the first thing we have to learn also study
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: real bad growing up. So if you hear me study
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: every now and then, is because that was part of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: my life also. So it's funny human beings want to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: show you the best side, and they want to hide
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the worst side for me.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna teach you how to be vulnerable, because that's
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the only way you fix yourself.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You don't fix yourself by coming out here and me
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: selling you some books.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: That's why I don't have them. I forgot them.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I'm glad people got something from the book. I want
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you to learn that the only way you grow is
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: how to look at yourself and say, okay, like I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: did table longer than.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: This, what the I have to do to get somewhere?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: There was nothing good on there.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Nothing. Yeah, I loved playing basketball. I left that out.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That's something I love to do. I don't care about that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: That didn't make the list because the list that I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: had to live by was the very list that was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to get me at this table with you, to talk
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to you, to the normal human beings.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Was I once was.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: About how you can get somewhere and how it looks
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: looks very ugly. There's no freaking passion, no freaking motivation.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: There's no oh my god, man, I fuck this is
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: no it's every day of your life just doing no passion,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: no discipline, no motivation, all these words.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I hate people. I hate that so many people can
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: use these words because it's it's watered.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It's someone sitting in the room by themselves and they
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: figure themselves out and say, God, this is gonna fucking
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: suck worse passion when you're three hundred pounds. Where's the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: motivation where you can't read and write?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Where is it?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So?
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: How did this happen?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I just fing did?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I just did.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I said maybe at the end of this journey, there'll
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: be something there for me. If not, I can read.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: If not, I'm a hundred eighty fucking pounds. There's no
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: there was there was, there's no magic potion. There's no Oh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: let me wake up and look at some No, all those.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Words are overused, they're bullshit.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: It's all.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Just do you're living? How do you want to live?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: How do you want to die? How do you want
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: to be remembered? That's that's it. That's it period.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Some criticize my level of passion, but I'm not down
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: with the prevailing mentalities that tend to dominate American society
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: these days, the ones that tell us to go with
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the flow or invite us to learn how to get
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: more with less effort.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: That shortcut bullshit.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The reason I embrace my own obsessions and demand and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: desire more of myself is because I've learned that it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: only when I push beyond pain and suffering past my
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: perceived limitations, that I'm capable of accomplishing more physically and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: mentally in endurance races, but also in life as a whole.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And I believe the same is true for you. The
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: human body is like a stock car. We may look
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: different on the outside, but under the hood, we all
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: have huge reservoirs of potential and a governor impeding us
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: from reaching our maximum velocity. In a car, the governor
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: limits the flow of fuel and air so it doesn't
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: burn too hot, which.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Places a ceiling on performance. It's a hardware issue.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: The governor can easily be removed, and if you disable yours,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: watch your car.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Rocket beyond one hundred and thirty miles per hour. It's
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: a souther process. In the human animal, our governor is
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: buried deep.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: In our minds, intertwined with our very identity. It knows
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: what and who we love and hate. It's read our
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: whole life story and forms the way we see ourselves
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and how we'd like to be seen. It's the software
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that delivers personalized feedback in the form of pain and exhaustion,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: but also fear and insecurity, and it uses all of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that to encourage us to stop before we risk it all.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing. It doesn't have absolute control.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Unlike the governor and an engine, ours can't stop us
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: unless we buy into its bulk and agree to quit.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Sadly, most of us give up.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: We've only given around forty percent of our maximum effort.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Even when we feel like we've reached our absolute limit,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: we still have sixty percent more to give.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: That's the governor in action.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Once you know that to be true, it's simply a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: matter of stretching your pain tolerance, letting go of your
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: identity and all your self limiting stories, so you can
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: get to sixty percent, than eighty percent and beyond without
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: giving up.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I call this the.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Forty rule, and the reason it's so powerful is that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: if you follow it, you will unlock your mind to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: new levels of performance and excellence in sports, in life,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and your rewards will run far deeper than mere material success.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The forty rules can be applied to everything we do,
