‘I come from hell, I had to persevere through a lot, I got judged growing up so all I want to truly do for people is be for the fucking underdog’ 

From ultra-marathons to Guinness world records,  David Goggins is considered to be among the world’s best ultra-endurance athletes. In this raw and real interview, he discusses with Rob his journey and the reasons why he continues to push himself every day. Listen in to find out how you could tap into your power and change your life. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Anyone can be who they want to be if they are prepared to find their purpose and the power within them. 

How does someone listening get more committed, achieve more success? 

• Finding your purpose can be a challenge because there is too much noise in the world. It’s vital to be quiet in your mind and look for the truth about yourself and your purpose. 

• Every day is a battle because your mind wants to choose the path of least resistance. 
• I choose the battle because I don’t want to be ordinary. 
• It’s overcoming yourself at all costs whatever that takes. It’s about being at a point in your life where you don’t care about being judged. 
• You know yourself; you’ve put yourself through hell and walked the walk to be where you are. 
• Once you can recognise all these bad experiences are the ultimate training ground for life, you start looking at your past very differently. 

What do you do it get in control of things? 

• I do lots of visualisation and self-talk. I know I have the ability now to go to a place that is hyper-focused and accomplish some amazing feats because I allowed my mind to be open to the possibilities of what I can achieve. 

What is failure for you? 

• It is something you should be afraid of and that’s why you should out and challenging yourself to fail. If you are not failing at something it means you’ve set your goals to succeed and they are not set high enough for growth and achievement. 
• I knew going into all the challenges I have taken that was there a high possibility of failing, it took me several attempts to achieve and it was failing that drove me to ultimately succeed. 

• Without failure you don’t accomplish anything, you are looking for those seconds and the feeling when you finally work out how to succeed at the challenge facing you. 
• Most of us fail in life because we are worried about what everyone else is thinking, we live by the narrative of other people. 

You’ve commercialised very well, how have you managed to pivot into business? 

• I’m not about money, you have to first be authentic and know what your brand is, everything I do and say is authentic to me. 
• When you truly want to help someone out that’s when you have a business. Your business is when you have a good product that helps others. 
• My business is true to who I am, I’m here to help you. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘How I grew up was the ultimate training ground for my mentality’ 

‘You are allowing other people to shackle your mind’ 

‘I realised that once I started talking to myself in the right way I was in control’ 

‘We don’t do those things we are not good at, but we have to own both our strengths and weaknesses’ 

‘Everyone has a power within them, but many are mediocre everyday’
