[Vishen] Welcome everyone. Our guest today is someone whom you’re going to want to listen to this over and over and over again because this is one of the most intense, awakening, like kick-in-the-butt trainings I’ve ever done of any guest I’ve ever brought onto the show. David Goggins is an exceptional human being, he’s one of the only people in the US Military to complete SEAL training, Ranger training, Tactical Air Control training, he’s an Ultramarathon runner, his book is called Can’t Hurt Me and he is a guy who got to this level, he’s one of the most inspirational people on the internet right now. You’ve probably seen him on podcasts, on shows like Impact Theory but the craziest thing about David is how he got to this level. A couple of years ago, he was simply a guy killing cockroaches for a living and then he made a decision in life to do something different, to peak and look at the man he could be and then to go through as much suffering and pain as he could relentlessly to become that man and his message is going to wake you up. We are recording this in New York, so you’re going to hear the sounds of New York around us, New York is not an easy place to record in and I also want you to know that David is one of the most real, authentic and true-to-himself human beings I’ve ever encountered, so he’s going to speak the way he speaks unapologetically, so know that there’s going to be a ton of expletives in here and just get used to it. Now, let’s bring on the set David Goggins. So I want you guys to remember this about this training that we’re having with David Goggins. This man is raw. This man is real. This man is not going to sugar-coat what he’s about to say. That’s why I think he’s such an inspiration for so many, because it’s so rare to meet someone who is so true their own soul that they don’t give a fuck what you think of them. And in fact, this attitude is actually one of the key hallmarks of human transformation. In fact, in transformational theory there’s a name for this type of attitude. It’s called authenticity. So when you listen to David, you’re going to see how one can be truly authentic to who they are, and some of this, hopefully, is going to rub off on you. So let’s welcome to the set David Goggins. [David] I appreciate you having me, thank you. [Vishen] Thank you, David. It was, every now and then I come across a guest that I see on a different media channel, and I watched you on Impact Theory, and you blew me away. In fact, a random fact is David and I are the first two ever guests on Impact Theory to come back and do a second recording on Impact Theory. And when I was there in Tom Bilyeu’s studio to do that second recording, on the table next to me in the dressing room I saw a plaque that said Congratulations to David Goggin for hitting one million views. [David] Right.

[Vishen] So I’m like, who is this guy? One million view, I got to check it out. And I checked it out. And, man, that is one of my favorite Impact Theory episodes of all time. [David] I appreciate it. [Vishen] So let’s get started, David. One of the things that is most remarkable about you, in addition to all the records that you’ve hit, right, is where you came from. [David] Right. [Vishen] Tell us about that. Tell us about where that drive, that intensity, comes from. [David] Well it comes from a real place. You know, the kind of passion that I bring to my life is something that you can’t just make up. It has to come from the sewer. And that’s how I look at my life. I came from the sewer. You know, I didn’t have these great parents. I didn’t have this great education. I didn’t have a real loving family. I can’t remember how many, I can probably count on one hand how many times we say I love you in my household. So my dad was a very abusive man. He would wake up and start drinking. He loved scotch. He’d wake up in the morning time and start drinking scotch. When he’d get drunk, he’d get violent. And so from the time I was born to the time I was eight years old, I experienced some serious beat-downs, from, you know, and you never know when, like, it wasn’t like you had to do something really bad. It wasn’t like that. Just be alive made him upset. So that’s how I lived for about eight years, just getting beat like that from my father, and then when that ended, I was eight years old. We moved to a small town called Brazil, Indiana. And that started another nightmare. And what’s funny about that is that we lived in Buffalo, New York, where all this started. And we lived in a place called, it was 201 Paradise Road. 201 Paradise Road was the name of our street. And it’s funny because
