The Only Motivation You Will Ever Need - David Goggins Is The World's Toughest Human

My podcast with Navy SEAL / ultra-endurance athlete David Goggins struck a chord with many, so thought I'd share it on KZbin as an experiment. Should I upload more episodes here even if it's just audio? Leave a comment below. Look forward to your thoughts.

This changed my life. I stoped smoking, I'm eating healthy, workout EVERY day, learn new language and programming just for fun, my room and house has never been cleaner, made all the things that I postponed for the last 7 years, and that's just my warm-up. But most of all I'm so proud of myself that I can't even describe it for you.

[@gregpaul755]

Did you cut out all distractions, such as social media, turn off your phone, and ignoring friends and family? I keep saying im going to do what you said, but get pulled back into my bad habits

[@Two_wheels_ninja]

@@gregpaul755 Limit that shit. If you feel like you need to turn it off, do it. The ultimate goal is to be so mentally strong that you can have your phone blowing up with messages and you can care less.

[@Two_wheels_ninja]

Good to hear that man, keep moving forward

[@gregpaul755]

@@Two_wheels_ninja Just saying do it, isn't enough. I need specific details of how you push through the daily temptations that suck you back into the world of loserism. Maybe its easy for you, but for me it isn't.

[@Two_wheels_ninja]

@@gregpaul755 well, what helps me is remembering the 40% rule he talks about and how you want to make sure every drop goes to use. Because when you can get the work done and stay focused you feel so good after instead of checking the phone constantly. You will also have more time for yourself. It aint easy so dont expect to be perfect, but just fight the temptation

[@captaindrew8692]

I'm upright, stretching, eating whole food plant based, running, riding - at 61 with in remission cancer and diabetes. I f*cking hate all of it. Thx "Goggins" my best is now yet to come. Inspiration is a cruel friend. I'm moving on from the 40% mark. I realize my demon was myself. Now I'm headed forward.

[@adopodrinje1499]

check out water fasting and intermittent fasting! also BREATHING exercises from Heartmath or Wim hof method! or rebounder training or 5 Tibetan Rites! it should do the job !

[@Itsunclegabby]

Legendary. I have parents your age that are duped by society to believe it's all downhill from here. It hurts bad to see them hurting, but I can only live by example now. I've erased my own physical and mental illnesses. Kudos to you for pushing against that belief!

[@wille6788]

"For me all failure is is more information on how to succeed." Brilliant.

[@JamesScottGuitar]

It’s scary to look around and realize that a huge percentage of the human population is not doing nearly what they are capable of doing. And then we all wonder why we’re unhappy. David brings your attention right back to that very point. You are unhappy, unfit, etc. etc...because you’re not seizing the opportunity to show yourself what you’re capable of. It means way more coming from the guy that is living his message. David Goggins is waking a lot of people up...including giving me a swift kick in the ass.

[@DB-23]

His book is so powerful. The first few chapters shook me to my core.

[@veronicagrace173]

"It's always me against me." - is the greatest and most motivating quote David Goggins said. Works for me every time.

[@johnepyttesr8947]

100% Compare yourself to others, you will always lose. Or win, but really lose. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, you just might start winning every night

[@yurtyahern7922]

1:12:30 "very few people change the way they think and that's why they always fuck themselves in life". That is the most powerful thing Goggins has ever said. 💯

[@PetLoversYT]

Every time you have an excuse just think of David.. Can't really make excuses if you watch him

[@happylindsay4475]

Kyle Binder Facts! Every time I give myself an excuse- Goggins will haunt my consciousness. This guy is NO JOKE.

[@adamcelliene8807]

You got me with this one

[@thestruggler7926]

Me every single day now. I think about all the things he and other navy seals have accomplished that sound impossible but they made it through with great mindsets.

Yesss it is he really really hunts me❤when i give excuse

listening to this while knocking out 1000 pushups in increments of 10, started this video at 650 falling on my face, still falling on my face until I'm finished #canthurtme #stayhard

[@prithviraj1080]

well done.

[@TaurusBaileyAttorney]

Anyone they gave this interview a thumbs down is insecure, because driven people remind them of what they WONT do when they CAN do it.

[@BradPitbull]

TM Bailey GOGGINS IS MY NIGGA

[@stevenfulton2679]

I’m shocked that there’s people actually disliked this video!!

[@cthornton523]

In his 2019 podcast w RR, Goggins speaks to the fragility of the alpha male ego to the accomplishments of others. Hubs just walked in, "Gah! Insufferable!" Walked out. I giggled. I know who I am, I know what I like. It's good.

[@johnepyttesr8947]

I don't see any thumbs down

[@Itsunclegabby]

@@johnepyttesr8947 Back when it was posted, you could see them.

[@jessicajaerosenbaum115]

He's the only person I've ever heard speak that doesn't say one word for someone else and cares nothing about anyone's judgement. Absolute truth. Incredible. I love him because he doesn't give a shit if I do or not!!!

[@DrSeussTruth]

Crazy thing is, he is a very insecure person deep inside, he used to care about everything and everyone. He then put in so much work to the point that nothing bothers him and through this shows a great person and soul that anyone can achieve to the be the %100 real version of them selfs.

[@user-M7vZEryOTa]

Converting these 33 seconds from the beginning of the video to MP3 and listening to them daily is just a powerful reminder. Thank you Sir David goggins

[@marvlsp71]

Yes! Dude you are right there is always time. I figured if Goggins can do what he does then I can workout for an hour or 2 after a 12 hour shift at the hospital...NO EXCUSES!!!

[@Plethorality]

Has that helped? How are you going now? Ate you fitter? How do you feel these days?

[@mixingrecords]

lisa sommerlad not sure if he continued. But I’m at 8months strong. 39yo and in the best shape of my life. Feels amazing. Goggins has been a huge “driven force”

[@crob949]

Stephan Pendarvis right, I work a very physically demanding job and yesterday after listening to him and working 7-8:50 pm I went to the gym at 9:30

[@SharkxBait93]

Words cannot describe how much I admire him. What he has acheived in his life cannot be bought with any amount of money, this man is the epitome of indestructible.

[@learnsthehardway]

Goggins is back on the log is my new favorite mantra.

[@user-uf8ez9pq5p]

This was one of your best podcasts! David is a REGULAR PERSON, REAL, and RAW and says things no matter how controversial, examples: internet and humanity. He's spot on with what he says. He is a breath of fresh air and inspiration. His mindset is admirable. No excuses, if you want it badly enough, just do it. Thanks Rich, for making these older episodes available.

[@gypsetter4life206]

I'm an instructor at the United States Navy War College in Newport and I used your life example for a whole class with my international officers. Many of them have purchased your book since class. Thank you so much for sharing such unique life experience. We have such rich lives(and I'm not talking finances here).

[@RelentLance]

Oh my Goggins

[@Anna27S]

I always listen to this podcast when I feel uninspired or lost. And every time this wakes me up and I remember what I want to accomplish in life. I think that I've already listened to it like 5 times. That's truly amazing. Thank you so much. Both of you.

[@raharold]

I love that guy! Bring him back for more!

[@d1st4rbed]

the key is to take action

[@alexrivers3728]

I'm a big fan of Goggins and have listed to most of his interviews on KZbin (especially the newer ones). Roll really did a great job with this and asked some really interesting questions. I get tired of hearing people asking him about his past because I've read Cant Hurt Me and Living with a Seal...so I really enjoyed this interview with its well-thought-out questions. This should have more views.

[@VasuAmpaipan]

Found many great questions and summarise from this podcast where we cant fine any in others recent Goggins talk. Thanks Roll for this great great conversation.

[@essauduncan6781]

Glad somebody finally said it. Eeebody keeps asking about his past while it's everywhere

[@ultrablack3638]

Power of doing things you hate

[@waynegore176]

it's everything

[@TheHumanSoundSystem]

Im listening to this pretty much in the same position as Rich Roll was in when he was 40. When I was a teenager I could arm wrestly my sports teachers, I was the 100m champion plus excelling in so many other sports and disciplines. I smoked the last 20 years or so and have lost my shape. Im 92 kilos can barely run for more then 20 minutes and it hurts so much. I cant even do 2 chin ups or 10 press ups with out collapsing but the good news is I´ve woken up and I want to improve. Ive stopped smoking since 2 months and processed sugars, and I´ve started to workout and jog again and Im so happy discovered this channel thanks to a Yes Theory Video. Thank you Rich and David for being top role models and giving me the inspiration and strength to know its not too late and I can achieve my dreams. Sounds so corny but I really do agree with the life begins at 40 phrase!! Blessings and love

[@JerryGarciaPOBox]

5 years later he's still changing lives. I found him recently & the timing couldn't have been better. Thx DG!

[@b1l2u3n4t5]

Absolutely amazing, the real tragedy are the dislikes because you know those are the people that can't accept reality and the cold hard truth. I shouldn't even really describe his message as the '"cold, hard" truth..its just truth

[@youssefrochdi1994]

Andre Blunt no, those are not a tragedy. People who do not have the mental fortitude to accept what the man is saying, let alone DO what he is saying, are not important. The truth is they are a hindrance to the our evolution as individuals as well as a species. They don't matter. Those who do not help you and are positive about you do not deserve your attention.

[@thenewenglandhustle8832]

Youssef Rochdi no one does what he is saying. Only one Goggins. But if he can do what he does. Anyone can push themselves harder!

[@johnepyttesr8947]

Lighten up baby, there are no dislikes. Look at you... Look at yourself. .. don even worry about dislikes. Soak in the information, fuck everyone else...

[@evanseklecki9006]

He throws your reality right in your face and is just like "Look at it! Look at it! I want all of you to look at it!" The point about getting caught up in the details is so true. Just because you have the exact blueprint and all the same gear as Goggins doesnt mean youll even get out of bed to put in the work.

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Evan Seklecki Truuuuuuuuueeeee!!!

[@terciosantana4697]

i'm back to this convo every year and it gets better and better every time. you can sense the fire in goggins' words.

[@thereisalwayshopeinjesus2333]

I so resonate with everything he says. Also how he says at 1:20:00 quit asking questions you have to want it and do it. So true.

r u 2 still training this everyday? 100push ups? 1h HIIT Workout ? I do HIIT with 7min workout 1round, then jogging 2 rounds of 20 or30min, and rebounding 2 rounds of 10-15min ! trying to combine this. or combining this. with deep breathing exercises from Hearmath and also Wim hof method!

[@faithf4988]

I know that he doesn't want to be on social media but his '20 years from now' could be that he helped motivate the kids in foster care by being their mentor that he so desperately needed when he was a teen.....I fostered for over ten years....there are over a half a million kids in the foster care system in the US.....his message is needed to be heard by so many of them.....the system is failing these kids....we need more people like him to show kids that they can succeed regardless of their circumstances
