• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You got to make the decision whether you want to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: be a badass or whether you just want to be mediocre.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: And everything's okay, but being a badass hurts real bad.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Life isn't fair at.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: All at all, So what are you gonna do about it?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't be fair. It's a tryout grounds, a testing ground.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's built to make us harder. It's sill to make
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: us as strong as we can, to test us, to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: drive us. So mentality is the.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Only thing that gets us through life.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I was an underdog. I knew that no one was
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: coming back to help me. No one's gonna miracle me
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to be somebody special. Everybody that called me my dad,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: my mom, all my situations were all me. Now it's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: solely on me. So I had to start developing an
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: indestructible mental toolbox, the.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Most powerful weapon in the world. We walk around with
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it so mine. You have to believe that you are
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: here for a reason, that for.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Some reason, me getting beat up, me getting torture, me
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: being boying, me being more, no foundation, me having to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: figure all this shit out on my own, figuring out
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: this indestructible mental toolbox. Had it be for a reason,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And My reason, I believe now I know for a fact,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was to unlock the code of human potential potentially and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for me to share that with people. I'm amazed at
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: what a human being can actually do. I literally made
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: this human being out of this like a whole bunch
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of scraps, and I started putting.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: This scrap metal together.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And after a while, I started running more and more
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and more through pain and suffer through all the failure
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I went through trying to build this person who's goggadized.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: The one thing that made me who I am today
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: is being vulnerable, is breaking myself down to the absolute
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: rock bottom and being able to tell people who I am.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And that's how I fixed it. Literally looks somebody in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: their eyes saying, know what, man, I have a whole
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: bunch of character problems, character flaws. I've lied about this,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I've sheeted here. I'm insecure here. This isn't the real
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: me I lied to you about that. I wanted your
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: acceptance in life. Life created this person me. Life created
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: me to be this person that was back in the day,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and I had to realize, Man, that's okay, man, it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: not my fault. Now you're gonna go back and fix
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: this shit though, So a lot of this isn't your fault.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Why you do some things you do, why you feel.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: The way you feel, But no one's coming back to
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: save your ass. You have to go back to where
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: it started, wherever that place is for everybody, and had
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the courage to go back there and start fixing what
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: broke you.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: One thing I'm most scared of in the world is
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: losing touch with The best thing in the world is
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: your mind. Your mindset, how you can picture yourself, how
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you can focus, how you can drive, how you can
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: put yourself in. So many situations get out of it
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: because those headphones who listen to those phones that we
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: google to find information to so many situations in my
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: life where that's it's not going to help me. It's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: not gonna help me because I know what has helped me.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: None of that stuff has ever helped me. None of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that stuffs ever help me. When it has helped me
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: has been me alone, getting my together and being accountable
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: for who I'm not and who I want to be.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Something has helped me. We all live in this world
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: where our brains are keeping us in this box.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Outside that box, on the other edge, of suffering. Is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a world that's endless of opportunity. But we are afraid
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to go outside that box because in that box it's comfortable.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's where all of our nice stuff. You know, that's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: where the nice four lane highways at. I know where
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the restrooms are at. I know where the gas stations
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: are at.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Outside that box, man, God gives you a shovel and says, man,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: start digging. That's not fun, but you dig, dig your
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: own path to all kinds of stuff that's unknown.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And that's why I started realizing, man, like, on the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: other end of this, it's some beautiful stuff. So I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: got outside my box.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He goes, Man, three hundred pounds now looking at me,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'm hurting eighty five pounds.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: And on the other side of the box was all
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: this stuff, and I know it was over there, So
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I climbed the wall and saw.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I really started to enjoy the fact of seeing what
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the human mind was capable of and seeing that what
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: is so horrendous. There's so much joy and glory in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this taking souls. It's about finding energy and strength when
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you have none. There's energy all around us, but we
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: think that we have to have it has to come externally.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of times we had like a TV in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: front of us, Watch somebody, listen to a podcast, listen
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to a great music. A lot of times in life
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: is quiet, and those are the times when you want
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to run and hide.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: You got to be able to find energy. You got
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to make up.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Games, makeup tricks, make up whatever you can to get
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to the next evolution of life.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: When you're running, you run for hours days. It's the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: thing that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Makes me so pissed off in this world, man, is
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that so many people die with untapped potential because they
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: think that someone else is better than them and.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: They were born you know, not with the greatest tools.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You don't need it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You need the ability to grind your ass into the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: fine powder.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And when you need to fine powder and find.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: A way to build that mother or back up repeatedly.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You have to always be willing to work. And a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: lot of people now are talking. I hear so much talk.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I don't hear a lot of work. I hear a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: lot of people telling you what you should be doing,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: how you should be doing it, how you should be living.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And I look at him, and you're fat, you're out
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of shape, you look like but you're telling them mother how.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: To live.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: The woe is me mentality. It's too hard. Life isn't fair.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: These things in life are not easy for me. You
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: look to your left and you look to your right,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and you start to judge yourself off other people. Everything
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: starts to corrupt your mind. You start to look around
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: too much at other people and what they're doing, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that starts to corrupt your own dialogue.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: We are judging ourselves against too many people. You have
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to judge yourself against yourself.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: This is a race against David Goggins and David Goggins alone.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And once you can silence all that bullsh all the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: outside interference and things that are attracting your mind to everything,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you can then start to grow. We want to skip
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: forward to peace. Let's skip all this pain and suffering
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and misery of real life. Let's cover it over a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: nice big blanket and let's find peace. No, sorry, it's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: not possible. Go into that hellhole of life that you have,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that you up and fix it. And that's what I'm
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: here to do. You must go to war yourself before
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you find peace. I'm trying to give you tools on
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: how to do that, and I'm not considering a smile
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and be happy about it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It's a hard journey. It's a real journey.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It's a journey that's gonna take you way outside of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: being comfortable.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: You'd be very, very uncomfortable. I'm not a theorist. People.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of people who are theorists who go
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to the library study the mind.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: They study it in a book. I studied it by
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: being a practitioner.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I put my mind in hell, and I realized how
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, and I figured out tools and tactics
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: on how to get through it by being in it,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: not by studying it. By being in it, I did
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: sixty seven thousand pull ups in nine months, and it
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: countlessed my hands.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It counts my hands real good. To protect my hands
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: against the bar.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I started learning how to countless my mind to couous
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: over my victim's mentality.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And that's what I did. And so they sent me
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to John Hopkins. Everybody studied my body.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: They studied everything, and one guy says, you know what,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: we can't find.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Anything on how you did all this? How are you
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: able to do all this?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: A headed guy came in from MIT and he said,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you know how he did it. So. Mentality is the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: only thing that gets us through life and that can't
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: hurt mer. Mentality is a matter where you come from
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the sewer or wherever you think you're from. When I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: got out of the sewer, I got to the road
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and looked around and said, can't hurt me. Nothing should
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: be able to hurt you. If you believe that, it
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: starts to become true. I wanted to live my life
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in a way that when I died, I was proud
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: of myself. I know what pride felt like, and if
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it took pushing myself to death, I was willing to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: If I want to look in that mirror, not impress anybody,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: not money, not fame, not nothing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I wanted to impress the guy in the dagone mirror.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: And I worked endlessly and tirelessly to do.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: That, and it happened. I actually sat back when I
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: was fat, nasty, out of shape, miserable, and created a
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: human being in my mind that didn't even exist, and said.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: That's what I want to be. I want to be
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that guy.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I want to be a guy that's capable of doing
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: exactly what I'm doing today.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: If you weren't born that guy, that mentally strong guy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: He can be made. But in making that person.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You have to be who you are every day of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: your life and never care about anybody who gets in
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: your way. That said you're not doing something the proper way.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: When you get be as bad as I did. I
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: lied all the time. I wanted to be accepted and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: loved and all that that I created about fifty people.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Whatever you like, I like, just be my friend. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that's where we get lost in life. You start to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: create a whole bunch of people that aren't even yourself.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: You never figure out who you are. You never live
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: up to your dreams, your ambition. You live up to
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: what whoever is.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Around you that you like so much that you want
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to emulate and be like so much much. You live
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: their dreams. You lose your power. You lose your power.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: The often have powers owning yourself m
