He is studied and observed by certain men that think this is the epitome of manhood “stay hard”. Whiles I get it a lot of it I don’t! Switching off having a laugh chilling out coming home playing with your kids seeing your wife is what most balance humans are about. This man talks all of this but is selling a product hence the podcasts selling his new book. However he doesn’t have a chick or treat to call his own. No children no family no wife.

When I first heard David's story on rogan it hit me hard. I got obsessed with running.. Never as far as him, but I had a 400 mile month once, and one 50 mile run and I'm very proud of that. Turns out running was my cure to anxiety, and was the catalyst that got me sober and now a very active father. There's a lot of hurt in the world, and there can be, nobility in choosing and accepting it.

Did you ever have trouble starting in the beginning? And if you did what got you through that?

@@nathanaelmorales760 yes! At first 1 mile was really tough, had to take several walking breaks.. But slowly built up a little more each time. Started running daily just like 30 minutes each time with walking breaks when I got winded. Then I had to deal with the little injuries of bad posture, technique, bad shoes, bad stretching.. That was about 6 months of hard lessons learned. It can be done, just like he says you just have to keep going

This one made me cry on the spot, i have so much resentment for myself for wasting 7 years of my life after i quit school because of how bad it was for me, only to end up doing nothing other than sitting in front of a pc and playing games and doing fuck all. Thankfully after 7 years i feel like i am finally going the right way(started therapy recently), the way i shouldve went many years ago but somehow couldnt because of many conscious and unconscious factors. David is a pure and an original being, his mentality is on a complete other level, i am very thankful to him for being the way he is because he already helped me a lot and will definitely continue to do so.

@@palek555 Damn man I wasted around the same amount of years doing jack sht. Felt absolutely horrible by the end of those years, especially when I compared myself to my friends who had gotten their life together during those precious years I wasted. That year where all my regrets, procrastinations.. finally came crashing down on me was the worst. I felt suffocated and had cornered myself so badly that it could've been the end. Fortunately around that exact time I came across people like Jordan Peterson, Jocko Wilink and Goggins. Their words and the example they hold themselves to, it saved me. I never met them or know how they really are as people in private, but I'll forever be grateful to them. Since then, these last 3 years I've been on a life resetting journey. Initially all I did was listen to them for hours daily. Trying to change- learn good habits, get rid of the useless ones. Failed miserably for months. But around a year, a few habits started to stick. Once that happened, it started to snowball from there. Never looked back! Man I hope your journey is going great too. I don't know you at all but I truly, sincerely hope you're still on that uphill path. The road never gets easy but it's a relief to know that I'm not the only one. That there's somone out there who's also struggling but is on it. Never giving up.

Respect to Goggins, so humble, full of humility and absent of ego. God for sure is pleased with you! More life more blessings.

[@MegaTrack23]

He conquered God

[@jaqenhghar6996]

Just finished reading “Can’t Hurt Me”. Ain’t a human breathing as tough mentally and in most cases physically as this man 💪🏾🖤. It’s not just about “Stay Hard”, “They don’t know me son” etc. it’s about callousing your mind and asking that question that eludes people who doubt you and themselves…”What if”? You saved my life Goggins! Appreciate you man!

[@zedeisrael230]

Great Interview!!! You are the first person to get David Goggins, to mention he has a child. Out of all the podcasts and Interviews he's never went into that, even in his his book he never went in about it. I've been trying to hear his insight on fatherhood, and more about that situation. You got him to talk a little about it, and with the little he gave, spoke a thousand words to me. Thank you for such a great interview, which I have to watch again for any missed jewels.

[@thewolf5444]

3 minutes in and I'm in awe. Never knew anything about smoke jumpers and David doing this purely to help people is f***ing unbelievable. My respect and awe of this guy is already at 10/10 and somehow he manages to keep improving... a legend amongst men

[@andylisle2302]

Goggins mindset has completely changed my life. Thank you David and Chris for a great podcast.

[@Ryan-Horgan]

Gogging is a version of Nietzsches ubermench IMO. There are not many of them around but he's one of them. Ultimate respect for the guy

[@ivanbenisscott]

Exactly how I think of him. He creates his own values, people follow, and he transcends the ordinary

[@HenritheHorse]

Wim Hof?

[@sprezzatura8755]

Excellent and accurate observation.

[@EduDworzecki]

The übermensch is an utopia which most certainly has nothing to do with being "the baddest motherf****er alive"... Either way, Goggins is absolutely one of a kind!

[@henrywolf5332]

He is not, He is a work out guru who is still decadent and doesn’t redeem only comforts in the face of inevitability of decay

[@SeanMic517]

Undeniable stack of truth. "You must build belief, you must build confidence!" Love that quote.

[@Adventure-of-your-Life]

Cant believe how amazing goggins is. So much wisdom here. "Don't let the dream become your master". Insanely wise

[@mitchelldavis1662]

Goggins is legit a true master... just reading his material and studying his methods has substantially improved my quality of life in multiple areas... he's the real deal... truly inspirational...

Goggins journey is only just beginning. This guy is changing the world. I’ve followed a lot of life coaches, but goggins is the one who caused me to lose all of my fear and go head first into life.

[@dalysean86]

Man I didnt think goggins could pull off another amazing podcast as he's said so much already. This is my favorite one as its straight up no chaser. No long back story needed anymore, just straight into overcoming the mind along with a great interviewer

[@MrCalifornicationSD]

First of all congratulations Chris! I can only imagine how you must feel right now being the only person besides Rogan (‘our Oprah‘) releasing an interview with Goggins. What a milestone. Goggins’ take on not letting a bad father figure be a cop-out or justification for one's own failure was deep. My favorite part though was your answer to your bully’s letter of remorse. Truly inspiring! Class act! 👏🏼

[@abibullamumdzhi4625]

This man is pure inspiration. We don't care whether what he says is truth. This guy is type of teacher children need.

[@glendarelli]

"The world is tough"... so very true!!!! Thank you David for NOT sugarcoating the truth!

[@davidheard723]

This man's lessons changed my life at a time I'm was truly on the edge. Truelymlistening to David Goggins first book help my mind get soooo much in order. His methods won't work for everyone but I pass it on. If your mind is telling you it's too hard, that's when you keep pushing, that's when you don't quit. Own your own mind and become a true savage. Thank you so much, David, for what you've shared with the world.

[@autumnbonhamcoxabc]

Goosebumps. Too many moments that resonate to count. What an epic conversation, feeling fully re-energised and ready to keep pushing comfort zones, to be better and lift my people up with me. Thank you so much for putting so much love into such an epic podcast.

[@Jesusarroyo-vk1ss]

David Goggins is a legend he is helping humanity become there very best and lifting everyone to their highest heights. Thankyou Chris Williamson for bringing the world this podcast David Goggins is a great human doing great things. Love and Life to all

[@lilynguyen4298]

Its so touching when Chris talked about bully and his message has a great impact on the world. Inspiring, Chris

[@JosephCrispin-dl7hh]

David Goggins has changed my life. I've been fighting life since the day I was born and when I found myself at the eleventh hour I came across a KZbin video he did, and I immediately went to war with myself. He has inspired me to see my mirror every morning, day, and night, and the brutal honesty about ones self he has shown has become a very important character building moment of my life. We are only worth what we decide we are worth and self talk is a starting point to overcome any and every obstacle in our life's. Thank you so much for giving me a tool to overcome the odds!

[@seanlittle3449]

Stay hard

[@licious9519]

I just want to say, this is one of the best podcasts of all time. A very growth fuelled podcast with lots of reflection for me and everyone else watching! Thank you for this

[@K.etanak]

I've stuttered my whole life, and I've been avoiding it for as long as I can remember. Recently, I just tried to face it. I used to avoid phone calls and shit. I just went for job interviews, and I even stuttered while being interviewed, but I don't care anymore 'cause I can't let it ruin my life any further. I started to take phone calls. Sometimes, I still stutter over my name and still manage to push through it. I started to do the work, like reading out loud every day. I'm not sure how long it's gonna take, but I'll keep going as one of the murakami's quotes: We can't sit and stare at our wounds forever. And this video really hit me.

[@davidabernathy8543]

Seeing these types of crossovers is really promising. This generation has a unique set of trials before us and the likes of Goggins, Peterson, Jocko, and the like are all remarkable sources of light to guide many through these times

[@chad8537]

On Peace: JBP once said “maybe being dissatisfied is what makes you feel satisfied.” That really stuck with me.

[@OracleEyes73]

When I was in my late twenties I was 300lbs I lost a 120lbs and by my thirties I was weighing 178-185 lbs at 5'9inches tall. Now I'm 50 and thru menopause have gained a lot back now I'm at like 240 lbs with bad knees arthritis and barely a will to live due to depression...But I got to the gym today all because Goggins HAS inspired MY UNINSPIRED ass!!

There is only one Goggins, but his message is for everyone. Chris the interview was monumental, and I agree with Goggins you need to speak up more often about bullying, you are the man to do it. Keep it coming.

[@joaobranco3397]

I have no words, for how much Goggins impacted my life the last two years of my life. Everything that he says and does, makes so much sense in my mind. It clicks so easy.

[@secondfarm3690]

Every second david speaks life becomes more and more clear. Thank you sharing your strength with us.

Taking the world of Podcasting to another level. Congratulations on hosting & organizing this Chris. Inspiring.

Every other sentence is gold. “You have to be your best self when you’re least motivated.” Damn, I’ve got work to do!

[@WaterWitcher]

David you’ve changed my life. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Your vulnerability has become a fortress inside inside of us who have learned from you.

[@DaniellaJoyFitness]

I listened to this at the gym this morning and I’m re-listening to this again! I’ve followed Goggins but now I gotta study him and get his books. His mindset is just something I aspire to form for myself! Powerful podcast

[@thedmdidit9842]

I find Goggins very relatable. The experiences he has gone through are so similar to me, though it was a lesser degree that I went through it. The last 5 years has been me trying to fight for what I want for a change. I have failed at almost everything, BUT I am in a better place now than I was 5 years ago. Mentally, physically and emotionally. It is great to be able to look back at myself 5 years ago and smile at the progress that I have made. It does build a shit ton of confidence to know, that all these failures have built me to be stronger, and better at attempting for the win. I may have failed at most little things, but the bigger picture is, I'm winning.

[@dna8269]

This is the one right here. Imo, the most valuable guest that has ever been on this show because so much of our lives is the battle against self

[@nnayga]

Chris, you truly outdid yourself this time. The production was top tier and contributed to the value of the content in a way I can't explain. Discipline may eat motivation for breakfast, but the lessons learned from watching these 2 hours I won't forget and will most definitely make each step forward that much more enjoyable.

[@jhonperegrino5636]

You know you’ve arrived at a good place, when you can say genuinely that discomfort is a friend.

[@hcrewceo]

I don’t ever comment on KZbin, but this interview was an absolute game changer for me. I just want to say to both of you. Thanks for going to war with your mind. Now it’s back to the battlefront with mine. Keep up the great and inspiring work. 👊🏼💎

[@metalninja2474]

What a closing statement. Maybe it's a good thing Goggins rarely ever does podcasts, simply because he can fill in the time between learning new lessons and coming up with new stuff

[@leonvandersande]

I've been watching Goggins compilations before coming here, with various quotes, including some from this conversation. It struck me that when I first heard him saying: "you have to go back to the mental lab", and not wallow in success, I received the message as though he were addressing me, the audience. But here, with context, I saw that he was talking to himself. And then it hit me: his self-conversation is the same as his outward message. When he talks about 'you', he addresses his audience and himself simultaneously and in equal measure. I think Goggins understands this, and it is what makes his message so powerful. It requires very little translation from one person's situation to another. You will always have to deal with you.

[@blueeyedbull67]

"When you go to war with yourself, that is where you find peace." This is why I believe that Goggins has found a form of enlightenment. Siddhartha Gautama could not have said it any better.

[@gaffatsy9193]

I was thinking something similar while watching this. No matter the obstacle, the suffering does not get to him. He has gone beyond that. Its incredible
