Amazing podcast ❤

[@jdlalbertaboy]

Wow! Knew nothing of this man before this morning. Now im watching every interview i can, ordered his book, none on the book stores in Edmonton have it in stock. This is a life changer. Thanks for inviting him on the podcast Jennifer 😊

[@BrandonAvance]

What a great chat! Worth listening to. I've really enjoyed the book Winning by Tim Grover as well. Learning about greatness and how their mindset drives it is fascinating!!!

[@MongPhu]

There are so many nuggets in this video. Too bad so many people are caught up with fluff and not the steak.

Their loss

Love the 'Journaling wins'/Glass of Chips bit. David Goggins calls it The Cookie Jar. Such a powerful concept that feels negligible. The more I listen to Todd, the more I see that he's the real deal; because Goggins' book and process echo so much of what Todd is saying. Also, thanks for confirming my suspicion about Sinek. 😆

[@Ubermensch1111]

Yeah David Goggins alter ego is *Goggins*.He literally said that in an interview.
