• 0:06
  Speaker 1: over here, the real you, is saying, get the god
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: here go.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: You're nobody. You've always been nobody. And it's true.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: People don't hear that.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: That's a true voice.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: That's the real reality of David Goggins at twenty four
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: It's not a false reality.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And then you had to create another voice over here
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that are saying you're better than that other voice. And
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you're in the freezing cold water that both voices don't
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: want to come in.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: But you win.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And goes from the water to the studying, to the running,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to losing weight, to how you eat, to how you
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: function as a man every day of your life.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: You're winning these battles.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And then I have normal people if you only have
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: one voice, never created the second voice. The winning voice
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is a second voice. They have a one voice and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that's just I'm a piece of shit. That's all they hear.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And then they judge people like me who are out
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: here trying to be better. It's something that I can
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: never really it's a frustrating thing for me because I know.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: The majority of people.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I know what goes on in the bank, because I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: studied the mind more than almost more than you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Because I wasn't. I'm a practitioner.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So for you to be a piece of shit and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: come out of that, you don't just come.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Out of it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You spend decades studying your mind, in the human mind,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: on how it functions in good environments, bad environments, stressful environments.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Patient environment.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You studied all because you have to put all this
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: together together to create.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: The mind to become successful. So I had to, like
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: God bless me with his brain.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I had to create a mind, and so in doing so,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I figured out every piece of shit human being in
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the world, because that's what I was going off for myself.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So I know why you go on Instagram. I know
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: why you because you just have the time. You have
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the time because you don't want to put that time
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: into bettering oneself.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So I know why I misunderstood.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm misunderstood by people who have plenty of time on
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: their hands to misunderstand me because they are exactly where
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I once was.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: It's a low life, lazy piece of shit. It's the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: harsh reality of people who trow.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You, who go after you, they have nothing better to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: do with your lives.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It's not some after school special. It's the truth. By
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: once that way, I know where it all comes from.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: That's why it's frustrating me now, because I'm not so
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: frustrated the fact that I'm being trolled.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I'm a first right by the fact that you don't have.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: The courage, the courage to try to be somebody better
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: than what you're not.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And that's the frustrating partment.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Uncommon amongst uncommon people is one of the greatest ways
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to put it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Like for me, what got me in trouble with the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Navy Seals is I wanted to be one so bad.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: So bad. I fought my ass off, and I.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Saw them as uncommon people, very uncommon. But once you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: become a Navy Seal, you're all Navy Seals. So guess
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: what happens, You're common again. I wanted to be uncommon
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: amongst uncommon people. I wanted to be the guy. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: don't care if you can lighten me, don't if you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: don't understand me. I didn't give once I went through
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: this journious path of life. You ain't got a whole
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: bunch of guys that don't enlighten me. I don't give
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: an I'm a warrior.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Period.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys that have been a lot
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: more Calmbat than me. A warrior is not all way, Zach.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: The warriors and mother says, hey, I'm here again today,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I'm here again tomorrow. I want to be here the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: next day. I'm fifty years old, I'm still getting after it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It's a person that puts no limit on which possible,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and that's what got me in trouble a lot. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that's why I went to Ranger School as a seal.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: That's why I tried to go to Delta Force twice.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I've been I've been through all these different
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: training programs because I was looking for in the military.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: What I saw is in the training, these people get
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: their ass handed to them. After they get out, a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: lot of them get civilized. I always wanted to go
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: back into training, and we were all that. I wanted
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to go back to war, and the war was in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that training program where you see guys who can quit,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: guys who are brutal, guys who are suffering, guys who
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: are you go?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So, as a seal, you don't volunteer for Ranger School.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I did. I put in seven chips got turned down.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: My you know, got accepted.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I went at twenty eight, twenty nine years old, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: they go, why did you go? Because I started becoming civil,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I started becoming complacent. I need to get my fucking
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: ass kicked again. And when you go as a seal
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: going down to you have no rank in ranger school,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you could be a major. You're just sking Joe Brown.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You're nobody and you're not eating, you're not sleeping. So
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I always would put myself. I would immerse myself and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: shit like that. Even I would climbed the ladder and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I intentionally fall back down that motherfucker to say, all right, man,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: getting soft, dude, getting soft, kick your fucking ass again.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And I you know, it's kind of the process.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Did you find resistance from that amongst other guys that
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: didn't like to make that you were making them uncomfortable?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Because that is something that people there's a natural instinct
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: that people have when someone's working harder than them to
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: somehow another diminish that person.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I know that a lot of guys don't like
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: me for a lot of reasons, and I realize that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I am a guy that doesn't care if you like me.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Or not.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And when you're an alpha male and you're against other
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: alpha males and we eat our own, alpha males eat
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: their own.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And I love that ship.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I can go, man, I want to eat Hey man,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I'm all about that kind of mentality, but I would
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: sometimes take it to another level.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I went part of of a good old boy network
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be part of. I wanted to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: be David Godance for too long in my life, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it got me in trouble for too time my life.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I wanted to be accepted growing up.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I lied.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I did what I could. If you can like UFC,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and I did it. I love it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I love it, man, Let's go and watch it. Man,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: be my friend, be my buddy. Can week ass ship?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I found out through this path of life, who is
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: David Goggins?
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Who am I to? Going through all? I did it alone.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: There was no con.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Trophy on the wall and the mantle that trophies in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: my brain. No one helped me get the no one
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: paid my bills, no one did shit for me. No
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: one ran those miths lost that can wait.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Look.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I suffered on my own and developed this man who
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: said that's who I am? Man a very competitive, ultra competitive, dude.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: That taking what you want, man.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I call that personal sovereignty exactly.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: There's not a lot of people that have that. That's me,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of people that change who they
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: are depending upon what people want from them.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And that's that's me.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's important, man. And most people struggle their whole
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: life to find out who they are, struggle their whole
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: their whole life to find out what defines them, what
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: they actually enjoy and what they don't.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You start putting yourself in situations that suck, you'll find
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: yourself people with a talent problem who are so talented
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: they're hard to train, they're hard to push if you're
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: their coach and you're trying to get them to see
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: that we got to get you past this talent problem.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: We got we gotta get you the point where you're
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: into that mental zone, caay you.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: We gotta get you way past your talent.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And it's hard for coaches to take these these fighters
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: or whoever pastor talent. And on the other side is
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that is where they gain true true levels, the levels
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: beyond talent. That's that's where it really is. Because if
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you're able to take a motherfucker down to deep end. Well,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: my friends just putting a toe in fuel in the water,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and shit if it might first the deep end. He
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: had to take you down there, and he's mentally strong.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's over. It's over, man.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They could because they because they live in the deep End.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: They live in it, man, They thriving it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: It's almost like you have to have the ability to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: go to the deep end, no matter whether or.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Not you'll ever go there, right, yes.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: And some people are like, well, I'm never going to
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: go to the deep end, but you should be able to.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent. You have to be trained to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: do it. You have to be trained for it for
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: when that time comes. You're like, Okay, I'm deep in qualified. Yeah,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: i am deep in qualified. I got my deep End certification.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: But you know what's interesting about this book is you
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: talk about how there was moments even though you're clearly
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: deep end qualified, clearly deep end certified, sir, you took
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: some time and you haven't been the deep end for
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a while, and they're kind of a part time savage
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: now right, this is kind of bullshit, and you reckon
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: in yourself even though you know your ability, you know
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: your history. You know what you've been capable of doing
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: in the past, but.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I haven't been there.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Nope, I've been there in a while, and you got
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: to go back.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: It's funny about that part time savage thing in there, man,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: where I can totally dog myself because the truth all
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: this became nice making up, baking an egg protein shake
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: early morning shit, and I stopped having those hard conversations
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: with myself, boy, my whole life. That's why my first
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: hate my ass boy, because.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I'm hard on me.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: If I'm hard on me, I don't give about you.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I don't give about what you don't give everything about me.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Nothing else.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Hard on myself, bro, Every morning I woke up, all right, motherfucker.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I call it my morning meeting, my morning meeting. We
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: all have these meetings off the day long.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: You know, we go to work.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: We're working for somebody else. They want a meeting because
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they want to be successful. So we all sit our
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: ass down, try and make them better, try to make
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: them more money, try to make them more powerful.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: We don't do that for us. Every morning I wake up,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I used to.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I had to get back into it again because in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that chapter, you see, I came up a bitch. That
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: morning meeting, I wake up, okay, because what did you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: do yesterday? Where were you at? And I just go
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: through to analyze my life. And then I went through
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: period of time there. Man, when I stop having those conversations,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you know how you Let's say you and your wife
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: go out. Let's say I don't I don't know, miss
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: making up.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: A story here.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You your wife go out and you see your cousin,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and your cousin's fat as. I don't know, I don't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: know they are not, hopefully not. They are. Apologize maybe.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So they go out and you see your cousins. She's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: fat as, he's fat as.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Whoever, and.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You guys get back in the car and you guys, man,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you see my Mary Joe, how fast she was.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: That's what we do.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: We go back and the hard conversation that you should
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: be having married Joe.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, married Joe.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You gained some weight, hunt, sister, I'm kind of big.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: That's what I do to myself. A lot of people
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that we see all day long, we see them. You know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I had the hord conversation with we walk around whether
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you hate me and get better than like me? As
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: day the same and that's how I feel about David
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: gagets me hate.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I hate me David Man, I hate you, David, but
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I get better from it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: And what I realized was because that was me in
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: part from where I was from. But I realized there
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: was a lot of people that I got to see
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: that were like the sort of person I didn't want
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: to be like. Right, And that was the reverse role model.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: So I could look around and I could say, I
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: really don't want his relationship with his wife, and I
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: hate the way that he is using alcohol to get
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: over the problems in his life. He doesn't have any
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: integrity or tell the truth. She is a liar and
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: a backstabber and a gossip. And the thing is that
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: you can actually achieve a lot of success in life
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: by avoiding failure, Like most success in life actually is
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: avoiding failure. Yes, you need to be able to be competent,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: but first you need to not get out of the race.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: That's the one second decision, right, You need to not
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: lose before you can win. Right, And the reverse role
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: model is you weaving your way through a selection of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: people that you don't want to be like. And I
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: think that you can get an awfully long way. Just
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: by doing that, I.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Did that my entire life. I had the ultimate blueprint
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: by watching my family. I was the youngest kid, So
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the youngest kid has the total advantage. You know, you
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: may get picked on, you may get bullied with everybody,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: but you sit back and exactly what you said. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: sat back and watched my dad. Definitely don't want to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: do that, my mom, my brother, whoever it may be.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I sat back and I paid attention to everything around me,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and it was the ultimate blueprint to.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: How to live life. I don't have a lot to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: live life. How not to live life is. I watched
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: people do shit.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I said, ah, I don't want to be like that.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I said, for you to be this person who comes.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: On and lies and tries to literally tear down everything
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I've worked for, you are in a very very bad place.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Come to find out, you was in a very bad
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: mental place. So I get what you're saying. I've learned
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to study people before I react, because there's no successful
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: person in the world who's in a good headspace that's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: going to ever attack anyone in that kind of manner.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: There's always going to be something wrong with them. So
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you got to always dive a little deeper before.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You get your feelings hurt, Before you get your feelings
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: hurt by that bully at school or that boss at work,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: take time, take that one second to pull back and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: study them. Because most people who are in good places,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: they don't care about what you're doing. They don't care
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: about what you're doing, They don't try to destroy you.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: They actually will try to build you up versus destroy
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: who you are.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: As a person.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: So that's where I'm at now in life, is most
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: people who do that, they're in a very dark, dark place.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Bund
