  Speaker 1: You have a choice to make. Do you want to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: sit down and go back to that guy you once were? No?
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: So this is what it takes. It takes that misunderstanding
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of people and they'll never get it because they were
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: never David Godas. So that is what it takes for
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: me to do what I do. It may take you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: something differently. So for me, everything has to be in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the study and everything has to be into this. Everything
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: has to be everywhere I am. It has to be
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: there me focus where I am. It's a difficult motherfucker
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: where you're gonna fail and you're gonna be in your head.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: You can be saying I'm not good enough, and it's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: how you get through that. It's how you get through
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that on a daily basis. When that thing is saying, man,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I'm forty three, I've done so much, you start to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: become civilized. The refrigerator gets full, you start getting making money,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and you start I'm not getting cold anymore. I'm retired.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Once at forty people shouldn't be playing basketball or football
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: or beating them up. You start to believe this shit
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and it becomes in your mind. There's people who are retiring,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you know, at forty something years old or thirty something
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: years old. At forty three, I'm still putting one hundred
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: mile weeks, still doing thousands of pull ups due to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: thousands of push ups, because I'm not allowing myself to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: become civilized. The worst thing that can happen to a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: man's become civilized. You lose that can fight, you lose that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Why the am I doing this shit? I'm good, You
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: ain't good man, You ain't never going to arrive. And
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that's just my mentality. You may have more, but you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: never can ride. You want to be uncommon and must
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: uncommon people period. A lot of people who's brain, Hey,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: where's my devils? Let me look, they're fucking throwing shit,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they're looking through totes all stuff. So where am I
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: gonna put discipline in that mind? If I can't find
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: other you gotta be able to find all these different
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: things in your mind. Oh, I can put discipline right there,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I can put consistency right there. I can put all
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: these things right there in that spot. So that's what
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. If your life is not organized and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: your life being everything around you, because it takes one
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: little piece of an outside interference to cutter your whole mind,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and people don't get that. Your mind has to always
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: be clear. That's why I meditate two hours every single night,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: because I refresh. I reorganize the garage which is my mind,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: every night. So then discipline's in there, organization, everything is
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in this right spot. So when I wake up, I'm
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: ready to go. I studied the black matter of the mind,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the dark matter, you know, like Stephen Hawkins, that mother
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: studied the spaceship. That's where I consider myself. Man, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I was on a journal just like you said. I mean,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you couldn't say any better, and so many people get
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it wrong. I don't give a man, you can't for me.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I cannot help people. There's a lot of cookie cutter
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: shit out here in this world. Oh, discipline, wake up early,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: take coach, shower, this, that, whatever. It's all bullshit. It's not.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: But what they don't teach you within the cookie cutter
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: is like our minds are like a fucking garage. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the garage if you open the garage and it's all
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: cluttered up, it's off up. You can't put your car
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in there. You got boats, and you got fucking kids,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: toys and shit everywhere. But if you organize that garage
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and you put everything as rightful spot, you can pull
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that car in there, you can put two cars in there,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you put bikes in there. And that's like with the mind.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: People talk about discipline, if you can determination, if can
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you know repetitions and all this consistency. Why people fall
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: off the wagon so often, it is because their mind
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: is full of shit. There's no room in that mind
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for discipline. There's no room for consistency. They may do
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it once or twice, but then the mind takes over
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and that cluttered garage comes in, and then it's like
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a circuit breaker, man. A circuit breaker is overloads and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: sparks in our minds. That's that's our mind, man. It's
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: like a concircuit breaker that has so much should in it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You keep on loading it. You can't put any more
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: into it. So I talk about it in there, man,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: so much about clearing space in your mind. So then
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you have room for all those discipline waking up early,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: taking those because they do mean something. But we don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: get to that fucking dark matter that is keeping you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: from clearing out that mental garage. When I was going
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: through school, I'll never forget I think I was in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: third grade, and back then, you know, add ADHD wasn't like,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you know, here's this medicine, here's this thing, they want
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to put you in a special school. So for me,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I was so far behind and learning that their big
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: thing was, let's just put him in a special school
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because he'll never learn. And through that process of like,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be in a special school. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: don't want to be treated in differently. It really like
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I never took medication. I've never taken medication for this.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: That's why right now you see me looking right in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: your eyes, what the hell is is? You know? It's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you've been saying right now. And that's why I don't
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: feel bad for people who have ADHD, who have learning disabilities,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and some are impossible because you just can't, but a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: lot of them you can. But people don't want to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: go through the process of focus, of teaching yourself how
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to truly focus. This is where my message gets lost.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It gets lost because I may say, you know, MF
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: or fal You know, I may be because that's the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: passion that comes out of me. Because that's it takes
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: everything for me to learn a sentence. So when I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: speak about David Goggins. I can't speak about David Goggins
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in a way that's just calm, cool, because when I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: wake up, I know the journey that takes for me
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to find my greatness, and it's hard. Every nothing it's easy,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: nothing just like oh I wake up and I just
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: do this or I do that, or it just you know.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I watch people every day go through life, and it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: so easy for me to be where I'm at today.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It takes every bit of me. So when I speak
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: about it, and as I get going here, you'll start
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: seeing me. The temple will rise, the passion will come
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: out because I'm back there. I'm doing what I do
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: every day to become a human being. This was like
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: literally a trained skill for me. Was I'm always preparing for,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: like not being a bitch. Like a lot of people
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: get to a point like, for instance, like if Jennifer
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: can't do something like if you know, if she can't
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: go for a run or whatever, just like cause she
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: something's wrong, like some simple shit, it's gonna bother. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: got to point in my life where I realized this
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is life, and so I move on past things real quick.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So people like, oh my God, what are you gonna do, David?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: If you can't run, mother, I'll swim, or I'll go
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to college, or I'll do something else, like this isn't
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: my life. So I'm very aware how quick life can
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: take shit from you. And I've always prepared my mind
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for the next chapter. And what happened with me was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I started this thing called front loading. So when I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: was young, I used to be a little piece of shit,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, I'm not good enough, I can't
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: do this, I can't do that. The second I got
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: my head out of my ass and I realized, man,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you can achieve a lot of shit if you get
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: off your ass and you start moving and you start
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: motivating yourself. So I become a self motivator. So I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: started frontloading. In front loading, these people are man, you've
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: done so much by forty seven, because I don't know
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: what tomorrow is going to bring me. So my military
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: resume is fat. You know, I did a lot in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the military. I did a lot outside of the military.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I've made money. I've done almost every race out there,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: hard race in the world. I've broken pull up records.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I've done a lot of shit. So when these bad
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: times come, and also enough only that like work your
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: ass off so you can enjoy making a shot. You
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: know you may not live to be old, But what
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: if you do and you've worked your ass off when
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you were able and you were able to get up
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: orly able to grind. If you front loaded properly, the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: back half of your life is money. And that's why
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I did the second I realized that, man, you are
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a piece of shit. We got to get going because
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: at forty seven, man, you're not gonna be able to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: do any of this shit fifty whatever you are. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I frontloaded. So all these bad things that have happened to me,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I sit back and go, man, how are you handling
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: it so? Well? Well, I've done it. I front loaded.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I have the money I need to have the success.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I need to have the fucking the the determination, the willpower,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and also the pride in myself. So when I wake
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: up every morning, I know who the guy am. I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: frontloaded perfectly, so I don't care what's taking from me.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You don't find yourself. If you like bench pressing and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you press all the time, what are you finding out?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: If you like to swim, that's all you want to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: do is swim. What are you finding out? People talk
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: about triple down on your constraints. That's the fucking weakest
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: shit in the world. No triple down your weaknesses. Find
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: out something about yourself. You ain't know that the good ship,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You ain't know the happy shit. That's why my face,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: because why don't you talk about good times? You know
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: how to get through that motherfucker You don't need, you
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: don't need to want to tell you how to get
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: through that's happy, that's easy shit. I want to tell
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you how you can help yourself get through the times
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that suck. Real life. This is real life. Ninety percent
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of your life will suck, ten percent will being happy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: You may be lucky guy, have a lot of money,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: have a great ass, woman, all this shit, trust me
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: one on one with that guy. He's missing something. His
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: life still sucks because he hasn't faced something that bothered
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: him his whole life. Something is still eating that motherfucker up.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Almost everybody, everybody eating you up. But maybe you found
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: a good way. How I did growing up on how
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to ignore that voice as saying you ain't facing some
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: period it. Man, I'm not special. I just stopped listening.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I listened to that voice. This is why I talked
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: so freaking aggressive. People say, man, do you believe in God?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You cuss so much when I say, is letting you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking if I try to make it
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: all pretty, And that's not what my life was. It
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: was a violent, violent struggle daily to get where I'm
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: at today. I'm not going to water down I knocking
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: water down. Shit wasn't fun. They ain't fun today. I'm happy.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I study the darkness. You find no answers in the light. None.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It's too happy, it's too nice, and we're not We
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: need to be taught how to live in happiness that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: just comes naturally to us happy moments. But the dark times, man,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you can't and you can't get there unless you put
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: yourself there. Life will take you there. But when you
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: get into those dark moments, that's why people. That's why people.
