Fail Your Way to the Top: David Goggins' Guide to Personal Growth

all right guys welcome to another episode of close and Conquer I have probably well I'm the most excited David of of any of the podcast I've done because it's you and I'm G be honest with you because we just come off of you speaking to 5,000 plus people and the reality is what I want to get right into uh this podcast the reason I decided to start doing a year ago is purely that I saw all these people struggling in their business world and I'm like I didn't have any experience you know my mom didn't

have any experience we had no money and I saw a lot of people making money and I saw L people not believe in themselves and I've not met anybody I said this out on stage that I'm actually I almost I once felt like if I was you recruiting me I was going to start over again I'm like I already work here I'm get excited like I'm G to start over again I work here and I want to get right into um some of the things you talked about because the majority of the people that are

that are downloading this and listening to this are are looking for help in their business in life in general and all the advice you're given has been very specific but like it can help you in every in every capacity right you talked a lot about mindset and you talked a lot about you know what it feels like to fail how you got to fail your way ahead and the reality is that take any industry real estate life insurance any sales position there are a million two million people doing it and there's 27 million people that

have quit right H how how have you been able to to teach people because hell I don't think you I mean I read your book right which is when I see you and I read the book I'm like I know he's not lying but damn I can't it's hard to picture I can't picture it no I can't actually do it like I know you're not lying but I'm like I just even when I was reading I was like dude and then when I met you I was I kept losing my mind like I know he's

telling the truth what did you do over those years to develop and they ain't got to be you they ain't got to run 250 miles right they they they don't have to you know come up surgery 13 weeks later and do like you talk about doing something 440 miles I'm like dude I get tired driving my car 440 miles and I'm I ain't lying to you like I'm not going to I want to be the best I can be at what I'm doing right what what can you talk to us about that can make them

and I love when you keep saying bad [ __ ] because they can be a bad [ __ ] for the family right in their life as a coach as a parent as whatever it is as a leader in business as an employee MH please talk to us about that because you breathed a ton of life into me so one big thing is a lot of people it's it's hard to to imagine but you have to learn how to fail because I'm gonna explain this to you I had Big Dreams a lot of us have

Big Dreams big goals and when you have goals that are maybe outside your reach you have to know that getting to that goal you're gonna have a lot of bad days a lot of setbacks so like when I was losing 106 pounds in three months the first two month or first two weeks it's like I was G gaining weight you know I would lose a pound gain two so I was just failing I kept failing and kept failing and kept failing so I had to teach myself how to fail right and what that means is

when I fail I can't spend much time in that fail Zone I have to be able to get up and get after the next day just as fast because my goals were you know to be a Navy SEAL I don't have time to stay here and feel bad for myself for weeks and months and years because I'll lose that time so the big thing is know that if you have big goals and Big Dreams along the way failure is going to happen so how fast do you get up from that and you got to teach

yourself that but the biggest key to success in anything you do is you got to have an unlimited supply of [ __ ] [ __ ] you this drive and passion and it and it may come from nothing like for me there was no passion no drive no nothing but I had this this fire that I'm going to be somebody and it has to be there because on all those bad days and all those days you don't want to do [ __ ] you have to be your own motivator your own coach your own your

own trainer your own everything so to do that you have to come into work and work is whatever your work may be ready to go and what that means is you may have failed miserably yesterday but you come to work like people like man you just lost everything how the hell are you this [ __ ] damn motivated because this is what it takes this is what the [ __ ] it takes and you got to get it from wherever you can whether you make up this illusion of your life or this false reality that

gets you motivated Whatever Gets You motivated it's got to be here at the tip of your brain at all times because in those dark moments you got to you got to pull it out so that's the big thing for me man I was always fired up up at all times you said a couple times matter of fact you said when you met Pastor Matthew I love what you said I was listening and he said you he said man we work on him and give him a year you said [ __ ] Year's real yep like

a Year's real he was talking about subm abuse treatment and getting people in and helping them out please just tell everybody what you're saying because I'm sitting there going like damn that Steep and it's so and then he's bobbing his head up and down and I heard you talk about that you leave him eating three four months like you're you're you're and then it just boom it comes crashing down goes what did you mean when you talk about like a year is real so he was talking about there's people in these different uh I guess

programs that do it for 30 days correct and there's a lot of programs that have are 30 days and 30-day programs are good but it's kind of a hack because while they say it takes three weeks to develop a habit or some it's always this hacky [ __ ] whatever it is I'm G tell you right now 30 days ain't gonna do [ __ ] for you the permanent you want to make it permanent permanent you start talking about a year 18 months two years that's a sacrifice and when you commit yourself to something for

a year you're not going to say oh I'm gonna let that go because in your mind you like I mean you you have it clear as day that year took a lot out of me that year built me that year started to scrape away all that scar tissue start to clean me up 30 days a clean [ __ ] up 30 days just kind of covers up put a blanket over it it's like it's like putting a rug over it a year it cleans you up nicely man whatever your problem is if if you can

dedicate yourself for a year to something you could be a changed person you know what's funny you said that and I had thought about I was Sharon I've been I sh I always shared about being sober cuz when I got sober this dude had been sober like 15 years I didn't do a program but he would have been the closest thing to a mentor and he said tell everybody peer pressure is powerful yep like let them know that's why we do any any company this company people been like you want to drink I said if

I start drinking quit seriously I will not lead you yep you will not want to you might follow me to it'll be a path of Destruction you need to quit right and you coach a lot of people people reach out to you what is the first thing you're trying to figure out about them is there five things 10 when you start because obviously you're you start getting in in their head and start what are you trying to figure out when they reach out you decide to take that on so I used to coach a lot

of people I don't coach anybody now but you used to coach I used to coach it okay so what it was my first question was okay what do you want to give up what are you willing to sacrifice what are you willing to forgo because a lot of people like this guy came me one time I was a trainer and he goes man I can stop doing anything but my Frappuccinos I go [ __ ] leave because I'm looking for that person like me people people it's hard for people to understand how I lost cost

106b in less than 3 months I sat down at the table and I said to myself what are you willing to give up everything and when people come to me with that kind of M mindset I can work with you when you are willing to strip yourself down to nothing and give everything that's who I want to work with because now I can mold you into exactly who you want to be when you put these restrictions up and that's why that's why my first question is how bad do you want this if it's as bad

as you want to live or breathe or sleep whatever the hell it may be I can work with you but a lot of people most people don't want it that badly which why they always ask the question man how do you get to where you are you know how to do it you know exactly how to be you or how to be me you don't want to do it so I can't make you do it nor do I have the time or energy to force you into that place that I know you have to be

to do it there's no luck in this game man it may be a little bit luck but the luck happens after you bust your ass and you put yourself in that lucky situation luck doesn't happen you put yourself in that situation where luck might [ __ ] happen and that's what people don't know but to get there luck ain't going to happen you have to put yourself in that situation man it takes a lot of work so so I was thinking about this as I was reading your book MH and because you know you go

play in the NFL dude you need talent I mean you can have the greatest mindset in the history of the world you know like and I'm not saying that you know attitude over talent I get all that y but Prof I've seen some pretty pretty [ __ ] up attitudes of professional athletes who still they're just really talented dude y because it requires Talent what you do is you know you said I'm not superhuman not Supernatural do you think so I'm just curious now straight curiosity yep do you think that anybody because the stuff you

do when you talk about it m biking across the country not across your town right or your State running that many miles it doesn't necessarily require athletic Talent like you don't have to be born okay do you think that anybody that and it's and talk about when they finish they don't need to finish second or 20th or do you think anybody that put their mind to it and did the training and gave up everything could do some of those races yes you do but they cannot do it with my body got it explain that if

you're healthy I've never been healthy like people think that the races I did in the military broke me I was broken way before then numerous health problems before I even got in the military really numerous I'm talking about like you know you're talking about like Sickle Cell yeah I remember that Twisted body from all the stress I was on as a kid different there's a lot of different problems thyroid issue adrenal issues all kind of [ __ ] that you had when you were young yes okay and so then they got magnified they got older

so I would go to the startline of a race like badw the 135 mile race to Death Valley no one knows this but if you go back and there's videos of me out there Google David goin's first video or or first uh badwater race you will see black compression tape on my ankles I have broken feet at the start line of 135 mile race how I your feet were broken broken and if you go back you will see as I'm finishing the race you will see this black compression tape floating behind me I went to

the start line of that race I trained for that race but broken [ __ ] feet and I don't talk about a lot because what happens is normal people with normal Minds can't understand that so then you become a liar or this and that but now I got to the point in my life I'm like you go [ __ ] yourself dude if you don't believe it go ahead but I don't talk about a lot because I I know what I've done and I know what the mind can do and where it can take you

I've experienced it over and over and my mom has seen it over and over and over again to the point where it's almost like I can't even believe sometimes but I want to go there I want to push myself to that limit and see what happens but you think Health people that don't have any health problems you think that they could go yes do these deals I think yes 100% really 100% because the majority of people think there's no way they could ever do it and that's the reason why they can't do it there you

go that's the only reason they have already put their cap on their success in life and that's why most people aren't sitting where you're sitting or sitting where I'm sitting you never cap yourself you might have and if you did you took it off 100% people cap themselves they look at somebody and because their mind can't imagine it they then start talking [ __ ] this he has to be doing this or he has to be doing that there has to be some trick has to be some potion this is [ __ ] no it's

because you cannot allow your mind to open up for the possibility of it can be done which is why you you being people yeah are where they are today yeah because you have not you've Shackled your mind to have limits and everybody has a limit but find it first you got a limit I haven't found it yet I don't think you have I haven't found it yet it's pretty crazy it's crazy haven't found it yet I find it at times but what happens is I then figure out how to get around it through it above

it climb over it so those limits um I'm always that's what I said I taught myself how to fail I'm always skirting on that like limit of like okay I'm there I'm there I'm there I'm there okay I failed but I was right there what did I miss what the [ __ ] did I miss oh that's what I [ __ ] missed and then it happens so so you made a comment I was reading a post I shared it with about everybody because I was like and I didn't realize the number but share for

everybody that may not have seen it how many people you said actually are online that are not following you watching your [ __ ] 23 million 23 million human beings 23 million nonf followers who will not follow you my phone right now pulled up who're not following you to like hey I'm checking out it they just want to walk watch it because they're so broken and so negative that they want to see what you're doing and pop off of the mouth about it that's right they don't want to follow me cuz then that shows weakness

on their part but they'll watch your [ __ ] but they'll watch my [ __ ] they watch my [ __ ] they'll gain something from it because that's why you're watching me yeah think about it man see people like you're talking about that you know during the speech people get hurt by these people I love them you're you're telling me every day cuz I used to be a weak [ __ ] too you're showing me every day who you are you 23 million people you're watching me but you don't want to admit you're watching

me this is great I know exactly who you are so while they want to come on some of them want to come on and offend me but you gotta see what's up with Goggins you gotta see what's up with them must see TV so so so so so you got to watch it so that's amazing I don't know who the [ __ ] you are never will never will because you haven't done enough for me to take notice but you know who the [ __ ] I am so this that alone gives me a lot

of power every day but that's what people got understand these haters they know who you are but you don't know them there's a reason behind that you've done something amazing they've done nothing correct period which is probably why they [ __ ] hate your ass they talk [ __ ] that's right and and you know it's funny CU somebody had I was looking at something one day and first of all there's nothing funny about being in bad Health there's nothing funny about being overweight no there's nothing funny about feeling like [ __ ] when you

take your shirt off and you're a dude there's nothing funny about taking your shirt off and going like I don't like this like I don't there's nothing funny about being in a pool with your shirt on y cuz you're fat that's why you're doing it you're not doing because it feels good W your shirt's on hell you were Navy SEAL would you rather have your shirt on or off you know what I mean right but and I'll see these people they go on they'll make these videos right I wonder cuz I always want to know

how you felt and and it's big fat dude with a shirt off and he's ah get and he's doing his thing and he don't he's not talking [ __ ] by the way he don't mean no harm right when you see if you ever see him I don't know if you ever see him or not I've been I've been people have shown me him a lot how do you feel about those I'm more just because I'm just morbidly curious I feel bad for him yeah um not because of for a lot of reasons first of

all if maybe you took your life more serious yeah lose some [ __ ] weight verus trying to imitate David Goggins first thing but second thing is where you going what do you want to do with your life bro like you're you saw David gogins and because now you want some followers I'm going to imitate David gogins and I'm gonna be a fat big old fat white dude that's right that runs and Spills a bunch of [ __ ] while it may be funny where the [ __ ] are you going correct you you look

like late 20s early 30s yeah where the [ __ ] are you going bro not very long or far life right now needs to really be kicking you in the back of head saying look man our time frame frame is done cuz what people don't get about life is up until you're about 30 you're [ __ ] you know what you're doing you're kind of just scrambling around unless you have good direction then you might figure it out from 30 to 50 something maybe 60 and then the back half your life you're [ __ ]

so two-thirds of your [ __ ] life you suck so the more you [ __ ] up that middle part from 30 to 50 40 to 60 is is you only got about good 25 years of like man I'm I'm killing it out here people don't get that so you're [ __ ] around out here running around your shirt off and you're in that you're in that window now of like you're starting to waste time bro trying to waste time so that's how I feel about it well I think also what's what's sad for me

and I've said this you know we do this no matter what you doing business right like I was broke as [ __ ] everybody's fine like when I got sober everybody's like man you didn't hang you know you don't hang out with anymore I'm like dude I have no problem hanging out with your fools but you somehow think I'm judging you I don't give a [ __ ] if you go get high and get drunk in my life right I still go to things too because I'm sober I don't say a word I ain't preaching

to you I a it's your business I wasn't trying to help honestly I was selfishly trying to help me right you talk about a year dude after 30 days it took me a year to sleep right like to actually go to sleep because when you go to sleep [ __ ] up every night that's how you get to sleep and I did every night seven days a week every month for years since the age of probably 13 and a half Jesus literally okay so it did and how many times I think about drinking and getting

high again every [ __ ] day yep when did that thought go away probably at two years in MH year I could start to sleep but the people around me and then I was broke but sober you talk about your 30s is crazy because I'm like I got into my 30s got sober right around 29 got in there started to figure some [ __ ] out yep now I'm 51 and you're starting to figure it out in a different way like you've accomplished this what's my next deal y you know for those people that are

out there in whatever window they're in right now I think they're they're so crippled by what they confront right because people get to them it doesn't seem like anybody gets to you but it but you have confronted some things at times like online which I and I I've been I don't follow [ __ ] but I've been following you for a while I know all the stuff mhm not cuz I thought you were going to speak with us speak to us one day I just have been and there was a guy some dude military guy

popping off about you and you took it on head I watched that whole thing dude that video like three times but I always want to know like he took the [ __ ] head on chips and cavar podcast yes yep why' you Cho cuz and you and I mean you smoked it oh yeah yo yeah I brought receipts you sure [ __ ] did brought re and it stopped oh yeah why did you decide that what was it about that when we were like man I I I I'm dealing with this one so this is

what it is man like my military career was everything for me yeah and I won't go too deep into it yeah but when you are trying to take away something that I work so hard for because you have a thing against me and a lot of people who are jealous I'm a man so I offend a lot of other so-called men just to cut to the [ __ ] chase understand all right y it took a lot for me to be a man it ain't [ __ ] easy no it's the hardest thing a man

a person can ever [ __ ] do in the world is be a man real dude y from working out to eating to family to [ __ ] doing all the shitty [ __ ] [ __ ] you ain't happy a lot correct a lot so so all this [ __ ] [ __ ] that people want to talk about oh man I ain't happy a lot all right I ain't supposed to be so when you live that way and people know you ain't [ __ ] lying and they saw the work you put in

it makes a [ __ ] feel Alpha makes Alpha feel a little bit weird around you so after a while when you exceed the standards of the military exceed the standards of Navy Seals and you're constantly going to this direction you're some fat dumb black dude could swim now you exceeding the standard starts to rub some people the wrong way and I would tell people about it not like talking [ __ ] to them but we got to be better like like I talked to that Ranger back there yep sure did who the [ __

] we are man that's what we got to do so when you try to take that from me I'm gonna I'm not I don't care who likes me I'm going to attack you head on you're GNA see my face I'm not g to cower I'm gonna call you the [ __ ] out I'm gonna bring my [ __ ] because I earned that so that's one thing as a that's what sucks as a man you know how nervous that was for me to sit back and know I'm going possibly have a whole [ __ ]

Community coming at me think about it I'm one dude yeah I'm attacking a whole bunch of [ __ ] that's why it's easier this to shut the [ __ ] up just quietly go away I sat back for months and said man I gotta [ __ ] do this and I'm and I went through everything I know this is going to come with it this going to come with it this going to come with it but I'll be able to [ __ ] sleep at night as a man MH and that's what came of that

you know he he ran his mouth he lied yeah and I said well I guess I gotta do this now it's time it's time so that's what it was for me man be be you know know being a man sucks yeah being a man sucks I would agree being a man yep being pretending to be one being a man sucks that was and that was a man decision for me at that time so well if you were an alpha what you threatened by that's it you're not you want other dudes to crush it too you

want them to raise the bar you want to feel challenged you want to feel uncomfortable and that's the one thing I'll say right now that people listen to this a real person a real Alpa a real go-getter they ain't saying [ __ ] about nobody correct that's why you will never ever hear me dropping somebody's name running my mouth about somebody I don't know what you went through I don't know what you're going through I didn't wear the shoes you were when you were a kid I didn't grow up in your [ __ ] up

house I didn't have your [ __ ] up family I don't know [ __ ] about you so guess what I do shut the [ __ ] up cuz real men don't say [ __ ] cuz first of all we're too busy trying to grind and be better correct second of all unless we know what we know we know we shut our [ __ ] mouths but nowadays there's not many real men who who who live by that Creed of like you know if you're on social media running your [ __ ] mouth and [

__ ] you're just a [ __ ] correct you're honestly that's not me trying to be some after school special [ __ ] you really are a [ __ ] real men ain't doing real men don't care about that gossipy [ __ ] get to work man correct that's it plus it's [ __ ] they would never in a million years say to your face no never no not M fact this dude I showed the text messages he was trying to get me to work for him cuz so that's that's what how it all started

yeah I mean it was I I know people too well that that's the thing about man I know why you're a [ __ ] yeah I know why because I always want you takes a lot to be a man 100% and I and I and and I I want to talk about that in close out because you're right and I'm sitting here thinking it does suck yes you know my daughter's here somebody asked me the other day about balance I said balance D we broke his [ __ ] M my my my ex-wife I got

a I got a daughter her her her mother dies seven days after my son's born very close to her mother extremely close like talk to her three four times a day good for her she dies instantly suddenly my son can't she can't breastfeed cuz she's a wreck he don't take no formula we're getting this elementum formula it's 40 bucks a can from Stop and Shop in Connecticut two two a day this horse eats 80 bucks a day and I ain't got no money yep and I'm sitting and stop shop no [ __ ] I'm thinking

I'm going start stealing the formula yep Stop and Shop got money probably ain't going to look for the formula it ain't tagged and I'm going to feel it and for me that was the point of my life I'm like dude who the [ __ ] am I MH like I have two children I chose to have I know how I was raised what am I doing like I'd gotten sober congratulations right but I was broke broken broke yep and it was for me that moment in time where I was like dude no matter what else

I do in life you talked about your mil no matter what else I do in life I'm going to be a great father Y no matter what else I do I'm going to provide I ain't never going to worry about money doesn't mean I'm going to go ahead and buy a penthouse and every city in the country but I'm never going to put myself or my kids in a position and that was my goal right to your point your goal like that was my everything in the world to me yep for the people that and

you're taught you you talk great about it because it's like dude for most of the folks listen they don't have a military career let alone yours right you know my my father was in the Navy I wasn't close to him it was a really really really interesting [ __ ] ride gr I loved your book so I was like yeah the book made me cry right cuz I you start to remember yep you start to remember then when you start to remember your mom yep and and and you know I remember my my mom got

remarried again and it's like just you know it's like and then how I felt about myself not being a to stand like that's why your book shook me if you haven't read can't hurt me you should read it's it's the best book I've read appreciate for real it is it's it you know it it'll make it'll change your life so for for the people for all of us right right your family's what you got whoever that P whoever those people are right and you you decided to stand up because if he had said something stupid

about a race or an ankle care about [ __ ] who gives a [ __ ] but hey I this is what I poured into you know my my my when I when I got done with high school I was like I'm I'm going to go I go to Armory I take my ass do my test I'm like I'm going go to Marines what I'm going to do MH 17 graduate high school my mom said you're going to go to college I was like why and she equated that all the people she knew that went

to the military right family that they you know I was going to come out and be just and I was like I don't know how that makes any sense right but you know I went to college whatever did my deal play baseball the whole thing never went um so I have the utmost respect for what y'all done but I want to close with this what hurts me the most like that room tonight there's dudes not doing that for their family no they're not and I I think they want to I don't think they don't want

to I don't think they wake up and go you you know what I love [ __ ] not providing for my family I love not protecting my family they want to and most of the people listen they're dudes right right and working [ __ ] 18 hours a day sucks yep being a provider and a protector and not asking anybody to care for you because it's not their job sucks because it's not their job it's nobody's job to take care of me it's my job take care of y'all and whatever's left I'll figure it out

I got enough to take care of me we are good see you tomorrow you said it that's my job how do we like parting whatever you want to say David don't matter me you'll kill it you've been unfuckin believable this podcast changed my life you talking changed my life and it's made me think a lot more about things so for that I appreciate you and I thank you and I mean it what would you like to say on our way out here about whatever it is your your your family your focus your goal and just

honestly man in the [ __ ] up you know what it comes down to this for me how do I want to be remembered and that's the problem man like nowadays people don't give a [ __ ] how they remembered they don't give a [ __ ] about their family everybody's equal their mom is equal to them their dad's equal to them they're growing everybody's [ __ ] equal so it's a tough question to ask because when I grew up my mom worked three [ __ ] jobs and all I wanted to do and she

got her [ __ ] ass damn near murdered and it took her down a dark hole and I saw this that helps that helped me grow up to say all I want to do is retire my mother when I get older that's all I want to [ __ ] do and thank God did that but the thing about it with a lot of people they don't have that in them the parents raise the kids very differently now so the kids don't have that sense of self and I believe in self-discipline self- Pride self- motivation no

one has that self anymore that self is gone so that driving force that tells you I have to do this [ __ ] I took great pride in the fact that I was nobody and what you just describe put Goosebumps on me because that's exactly where I took pride in was I'm gonna make sure you're good and you're good my mom will tell you right now she's right there sitting yes she is she knows I don't buy myself [ __ ] I take great pride in that I don't want [ __ ] because how I'm

wired I'm wired to hey Mom I'm G get you this this this and this my girl everybody's got everything I don't even own a [ __ ] car I'm a multi-millionaire and I say that with pride yeah because what I was here to do as a man and men may not even want to hear this it sounds so barbaric that's that's the pride in what you have as a man is that you see your mom you see your girl you see your kids you see all this [ __ ] you see them doing well that's

all a real man wants they don't give a [ __ ] about how they dress how they look what they're driving they don't give a [ __ ] because why your trophies are your family and they're all walking around every man that sees you they they see you walk in with some sweatpants and [ __ ] but they know your family [ __ ] balling that's right because you put the [ __ ] time in you put the effort in you put the work in and as a man we don't want none of that [

__ ] we just want [ __ ] respect amen and that's what men don't give a [ __ ] about now but the only thing I want is from my family look at me and say that's the man right there and men don't [ __ ] have that they don't know what that feels like so until you know what that feels like you're never going to seek that feeling of when things are bad my family looks to me as they should as they should that's your job that is my [ __ ] job and I
