David Goggins is a former navy seal who ran 100 miles without training. 

He went through the toughest training on the planet three times. *   

David Goggins ran multiple ultra marathons in one summer. He lost almost a third of his body weight in three months to qualify as a navy seal.   

He defied all odds - coming from a household where his Dad abused him - violently.

 He was scared of the water, yet he forced himself to "live in the water" so that he could become a navy seal. Indeed one of the most interesting stories of David Goggins is where he was (as part of his training) forced to tie knots under water without surfacing to breathe.

 If you surface to breathe - then you fail. David wanted to prove his strength to the instructor so he tied three knots in one go!   

The reason why I think David Goggins is such a powerful person to learn about is because he is someone who appears to have "Mastered their mind". 

The way that David Goggins does this, is he has forced himself to suffer. 

By pushing himself to do horrible things he argues that he is "callusing his brain". This is crucial, because when the tough times come, you need to be able to draw upon that strength.   

My other favourite lesson from David Goggins is the importance of dealing with your problems "one at a time". He puts all of his energy and all of his focus on resolving one character flaw - and then he moves onto the next.  

 Here are some great Goggins quotes:   

"Social Media is a great place to tell you who you want to be - not who we are."   "I put my whole life, a guy who was scared of water, a guy who couldn't read and write... and I put everything on being a navy seal... I did all of that just to get the opportunity to be a navy seal... ruined relationships, ruined that."  We hope that this video helps you to start: "Mastering your mind"  

David Goggins is not necessarily known as a business leader or a cereal entrepreneur, but I have no doubt that business leaders and cereal entrepreneurs can learn so much from his perspective. Don't let your journey into learning about David Goggins stop here.

*Subjective statement. I don't actually know what the toughest training on the planet is, but it sounded pretty rough.   Please note because this is a fake interview some of the statements of the people may have been taken out of context.
