@23:40 I loved the sections on the one-second decision and @53:33 enabling discipline by having an organized mind and life. I think these go well together and speak to how he has managed to become the person he is.
Chris!! Your fucking awesome brother. Been following your show for some time and this is one of my absolute favorites. GOGGINS is someone many of us myself included should be striving to be.
So true. People talk about the world getting them down, but Goggins reminds me that it can never really get you down if you constantly are rebuilding yourself all around into a stronger you. A stronger you is a stronger world 🌎
This guy isn’t balanced. In life you most of us draw from being within a group a marriage a family. His voice and intensity are not healthy for Corning relationships. 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. I don’t consider this out purpose on this earth indeed don’t find it healthy at all!
@@joestrummer-mo5vr True, but generally* mental “attacks” from others come from yourself. Words or thoughts from others do not inherently have power over you until your mind *gives* them power, thus you control whether others can mentally attack you.
Romans 8:38-39 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
What amazes me about Goggins is his humbleness. He could easily be more popular than he is right now. However, instead of seeking fame, he seeks personal growth every day. This is so inspirational.
100%. I have had so many of these life experiences, health issues that almost took me out, and had to start over again and learn to walk. No time for feeling sorry for one's self, have to get the mind in gear and get back in the game and test one's mind to take me there.
I recommend you get his first book Can’t Hurt Me. I preferred the audiobook because of the podcast with the reader in between chapters. He takes you deep into who he was before he became the man he is today. He was the complete opposite.
Thank you for the support. Actually I'm waiting for his 2nd book to be delivered this week. I have things in common with his childhood. I have always been a hard charger. 4 yrs ago I had a frozen shoulder. The doctor required therapy before surgery. That was 2 years of horrable pain and restriction. Got fat, 55 lbs. Retired and have been completely lost. This has given me hope and direction. So grateful for a path forward.
My name is Langston and I am a 14 year old girl and David Goggins has changed my life, perception, and reality. My favorite thing to do is workout for 3 hours while listening to a David Goggins talking complication. It takes a lot to be mentally tough and I know that I am not there yet but I will be.
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.
@@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
@@nathanaelmorales760 yea you just do it, then you do it again, then when you don’t want to do it again, when you get to that decision point of should I do this or not do this, you again just do it. That’s how you do it
@@nathanaelmorales760 i got through my first struggles, apins and injuries by jogging the distance i was going to run instead of running it, took time but its still 12km in my books.
"Your purpose is you." I've never before put my hands on my knees, bent over, tearing up, so fast from one searingly honest comment like this. This interview is a gift. Thank you.
David doesn't smile a lot. But there, in that moment where he asks Chris to keep talking about the comfort zone which he refuses to accept, you can literally see his eyes light up with joy. The man loves to be a different breed. Absolute legend.
"You're thinking about what you could've been. I am exactly what I should've been!" - Goggins Wow! That hit me like a lightning bolt. Immediately wrote it down. This man has so much truth in his words. Absolutely inspirational.
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.
You got this! I know that right now it seems as if you have wasted so many years, but in a year or two years you’ll be so happy with the progress you’ve made. I wasted many years, but it’s been about 9 months of me fulfilling what I want to do and I’ve felt great. You got this
@@aidenweinstein3716 Thank you for the motivational words :). I believe in the process and that in a couple of years i will have the life that desired for many years now.
@@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.
David Goggins is truly an inspiration to anyone who has ever wanted to push their limits. His incredible story and journey of self-improvement is one that we should all try to follow as closely as possible. He has proven over and over again what the power of determination and dedication can do, even in the face of adversity. His story is one that should motivate us all to never give up on our dreams and goals - no matter how hard they seem. Great stuff Chris!
I recommend adding Nassim Nicholas Taleb to the list as brutally honest philosopher and life changing thinker ... If you read his book "Antifragile" you will be able to get David Goggins at deeper levels!
Agreed. Anyone else with similar role models care to add to the list? For me, definitely have to add Alan Watts, Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Kurt Vonnegut, and maybe more.
David Goggins, Jocko Willink, Lex Fridman, Chris Williamson and Robert Greene... I cant tell you how much I have learnt from these guys... Hey Chris If you read this I just want to say Thank you.
Knowing yalls pasts only makes me respect yall more. Im a car accident survivor, dad and brother died, trying to get out of the victim mindset. Seeing two people with struggles, overcome, is ❤️❤️❤️
I know the quote "We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”for a long time, but David showed me how important it actually is for your everday life. You choose between short very intensive periods of pain or very long lasting but also intensive pain. So choose wisley and stay focused on what really matters!
I have listened to this episode 3x the last time taking notes. I’ve done hard things before but couldn’t understand why I can’t now. Now I know why. Now it makes sense. I did hard things out of trauma and now there is no trauma to drive/motivate. Now is time to dig deeper than I ever have before and drive myself out of pride for those accomplishments, have discipline eat motivation for breakfast, lunch, and mother-fucking dinner! I’m going to push myself for me and my goals and dreams. I will be “the master of my dreams.” Thank you for this episode
A successful man doing a dangerous $15/hr job just to learn new things is super impressive. Not only is this amazing, it shows humility. I love his mindset. He reaches a lot of ppl who want better for themselves. Great podcast as well btw.
Over the last few months, you two gentlemen have inspired me to workout, quit drinking, quit smoking, and dream big!! All four are going very well. Thank you!!
As a 30yr old single mother that grow up with a single mother, I find Davids advice moving. This man has given me the strength to face my own darkness. I’m truly grateful you choose to over come your adversaries and set that grown work for others. Truly knowing yourself and overcoming those battles within yourself will give you peace. I can’t put into words how grateful I am for your work. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤
“If you can dream-and not make dreams your master; If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same….” - “If,” by Rudyard Kipling
"They are suffering because they are thinking where they could've been. I am exactly where I should've been".. Man, this hit me hard, deep in my soul. I have to get up, stop feeling sorry for myself, stop thinking about what I couldn't do in the past and just think about the future. What I can do now is what matters. Every second you're alive, you have a chance. Take it or leave it. But if you leave it, you'll have the same regret everyone has, what if....
yeh wow well conveyed!!! Not all storms, come to disrupt our lives some come to clear a path..After-all If you give it, your all, you can’t fail as you 100% Tried but make sure you give your all that’s the toughness you can develop.. Even a stopped watch, is right twice a day
" I meditate 2 hours every night so i organize the garage of my mind". This hit home for me hard. I feel there is so much potential in me but because it such a chaos in my mind my discipline is not consistent and low. I was figuring this out lately and now David just says it. That why his mind is so razor sharp. I want that as well and I need to get to work ffs.
David Goggins saved my life . I got tired of seeing evil everyday, bullies (grown adults). Im no punk , I’m respected but people test me everyday, ones who don’t know me and judge ,I’m currently in the military. You get tired of doing right, pleasing others all day that you forget about yourself and your family because you assume they are ok . Everyone is in a different boat , but Thank You Goggins, you saved my life honestly . I owe you .
Goggins has helped build my new mind. My medical situation gives me all the excuses I need to just sit in an ergonomic chair and just wait to be fixed by Health Care. I soon knew, no one was coming to save me. I would have to dig deep "embrace the suck" and just master my life. I am now working harder than I did when I once felt normal back when I was 19 years old. All of this is done in pain, with body limitations and other obstacles. Thank you for your inspiration.
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!
I think about all the suffering that David Goggins went thru as a kid and then as an adult through his physical training. I know it was awful for him but he did an amazing thing. He gave all that suffering a purpose by opening himself up to the world and sharing the transformation he went through. To take such an awful thing and turn it into great purpose is tremendous and shows the true strength of character he has. Thank you David Goggins for not falling permanently into a victim mindset but instead modeling for all of us what it means to be a true warrior and a champion. Thank you!
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!
"One day things are gonna come up & if you're not constantly performing without purpose, you're not gonna be ready when the time comes" ! "The main purpose in life is you" incredible !
I admire how vulnerable these guys are, digging deep to understand how they felt in the past, freely sharing their emotions, and realizing how and what they were feeling at a certain time, but they would never know nor have a conversation about it if it wasnt for self realization, self growth, and discipline. "there are more interesting conversations about life and how to live it the right way when two people can be in honest and vulnerable but accepting dialogue"
David Goggins understands the power in the journey of life better than anyone I've ever come across. He's an incredible inspiration. Chris, you are one of the most thoughtful and present podcasters going around, and I'm pretty sure that David Goggins felt that too. Thank you, both.
Listened to this on Spotify while I was working but wanted to come back to UA-cam just to give a like and comment for the UA-cam algorithm. This genuinely was a good podcast in the ways you interacted with David with the questions asked. The work you put in prior to this meeting really shows. As well, the audio and video quality here is Crisp ! Well done Chris and Dean!
@@williamkreth I have a Kapha body type it’s called in Ayurveda, prone to lethargy, gain weight easily. Perform dynamic weight training, compound strength training, and 45 minutes of cardio daily pre dynamic strength training. Feel great. Sometimes you gotta go a little crazy to make big changes, as Goggins says, f*ck a normal mindset.
I wish I would have been able to follow David when I was in college. But you can't change the past and can only focus on learning from it. I'm grateful to him for offering his window into his own darkness and his leadership on overcoming it.
Anytime I see a David Goggins post, I roll my eyes because I know what he’s gonna say. Then I listen, and every single time I feel like I can run through brick walls 😅. A vicious cycle
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.
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.
Just a note for people taking up running. It is easy to misconstrue David's messages to mean go out there and push yourself as hard as you can all the time. For running as a beginner this will most likely cause injury. He advocates training by heart rate (which is moderate/easy running) which is widely accepted as the best method (often known as maffetone training). The pushing yourself part is showing up and getting after it almost every day. This will make you a good runner. You have to (for most people) build a base of fitness and strength before doing the harder training. Source: learned the hard way. All the best!
Big respect David. You are the real deal! Watching you is 😢 bringing a big lump to my throat! You are a good man- keep growing! Massive respect for a real man and a warrior! I am a 70 year old Englishman recovering from a stroke who has just discovered you and discovered there's plenty for my generation to learn from younger generations. More than everything you are a wise man, much wiser than me for all my life experience! Thank you so much!
I’m not gonna lie David actually speaks a lot of truth if u think about it, he always says we can always go so much longer than the body tells us we can go until failure. X
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
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
As I sit here at a desk job in the corporate world, I have always realized I went down the wrong career path for my true calling after separating from the Navy where I did SAR. I am 49 now and still feel like a 20 something wanting to do stuff like this again. This guy really gets my inner warrior fired up again. He is what motivation looks like in human form
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...
I think it's an ugly and unfortunate truth, but bullies are necessary. It's crucial that we all face some amount of adversity as children, when we are helpless and vulnerable.
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.
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.
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
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 UA-cam 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!
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! 👏🏼
Goggin's is dropping some serious knowledge as always, "mental toughness is a perishable skill." I'm thankful to be reminded of this. I've become too comfortable riding my previous accomplishments. Time to get back to work - Thank you for the amazing content!
Chris, your best episode yet. I’m impressed with your combination of quiet reflection, story telling, counselling skills and depth of understanding on each element Dave discusses and how you link these perfectly with personal stories that you and audience can relate. This my friend, is your best work and wish you and your team nothing but success in the years to come. Best regards.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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
Bingo. Congrats on the success
@@nathanaelmorales760 yea you just do it, then you do it again, then when you don’t want to do it again, when you get to that decision point of should I do this or not do this, you again just do it. That’s how you do it
@@nathanaelmorales760 i got through my first struggles, apins and injuries by jogging the distance i was going to run instead of running it, took time but its still 12km in my books.
"Your purpose is you." I've never before put my hands on my knees, bent over, tearing up, so fast from one searingly honest comment like this. This interview is a gift. Thank you.
Yup. That shakes me up too.
it hit me hard ... one of the best quote ive ever heard
glazing
The same backstory is what helped me out here in Africa zambia..
I don't understand how people get worked up over shit like that.
bruh
really?
I’m at rock bottom. Somehow, this podcast found me. Thank you for taking the time to enrich and empower others. I needed to hear this TODAY!
I was EXACTLY where you’re at, and great news… Goggins showed me the power we ALL have inside. .
@DavidGoggins-di8lf from your mum
Hope you are feeling better! ❤
@DavidGoggins-di8lffake goggin
Hope you are doing well
David doesn't smile a lot. But there, in that moment where he asks Chris to keep talking about the comfort zone which he refuses to accept, you can literally see his eyes light up with joy. The man loves to be a different breed. Absolute legend.
check his podcasts with joe rogan, he laughs and smiles a lot. got a good sense of humour
@@rn9405 on the second podcast yes, but generally he doesnt smile or laugh much
Goggins has quite literally become superhuman.
Time stamp bro?! Love Goggins so much

"You're thinking about what you could've been. I am exactly what I should've been!" - Goggins
Wow! That hit me like a lightning bolt. Immediately wrote it down. This man has so much truth in his words. Absolutely inspirational.
That statement hit me like a punch in the face. Beautiful
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.
You got this! I know that right now it seems as if you have wasted so many years, but in a year or two years you’ll be so happy with the progress you’ve made. I wasted many years, but it’s been about 9 months of me fulfilling what I want to do and I’ve felt great. You got this
@@aidenweinstein3716 Thank you for the motivational words :). I believe in the process and that in a couple of years i will have the life that desired for many years now.
@@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.
This man is a mental titan. Props to David Goggins for showing us how tough our minds can get.
David Goggins is truly an inspiration to anyone who has ever wanted to push their limits. His incredible story and journey of self-improvement is one that we should all try to follow as closely as possible. He has proven over and over again what the power of determination and dedication can do, even in the face of adversity. His story is one that should motivate us all to never give up on our dreams and goals - no matter how hard they seem. Great stuff Chris!
OH REALLY?
Stay fucking hard
David is that inner voice we all have that we don’t like. So necessary, so neglected. Thank you!
You couldn't have said it any better bro! Facts
I really think david goggins has achieved enlightenment and has forever attained bliss!!,
Its great to see David Goggins back. I am lucky to have role models like Dr.Peterson, Jocko, David, Andrew Huberman & you Chris !!
I recommend adding Nassim Nicholas Taleb to the list as brutally honest philosopher and life changing thinker ... If you read his book "Antifragile" you will be able to get David Goggins at deeper levels!
Wow, we have the same role models
Agreed. Anyone else with similar role models care to add to the list?
For me, definitely have to add Alan Watts, Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Kurt Vonnegut, and maybe more.
@Kofi E-A Absolutely, especially in our accelerating VUCA world!
@@tracyhouserI have to add Joe Rogan. Alan Watts is a good one.
David Goggins, Jocko Willink, Lex Fridman, Chris Williamson and Robert Greene... I cant tell you how much I have learnt from these guys... Hey Chris If you read this I just want to say Thank you.
Add your list Andrew Huberman and Ryan Holiday
our youtube dads
Lex Fridman, really ???
@@thelmaviaduct right. remember when joe rogan called him a nerd LMAO
@@Jnigo joe is a knucklehead
Knowing yalls pasts only makes me respect yall more. Im a car accident survivor, dad and brother died, trying to get out of the victim mindset. Seeing two people with struggles, overcome, is ❤️❤️❤️
I know the quote "We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”for a long time, but David showed me how important it actually is for your everday life. You choose between short very intensive periods of pain or very long lasting but also intensive pain.
So choose wisley and stay focused on what really matters!
Well said. 💯
I like this
This quote 🔥🔥🔥
last was impactive
I love this man. He really escaped the matrix, and he's trying to save us. Thank you David 🤝
I have listened to this episode 3x the last time taking notes. I’ve done hard things before but couldn’t understand why I can’t now. Now I know why. Now it makes sense. I did hard things out of trauma and now there is no trauma to drive/motivate. Now is time to dig deeper than I ever have before and drive myself out of pride for those accomplishments, have discipline eat motivation for breakfast, lunch, and mother-fucking dinner! I’m going to push myself for me and my goals and dreams. I will be “the master of my dreams.” Thank you for this episode
I love this - I'm feeling the same
hope you achieve your feats man!
Love to hear it. Stay hard
what was the reason cause i am going through that moment right now
Wow nailed it
So relieved and proud to release this one. It’s been a long time in the making.
@@ThaLatePizzaBoithank you! We had a great team on this one.
Well done mate
I have a very similar life experience with you, but I'm still on the f'd up side more. It was enlightening.
It captures the details that everyone else has missed, the camera and the questions... Bravo 👏👏👏
klasse !
He's my inspiration literally saved my life when I was at my lowest was almost 290 now I'm 235 and getting better every day STAY HARD
🙌🙌💜
I take Viagra to stay hard
MashAllah ❤
STAY HARD!
Great my man. Go on working
A successful man doing a dangerous $15/hr job just to learn new things is super impressive. Not only is this amazing, it shows humility. I love his mindset. He reaches a lot of ppl who want better for themselves. Great podcast as well btw.
Over the last few months, you two gentlemen have inspired me to workout, quit drinking, quit smoking, and dream big!! All four are going very well. Thank you!!
Keep it up
Eh have a beer or two when your done .
“In the battle you find peace “ this is great bro

Chesty Mike ftw!
What's poppin
first things thrst
Too much natty
Mike knows what's up. Glad to see you watching high quality content
As a 30yr old single mother that grow up with a single mother, I find Davids advice moving. This man has given me the strength to face my own darkness. I’m truly grateful you choose to over come your adversaries and set that grown work for others. Truly knowing yourself and overcoming those battles within yourself will give you peace. I can’t put into words how grateful I am for your work. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤
I absolutely love this human being. No one has ever motivated me like him. He's just really, really, really friggin' real.
I am 72 years old and still getting after it. 05:00 3 times per week on the mat with Goggins.
"Don't let your dreams become your master" - David Goggins
That was awesome.
“If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same….”
- “If,” by Rudyard Kipling
"They are suffering because they are thinking where they could've been. I am exactly where I should've been".. Man, this hit me hard, deep in my soul. I have to get up, stop feeling sorry for myself, stop thinking about what I couldn't do in the past and just think about the future. What I can do now is what matters. Every second you're alive, you have a chance. Take it or leave it. But if you leave it, you'll have the same regret everyone has, what if....
yeh wow well conveyed!!!
Not all storms, come to disrupt our lives some come to clear a path..After-all If you give it, your all, you can’t fail as you 100% Tried but make sure you give your all that’s the toughness you can develop..
Even a stopped watch, is right twice a day
Amen!
Be so busy with the future, that you don’t have to time think about past regrets
Very very good.
This guy embodies the pinnacle of wisdom.
Expert interview. Kudos
I just love the fact that he is so gritty. It just feels very authentic hence why i admire Goggins so much. Brilliant podcast!💯
" I meditate 2 hours every night so i organize the garage of my mind". This hit home for me hard. I feel there is so much potential in me but because it such a chaos in my mind my discipline is not consistent and low. I was figuring this out lately and now David just says it. That why his mind is so razor sharp. I want that as well and I need to get to work ffs.
Every word is truth. He just speaks facts and truth. It is so inspiring
I also relate heavily to this. Hope your journey is going well!
David Goggins saved my life . I got tired of seeing evil everyday, bullies (grown adults). Im no punk , I’m respected but people test me everyday, ones who don’t know me and judge ,I’m currently in the military. You get tired of doing right, pleasing others all day that you forget about yourself and your family because you assume they are ok . Everyone is in a different boat , but Thank You Goggins, you saved my life honestly . I owe you .
Goggins has helped build my new mind. My medical situation gives me all the excuses I need to just sit in an ergonomic chair and just wait to be fixed by Health Care. I soon knew, no one was coming to save me. I would have to dig deep "embrace the suck" and just master my life. I am now working harder than I did when I once felt normal back when I was 19 years old. All of this is done in pain, with body limitations and other obstacles. Thank you for your inspiration.
Yep even if you have a justifiable 'reason' to give up doesn't mean you should 😊
I love this!! Hope your journey is going well!
"The purpose is always you".
Exactly! 100%
Thanks.
David goggins is the best. I don't wake up an run 100 miles but I've started working out everyday and I swear it's like the depression fell off me.
Thank you for this
Thank you for this post.
Respect to Goggins, so humble, full of humility and absent of ego. God for sure is pleased with you! More life more blessings.
He conquered God
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!
I think about all the suffering that David Goggins went thru as a kid and then as an adult through his physical training. I know it was awful for him but he did an amazing thing. He gave all that suffering a purpose by opening himself up to the world and sharing the transformation he went through. To take such an awful thing and turn it into great purpose is tremendous and shows the true strength of character he has. Thank you David Goggins for not falling permanently into a victim mindset but instead modeling for all of us what it means to be a true warrior and a champion. Thank you!
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
Exactly how I think of him. He creates his own values, people follow, and he transcends the ordinary
Wim Hof?
Excellent and accurate observation.
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!
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
"One day things are gonna come up & if you're not constantly performing without purpose, you're not gonna be ready when the time comes" ! "The main purpose in life is you" incredible !
I admire how vulnerable these guys are, digging deep to understand how they felt in the past, freely sharing their emotions, and realizing how and what they were feeling at a certain time, but they would never know nor have a conversation about it if it wasnt for self realization, self growth, and discipline. "there are more interesting conversations about life and how to live it the right way when two people can be in honest and vulnerable but accepting dialogue"
David Goggins understands the power in the journey of life better than anyone I've ever come across. He's an incredible inspiration. Chris, you are one of the most thoughtful and present podcasters going around, and I'm pretty sure that David Goggins felt that too. Thank you, both.
Goggins mindset has completely changed my life. Thank you David and Chris for a great podcast.
Listened to this on Spotify while I was working but wanted to come back to UA-cam just to give a like and comment for the UA-cam algorithm. This genuinely was a good podcast in the ways you interacted with David with the questions asked. The work you put in prior to this meeting really shows. As well, the audio and video quality here is Crisp
! Well done Chris and Dean!
I’ve listened to this 10 times, going for another 10. Working out everyday, no days off!
Why no days off ? I mean if u feel good keep doing it. But over exercising actually lowers your quality of life
@@williamkreth I have a Kapha body type it’s called in Ayurveda, prone to lethargy, gain weight easily. Perform dynamic weight training, compound strength training, and 45 minutes of cardio daily pre dynamic strength training. Feel great. Sometimes you gotta go a little crazy to make big changes, as Goggins says, f*ck a normal mindset.
I wish I would have been able to follow David when I was in college. But you can't change the past and can only focus on learning from it. I'm grateful to him for offering his window into his own darkness and his leadership on overcoming it.
Anytime I see a David Goggins post, I roll my eyes because I know what he’s gonna say. Then I listen, and every single time I feel like I can run through brick walls 😅. A vicious cycle
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.
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.
Just a note for people taking up running. It is easy to misconstrue David's messages to mean go out there and push yourself as hard as you can all the time. For running as a beginner this will most likely cause injury. He advocates training by heart rate (which is moderate/easy running) which is widely accepted as the best method (often known as maffetone training). The pushing yourself part is showing up and getting after it almost every day. This will make you a good runner. You have to (for most people) build a base of fitness and strength before doing the harder training.

All the best!
Big respect David. You are the real deal! Watching you is 😢 bringing a big lump to my throat! You are a good man- keep growing! Massive respect for a real man and a warrior! I am a 70 year old Englishman recovering from a stroke who has just discovered you and discovered there's plenty for my generation to learn from younger generations. More than everything you are a wise man, much wiser than me for all my life experience! Thank you so much!
How are you recovering sir ?
I’m not gonna lie David actually speaks a lot of truth if u think about it, he always says we can always go so much longer than the body tells us we can go until failure. X
He’s so inspirational ong bro
I thank God for giving us another Goggins podcast 🙏
Fr 😂
"Unchosen suffering is going to happen, the only thing you can do is have some chosen suffering to prepare for it" beautiful quote
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
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
As I sit here at a desk job in the corporate world, I have always realized I went down the wrong career path for my true calling after separating from the Navy where I did SAR. I am 49 now and still feel like a 20 something wanting to do stuff like this again. This guy really gets my inner warrior fired up again. He is what motivation looks like in human form
Couldn't agree more with your experience.
Cant believe how amazing goggins is. So much wisdom here. "Don't let the dream become your master". Insanely wise
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...
I think it's an ugly and unfortunate truth, but bullies are necessary. It's crucial that we all face some amount of adversity as children, when we are helpless and vulnerable.
"The world is tough"... so very true!!!! Thank you David for NOT sugarcoating the truth!
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
41:29 just shut up and let me enjoy this pain

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.
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.
Its so touching when Chris talked about bully and his message has a great impact on the world. Inspiring, Chris
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
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 UA-cam 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!
Stay hard
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! 👏🏼
Goggin's is dropping some serious knowledge as always, "mental toughness is a perishable skill." I'm thankful to be reminded of this. I've become too comfortable riding my previous accomplishments. Time to get back to work - Thank you for the amazing content!
Huge thanks for not adding any music.
Utmost respect to Chris for not interrupting David while speaking.
Thank you very much to both for podcast.
Undeniable stack of truth. "You must build belief, you must build confidence!" Love that quote.
The most impressive thing about Goggins is the fact he resisted answering most of these questions with ‘STAY HARD’
This man is beyond. Thank God he exists. True inspiration.
Chris, your best episode yet. I’m impressed with your combination of quiet reflection, story telling, counselling skills and depth of understanding on each element Dave discusses and how you link these perfectly with personal stories that you and audience can relate. This my friend, is your best work and wish you and your team nothing but success in the years to come. Best regards.
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
*I know no one is reading this but... May God bless you and free you from your problems and protect all your family and friends🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖*
Thanks 😊 I needed that
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.
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
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.
David got me setting a new life challenge for myself running wise. Also not smoked nothing for 4 weeks. God Bless You David your changing my life.
You are changing your life. Give yourself more credit.
How you holding up bro?
Taking the world of Podcasting to another level. Congratulations on hosting & organizing this Chris. Inspiring.
You know you’ve arrived at a good place, when you can say genuinely that discomfort is a friend.
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.
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.
I've watched a lot of Goggin's interviews, this is by far the best.
