I’m on the same journey. Gonna join the Marines. I was 352 at the beginning of July. Now, on November 1st, I’m 295. There is no try. I will make it. Update: I’m down to 245. I lost 110 pounds in 9 months. Wanna talk to a recruiter, but as far as I know, all the recruiting offices are closed. Update 2: I’ve been working with recruiters for a month now. Gonna need an age waiver in a few days. Shipping as soon as everything is worked out. Update 3: More than likely shipping this Sunday. It’s been a long journey. Final update: Graduated on July 16th. 4th RTBN PAPA Company Platoon 4024. Living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.
Yea man I want to join the military but I’ve always quit at everything in life,my dad was in the marines for 20 years and here I am at 22 not doing shit with my life only have a ged not even sure if they will let me in.just scared that if I try and fail it will make me even more depressed,ik I’m running out of time but I don’t what to do
Ryan Stephens you are not running out of time. I’m 28. I was 27 when I decided I for sure wanted to join. Cut off for active duty is 28. I have until July. I will make it. Only way to know if they’ll take you is to talk to a recruiter. Do it.
Corndog Sauceman weighed in at 285 today, but that’s after a hard day of drinking. Almost a gallon of water. The weight loss has slowed down a little, but my personal trainer told me not to worry so much about the number right now. I feel that she’s right. Especially since my clothes are becoming looser and looser every day. I’ve had to poke notches into my belt to make it hold up my pants. Because I’m too cheap to buy new clothes. I’ll make it.
respect to Joe Rogan for just listening to this guy talk. he interjected to ask good questions. so many talk show hosts just want to hear themselves talk. this was a great show.
Very true.. that's why I don't listen to Steve-Os wild ride anymore, it just steve talking about himself .. and Rogan has interesting people on, you learn new things and create new curiosity.
The completely rawness of this interview is exactly what makes Joe Rogans podcast the best. David is pouring his heart out, as a viewer, that is just beautiful. That's exactly what mainstream polished media is lacking.
Man I’m 36 and I’m 355 pounds. A lot of his stuff I can relate to. I’m going to do this. I’m starting extremely late, but I have to do this. I have a son that needs me in his life.
Joe Rogan has the extremely impressive, patient, and selfless ability to just sit & genuinely listen to people. I’ve seen this video before, but I’m currently 12 ½ minutes in and he probably has 1 minute tops of speaking time. It’s no wonder his podcast is so successful. What a guy
Rather not .. Reality never meets Hollywood. As I think more about it. Live documentary where certain scenes are played by actors, but David would comment them. Something what Discovery channel does.

This man here is the literal definition of mind over matter. He strictly focused and strengthened his mind and his body had to follow. The only thing that can stop your body from moving or doing anything terrifying is your mind. I watched multiple Goggins inspiration videos and I went sky diving. Terrified of heights and planes, the first plane I ever got on in my life I jumped out and went skydiving. Best moment of my entire life.
I mean he did use several medications to help him lose weight and other things, so you definitely can't say it's all mind power. Sometimes medical intervention is required for those who have health issues like how Goggins has a thyroid disorder. Which caused his weight gain. And the medication caused the weight loss. Otherwise he'd still be eating chocolate milkshakes. The mental toughness started to come only after dealing with his medical issues. And apparently stretching cured him so ya. Maybe its just me but I get liver king vibes from Goggins sometimes.
I'm an Army veteran. I love David. He inspired me so much. Watching all these videos has really made me rethink what I'm doing with my life. Love your podcast.
dont put goggins in the same vein as "enlightened" people. Even saying someone is enlightened makes you look stupid af. Goggins obviously understood that the only happiness in life that is worth a damn thing is the one gained by facing suffering and he faces that shit non-stop.
His response to being asked by people if he's happy is GOLDEN. He said he's extremely proud of the person he became and that the look on his face isn't someone who's sad, its someone who's driven.
What means the most to be about David is not his physical feats but his honesty. I appreciate how he opens up about the barriers in his mind regarding his past trauma and how he faked being the tough guy.
Bro ... It takes a brave man to admit all of this and still keep going. Most warriors get PTSD when they go to war. He pushed through his PTSD just to get to war. He went from being afraid of water to being afraid to be afraid. Respect. #hardcore
*I'm writing this for myself.* *I'm watching this crying. I didnt suffer the same as David, but I have suffered. My abusive stepdad created so many insecurities. My real father was just as bad. The only good father figure in my life died when I was young. I was helping him build an above ground pool, and instead of using the ladder to get over the wall, I jumped over to grab a shovel. He did the same as me and he had a heart attack. He died in front of me. I started using drugs, and it got really bad. The story goes on, but I'm currently being sidetracked by my daughter at the moment. I have that same voice he speaks of telling me I need to do better for myself and my family. I need to do this. If David can do it, I can do it. I NEED to do it.* *My daughter is making this emotional moment slowly fade. I need to make sure I dont push this voice away again. I need help. I need to succeed. Thank you David. I hope I can follow in your steps.*

David Goggins is a role model for all of us. He shows us that even if we start from an extremely low point, we can ascend to unimaginable heights through unbridled passion and desire that overcomes all obstacles that are in our path. We have no limits except those that we acknowledge. David Goggins learned to say F**K NO!! to all limits. David wanted to be a man who detests mediocrity. Be like David.
Probably the most powerful thing I’ve ever heard. It’s so true. The calmest I’ve ever been is working my ass off, school, work, etc. But when I sit around like a fuckhead I have brutal anxiety.
David Goggins is the real hero - we need to give him a life time recognition and achievement award for being the person he chooses to be and inspire all of us
I had a buddy who was a former SEAL. I’m a former Marine so we’d talk about our military experiences, compare/contrast, and of course, bust balls. One day we were just hanging out, having a good time, when I jokingly called him Super Man. All of a sudden he got really serious and said, “A lot of people think that about us-that we’re indescribable or better than they are. The truth is we’re just too dumb to quit.” I think that’s a life lesson that my buddy, David Goggins, and a lot of others in that community have learned. My wife has a degenerative, chronic illness and she now says it all the time when things get bad. Too dumb to quit is how we try to live our lives.
@@Flowersandcookies931 just saw your stupid comment. I said former Marine not “ex Marine.” Here, guy-0302 MOS, 2/7 in 29 Palms under LTCs Bizak and Bourgeois with then-Col Mattis (yes, that Mattis) as the regimental CO. That enough bona fides for you? Good, now STFU and go back to discussing topics you have a f*cking clue about.
This is the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. He was so relatable to us at his worst and makes you truly believe if you can conquer your mind you can do almost anything.
I love how every time he is in the self talk he refers to himself as “we” because he subconsciously understands there’s a duality complex in the mind. He’s a master bro.
I relate to this guy so much. I was a 300 pound kid, and ended up skipping class because going to school was hell for me. I eventually had to drop out, and moved to another town away from all of the toxic people in my life. I started working, exercising, and attending night classes to get a diploma. In about a year's time I had lost over 100 pounds, and finally joined the ARMY, which was a reality check for me. I had been really sheltered since I was a fat kid who never did anything, and I didn't realize that just because I lost weight, didn't mean that I was going to be in shape. I ended up being so insecure about how out of shape I was that I would work out at least 2 hours a day (morning PT, hitting the gym during the hour and a half lunch break they gave us at Fort Campbell, and going on a run and doing pull-ups and push-ups outside the barracks before bed). Even though in my mind I was completely out of shape, I was regarded as the most physically fit person in our unit. I ended up going to war, and it motivated me to start working out even more because a lot of people in our unit who were getting killed, probably wouldn't have gotten killed if they were 100% with it. While other soldiers would come back and play X-box, I would be working out or cleaning my rifle or trying to learn something new that I might be able to use to save my life. I didn't want to die because I was lazy, so this pushed me to train even harder. When I came back to the states I saw the world completely differently, it's almost like living in a different realm than everyone else. I had that for many years after I got out of the Military, but I slowly felt myself becoming more civilized and domesticated and lazier and weaker. It's been so long now that it doesn't even feel real.
I always thought when i was in .. being sent to war would waken me up and id be so disciplined to stay alive but you got to look for that reason to stay alive living in a domesticated country.. it sucks but you gotta live every day like its your last
Go join the reserves my friend one weekend a month but you'll spend at least an hour every day on it and that doesn't include the working out that you do between battle assemblies go back plus it gets you out of your boring normal routine of working you get to go to volunteer for schools be the UPL the darn the sharp Vol I did all those things and had a blast I had to go as a forty-year-old against 18 year olds and I kick most of their asses so it'll keep you in that mindset
53 yr old Mom here. I am really impressed by the spirit of your podcasts.You can tell by the comments that you inspire POSITIVE ACTION. I recently stumbled upon a TH-cam jerk who talked about "top tier" and "alpha" males, the whole time putting down others. I commented that no man (person) who is TRULY of value puts others down to make themselves look better. He needs to come here and watch and read the comments to really see how men of value should talk to others. Bravo guys, bravo!
314 down to 145 here (5'6'' male)...I hate using the words "weight loss journey" b/c it is such a bullshitty sounding phrase, but the reality is that I've never met anyone that has lost a significant amount of weight and make a real permanent life-style change without having some kind of psychological moment...addicts call it "hitting rock bottom", and as much as I hate to sound overly dramatic, it is a real thing when it comes to reversing something like morbid obesity.
DG turned down numerous offers and big money for his book, but he declined and did it on his own. He’s the epitome of self reliance and accountability.
They offered him some low-ball deal because they thought there wasn't a market for it. He told them to go stick it and made something like 5x the amount they offered
best motivational guy ever.. im sore af from lifting blocks all day on my day off.. this guy just pushed me to do 50 squats and 50 push ups during this video before i leave for work
I admire how brave this man is for publicly telling all of the negative things about his forever lifestyle. He ate wrong, had the worst defeatist attitude, avoided anything that would possibly end in failure. No matter what phenomenal physical feats he has been able to accomplish since then, imo the most impressive thing he shows everyone is his ability to completely own his failures and admit the excuses that he made for himself at the time. I can’t thank him enough for sharing these deeply personal experiences.
18 months ago I was 373lbs, no job, lived with my parents (24YO at the time), no responsibilities (other than college), miserable. Today I weighed in at 254 lbs (still working down to 225, but I will get there by the end of the year), working a new job making almost 100,000 per year, eating healthy, great girlfriend, go to the gym 5 days a week and wake up smiling every damn day. I found David Goggin's about 7 months into my weight loss journey and his story has truly changed my life for the better. After reading his books and listening to his podcasts on JRE and others it had made me stop feeling so alone. I still come back to these videos on days where life gets hard and they ALWAYS remind me that I am being a little bitch and to sack up. In the last 18 months I have ran a 5k, and became a recreational cyclist putting 8-10 miles a day in on the bike while running and jogging afterword for 30 minutes to an hour daily. Hearing Goggins message almost feels like it woke my ass up to life and was the message I needed to hear almost a year ago.
this was SOOO fckin powerful, probably the best joe rogan segment i’ve heard, the man was pouring out his soul, props to him for his journey and also to joe for letting him speak not interrupting like most late night talk show hosts do
Goggins is the difference between making excuses. I listened to his background story and didn’t feel bad. Could care less honestly. It’s common in my background. But him fighting and failing and continuing to attempt his goals. It’s very inspiring. There’s a difference here. You can describe your back ground and not seem like your whining as long as you keep striving for the win.
In the middle of a weight loss journey here. 28 years old right now and weigh in about 230lbs (6ft1). I found out about this guy through a childhood buddy who is a marine vet and does PMC work now. Out of high school, I weighed 375 lbs, I was unhappy and unsure of where to go in life because ultimately I wanted to go into the military. I end up going to culinary school, learning a lot about nutrition and how to properly cook for myself. I lost incredible weight and realized my dream of going into the Army isn't that far-fetched anymore. I've recently quit my Executive Chef position to focus solely on chasing my dream. This man is literally everything I've made myself into lately. (Of course, I'm not quite on his level but every day I'm pushing myself to be a better version.) But the MIND IS WHAT YOU CREATE IT. For all of those out there struggling, you can do it. Thank you Goggins, you truly are a hero.
I don't know when, if ever, I've been so capitavited by a single video. Truly a genuinely inspirational guy, I know an untold number of people that need to hear this (myself included).
I'm almost 60 and had a heart attack last September. I was 306 at the time. I'm down to 258 at present but have hit a wall in part to some excuses I've started to use. I have an issue with my foot and I've reverted back on some of the foods I shouldn't be eating. This is the kind of thing I need to hear to show me that I can still do it. I don't want to die yet. I have more good to do.
I hope you're still with us Scott. Lost my brother in June this year and I miss him dearly. All you can do is do your best everyday and love and appreciate your friends and family.
One sentence pushed me through ever obstacle I had in life. While I was in my early 20’s I had an older lady see how defeated I was over the amount of work I had to do. She said “Sonia work the work, don’t let the work, work you” From that day on - that one sentence I applied to everything in my life. Work through the task in hand, go on to the next. Once you complete one task, you are one step closer. You can apply this to anything in your life. That old woman that said those words to me has no idea, she changed my life.

Terrified of heights and planes, the first plane I ever got on in my life I jumped out and went skydiving. Best moment of my entire life.
I mean he did use several medications to help him lose weight and other things, so you definitely can't say it's all mind power. Sometimes medical intervention is required for those who have health issues like how Goggins has a thyroid disorder. Which caused his weight gain. And the medication caused the weight loss. Otherwise he'd still be eating chocolate milkshakes. The mental toughness started to come only after dealing with his medical issues. And apparently stretching cured him so ya. Maybe its just me but I get liver king vibes from Goggins sometimes.
@@jking0.o121on’t compare him to goggins, there two whole completely people
“ I had to build this calloused mind and I built it through suffering”. Powerful. That hit
home. Thank you David for getting me out of bed today.
Started this video eating snacks on the couch, 10 minutes in and Im dressed and ready for the gym. Thank you, Sir!
I'm an Army veteran. I love David. He inspired me so much. Watching all these videos has really made me rethink what I'm doing with my life. Love your podcast.
He’s very enlightened. This is what *knowing* *thyself* means.
.
Chill
dont put goggins in the same vein as "enlightened" people. Even saying someone is enlightened makes you look stupid af.
Goggins obviously understood that the only happiness in life that is worth a damn thing is the one gained by facing suffering and he faces that shit non-stop.
I'm not sure you know what enlightened means
watch the Jordan Peterson video on knowing thyself. In a nutshell, Brutal self honesty.

@Stephen Murphy it might be somewhat simple but it’s definitely not easy
💯
This hits every man’s heart. No one can tell me wrong.
I'm a woman and it hit me too..
This guy is my new fucking hero.
You must've missed the parts where he loathed white people and basically blamed them for his issues. He's infatuated with race. Nice hero though.
This guy is on steroids...
When did he say that>?
I'm pretty sure David Goggins had an Oedipus Complex.
he was called n word his whole life in school and he lived few meters away from kkk clan. He never said anything about any race. stfu
Hey got them Kobe Bryant eyes... You can see his tenacity. Pure assassin!
Yo I thought the exact same thing
Revolution Uprise seriously. I want a Kobe- Goggins podcast episode
I was reading this comment as my brother just told me the news... very eerie
R.I.P Kobe
Revolution Uprise so true . Rip Kobe
what a beast of a man. more people need to watch this video.
His response to being asked by people if he's happy is GOLDEN. He said he's extremely proud of the person he became and that the look on his face isn't someone who's sad, its someone who's driven.
What means the most to be about David is not his physical feats but his honesty. I appreciate how he opens up about the barriers in his mind regarding his past trauma and how he faked being the tough guy.
Today is May 28th, 2024 and I am at my lowest, but soon enough, i’ll be back on my feet.
Any updates?
One of Joe Rogan's best interviews, he is actually quiet.
Yeah and I bet he was just soaking it all in just as well all are!
Bro ... It takes a brave man to admit all of this and still keep going. Most warriors get PTSD when they go to war. He pushed through his PTSD just to get to war. He went from being afraid of water to being afraid to be afraid. Respect.
#hardcore
Story brings a grown man to tears. I can feel the emotion
*I'm writing this for myself.*
*I'm watching this crying. I didnt suffer the same as David, but I have suffered. My abusive stepdad created so many insecurities. My real father was just as bad. The only good father figure in my life died when I was young. I was helping him build an above ground pool, and instead of using the ladder to get over the wall, I jumped over to grab a shovel. He did the same as me and he had a heart attack. He died in front of me. I started using drugs, and it got really bad. The story goes on, but I'm currently being sidetracked by my daughter at the moment. I have that same voice he speaks of telling me I need to do better for myself and my family. I need to do this. If David can do it, I can do it. I NEED to do it.*
*My daughter is making this emotional moment slowly fade. I need to make sure I dont push this voice away again. I need help. I need to succeed. Thank you David. I hope I can follow in your steps.*
Just do it, if is eazy is not right, go hard man.
@@shonerado Thank you for the comment reply! It made me read what I wrote, and it gave me a boost today that I really needed! Thanks again, and happy new year!!
Man go for it , no matter how much it hurts
@@SpiderPrank7 *Thanks brother! I actually have been working extra hard and its paying off! I'm 6'4" and weighed 185lbs for the last couple years, I weighed myself yesterday, and I weigh 201!!!! Gained 16lbs since the last time I checked around early December!*
*It feels good to feel good, I wish the best for you too! I appreciate your kind words, thanks again brother!*
@@Denzel_Watchington freaking amazing progress dude !!!! Don't u fucking stop !!!
This is probably the single most inspiring thing I've ever seen on Joe's show.
David Goggins is a role model for all of us. He shows us that even if we start from an extremely low point, we can ascend to unimaginable heights through unbridled passion and desire that overcomes all obstacles that are in our path. We have no limits except those that we acknowledge. David Goggins learned to say F**K NO!! to all limits. David wanted to be a man who detests mediocrity. Be like David.
“The more things I found comfortable, the more uncomfortable my mind was” WOW
Probably the most powerful thing I’ve ever heard. It’s so true. The calmest I’ve ever been is working my ass off, school, work, etc. But when I sit around like a fuckhead I have brutal anxiety.
David inspired me to lose weight and I already lost almost 20kg/45lbs and I will keep going
Same dude, he’s helped me loose 100lbs, I need to drop 60 more so I can join the Navy 💪🏻🇺🇸
@@PureSinaatraa That's a lot congratulations man!
@@PureSinaatraa did you lose the weight?
David Goggins is the real hero - we need to give him a life time recognition and achievement award for being the person he chooses to be and inspire all of us
Good guy Joe, letting the man tell his story without interrupting him
I have NEVER seen someone as REAL with themselves as this MAN. Big ups to Goggins
I had a buddy who was a former SEAL. I’m a former Marine so we’d talk about our military experiences, compare/contrast, and of course, bust balls. One day we were just hanging out, having a good time, when I jokingly called him Super Man. All of a sudden he got really serious and said, “A lot of people think that about us-that we’re indescribable or better than they are. The truth is we’re just too dumb to quit.” I think that’s a life lesson that my buddy, David Goggins, and a lot of others in that community have learned. My wife has a degenerative, chronic illness and she now says it all the time when things get bad. Too dumb to quit is how we try to live our lives.
never heard a Marine refer to himself as "former". put this story in the doubt lane
I think your story is valuable. Best wishes for your wife and for you.
@@Flowersandcookies931It is uncommon but not unheard of. None will say ex Marine. Former is acceptable. He’s being humble more than likely.
Agreed. After going through SFAS and finishing the SF pipeline, a number of us said the exact same thing: we're too dumb to quit.
@@Flowersandcookies931 just saw your stupid comment. I said former Marine not “ex Marine.” Here, guy-0302 MOS, 2/7 in 29 Palms under LTCs Bizak and Bourgeois with then-Col Mattis (yes, that Mattis) as the regimental CO. That enough bona fides for you? Good, now STFU and go back to discussing topics you have a f*cking clue about.
If this story doesnt motivate you to do what you really want to do in life, start it again and listen to it properly!
What a great story of persistence.
Nice Thom
I feel his pain.David your a true inspiration. Hands down. It's people like you that give hope to people like me
210, 30% bodyfat, 6 months I am 167, 13.5%. 318 miles I have ran. Thanks to this man, this does not include my weight training on the off days :)
This is the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. He was so relatable to us at his worst and makes you truly believe if you can conquer your mind you can do almost anything.
I’m only 18 yo and David Goggins has to be the most relatable being ever. A true person.
I love David Goggins he helped me go from 250-130 in two years my whole mentality changed! He’s amazing and his book is a MUST read
I needed to hear him. My life is his. I am fighting my fears right now.
Keeping fighting you can be a strong as you make yourself
Fight em brother. Fight em.
I love how every time he is in the self talk he refers to himself as “we” because he subconsciously understands there’s a duality complex in the mind. He’s a master bro.
David Goggins is so awesome. He made up his mind I'm not going to let people dictate my life.
I flat out feel unqualified to swear ever again.
One of the best comments!
Haha love it
When he talks about round 14 in Rocky and wanting that feeling, I can totally relate 💯. This man is more than inspiring
This fucking shit made me cry man... damn, I've struggled with shit like this, and man, it is hard overcoming yourself man...
I relate to this guy so much. I was a 300 pound kid, and ended up skipping class because going to school was hell for me. I eventually had to drop out, and moved to another town away from all of the toxic people in my life. I started working, exercising, and attending night classes to get a diploma. In about a year's time I had lost over 100 pounds, and finally joined the ARMY, which was a reality check for me. I had been really sheltered since I was a fat kid who never did anything, and I didn't realize that just because I lost weight, didn't mean that I was going to be in shape. I ended up being so insecure about how out of shape I was that I would work out at least 2 hours a day (morning PT, hitting the gym during the hour and a half lunch break they gave us at Fort Campbell, and going on a run and doing pull-ups and push-ups outside the barracks before bed). Even though in my mind I was completely out of shape, I was regarded as the most physically fit person in our unit. I ended up going to war, and it motivated me to start working out even more because a lot of people in our unit who were getting killed, probably wouldn't have gotten killed if they were 100% with it. While other soldiers would come back and play X-box, I would be working out or cleaning my rifle or trying to learn something new that I might be able to use to save my life. I didn't want to die because I was lazy, so this pushed me to train even harder. When I came back to the states I saw the world completely differently, it's almost like living in a different realm than everyone else. I had that for many years after I got out of the Military, but I slowly felt myself becoming more civilized and domesticated and lazier and weaker. It's been so long now that it doesn't even feel real.
Get bsck on the horse, man. Now is the time.
Ready
Set
Go!
I always thought when i was in .. being sent to war would waken me up and id be so disciplined to stay alive but you got to look for that reason to stay alive living in a domesticated country.. it sucks but you gotta live every day like its your last
Go join the reserves my friend one weekend a month but you'll spend at least an hour every day on it and that doesn't include the working out that you do between battle assemblies go back plus it gets you out of your boring normal routine of working you get to go to volunteer for schools be the UPL the darn the sharp Vol I did all those things and had a blast I had to go as a forty-year-old against 18 year olds and I kick most of their asses so it'll keep you in that mindset
53 yr old Mom here. I am really impressed by the spirit of your podcasts.You can tell by the comments that you inspire POSITIVE ACTION. I recently stumbled upon a TH-cam jerk who talked about "top tier" and "alpha" males, the whole time putting down others. I commented that no man (person) who is TRULY of value puts others down to make themselves look better. He needs to come here and watch and read the comments to really see how men of value should talk to others. Bravo guys, bravo!
David “hurts so good” goggins
He needs a movie deal.
314 down to 145 here (5'6'' male)...I hate using the words "weight loss journey" b/c it is such a bullshitty sounding phrase, but the reality is that I've never met anyone that has lost a significant amount of weight and make a real permanent life-style change without having some kind of psychological moment...addicts call it "hitting rock bottom", and as much as I hate to sound overly dramatic, it is a real thing when it comes to reversing something like morbid obesity.
Congratulations 🎊 👏🏽
Everybody has a rock bottom in their life. It’s what you decide to do about it that makes your story worth telling. Congratulations
This is motivating, I been there brother, dropping 100 pounds in 3 months in order to join the United States Marines! Hoorah Baby, the power within!
Neville Boone that’s awesome man. Very motivating.
Congrats 🎉. I lost 42 pounds in 6 months. 100 pounds in 3 months seems unfreakinreal man
I just lost 100lbs and it’s been 8.5 months
I lost 130lbs in a year to join the Marines back in 2014. Trust me when I say, you can do it. Semper Fidelis
Wish it was a better reason.
Hes proud of himself!!! So proud and amazed at this man, wow!!!!!!
Most people are too lazy to do what this man did. He is truly an inspiration
You are my Rocky. Whenever I need motivation I come to this video. Thank you.
incredible how the mind can change you so much with hard work & dedication
Stop being an IDIOT
You Become - What you think all day
APE MAN stop being an idiot hows that
Mind over Body
Soul over Mind
You can hear the emotion in his voice about the grind! Truly the most inspiring human being on this planet!
DG turned down numerous offers and big money for his book, but he declined and did it on his own. He’s the epitome of self reliance and accountability.
Reading it now
They offered him some low-ball deal because they thought there wasn't a market for it. He told them to go stick it and made something like 5x the amount they offered
I love this interview. Joe let’s him talk and the part where he is explaining his desire to be like rocky is amazing.
I totally understand it. „Gonna fly now“ gives me chills every time I’m listening to this masterpiece. Thank you Bill Conti!
Man this hits home
Yup
best motivational guy ever.. im sore af from lifting blocks all day on my day off.. this guy just pushed me to do 50 squats and 50 push ups during this video before i leave for work
I admire how brave this man is for publicly telling all of the negative things about his forever lifestyle. He ate wrong, had the worst defeatist attitude, avoided anything that would possibly end in failure. No matter what phenomenal physical feats he has been able to accomplish since then, imo the most impressive thing he shows everyone is his ability to completely own his failures and admit the excuses that he made for himself at the time. I can’t thank him enough for sharing these deeply personal experiences.
18 months ago I was 373lbs, no job, lived with my parents (24YO at the time), no responsibilities (other than college), miserable. Today I weighed in at 254 lbs (still working down to 225, but I will get there by the end of the year), working a new job making almost 100,000 per year, eating healthy, great girlfriend, go to the gym 5 days a week and wake up smiling every damn day. I found David Goggin's about 7 months into my weight loss journey and his story has truly changed my life for the better. After reading his books and listening to his podcasts on JRE and others it had made me stop feeling so alone. I still come back to these videos on days where life gets hard and they ALWAYS remind me that I am being a little bitch and to sack up. In the last 18 months I have ran a 5k, and became a recreational cyclist putting 8-10 miles a day in on the bike while running and jogging afterword for 30 minutes to an hour daily. Hearing Goggins message almost feels like it woke my ass up to life and was the message I needed to hear almost a year ago.
this was SOOO fckin powerful, probably the best joe rogan segment i’ve heard, the man was pouring out his soul, props to him for his journey and also to joe for letting him speak not interrupting like most late night talk show hosts do
Goggins is the difference between making excuses. I listened to his background story and didn’t feel bad. Could care less honestly. It’s common in my background. But him fighting and failing and continuing to attempt his goals. It’s very inspiring. There’s a difference here. You can describe your back ground and not seem like your whining as long as you keep striving for the win.
Why did you feel the need to state you could care less? What's wrong with having empathy for others?
He re-wrote his life script.
Any1 can do it
@@cheddydoit0404 most never do. facts!
In the middle of a weight loss journey here. 28 years old right now and weigh in about 230lbs (6ft1). I found out about this guy through a childhood buddy who is a marine vet and does PMC work now. Out of high school, I weighed 375 lbs, I was unhappy and unsure of where to go in life because ultimately I wanted to go into the military. I end up going to culinary school, learning a lot about nutrition and how to properly cook for myself. I lost incredible weight and realized my dream of going into the Army isn't that far-fetched anymore. I've recently quit my Executive Chef position to focus solely on chasing my dream. This man is literally everything I've made myself into lately. (Of course, I'm not quite on his level but every day I'm pushing myself to be a better version.) But the MIND IS WHAT YOU CREATE IT. For all of those out there struggling, you can do it.
Thank you Goggins, you truly are a hero.
I needed to hear this. I literally was 297lb. A loser. I'm on my journey of self improvement.
Stay hard
So stoked you got Goggins on the podcast.
As a 21 year military veteran, let me say this is a real man.
I don't know when, if ever, I've been so capitavited by a single video. Truly a genuinely inspirational guy, I know an untold number of people that need to hear this (myself included).
Rocky 1 has inspired a lot of people.
I'm almost 60 and had a heart attack last September. I was 306 at the time. I'm down to 258 at present but have hit a wall in part to some excuses I've started to use. I have an issue with my foot and I've reverted back on some of the foods I shouldn't be eating. This is the kind of thing I need to hear to show me that I can still do it. I don't want to die yet. I have more good to do.
You got this!
I hope you're still with us Scott. Lost my brother in June this year and I miss him dearly. All you can do is do your best everyday and love and appreciate your friends and family.
Losing weight is 90% diet and 10% exercise. Stay determined.
Updates?
I burst into tears. This clip has to be shown in every school on the planet
We need this man in the mainstream media, we need his honesty...powerful testimony.
Goggins book is fantastic. It tells his whole story and I recommend it to anyone. 10/10
One sentence pushed me through ever obstacle I had in life.
While I was in my early 20’s I had an older lady see how defeated I was over the amount of work I had to do.
She said “Sonia work the work, don’t let the work, work you”
From that day on - that one sentence I applied to everything in my life.
Work through the task in hand, go on to the next. Once you complete one task, you are one step closer. You can apply this to anything in your life.
That old woman that said those words to me has no idea, she changed my life.
Everyone who is a fan of Rocky know the goosebumps you get are real.
Mad respect to him! This guy knows what its all about.
joe really knows how to podcast. Never unnecessarily interrupts and you can tell he gets invested in his guests.
One of the best videos on this entire damn website
