- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's say you have no raceis let's say you have
- 0:03Speaker 1: no classes, no nothing, you have there's no purpose in
- 0:06Speaker 1: your life. You know, people need to have purpose to
- 0:09Speaker 1: get up, They need purpose to perform. You need to
- 0:11Speaker 1: get to a point in your life where there's nothing
- 0:14Speaker 1: on the docket.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I have a seventeen year old son.
- 0:16Speaker 1: A year ago, he was suicidal and in a really
- 0:19Speaker 1: bad place.
- 0:20Speaker 3: You saved his life.
- 0:21Speaker 4: So by listening to your books, this is a picture
- 0:25Speaker 4: of him a year ago.
- 0:27Speaker 2: I appreciate that this is a picture of him. Now, God,
- 0:30Speaker 2: all this kid was big, Ny is all ripped the
- 0:33Speaker 2: fuck up. That's about us. That's because of here.
- 0:39Speaker 1: If you're not constantly performing without purpose, you're not going
- 0:43Speaker 1: to be ready when a time comes. It's this magical
- 0:45Speaker 1: thing purpose that we're all looking for. But what's funny
- 0:48Speaker 1: about it all is that we need these things to perform,
- 0:52Speaker 1: but we don't take a second to realize the purpose
- 0:55Speaker 1: is always there. The purpose never leaves us because the
- 1:00Speaker 1: very purpose is you. You are always the purpose. There
- 1:04Speaker 1: may be another purpose like being a sealed or going
- 1:07Speaker 1: to college or whatever, but the main purpose of life
- 1:10Speaker 1: is you.
- 1:11Speaker 2: If you wake up in.
- 1:12Speaker 1: The morning and you don't want to do something you
- 1:15Speaker 1: don't care enough about yourself because you have to want it.
- 1:21Speaker 1: You have to want to be better. And it starts
- 1:24Speaker 1: off with you have to have pride of yourself. You
- 1:27Speaker 1: have to have pride of yourself.
- 1:29Speaker 2: You're gonna do it. You're gonna do it. You're gonna
- 1:31Speaker 2: do it, You're doing it.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Yeah, looking fucking you are people to connect with my
- 1:38Speaker 1: books so well. For some reason, God put me in
- 1:40Speaker 1: almost every fucked up situation on the planet Earth.
- 1:42Speaker 2: I believe the only way you can.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Everybody's looking for mental toughness, every athlete, everybody in the
- 1:47Speaker 1: world is looking for mental toughness. The only way you
- 1:50Speaker 1: gain mental toughness is to do things you're not happy doing.
- 1:54Speaker 2: If you continue doing things that you're.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Satisfied and to make you happy, you're not getting stronger.
- 1:59Speaker 1: You're staying where you're right. Either you're getting better, you're
- 2:01Speaker 1: getting worse, not staying the same. I'm continuing to look
- 2:04Speaker 1: in the mirror, look at the reflection. It's called the
- 2:06Speaker 1: accountability mirror. What have I've done today to improve? David
- 2:09Speaker 1: Gottins self disciplines everything. If you don't have it, I
- 2:13Speaker 1: don't look at you right because I know you're capable
- 2:14Speaker 1: of more. It's not disciplined so much for me. It's
- 2:18Speaker 1: all on you. It's all on you. The self part
- 2:22Speaker 1: is what's big. Where you're gonna fail and you're gonna
- 2:25Speaker 1: be in your head. You could be saying I'm not
- 2:27Speaker 1: good enough, and it's how you get through that.
- 2:30Speaker 2: It's how you.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Get through that on a daily basis. When that thing
- 2:33Speaker 1: is saying, man, I'm forty three, I've done so much,
- 2:36Speaker 1: you start to become civilized. The refrigerator gets full, you
- 2:40Speaker 1: start getting making money, and you start I'm not getting
- 2:43Speaker 1: cold anymore.
- 2:43Speaker 2: I'm retired. You start to believe this shit and it.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Becomes in your fucking mind, like there's people who are retiring,
- 2:49Speaker 1: you know, at forty something years old or thirty something
- 2:51Speaker 1: years old. At forty three, I'm still putting one hundred
- 2:53Speaker 1: mile weeks, still doing thousands of pull ups to thousands
- 2:56Speaker 1: of push ups, because I'm not allowing myself to become civilized.
- 3:00Speaker 1: The worst thing that can happen to a man has
- 3:02Speaker 1: become civilized.
- 3:03Speaker 2: You lose that fucking fight. You lose that Why the
- 3:06Speaker 2: fuck am I doing this shit?
- 3:07Speaker 1: I'm good? You ain't good, man. You ain't never fucking rived,
- 3:10Speaker 1: And that's just my mentality. You may have more, but
- 3:12Speaker 1: you never fucking arrived. You want to be uncommon and
- 3:15Speaker 1: must uncommon people. If you're in a fight, you have
- 3:17Speaker 1: to attack.
- 3:18Speaker 2: The enemy has to know he is not going to
- 3:21Speaker 2: give up. You must break the soul whatever the fuck.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Is in front of him.
- 3:24Speaker 5: When I was in the military, were go on these
- 3:27Speaker 5: instructor that runs.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Most of the time, we knew the starting endpoint. So
- 3:32Speaker 2: on the way back, I start seeing people.
- 3:34Speaker 5: Getting happy and shit because the end was near. But
- 3:38Speaker 5: there were some asshole instructors. They were here the happiness
- 3:43Speaker 5: and go right on past the endpoint. When that happened,
- 3:47Speaker 5: everybody stopped talking, heads to stopped dropping, and I start
- 3:51Speaker 5: taking fucking souls.
- 3:53Speaker 2: At that time, I knew what happened. In their minds.
- 3:56Speaker 2: They were living off.
- 3:57Speaker 5: The whole factor. They hoping the strutches will stop running.
- 4:02Speaker 5: They hope the water was never.
- 4:03Speaker 6: Cold, they hope the weather was fucking good.
- 4:06Speaker 2: I don't know that fout that whole shit. I wish
- 4:09Speaker 2: the water was cold.
- 4:11Speaker 6: I wish their motherfucking the strutches keep off fucking running.
- 4:14Speaker 6: I wish the fucking running When the ind is unknown
- 4:18Speaker 6: and the distance is unknown, not say you know where
- 4:21Speaker 6: the fuck you are.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Stay hard.
- 4:24Speaker 1: So that's why I came with a thing called taking
- 4:25Speaker 1: souls in my book. I started to devise ways to
- 4:29Speaker 1: break a soul, of a human being, of the object,
- 4:33Speaker 1: of whatever's in front of me. If you keep on
- 4:35Speaker 1: attacking something, nothing wants to stand in front of anything
- 4:39Speaker 1: that is relentless nothing.
- 4:42Speaker 2: It brings me back.
- 4:44Speaker 7: Well, now, three hundred plounds trying to lose fucking weight
- 4:47Speaker 7: to get the Navy seals.
- 4:49Speaker 3: My goal was to go on, how the plan my
- 4:52Speaker 3: clouds go out there and run four fucking miles. But
- 4:55Speaker 3: guess what, everybody's got a fucking plan, So they get
- 4:58Speaker 3: hit in the fucking mouth. That's where Mike Tyson. So
- 5:01Speaker 3: when your client fails, when post a fucking lass get.

- 5:17Speaker 1: Fucking part make up your own mission statement, what do
- 5:22Speaker 1: you want to be in life?
- 5:24Speaker 2: And once you do that, now you.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Can work with somebody to get better. You can work
- 5:28Speaker 1: with yourself to get better.
- 5:29Speaker 2: But until you know what you want.
- 5:31Speaker 1: To stand for, you always just be sitting down. You'll
- 5:35Speaker 1: never stand for anything.
- 5:37Speaker 8: If you're panting it down here you seas about three
- 5:39Speaker 8: o'clock in the morning, and there's not a car or
- 5:42Speaker 8: a person in site. If you're paying over here, it's
- 5:45Speaker 8: the same thing, not a car or a person inside.
- 5:49Speaker 8: People want to know where I find my strength, at
- 5:51Speaker 8: where I get my strength. I get it from a
- 5:52Speaker 8: lot of places, but right now, this morning, I'm getting
- 5:55Speaker 8: it from.

- 6:05Speaker 1: I'm loving that.
- 6:05Speaker 8: Where everybody is getting weaker, I'm getting stronger. It's not
- 6:08Speaker 8: about to run and to swim in to push up
- 6:10Speaker 8: to sit ups. It's about what those things do for
- 6:13Speaker 8: your mentality. You don't get better on the dad gone couch.
- 6:16Speaker 1: You get better by coming out here and getting the
- 6:18Speaker 1: fuck after every dag gone day, stay hard.
- 6:22Speaker 2: There has to be something.
- 6:23Speaker 1: This is This is what I'm talking about now, because
- 6:26Speaker 1: this isn't a hack.
- 6:28Speaker 2: This has to be in you, something in you has
- 6:31Speaker 2: to wake up, and usually the only person that can
- 6:34Speaker 2: make it up iss you.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Sometimes you can read a David Gagin's book because I
- 6:37Speaker 1: was all this shit and then a lot more fucked up.
- 6:40Speaker 1: But if you don't have a little flame, you know,
- 6:43Speaker 1: just that, just barely, if you're done.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I can't I can't light it for you.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And that's the harsh reality of this life that I
- 6:51Speaker 1: want to get across so fucking bad.
- 6:54Speaker 2: You can watch me, you can watch you.
- 6:56Speaker 1: You can watch fucking Rogan, Cameron Hanes, all these motherfuckers.
- 6:58Speaker 1: You can go to Tony Robinsons fucking bullshit, all this shit,
- 7:02Speaker 1: do all this shit.
- 7:04Speaker 2: If you you could keep going back and keep spending
- 7:07Speaker 2: money and spending money and spending money with.
- 7:09Speaker 1: No results, you're gonna wonder, Wow, maybe let me go
- 7:12Speaker 1: try out David Goggins.
- 7:14Speaker 2: He ain't gonna fucking help you. You have to explore,
- 7:18Speaker 2: examine the insides of yourself and what do you really
- 7:22Speaker 2: want in the life.
- 7:23Speaker 9: One of the keys of my success in life was
- 7:25Speaker 9: I was able to see myself at the end of
- 7:28Speaker 9: a very difficult task before I even started it. When
- 7:33Speaker 9: I was two ninety seventy out of shape and the
- 7:36Speaker 9: freight of water. I was able to see myself at
- 7:40Speaker 9: graduation as a Navy seal.
- 7:43Speaker 2: But as time went on, I kept gonna.
- 7:46Speaker 7: Getting rolled back to day one, and every day got
- 7:50Speaker 7: longer longer.
- 7:51Speaker 10: So what I had to do was I had to
- 7:54Speaker 10: take this big chunk and they get small.
- 7:56Speaker 2: So I became the master of the one day that
- 8:00Speaker 2: I was living. We got to do that.
- 8:02Speaker 9: Now we don't know where the end of Chivenent is,
- 8:05Speaker 9: so we gotta.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Mastered that one day. It makes you want to get.
- 8:09Speaker 10: Pushed back day after day, be mastered that day, and.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Want to be harder and stronger. You'll figure it out to.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Say, oh, you have to envision something that is more
- 8:21Speaker 1: powerful than you. Something has to get you out of bed,
- 8:25Speaker 1: and you have to create it.
- 8:26Speaker 2: It has to be false because you're not it.
- 8:29Speaker 1: You're a fat piece of shit, and that's the reality.
- 8:32Speaker 1: So you have to create a false reality to live
- 8:36Speaker 1: in that just to get to work on yourself. That's
- 8:40Speaker 1: the reality.
- 8:41Speaker 11: Life will not always be seventy and sunny. Life is
- 8:44Speaker 11: the alternate competitor. It's relentless. It will continue to attack
- 8:50Speaker 11: who we at least expected. You must learn to adapt
- 8:54Speaker 11: and overcome the any and all obstacles that in front
- 8:57Speaker 11: of us. Have to evolved, And the way I evolved
- 9:03Speaker 11: was I changed.
- 9:04Speaker 7: My diet has started, do a lot more cross streaming.
- 9:10Speaker 7: Now I'm gonna get some fun of you. Don't let stop. You,
- 9:14Speaker 7: don't let the joke. You not get around that motherfucker.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I want you to learn that the only way you
- 9:22Speaker 1: grow is how to look at yourself and say, okay,
- 9:25Speaker 1: like I did table longer than this, and what the
- 9:28Speaker 1: fuck I have to do to get somewhere.
- 9:29Speaker 2: I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Well, basically, I'm not this, I'm not this, I'm not this,
- 9:35Speaker 1: I can't this, I can't do this, I'm all these insecurities.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Your life finally started when you said to the otherly
- 9:40Speaker 1: mirror and say I'm this, this, some this and this.
- 9:42Speaker 1: You finally started your life. But most of all, your
- 9:45Speaker 1: biggest fears, the biggest things that put you in the
- 9:47Speaker 1: fuck the place you are today, are in there.
- 9:50Speaker 2: So we all have to keep them shut.
- 9:52Speaker 1: You would like to lock them up, act like they
- 9:54Speaker 1: never happened, that they never grow, You never improve, You
- 9:57Speaker 1: never have real conversations like we're having right now out
- 10:00Speaker 1: never never oh no, no, no, no no no, let's
- 10:04Speaker 1: not no no no, let's not go there.
- 10:05Speaker 2: You gotta relive it, every fucking detail of it.
- 10:09Speaker 1: You can't be oh yeah, yeah, my dad.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Beat me and they you know, you know, it is
- 10:14Speaker 2: what it is.
- 10:15Speaker 1: It is what it is. Motherfucker's it's killing you. It's
- 10:18Speaker 1: taking over your whole fucking life. But that's the conversay. Yeah,
- 10:21Speaker 1: my dad, I'm fine now though, I'm good, Okay, all right, No,
- 10:24Speaker 1: you're right, you ain't fine. Human beings want to show
- 10:27Speaker 1: you the best side and they want to hide the
- 10:29Speaker 1: worst side. For me, I'm gonna teach you how to
- 10:32Speaker 1: be vulnerable because that's the only way you fix yourself.
- 10:36Speaker 12: So there's different leadership styles. One right now is in
- 10:39Speaker 12: this week of society, it's the instant gratification. Give a
- 10:43Speaker 12: peal of the beat the second they do anything, show
- 10:46Speaker 12: them that they're doing a good job. Guess what, there's
- 10:49Speaker 12: a lot of these and life. They don't deserve a
- 10:51Speaker 12: pound the back. A peal of the beat comes when
- 10:53Speaker 12: you overachieve things that you're supposed.
- 10:56Speaker 2: To do in life.
- 10:57Speaker 12: There's a lot of these we're supposed to do, We're
- 10:59Speaker 12: supposed to be a fucking best. We're supposed to get
- 11:01Speaker 12: it early. We're supposed to work out, we're supposed to
- 11:04Speaker 12: be uncomfortable, we're supposed to do all these fucking things
- 11:07Speaker 12: that people are now looking for a fucking pounding the back.
- 11:11Speaker 12: How about this leadership style instead that people buying into
- 11:14Speaker 12: the fucking pillnding the back. Bind into this shit right here,
- 11:17Speaker 12: find into the fact that guess what is that looking
- 11:19Speaker 12: for pound the back? Maybe look at being a better
- 11:21Speaker 12: teen person.
- 11:22Speaker 2: They look at better self, then look at doing a
- 11:24Speaker 2: better family, all this other shit, look at being the person.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Then you're not looking for pound the back.
- 11:30Speaker 12: But you're beating from the front. Knowing one thing, as
- 11:32Speaker 12: as human being, we're supposed to do these things.
- 11:35Speaker 2: I didn't teach myself victory first.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I taught myself failure. I taught myself how to fail.
- 11:41Speaker 1: And people like that's so depressing, is it? When you're
- 11:45Speaker 1: three hundred pounds and you can't read and write and
- 11:47Speaker 1: you're fucked up? How many times you're gonna fucking fail
- 11:50Speaker 1: on that process? So if you don't know how to fail,
- 11:54Speaker 1: there is no victory.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Motherfuckers. Look for respiration. It's price's balance. And every first
- 12:01Speaker 2: step to take every.
- 12:03Speaker 5: Dress, that fucking iron bar, all that shit.
- 12:07Speaker 2: All the miles in the pool. It's braces found and suffering.
- 12:12Speaker 6: So right now this is.
- 12:14Speaker 2: My Grady's recovery.
- 12:16Speaker 3: As I recover, I find inspiration, stay hard.
- 12:22Speaker 1: I will have normal everyday people picking me apart all
- 12:26Speaker 1: his life is miserable. Who wants to live like that?
- 12:29Speaker 1: He looks, it's crazy how he's so almost.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Like he's sick.
- 12:32Speaker 1: He's psychotic because human beings need to hear this. Then
- 12:36Speaker 1: he stop hearing these hacks on this and that. There's
- 12:40Speaker 1: no fucking hack, bro, there's no fucking hack. Yeah, you
- 12:43Speaker 1: may this and that and saunas and all this shit
- 12:47Speaker 1: that they Yeah, it's great. There is no fucking life
- 12:50Speaker 1: hack to grow that thing. And how do you grow it?
- 12:53Speaker 1: Do it and do it and do it and do it.
- 12:58Speaker 2: That's the hack.
- 12:59Speaker 1: The hack is the fucking suck. And that's what I realized.
- 13:03Speaker 1: That's what I realized, Like, that's why I wanted to
- 13:05Speaker 1: come on here today.
- 13:06Speaker 2: I didn't want to come on here on top.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I know fucking passion and purpose and how to get
- 13:10Speaker 1: the fuck out of bed and how to get a
- 13:12Speaker 1: fucking alarm clock and all this catchphrase bullshit, because that.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Wasn't how I lived. Only how I lived I lived.
- 13:21Speaker 2: I woke up like every human being does, and goes, fuck, man,
- 13:24Speaker 2: I'm a fucking piece of shit today. How the hell
- 13:26Speaker 2: is this gonna work out for me? And you fight that.
- 13:29Speaker 13: Growing up, my dad did a good job of dehumanizing me.
- 13:33Speaker 2: He didn't care as much.
- 13:34Speaker 7: How I thought or how I felt.
- 13:37Speaker 2: So when I saw the military.
- 13:39Speaker 11: Uniform when I was growing up, I thought to myself,
- 13:42Speaker 11: if I can get that.
- 13:42Speaker 7: Uniform on, I would find honor and were in the uniform.
- 13:47Speaker 13: So now only did I want to be in the military,
- 13:51Speaker 13: I wanted to be in special lots. But I realized
- 13:55Speaker 13: to be in special lots, you gotta know how to swim.
- 13:59Speaker 2: So I got a house. Your book on swimming. The
- 14:02Speaker 2: first page is easy Float. So went to the pool.
- 14:06Speaker 13: Try to float, I say.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Right down to the bottom.
- 14:09Speaker 11: I realize I was a negative boy.
- 14:10Speaker 2: In as hell. The more I failed, the more my
- 14:14Speaker 2: father's words were creep into.
- 14:16Speaker 4: My mind about how I'm not good enough, all this
- 14:18Speaker 4: other bullshit he said to dehumanize me. As time went on,
- 14:22Speaker 4: I started realizing the more I did it quit, the.
- 14:26Speaker 10: More self respect I gave it and the power with
- 14:31Speaker 10: all mine. In life, it's important to do one thing.
- 14:36Speaker 10: Many people will try to dehumanize you. It's up to
- 14:40Speaker 10: you to find self respect in d D, in your self.
- 14:45Speaker 10: You don't need a uniform to have honor. You need
- 14:48Speaker 10: to have pride in yourself.
- 14:50Speaker 2: When when when, When this voice over here, the real you.
- 14:56Speaker 2: They're saying, get the fuck out of here. Go You're nobody.
- 15:01Speaker 2: You've always been nobody, And it's true. People don't hear that,
- 15:07Speaker 2: that's a true voice.
