Speaker 1: Let's say you're in the hospital bed and you're getting
Speaker 1: ready to die and somebody walks in the.
Speaker 2: Room and you have one copy of your book and.
Speaker 1: It's sitting right there on the table, and you're taking
Speaker 1: your last breath and you're talking to this person. You
Speaker 1: say to them, I want you to read this book
Speaker 1: as you're dying. Think about this, that book that you
Speaker 1: just wrote, when it changed your life forever, And if
Speaker 1: it's not changing their life forever, you have to rewrite
Speaker 1: your book.
Speaker 2: You have to start rewriting it right now.
Speaker 1: I wanted to live my life in a way that
Speaker 1: when I died, I was proud of myself.
Speaker 2: I know what pride felt like.
Speaker 1: And if it took pushing myself to death, I was
Speaker 1: willing to do that. If I wanted to look in
Speaker 1: that mirror, not impress anybody, not money, not fame.
Speaker 2: Not nothing.
Speaker 1: I wanted to impress the guy in the dagone mirror.
Speaker 1: And I worked endlessly and tirelessly to do that, and
Speaker 1: it happened. I see what is not the norm was
Speaker 1: impossible with all the theorists say you shouldn't be doing this,
Speaker 1: that's the wrong way to go, And I'm like, hmm,
Speaker 1: let me see if I can pull this shit off.
Speaker 1: It's so easy to be great nowadays, my friend, because
Speaker 1: most people are weak. Most people don't want to go
Speaker 1: to that extra mile. Most people don't want to find
Speaker 1: that extra because it sucks, it's miserable, it's lonely. I
Speaker 1: really started to enjoy seeing what the human mind was
Speaker 1: capable of and seeing that what is so horrendous, There's
Speaker 1: so much joy and glory in this shit. The most
Speaker 1: important conversation is the one you have with yourself. You
Speaker 1: wake up with it, you walk around with it, you
Speaker 1: go to bed with it. Eventually you act on it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you act on it good, sometimes bad. You got
Speaker 1: to change the internal dialogue that person in your head
Speaker 1: that's talking that shit to you, Until you change the
Speaker 1: internal dialogue in your head, until you callous over the
Speaker 1: victim's mentality that the world is out to get you.
Speaker 2: You because of you, are the only you got to
Speaker 2: change that shit, man. I get that mentality. I once
Speaker 2: had that mentality that no one understands what I'm going through.
Speaker 1: And if you keep that mentality, you're going to stay
Speaker 1: in the same exact spot that you're in. I saw
Speaker 1: myself as the weakest human being on the planet, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to transform that into.
Speaker 2: The hardest man God ever created. Your mind takees control
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 1: You have to say you I run this mother flu
Speaker 1: You have to be your best self and your least motivated.
Speaker 2: You have to have these different things.
Speaker 1: In your mind on where you want to go and
Speaker 1: know that motivation is not going to get me there.
Speaker 2: The only thing that changes your DNA is disciplined. If
Speaker 2: you can get through to doing things that you hate
Speaker 2: to do. On the other side is greatness.
Speaker 1: You have to be willing to fail one hundred times
Speaker 1: to succeed once.
Speaker 2: If you're not going to.
Speaker 1: Do that, man, you're not going to even get a
Speaker 1: fraction of what you're looking for. There's a new bar
Speaker 1: that you must always set in your life. And once
Speaker 1: you become complacent and you become civilized, you've arrived.
Speaker 2: You're no good for anybody. Everybody's journey's different. Everybody's journey
Speaker 2: is different.
Speaker 1: I was on the journey to see who David Goggins was,
Speaker 1: and that journey took me in some of the hardest
Speaker 1: areas of human being.
Speaker 2: Can even imagine.
Speaker 1: And right now I'm the happiest person on the planet
Speaker 1: because you know, I had to climb out every several
Speaker 1: times just to look down all my life to see where.
Speaker 2: Hell I came from.
Speaker 1: And that's what kept me going through all this stuff,
Speaker 1: Like I envisioned myself going through, like when I was
Speaker 1: a young kid and they called me all the time
Speaker 1: that my dad beat the hell out of me, and
Speaker 1: I had no self esteem.
Speaker 2: I had this vision of if I.
Speaker 1: Can make it to where I want to go, imagine
Speaker 1: when I look back on my damn.
Speaker 2: Life, how proud I will be.
Speaker 1: And now I'm here, I'm able to look back on
Speaker 1: this life I lived that many people will never understand
Speaker 1: because why when you're passionate, they think you're crazy and
Speaker 1: you can't even explain to people why you're doing or
Speaker 1: why you did what you.
Speaker 2: Did, because you found your purpose. And once you find
Speaker 2: your purpose, you can't.
Speaker 1: Really explain it to normal people because they don't understand
Speaker 1: passionate because they live everyday life is going not really
Speaker 1: find their purpose.
Speaker 2: So I become a foreign language to people. They think,
Speaker 2: so they put me in a category if you're just crazy. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm passionate. I found my purpose in this life. If
Speaker 2: you want to be great, you want to be a
Speaker 2: bad mother.
Speaker 1: Ever, at which you do, you can be misunderstood by
Speaker 1: everybody because you're going to be.
Speaker 2: So obsessed and so driven to get there. That's what
Speaker 2: it takes.
Speaker 1: The first step you have to do is face yourself
Speaker 1: and be accountable for what you're not, so then you
Speaker 1: can be what you want to be. I call myself
Speaker 1: fat because I was fat, and people don't want to
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 2: They want to say, oh, what call you? You're so fat?
Speaker 2: Don't call yourself dumb.
Speaker 1: If you're not real and raw with who you are,
Speaker 1: nothing's gonna change. And in this nice new world that
Speaker 1: we live in, we want to hear you're just a
Speaker 1: little big no man. You might be fat. How you
Speaker 1: address it is you face it. You face it every day,
Speaker 1: You face it every single day of your life.
Speaker 2: Where you say, okay, like if you're fat, you need
Speaker 2: to lose weight.
Speaker 1: It's patience. It's patience in this fact of accepting who
Speaker 1: you are. Right now, I'm fat. I don't like myself,
Speaker 1: accepting the fact that if you lose three or four pounds,
Speaker 1: that's a huge accomplishment. I started realizing man, just by
Speaker 1: going to war with myself every day and putting these
Speaker 1: challenges in these goals and these obstacles, these insurmountable obstacles.
Speaker 1: So it what about losing one hundred and six pounds?
Speaker 1: Me losing five pounds was an accomplishment. We losing ten
Speaker 1: pounds and then fifty pounds. The more I did, the
Speaker 1: more I gain confidence. I was just working, I was
Speaker 1: just sacrificing, and then through that all these different tools
Speaker 1: started coming up. But I would have never found these
Speaker 1: tools if I didn't put myself in a very uncomfortable place.
Speaker 1: We all look for toughness, we all want it, but
Speaker 1: we look for it in a comfortable environment. You will
Speaker 1: not find toughness in a comfortable environment. Those of you
Speaker 1: who are listening to this, whoever hear this, you will
Speaker 1: not find it. I was trying to look for it everywhere.
Speaker 1: The only way you find it is to drown yourself
Speaker 1: in a position where you're just out of sorts, where
Speaker 1: you can't swim, and you're drowning. You're drowning, You're drowning
Speaker 1: in life. But you say, know what, man at, I'm
Speaker 1: going to figure.
Speaker 2: Out how to backstroke or something. When you quit your
Speaker 2: mind sets, we're done.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't expand there's no expansion when you quit,
Speaker 1: when you say you this sucks. I'm drowning, I'm miserable,
Speaker 1: I'm suffering, I'm broken, but I'm.
Speaker 2: Not going anywhere. What happens to your mind is it
Speaker 2: does this, It says he's not leaving.
Speaker 1: So we got to expand, we gotta grow, We got
Speaker 1: to figure this thing out.
Speaker 2: We're only one percent away from true grace.
Speaker 1: There's a big difference between ninety nine percent and one hundred.
Speaker 2: I always thought that I was given one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I wasn't, But I was only one percent from making
Speaker 1: that money, from being where I want to be, from.
Speaker 2: Having everything in life I've ever dreamed of. But it's
Speaker 2: that one percent that we sleep on. Is that one
Speaker 2: percent that we wake up in that morning You're like,
Speaker 2: you know what, not today, maybe tomorrow. Well guess what.
Speaker 1: That's why it's so easy to be great nowadays, because most.
Speaker 2: Mothers are weak.
Speaker 1: And if all you do is when you are trying
Speaker 1: to hit that month, this news, but on life, not
Speaker 1: in the morning, all life. Just know this, all the
Speaker 1: it tastes is thinking about all those week mothers who are.
Speaker 2: Taking a day off. And trust me, you will come
Speaker 2: up real fast. Like I say, it's.
Speaker 1: Easy to be great nowadays because mother is just weak,
Speaker 1: very soft.
Speaker 2: Well, I believe that he has to build belief.
Speaker 1: Belief is like there's an after school special belief where
Speaker 1: the mom says, believe in yourself and that's all great,
Speaker 1: but there's also a built belief and the build belief
Speaker 1: is one where you are constantly Like for me, I
Speaker 1: came from a bad place. How I build belief is
Speaker 1: through the daunting tasks I put myself through.
Speaker 2: So that's proof positive that I can. So it correlates.
Speaker 1: And that's how this pieceous kid I once thought I
Speaker 1: was built belief by saying hmm, I was in three
Speaker 1: hell weeks. I went to Ranger School. I tried out for.
Speaker 2: Delta selection, undeniable stack of proof. That is proof mother.
Speaker 1: So whenever you think, whenever you think you can't, confidence
Speaker 1: comes from the thing that you built. You must build belief.
Speaker 1: You must build confidence. It can't be like, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go knock that shit out. You got to look
Speaker 1: over here and say I can knock that shit out.
Speaker 1: It's a belief and it's built on what you put
Speaker 1: in to yourself. And one thing I was able to
Speaker 1: do was to dream. I was able to dream outside
Speaker 1: those four walls of that small town. And until you're
Speaker 1: able to really put yourself into that dream.
Speaker 2: But don't make dreams your master.
Speaker 1: That's where you truly become what you're destined to become.
Speaker 2: What you mean, don't make dreams your master. A lot
Speaker 2: of people sit back and they dream about being a.
Speaker 1: Sports figure, or dream about being a seal, or dream
Speaker 1: about being an astronaut, and all it is is a
Speaker 1: mother dream. They don't put the work behind the dream.
Speaker 1: That dream has become their master. When you become the
Speaker 1: master of your dream is when you say I want
Speaker 1: to go be a Navy seal and you say, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to lose one hundred and six pounds in
Speaker 1: less than three months. The dream was the one thing
Speaker 1: I thought about, and the dream was now gone. Now
Speaker 1: what comes in the dream goes away and the boundary
Speaker 1: list of details and tasks come up. God, do this,
Speaker 1: got you this, got do this, got do this.
Speaker 2: That's when you.
Speaker 1: Become the master of your dream. So a lot of
Speaker 1: people out there dreaming, we are all great. No matter
Speaker 1: if if you think you're dumb, no matter if you
Speaker 1: think you're fat, No matter if you are fat, no
Speaker 1: matter if you've been bullied.
Speaker 2: We all have greatness. It just you gotta find the courage.
Speaker 1: You gotta find the courage to put your bows headphones
Speaker 1: on and silence the noise out of this world. And
Speaker 1: to find it, you have to get in a quiet
Speaker 1: place in your brain.
Speaker 2: We all live on our phones, we all live on.
Speaker 1: Google, we all live and in this whole social media
Speaker 1: world that I really hate.
Speaker 2: I absolutely hate it. Why you can't find purpose because
Speaker 2: in your head there's a bunch of noise.
Speaker 1: When I was younger, growing up, they called me this,
Speaker 1: They called me that I had all that noise in there.
Speaker 1: The second I put on the kind of quote unquote
Speaker 1: bows headphones and silence the.
Speaker 2: Noise, I listen to my internal voice. Half of us
Speaker 2: live our whole lives and never even listen to what
Speaker 2: the hell we want to do.
Speaker 1: Get off the podcast, don't be on social media too much,
Speaker 1: cut out all the noise, get back to the mental lab.
Speaker 2: You don't know what you.
Speaker 1: Want to be because you haven't spent time, real time
Speaker 1: with yourself.
Speaker 2: Spend time with yourself.
Speaker 1: Trust me, and once you find that passion, that purpose,
Speaker 1: your goals, your purpose, everything when they start lining up,
Speaker 1: and then you'll find the courage to start that journey.
Speaker 2: You have to believe that you are here on this
Speaker 2: earth for a reason.
Speaker 1: And if you don't believe that you're here for a reason,
Speaker 1: your life will seriously hurt. And I started looking at
Speaker 1: my life and all this shit I went through as
Speaker 1: God put me some God, whatever you believe in putting
Speaker 1: me here to go through this. And now I see
Speaker 1: all the hundreds of thousands of lives I'm changing by
Speaker 1: the hell I went through.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of power in that.
Speaker 1: So my purpose as I started going through this journey
Speaker 1: instead of looking at.
Speaker 2: Like woe is me? God?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: Why the man? Why? I started looking as it's the
Speaker 2: perfect training ground. You knew exactly what you were doing.
Speaker 2: You knew exactly what you were doing.
Speaker 1: You put me in every situation possible to tell a
Speaker 1: story that needs to be told. The reason why my
Speaker 1: story resonates with people because I don't hide.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you exactly who I am. I will admit
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 3: People are great at hiding, so they wanted to find peace. No,
Speaker 3: you gotta take your ship, fix you up in. You
Speaker 3: don't just shove it under rug. Fix it and then
Speaker 3: you'll find some peace later. How the two or ninety
Speaker 3: seven pounds concerts.
Speaker 1: Guy who quit on everything is now considered one of
Speaker 1: the best man of the planet.
Speaker 2: How is that possible? It means I had to change
Speaker 2: one thing my mindset.
Speaker 3: I had to believe and make that belief work and
Speaker 3: do hard work.
Speaker 2: I did that.
Speaker 1: I also believe that we're going to end up one
Speaker 1: day meeting a Maker, and I believe that Maker knows
Speaker 1: everything about you, everything about you, knows else could be
Speaker 1: here and is talking to you.
Speaker 2: He knows everything. And the one thing that.
Speaker 1: Scares me to death in my life is getting to
Speaker 1: heaven and not being what else.
Speaker 2: Supposed to be.
Speaker 1: And I believe that God has a chart and he
Speaker 1: looks at the chart and he's pushing it in front
Speaker 1: of you and get to heaven.
Speaker 2: He says, hey, this is what you're supposed to be.
Speaker 2: And one of my biggest fears in life was to
Speaker 2: see that chart and not have every block checked off.
Speaker 1: You know, I want to make sure that I'm constantly
Speaker 1: pursuing whatever it is I'm pursuing, just constantly grinding myself
Speaker 1: into a fine powder.
Speaker 2: That's my purpose now, to continue to push myself so
Speaker 2: others can see what is possible.
Speaker 1: Let's say you're in the hospital bed and you're getting
Speaker 1: ready to die, and somebody walks in the room and
Speaker 1: you have one copy of your book and it's sitting
Speaker 1: right there on the table, and you're taking your last
Speaker 1: breath and you're talking to this person. You say to them,
Speaker 1: I want you to read this book as you're dying.
Speaker 1: Think about this, that book that you just wrote, when
Speaker 1: it changed their life forever. And if it's not changed
Speaker 1: their life forever, you have to rewrite your book.
Speaker 2: I started writing it right now.
