I'm 16 years 284 days old as of right now. Trying to find out my purpose in my life. My own family is going through financial crisis now. I don't know what to do. This was heck of a video! Can't believe people's like David Goggins mere existence has power to bring hopes to many people throughout this damn rotten cruel world. I'm totally motivated to the fact that I won't be relying on motivation anymore and persuade to cultivate a habit even if it's damn hard, I'll endure, I'll suffer, I'll create a future where my parents can be happy and also hope to discover my purpose. I'll remember that David Goggins was also nobody until he became somebody. Thanks
Good luck for the future, you don't have to have much to be happy, work together as a team as much as possible because it really is hard out here for many. Don't make your self worth or worth about others, everyone is is their own person, don't knock yourself, keep striving and you will find your course. Be humble, it really is the little things and satisfaction with those things that are sweetest. By the way you are somebody my mere dint of being here, you count!
@@PrashantJoshiSomeGuyThough well said...my opinion may not be worth much, but I believe you will achieve greatness. Remember that while you are on your journey and something isn't working, start again, as many times as you have to. Just never stop and I don't think you will stop, your "why" is your fuel. Be proud, stay brave.
I’m “49 and a multi millionaire. I don’t have to do anything.” Blows my mind hearing that flex. He is right. He’s accomplished so much and is STILL pushing a piece of himself. Paramedic? A multi millionaire moving into being a paramedic? Amazing David. Love this man! Thanks for inspiring us DAILY
@@meltygear5955 It’s obvious that it isn’t about money since he only gets paid around 12$ an hour for smoke jumping and it’s probably the most dangerous job in the world. He’s a beast
This guy is a multimillionaire. He doesn’t need to grind. He keeps grinding and being useful to other people. This is someone to look up to. This guy is a real life hero.
@@DJx6293he’s «happy», he’s found his way. He uses his trauma to his own benefit, and he could actually give some credit to the trauma for pushing him. Without the trauma he would have been a nobody
This is such a powerful commitment! 🙌 At 17, taking charge of your future and striving to become a better version of yourself is incredibly inspiring. 🌟 Keep that fire burning, and we can’t wait to hear about your growth next year-rooting for you every step of the way! 💪🔥
seven months ago I discovered Goggins, feels like ages, can't even recognize myself. started working out, gave up addictions(smoking, drinking), started learning to code for a job transition and I can say with certainty that no matter what happens now I am not stopping. this world is full of suffering and I will choose my own suffering or life will choose it for me. for me and so many people like me who went through abusive households, racism, depression, and hopelessness all we ever needed was proof that it could be done what this guy did. best of luck, see ya.
Boy isn't that a dark truth. To live is to suffer. The gift life gives is the option to choose how we suffer. We either suffer through the climb to the top. Or suffer at the bottom. No way out.
Beautiful perspective. Your renewed mindset will certainly take you far. I have no degree and by grace, managed to break into tech. All the best with your journey💖
I am 15 years old now and I am writing this from 2024. This podcast has changed my life, I am forgetting the past and starting to work, I know it will be difficult, but I will try to endure. My goal is to study medicine and become an excellent doctor. I hope I can achieve my goal.
You will endure. It is the only option. You either work to get what you want or you don't. I think you will. It is a mindset and lifestyle change, however. You are going to realize how different you are than everyone else & that is ok. 15 is a hard age. At least it was for me. Just try your best to not get in your own way. Made the hard right decision, not the easy wrong one.
David Goggins has helped me not relapse on fentanyl for over 4 years. When things get rough, I listen to Goggins. I have a support group and follow the 12 steps but Goggins has some kind of determination for life in his voice that is better than any meeting I've been to. Thank you, sir.
He might have helped you but you did that your self congrats on the staying clean Im clean off that shit for 4+ years also but I think I forget how hard that shit was cuz I got thru it and I’ve been letting “normal” stuff in life beat my ass so bad lately that I gave up 🤦♂️ This comment def helped me like hearing Goggins helped you thanks for being real thanks Jessica 🫡
2 months later, this episode literally changed my life. I go for the suck everyday, working out 6 days a week, signed up for half an ironman, and keep on fighting everyday for that perishable skill. 8 months go, i started changing my life around, since then I lost 55 pounds, started cooking, stopped smoking and drinking and did my first triathlon. Let me tell you that this podcast locked in this mindset for the rest of my life. I will never be able to thank you both enough for
Yes i done the same, Gym + Muay Thai + Stretchings routines + i study Computer Science + learning daily 10-15 minutes a new language + if i have time i read a book where iam uneducated. Before this all i was a drug Addict. To hear like its every day a choice again and again was important for me.
a powerful question to answer by re-creating a new version of self - giving up those attractive and addictive habits are really hard. thanks for quoting this
You aren't. Life makes us think this way, there are actual dumb and weird people out there, like people who walk in broad daylight naked without a care in the world in the middle of a city. If those people can be that shameless and carefree, then I never had anything to be afraid in the first place.
"I realized that my entire life was gonna be a struggle, so I ignored it". For all the neurotic people like me out there, this is the best advice possible. Just accept that you're always going to be anxious and miserable, and use it as a fuel to do something worthwhile. Thank you, David Goggins and Dr. Huberman for an immensely inspiring episode.
Benjamin, it's not about accepting anxiety and misery. Nobody bares being miserable all the time. It's about taking responsability for it. Doing something about it. Making the best of it. Anxiety- when disfunctional- is about feeling small compared to fears, challenges and possibilities. The job is to grow up and become stronger. If you put too much focus on the struggle, you'll miss all the oportunities of growth. Read Tara Brach's "Radical Acceptance". It's an amazing book.
One of the best things about this podcast is Andrews ability to give David the space to vent and express himself. Andrew is a great listener and I'm glad David has been able to tell his story even after years of trauma.
Agreed. This level of raw emotion is difficult to put in words, so big up to Huberman for his interviewing skills and for giving David a platform to fully express himself.
Andrew is the best. A perfect example of an intellectual, an accomplished man and a skilled conversationalist. I so appreciate the way he insists on breaking it down for his lay audience. Makes it more interesting and encourages one to listen to the end and even want more . It's pretty frustrating and boring when folks begin to talk to each other forgetting that "we" may not know what certain terms and theories mean. Andrew is always aware of that and insists certain words, concepts etc be explained and/or defined.
I sent the clip about studying with ADD to my add daughter. She beats herself up that it takes her twice as long to memorize/ learn something it takes everyone else. Mind you she has all A’s all thanks to discipline. Now I can show her this incredible human being & how he tackled that challenge. Step 1- stop feeling sorry for yourself & embrace the pain. Goggins, Ive read both of your books inside out, got the guts and discipline to study medicine at 46, write a book, and heal my own goddamn autoimmune diseases. Now I coach others how to do it. Keep inspiring us brother!
TheNova: how much added sugar or refined carbs does she consume? Does she get a lot of exercise? Those are huge, ADD especially ADHD is significantly tied to insulin resistance of the brain
@ I’m grateful you mentioned this. We eat very clean in my house. I cook everything from scratch. The only high glycemic carbs she eats are fruits. An occasional piece of chocolate. Not a sugar lover, unlike most kids. She plays sports. No insulin resistance as of now. I am still looking into better nutrition practices for ADHD. Ill take any other suggestions you may have.
I’m 32 and my life is currently in shambles. My addiction to alcohol has been the main culprit. Life got so bad and mentally so dark that I was addicted to escaping reality instead of facing it. Today is day two of sobriety and I am determined to turn this shit around. Watching this podcast for the first time to help me STAY HARD! Good luck to anybody going through it. We will be alright. Just keep truckin 🤘🏻 Update: Today marks 31 days sober. I still have things I need to handle but sobriety was top of the list. Next up is securing a job. Let’s do this! Update 2: Today is October 1st, making it two months of sobriety for me. Still haven’t locked down a better job but I will triumph! Thank you all for the kind words 🙏🏻 Update 3: October 3rd, still sober and got a job interview on the 8th. LFG!! Update 4: I am sorry people, this is not the update you want. I made it sober from August 1st to October 13th. Said fuck it on the 14th and decided to drink. Was able to keep it “under control” for about a month and a half until last Friday (November 22nd) I somehow wound up in self destruct mode and have been excessively drinking ever since. Life is back in a wreck and I am struggling. I didn’t get that job btw. For anyone who cares, next update will be when I am on top again. God bless you all 🙏🏻 2025 Update: Happy New Year everyone! Today is January 6th and the day that I get back in the fight. Let’s go!
Go to an aa meeting , you aren’t the first or last to have trouble with alcohol. Meet some other recovering alcoholics , they can help you change your life
This has to be the greatest video of 2024. The anger, the rage and the pain in David's eyes and words is moving. Gonna go over this one again and again.
Incredibly moving. Everyone can resonate with what was said, even though we may never see things like David does. The passion in this episode hits hard.
*WORD OF ADVICE* : the mindset of a hard worker doesn't care that today is January 1. Doesn't matter what day it is. You put in as much energy today as you do on March 8 and October 23. Its everyday for the rest of your life and the faster you learn to be ok with that, that easier it gets. Stay hard!
My boyfriend is a Marine. One phrase I've learned from him and embedded in my mind is "Embrace the suck." It helped me tremendously with so many different things.
This whole podcast my biggest take-away has been: "I'm wasting time listening to this podcast - I know what I have to do, but instead I'm doing exactly what Goggins is describing - I'm wasting time listening and theorizing instead of getting up and getting after it." I'm the "I'll go at the quarter hour" kind of person Andrew described. I love my downtime too much. Goggins inspires me more than I inspire myself, and I think that's the problem I (and many others) have. Goggins is telling us to leave him alone as much as possible and go do what we know we ought to as much as possible. Thanks Goggins, and thanks Andrew. I'm gonna go now. Happy 2024, folks.
I don't think what he was saying was to inspire yourself but to slowly build sheer destructive willpower through putting yourself into the suffering and specifically targeting what you hate the most like he says how he hates running and how there's no motivation no passion no dopamine at 300 pounds at least that's what I took from it and lots more
Both my parents died on the same day last year, while moving all their stuff into a storage unit i was on the verge of giving up, David screaming in my brain "WHOS GONNA CARRY THE BOATS" got me through it
That’s crazy I’m sorry for your loss but in the end you will be stronger and possibly a person someone else can lean toward during their time of loss you got this man
Andrew, this one is going to be very difficult to top. I'm a 76 year old woman who is ultra inspired by this young man....David Goggins. He is one of a kind with much to offer the world. I will watch this again and again. I was touched to see his sensitivity and emotion surface from time to time. Thank you for this, Andrew. Please bring him back.
It took me about 2-3 years to finally understand that improving yourself isn't supposed to be fun - thanks David, going to stop looking for the fun & lose myself in the work.
The comments he makes about 'hacks' key into our modern view that there's a 'smart' solution for everything. No. It's willpower. Visualise your end destination and then do the hard work to get there. No excuses. Every day. That is the only surefire route to success.
Tom Platz once said "If you feel that you could've done more, then you are a loser". Success isn't a fun process, but the results you get are worth it. It's not "do it and continue living mediocre life", it's a lifestyle.
I listen to this at least once a week, David Goggins keeps saying he isn't smart, but this man is a goddamn genius. The wisdom here is priceless. God bless you all, stay hard, stay humble, go get it!
Nice! Two of my favorite people on the Internet in one podcast 🔥 I fell into a bad place with both my mental and physical health about a year ago. Goggins is one of the biggest inspirations that got me out of that place. I was able to lose 40 lbs busting my ass working out twice a day no matter what. I hope he knows how many people he’s helped. And fuck the haters.
Hey mate, don't know if you will see this. You were actually one of the people motivating me when I initially got into freelancing 4 years ago. You have helped me too! It is funny to see you commenting on this video. Anyway, I hope you are doing better!
Your content has helped me tremendously as I learned web development and sought my first software engineering job. Thank you, you’re fucking amazing. So glad to know you’re crushing it.
After a life of abuse. Having no shield from the world. 4 gunshot wounds including a .44 to the face. I totally relate. Over the last 10 years of following people like him I've been able to overcome mountains. I'm still going. Thank you David G
My 5th grade teacher, Mr. Brown taught me a phrase that always stuck with me and has helped me in so many areas of my life. “The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is that those that are successful can make themselves do the things they don’t want to do.”
I watched this podcast when I was working out at home every night in persian because I needed to be motivated in my dark days! My mother was at the hospital but I didn't want to give up and become hopeless every night I watched the persian version of this episode and working out so hard!! I got through those tough days of my life and really want to change everything. I can't believe that I wrote in English😅 one of the changes is that I want to start learning English again! God bless you I hope you the best in 2025 & Peace , Health , calmness and success for people all around the world. Sorry for the mistakes in my written English 😬🌹🌼
It's amazing that the public defines this person by his willpower and physical prowess. In my opinion, his strength comes from his constant and deep introspection. His self-awareness is remarkable especially when you factor in his disabilities.
"Most people are missing something because they don't know who they are." The most powerful and truthful statement in this entire podcast. Thank you again, Goggins!!! Moreover, Andrew did his best job in this interview! His interview skills were nearly perfect! Demonstrated patience, deep listening, clarified ideas, allowed Goggins to express himself, asked hard questions, and helped the audience see who Goggins really is. Thank you so much for this podcast!
Dr. Huberman you might not see this, but may God bless you and everyone who tries to make a better change in our world. Your podcasts are one of a kind. They’re my hobby
This is what parents of every adhd kid should show them! You're not broken... you are playing life on hard mode, but you also get hard mode rewards. Fight, don't stop. Soon, you'll be on top.
@@visionofdisorder That comment wasn't about the paltry rewards the human expierence can put physically in your hand... rewards come in many and multiple dimensions.
I love how raw he is in this podcast. He holds NOTHING back. The thing that hit me the hardest was when he said "You know EXACTLY what to do. You just don't want to do it."
It's true to me man. Sure we all could use guidance and it is true that none of us knows it all. But - there are certain tasks you could do RIGHT NOW that you now you should do. You just don't want to. Start there@@Darkloid21
@@agustinlyon8173 That’s not it. The dude doesn’t recognize how lucky he is. It’s not a matter of whether you want to it’s that many can’t. Like this channel just screams privilege
After reading Goggins “Can’t Hurt Me” it changed my life. I was stuck in a bad place inside my mind. I limited myself and my beliefs. I was hanging drywall, hating my job. Didn’t think I could be anything more. After reading his book, I was so inspired that at 27 I decided to go to college for the first time. I told myself for yearssssss I was never good at school I could never do it, but after his book I stopped believing that bullshit. I’m currently going for my associates degree, looking to graduate the PTA program. 3.92 GPA, and I’m focused as fuck! It’s not easy, and there are sacrifices that have to be made every day to keep pursuing my college career. But it’s fucking worth it. When Goggins says in this interview, some will understand me and grow from this guy. That’s exactly what I did. Thank you Goggins for everything you do and the inspiration you give so many people. I believe God, or whoever your higher power is, works through people. And that’s what’s happening with Goggins here. Let’s fucking GO!!!
For a man that doesn’t like to do Podcast, he sure gives one hell of one. Thank god for podcasts! You don’t get these amazing conversations in the mainstream media!
I think the big takeaways from Goggins' life are 1) life sucks, so embrace it 2) you just gotta do it. No more books or seminars. Getting it done is the only way to do get it done.
Embrace your own unique mind and discover your own unique algorithms,patterns, and internal dialogue to get the though hard situations. Conquer your fear of the unknown by leaning into fear,discomfort and pain. Discover what’s truly on that other side of pure hell and suffering
Theres more. You have to do it alone there will be no one in your corner while you work they will only be there after you achieve success. Be upfront to your loved ones about your intentions and share your goals with them so they know what to expect after you take care of ALL of their needs. If you want to keep the mindset you have then youll need to continue to do those things you hate to do not just the ones you enjoy. If you ever get stuck in life you need to switch up how you are motivating yourself because youre aiming for the same thing everyday and you need to switch how you do it in order to finish the end result without fail. Anyone else who thinks of more should comment below because i know theres more than just what these two and i have said let us know what we are missing.
This reminded me of a girl who had down's syndrome, and scored the best math exam result when I was a teenager attending school. The math teacher was furious because this girl had exposed all of us. Everything was so hard for her that she had to apply additional discipline to stay level with us. Except in this case she surpassed us all. If we all had failed the exam it cold have been argued that it was too hard, or something went wrong with the lessons. But she outshined us all, and made clear that we were just not disciplined enough.
With all due respect I suspect you are confusing general autism with down's syndrome. It's possible for an autistic person to be skilled (or develop skills) in some areas and to develop something like the will-power that Goggins talks about. But Down's Syndrome is a different matter. Still, your example does highlight the power of a strong will and discipline!
I think these guys like Goggins and Petersen are the surrogate parents for many, regardless of whether you have living parents or not because they weren’t raised with the life skills these guys embody. I’m glad you found a positive role model.
I started listening to Huberman's podcast back in 2023, and have finally caught up (have only like 4 episodes to go and I almost feel sad I can't binge them any more). This episode (as many others too!) made me go "oooooooooh". Knowing what the anterior mid cingulate cortex does now, when I experience that "not want", I play Goggins voice "keep talking, keep talking...." and do what I like to call "goggins it", which means not want to, but do it anyway. I am so thankful to exist in the timeline of these podcasts. (L)
It’s been a week since I first watched this podcast and it already changed my life. I will keep coming back to it and comment my progress to make sure that I don’t stop.
I've got a mystery form of retinitis pigmentosa which basically means I'm going blind. Every day is a battle to want to survive, and then survive, and then to make something of myself. And stupid as it is, David makes me so glad to feel like I'm not alone. There's a hardness that becomes part of you, and I'm tired of being so tough, but there's something in me that refuses to give up. I ain't letting go. And he gives me hope that one day I'll find myself in the company of people who understand me.

Living with ADHD I can relate so much to this. Not being able to retain information, studying day and night just to be average. Pushing through this world to keep up with the pace that gets faster year by year. Made me in tears this episode. Thank you Hubermanlab and David Goggins
@@vilma-sofiakumpulainen6374there’s no peer review evidence that suggests pomadoro has any positive effects. Instead, just try and focus until u can’t. Once ur noticing u can’t stay locked in, take a break and come back in a certain amount of time. Also, medication shouldn’t be something u refuse or look down on. Adhd is a literal lack of proper workings in ur brain. Medication with proper studying and training can improve focus exponentially
Wow- Had no idea he has ADHD in addition to several other things. Hmmmm….As a person with ADHD and several other health things going on, gonna give this episode SEVERAL listens… ❤
Fuck, I thought I was the only one that felt that way..."Pushing through this world to keep up with the pace that gets faster year by year." thank you stranger
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
@@petermccavington8232 2 Corinthians 12:8-9, 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. For the bots (metaphorically speaking). After years of working within oneself you realize the light and power you have. Not only do you have the power to better/renew oneself but also the power to help better/renew others.
Am a 24 year old year unemployed finished my graduation 3 yrs back and living in fear of facing people and fear of failing interviews and even before that fear of facing intereviews , it was such an eye opening podcast never in my life watched a podcast of 2 and half hours literally watched this podcast in one go , learned so many things through it as goggins said " people exactly know what to do but they wont do it cause the pain of hardwork it takes , its a new year and new begining for me i have to clean those cupboards have to get in that dungeon . Thanks Andrew for this awesome podcast
Suggestion if desired- try doing a couple interviews where you don’t really care if you get the job, just for practice, build confidence and develop some of the answers typical for interviews. I don’t think you are alone. My adult children are close to your age and lost a lot of social confidence during COVID. They have had to work hard to get it back- but they have!!
hi. I turned 24 just last month and I'm still studying. I been failing many times of even achieving simple habits like exercising or reading and aahhh... well it's a new year.. I'm gonna go at it and try again until I do become the person admire. glad we have these guys reaching throughsocial media and guide us
I could sit here and read these comments for hours to extend the great time I’ve had watching this show BUT I’m going to feel the hard, and “just do”, right now! Happy Holidays everyone! 🎉🎉🎉
I thinks it’s important to remember that these teachers who taught us 4 years ago are still learning, growing and transferring what they learn to us today. What a blessing!
I read this somewhere and the following sentence inspired me. I hope it inspires you guys too. The pain of discipline is better than the pain of regret. Love you David Goggins
Life is not suck…just how you look at it…do mindfulness daily at least 15-30 mins a day…self-talk and self-care…you will understand yourself better…Good luck…
62 yr women here. Much appreciation for this powerful discussion. Take away for me.."Ya gotta look in the cupboards of your unconscious mind and it's really scary in there. Be extremely diligent of what you put into acton. The truth in front of me sucks. It's painful and and that's the truth. Pinpoint your next move and have the courage, motivation, discipline, and mindset to grind it. I know what I know." Lots of insight to what and how Goggins ticks. Loved it!
I read this comment somewhere else, but David really is a modern day philosopher. How he studied and grappled with his internal dialogue, views himself as an artist who is creating himself everyday, he focuses on what's in his control, which is his own actions, rather than focusing on and being bothered by what is outside of his control. His self-awareness, reflection, sense of agency to do what is best for himself in order to be his best self is inspiring. Hearing his story and everything he went through, it gives me a lot of hope and the realization that I have the power to improve myself just like David has. Extremely grateful to you Dr. Huberman for creating this platform where we can listen to the great thinkers of the modern day. And equally as grateful to David for sharing his story and I hope he continues to go on podcasts, speak and share what he learns. Thank you.
"It's a lot more than mind over matter. It takes relentless self-discipline to schedule suffering into your day, every day." - David Goggins. This quote reminds me that we get to pick or target most of our suffering.
This podcast put into words something I've been grappling with for a while. Everywhere we look we see "stop being so hard on yourself." I went to therapy because I felt overweight, lazy, depressed, and directionless. The therapist said look at your life, you have a good job, a house, you have so many good things, so stop being hard on yourself, treat yourself, be kind to yourself, blah blah blah. Work to silence this part of yourself, and you'll be happy. No friction needed. So I stopped being hard on myself, stopped criticizing myself, I started following my base wants and desires. At first I had a little bit of positive feelings, but in the long run, I've turned into an even more overweight, lazy, depressed, directionless lump. I stopped thinking about myself and my life, stopped pushing myself. It's like I dissociated into a mildly pleasant frictionless life. I have no purpose, no meaning, no goals, no anything but go to work, eat the easiest meals, watch TV, look at my phone, and waste my money on junk. I'm sure my capitalist society loves me for it--thinks I'm perfect just like this--but I hate it. I hate myself and the life I've created. All in the spirit of not being hard on myself. All in the spirit of "give yourself some grace," as my therapist loved to put it. I'm not a piece of shit, but I sure have been acting like one, and I'm done.
As an addiction counselor (who is not in recovery) your teachings are the core in my psycho-education groups. Anxiety, trauma, cold exposure, discipline, etc..... I use all of your teachings in attempts to educate and motivate my clients to be aware and discover areas of themselves in need of more strength to fight addiction.
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
Man David Goggins is so inspiring. As someone who's a slow learner and probably has lower IQ, him being so true to himself and openness about his learning difficulties and still tries regardless is just amazing and admirable
IQ is overrated, you could be a genius but without drive it's useless! Apps like Elevate and Lumosity can help sharpen your maths, problem solving, mental flexibility etc and they are free. Just set aside 30 mins every day to train your brain and you will be amazed.
It’s my 2nd time listening. Every time I hear David Goggins, life gets simple. The obstacle is the way. Suffer to get there & find comfort in the uncomfortable. It’s exciting to think about. I know I haven’t worked hard enough. To know that’s the only thing in my way makes me excited for the challenge.
I must say I have a different perspective. For me it's about the journey, NOT the goal. Everyone always asks "what is your goal in life?". I think it's the wrong question to ask. A better question is "What journey in life do you want to go on?". The reason I think this is better is because most of your life is a journey, so you better enjoy the journey! Let's say your goal is to reach top of Mount Everest. Does it REALLY matter if you reach the top? For me, I'm happy to go half way, I still enjoyed the journey. The goal, lasts maybe one day, the journey can be weeks or months. I'm writing a book at the moment. I'm enjoying the journey. Do I need a goal that the book has to be out in 6 months, or it needs so many readers or be a best seller? No! If you enjoy the journey, quite often a successful by product will happen naturally, but pressuring yourself to have a painful journey to meet a goal is looking at life from the wrong angle. Just my opinion.
@@wrfootball3847 I love the perspective. I’m wondering how can one switch from seeking a goal to enjoying the journey ? I think society as a whole glorifies the goal 100% I do too. But enjoying the journey sounds more peaceful. But the question is How can I enjoy the journey without the goal ? Or enjoy the journey without a reward ? It’s not easy to digest because there’s no goal during the suck ?
@@wrfootball3847 If you set yoyrself a goal and you are happy if you only make it half way but then you are happy with the journey, then don't make the goal because that is just a weak mindset. If you set yourself a goal you need to tell yourself you are gonna achieve it and grit your teeth in the hard moments and eventually achieve the goal u set out to achieve! STAY HARD
@@jodydulceak4171 But he can't. As an example, no matter how hard he tried, he can't ever become a physicist or doctor, let alone finish a college degree with a respectable GPA. Which is why he sticks with paramedic school - which is cool in itself, though if he wanted to help people he could do lots more with his multi millions of $, broad reach, and ample free time. Influencers are mostly useless imho but if you have a broad reach, you should have a better message than aimlessly grinding yourself into oblivion.
@@rutvin8763using his money to donate is like giving food to a begger for one day and he starves for the rest of his life. unless he finds a way to earn money he is going to stay on the streets. Also grinding yourself to oblivion is bad when you are doing it wrong way. If you listened to the podcast CAREFULLY , he said that you know how to do it , then you grind. Hope i cleared the misconception
@rutvin8763 It's not aimlessly though. People do have a purpose when trying to achieve a goal, just like he has all his life. He explains it on his books. Also, wanting to learn and keep learning all your life is something that many of us strive for. He doesn't want to be a surgeon. What is wrong with being a paramedic? He is learning a lot!! Knowledge that he hasn't had. He doesn't have to do what you or anybody else tells them to do. He doesn't want to be a doctor or anything else. Plus, what does GPA have to do with everything he has accomplished? I value him more for his mindset and what he has done than a stupid GPA. I've met so many good for nothing ppl with high GPA but don't know what to do with their lives. Settled for horrible jobs and criticize people behind a screen all the time instead of getting off their butts to do something for themselves.
@@GreyzaP Seems like you completely missed the point of my comment. I was responding to person above saying he can do anything he sets his mind to, and I responded with examples of things he'd never be able to achieve no matter how hard he tried. Also, it seems like you're offended by the mere concept of GPA; to some extent I agree it doesn't mean much, but it's a widely accepted metric for proficiency in college level coursework, which itself is a benchmark for competence needed for desirable jobs. Being a paramedic is cool and is crucial for society, and I'd respect if an average Joe takes up the job. But Goggins is a multimillionaire influencer with a broad reach and ample free time; if he truly wants to help people he can direct that reach and resources to spread positive messages like looking after your mental health and seeking social support or therapy when needed.
Yeah ! Would be amazing if you guys share a video with how to " cracking your cupboard " it is a bit vague for me . Thanks for you videos btw and Im grateful that this internet space help people fight in their lives !
Fighting depression for years now, this last 6 months without meds. I can’t tell you how much listening to Goggins has helped me in these months. Goggins is my Rocky. Thank you Goggins for sharing your darkest moments, makes me feel there is hope to fix this fucked up mind (even though just starting at the age of 49 )you help to keep me going even if some days I fail myself. My self talk is ’m gonna fix you motherfucking fucked up brain ! ❤ you make a difference in this fucked up world.
Man i really suggest you to read Unfuck your brain by dr Faith G Harper , very good lecture to understand how all our shit in the brain start, how it works and where to start to fix it. Really practical and to me has done wonders , when you understand what happen in your brain you feel so much better because you have an explanation finally that you re not crazy and this really helps to start in a good position your journey to heal and fix yourself 👌
@@kriffapher goggin's whole point is that he isn't one of a kind, he was less than average, but through willpower alone he changed his life. Which is the most amazing part of his message and why literally anyone can do what he did. It does not take a one of a kind person to become like David, it just takes action.
David Goggins is an absolute legend. I’ve seen clips of him but until this interview didn’t realize the struggles he had to overcome and still overcomes. He is an inspiration of a human to us all. May we all learn from his story and apply it to overcome the struggles in our own lives.
I always thought the little clips that popped up in my feed were kinda cringe. Then I decided to get his first book and it changed me for the better. Absolute legend.
Felt like shit today. Got away from everyone for some alone time, sat on it a bit and realized that it was coming from feeling tired. Tired of not doing anything to change for the better. Tired of telling myself the same lies every day. Needed to hear this. Thank you!
I'm 58 a female and at one point I weighed 300 lbs. I'm only 5' tall! I have MS and have been in a nursing home 3 separate times. When I left the last time I couldn't walk 50' without someone in each arm and a wheelchair behind me. I was bedridden for 10 years. I decided I wasn't going out that way. I walked halfway to my neighbors house. Long story short,I ultimately ended up waking from my home back to same nursing home. When I walked in, Noone knew who I was! They thought I was there to visit someone! The director of the PT department had me walk for him. I quote, "If I hadn't seen it for myself, it's never believed it! You're the closest thing to an honest to God miracle that I've ever seen!" That was years ago. I've been great ever since the moment I made the choice! Thank you, David, for keeping it real!!
That's a really great story. You'll know more than me but I've suspected AutoImmune issues are the body's manifestation of the mind's attack on oneself. Do you think there is any truth in that?.
This is the literal HOLY GRAIL of the podcasts.The two of the literal bests in their crafts respectively.What a delight to see this and the learning from this was massive
When he finished the words “Perhaps actually the seat of the will to live” I immediately burst into tears and had to sit there and process why. Growing up my childhood was absolutely awful and the only thing that got me through was doing exactly what I did NOT want to do, and that was survive each day. I didn’t want to live in the hell that was my life but I kept pushing and did it anyway and now here I am, on the path to health and happiness with an intense willpower to overcome anything life throws at me. This podcast is fucking beautiful. Thank you guys.
Your life is an example of the phrase "What does not break you makes you stronger." Good that you earned your willpower from a hard childhood, because that same willpower still helps you today. I have had struggles in my own life; been homeless three times, and depressed for much of my life. So I have some willpower, but I have trouble imagining myself having even half as much as Goggins does...but that is to me good; that he exists means someone like him is possible, and thus that it is possible for me to become stronger mentally by just lots of hard effort. That does not mean I ever will strive as hard as Goggins, but I value him for inspiring me to be better.
Yesterday, I was thinking that Huberman should do a podcast with Goggins and it's here. Thanks Andrew Huberman for this Podcast of Goggins. ❤ Stay Hard.
Today I have come across this wonderful podcast randomly , I was just looking for sth to listen to before I sleep and came across it and I thank God I did at this point I promise myself that I will be the real person I always wanted to be .
Once you get over the possibility of being attacked or exposed physically or emotionally you are able to move forward without fear. David has mastered this and can proceed to open up with brutal honesty. Most of us fear being honest because of the judgement from others, once you are honest, you are finally free to live.
Dr. Huberman knew what he was doing. He was sitting on this content and planned perfectly when to drop it. Thank you for helping all who view this, start of the year great. I will watch this multiple time thru out January…. I hope everyone who watches this, implement it long after they watch this video. May you all use this video to power thru your entire year
I see a lot of people like Goggins was in my community. Low income, drunks, people in the pits of hell. I love Goggins because he doesn’t feel sorry for anyone, not even himself. We all have the ability to be great if we try. He emphasizes that he wasn’t born the David Goggins he is today. He’s the epitome of the heroes journey.
I get emotional when I listen to Goggins. He is the unadulterated truth of the unadulterated truth. A true one of one. Raw and in your face. No apologies. Thank you Dr. Huberman for making this happen.
30 minutes in and this is my favorite episode of all time. I totally relate to every single thing he's saying and hearing somebody finally say it out loud to everybody is so cathartic. This is my life too. Every single day I have to fight to exist.
The key message of David is to set goals and stick to them no matter what. Total focus and effort. Zero distractions 24/7. Demons will come but just keep going, even after slaying them!
No he didn’t. There was no advice. He said exactly the opposite thing. He said go into yourself and look for a spark. And if you truly find anything just remember that it’ll suck everyday to fully inflame it.

you are God send
I'm 16 years 284 days old as of right now. Trying to find out my purpose in my life. My own family is going through financial crisis now. I don't know what to do. This was heck of a video! Can't believe people's like David Goggins mere existence has power to bring hopes to many people throughout this damn rotten cruel world. I'm totally motivated to the fact that I won't be relying on motivation anymore and persuade to cultivate a habit even if it's damn hard, I'll endure, I'll suffer, I'll create a future where my parents can be happy and also hope to discover my purpose. I'll remember that David Goggins was also nobody until he became somebody. Thanks
Good luck for the future, you don't have to have much to be happy, work together as a team as much as possible because it really is hard out here for many. Don't make your self worth or worth about others, everyone is is their own person, don't knock yourself, keep striving and you will find your course. Be humble, it really is the little things and satisfaction with those things that are sweetest. By the way you are somebody my mere dint of being here, you count!
@@PrashantJoshiSomeGuyThough well said...my opinion may not be worth much, but I believe you will achieve greatness. Remember that while you are on your journey and something isn't working, start again, as many times as you have to. Just never stop and I don't think you will stop, your "why" is your fuel. Be proud, stay brave.

It's genuinely gold.
I’ve ran through this podcast 4 times already, it’s genuinely my favorite. Goggins is such a freak of inspiration.
For real. Some real shit spoken here
SAME :) !!
Bloody hell. What an explosive start to 2024. Kudos to Andrew, one of the most useful podcasts around.
Haan bhai sahi baat hai!
lets gooooo!!!
I like that, this is one of the most useful podcasts around
I automatically read “Bloody Hell” in JP’s voice lol.
That's right, he is a wonderful person who inspires me and many others
I’m “49 and a multi millionaire. I don’t have to do anything.”
Blows my mind hearing that flex. He is right. He’s accomplished so much and is STILL pushing a piece of himself. Paramedic? A multi millionaire moving into being a paramedic? Amazing David. Love this man! Thanks for inspiring us DAILY
And don't forget smokediving.
@@meltygear5955 It’s obvious that it isn’t about money since he only gets paid around 12$ an hour for smoke jumping and it’s probably the most dangerous job in the world. He’s a beast
It's pointless all hes doing is taking the spot of someone who would be working long term.
It was such a good point
It’s real inner strength to keep staying fit and mentally motivated
I loved that
@@roberto125919 You're implying that there's a competition to be a paramedic instead of a lack of those who want to be one.
This guy is a multimillionaire. He doesn’t need to grind. He keeps grinding and being useful to other people. This is someone to look up to. This guy is a real life hero.
yea but he's also extremely traumatized by his past. he's an impressive person but he has lots of scar tissue he hasn't resolved
I'm sure he will when he decides to get to it. Scars are gold.
@@DJx6293he’s «happy», he’s found his way. He uses his trauma to his own benefit, and he could actually give some credit to the trauma for pushing him. Without the trauma he would have been a nobody
Money isn't purpose. David has purpose.
@@DJx6293yeah
I am 17 years old and I'm writing this from 2024 I promise to change myself and come back here next year with a better version of myself
This is such a powerful commitment! 🙌 At 17, taking charge of your future and striving to become a better version of yourself is incredibly inspiring. 🌟 Keep that fire burning, and we can’t wait to hear about your growth next year-rooting for you every step of the way! 💪🔥
Good for you. Define where you want to grow and lock in 🦾🦾
good morning dude
Next year is here 😇
Update
Andrew is not only a great podcaster but a phenomenal listener. What a great way to start the year
Yes!!!!!
How would you not listen when David Goggins is sitting in front of you? Lol
Wow so obvious! LOL.. glad you actually paid attention.
Yes, not like DJ Vlad that speaks over guests.
A rare skill
seven months ago I discovered Goggins, feels like ages, can't even recognize myself. started working out, gave up addictions(smoking, drinking), started learning to code for a job transition and I can say with certainty that no matter what happens now I am not stopping. this world is full of suffering and I will choose my own suffering or life will choose it for me. for me and so many people like me who went through abusive households, racism, depression, and hopelessness all we ever needed was proof that it could be done what this guy did. best of luck, see ya.
❤
Boy isn't that a dark truth. To live is to suffer. The gift life gives is the option to choose how we suffer.
We either suffer through the climb to the top. Or suffer at the bottom. No way out.
Beautiful perspective. Your renewed mindset will certainly take you far. I have no degree and by grace, managed to break into tech. All the best with your journey💖
@@kaufmanat1 it's probably not a coincidence that Buddhism declares "life is suffering."
Yes brother
I am 15 years old now and I am writing this from 2024. This podcast has changed my life, I am forgetting the past and starting to work, I know it will be difficult, but I will try to endure. My goal is to study medicine and become an excellent doctor. I hope I can achieve my goal.
You should read his book "can't hurt me"
You will endure. It is the only option. You either work to get what you want or you don't. I think you will. It is a mindset and lifestyle change, however. You are going to realize how different you are than everyone else & that is ok. 15 is a hard age. At least it was for me. Just try your best to not get in your own way. Made the hard right decision, not the easy wrong one.
Good luck! Keep being resilient, for yourself! Meanwhile, I'm trying to be a great guitar player one day.
Blessings🙏🏻 the fact that you’re 15 watching and absorbing the information in this video shows you’ll go far!!
@symbol9new maybe even start with his second (audio) book. It's amazing
David Goggins has helped me not relapse on fentanyl for over 4 years. When things get rough, I listen to Goggins. I have a support group and follow the 12 steps but Goggins has some kind of determination for life in his voice that is better than any meeting I've been to. Thank you, sir.
Damn you genuinely beautiful
He might have helped you but you did that your self congrats on the staying clean Im clean off that shit for 4+ years also but I think I forget how hard that shit was cuz I got thru it and I’ve been letting “normal” stuff in life beat my ass so bad lately that I gave up 🤦♂️ This comment def helped me like hearing Goggins helped you thanks for being real thanks Jessica 🫡
2 months later, this episode literally changed my life. I go for the suck everyday, working out 6 days a week, signed up for half an ironman, and keep on fighting everyday for that perishable skill.
8 months go, i started changing my life around, since then I lost 55 pounds, started cooking, stopped smoking and drinking and did my first triathlon.
Let me tell you that this podcast locked in this mindset for the rest of my life.
I will never be able to thank you both enough for
You're also inspiring! Cheers brother, and keep it going!
Yes i done the same, Gym + Muay Thai + Stretchings routines + i study Computer Science + learning daily 10-15 minutes a new language + if i have time i read a book where iam uneducated. Before this all i was a drug Addict. To hear like its every day a choice again and again was important for me.
Lets go men! Keep going
Needs to be 7 days a week
AWESOME!!!🔥🔥🔥🤬🤬💪🏾
"What are you willing to give up to find every bit of who you are as a human being?" Damn i felt that.
a powerful question to answer by re-creating a new version of self - giving up those attractive and addictive habits are really hard. thanks for quoting this

I’m in tears. I thought I was dumb for 46 years. Ive been changing my life this year. You’re an inspiration!
You aren't. Life makes us think this way, there are actual dumb and weird people out there, like people who walk in broad daylight naked without a care in the world in the middle of a city. If those people can be that shameless and carefree, then I never had anything to be afraid in the first place.
for me you are an inspiration
"I realized that my entire life was gonna be a struggle, so I ignored it". For all the neurotic people like me out there, this is the best advice possible. Just accept that you're always going to be anxious and miserable, and use it as a fuel to do something worthwhile. Thank you, David Goggins and Dr. Huberman for an immensely inspiring episode.
Benjamin, it's not about accepting anxiety and misery. Nobody bares being miserable all the time. It's about taking responsability for it. Doing something about it. Making the best of it. Anxiety- when disfunctional- is about feeling small compared to fears, challenges and possibilities. The job is to grow up and become stronger. If you put too much focus on the struggle, you'll miss all the oportunities of growth. Read Tara Brach's "Radical Acceptance". It's an amazing book.
I entirely agree with you my friend🔨💪
That's right, he is a wonderful person who inspires me and many others
Agree! Inspiring it is.
I agree. Hit me hard.
Huberman and goggins came together to create the most legendary podcast in existence
Facts!!!! 💯
For sure
FORREAL!!!
Real

One of the best things about this podcast is Andrews ability to give David the space to vent and express himself. Andrew is a great listener and I'm glad David has been able to tell his story even after years of trauma.
Agreed. This level of raw emotion is difficult to put in words, so big up to Huberman for his interviewing skills and for giving David a platform to fully express himself.
He never wanted to vent up after trauma dude! He was saying this.. Trying to convey this only all through this podcast!
Andrew is the best. A perfect example of an intellectual, an accomplished man and a skilled conversationalist. I so appreciate the way he insists on breaking it down for his lay audience. Makes it more interesting and encourages one to listen to the end and even want more . It's pretty frustrating and boring when folks begin to talk to each other forgetting that "we" may not know what certain terms and theories mean. Andrew is always aware of that and insists certain words, concepts etc be explained and/or defined.
Andrew Huberman is so versatile and expanding himself everyday all while giving us such insights...
How he stretched "Don't be a bitch" "Don't want to, then fuck you," into 2.5 hours is the most impressive part.
I sent the clip about studying with ADD to my add daughter. She beats herself up that it takes her twice as long to memorize/ learn something it takes everyone else. Mind you she has all A’s all thanks to discipline. Now I can show her this incredible human being & how he tackled that challenge. Step 1- stop feeling sorry for yourself & embrace the pain. Goggins, Ive read both of your books inside out, got the guts and discipline to study medicine at 46, write a book, and heal my own goddamn autoimmune diseases. Now I coach others how to do it. Keep inspiring us brother!
TheNova: how much added sugar or refined carbs does she consume? Does she get a lot of exercise? Those are huge, ADD especially ADHD is significantly tied to insulin resistance of the brain
@ I’m grateful you mentioned this. We eat very clean in my house. I cook everything from scratch. The only high glycemic carbs she eats are fruits. An occasional piece of chocolate. Not a sugar lover, unlike most kids. She plays sports. No insulin resistance as of now. I am still looking into better nutrition practices for ADHD. Ill take any other suggestions you may have.
You are doing good work keep going
I’m 32 and my life is currently in shambles. My addiction to alcohol has been the main culprit. Life got so bad and mentally so dark that I was addicted to escaping reality instead of facing it. Today is day two of sobriety and I am determined to turn this shit around. Watching this podcast for the first time to help me STAY HARD! Good luck to anybody going through it. We will be alright. Just keep truckin 🤘🏻
Update: Today marks 31 days sober. I still have things I need to handle but sobriety was top of the list. Next up is securing a job. Let’s do this!
Update 2: Today is October 1st, making it two months of sobriety for me. Still haven’t locked down a better job but I will triumph! Thank you all for the kind words 🙏🏻
Update 3: October 3rd, still sober and got a job interview on the 8th. LFG!!
Update 4: I am sorry people, this is not the update you want. I made it sober from August 1st to October 13th. Said fuck it on the 14th and decided to drink. Was able to keep it “under control” for about a month and a half until last Friday (November 22nd) I somehow wound up in self destruct mode and have been excessively drinking ever since. Life is back in a wreck and I am struggling. I didn’t get that job btw. For anyone who cares, next update will be when I am on top again. God bless you all 🙏🏻
2025 Update: Happy New Year everyone! Today is January 6th and the day that I get back in the fight. Let’s go!
Day by day, hour by hour ☀️ -> Best of Luck.
Go to an aa meeting , you aren’t the first or last to have trouble with alcohol.
Meet some other recovering alcoholics , they can help you change your life
good luck brother I'm rooting for you
I feel this I was addicted to alcohol for the pain relief
Instead of luck I wish you strength my friend, ❤ been in your shoes 😊
This has to be the greatest video of 2024. The anger, the rage and the pain in David's eyes and words is moving. Gonna go over this one again and again.
Incredibly moving. Everyone can resonate with what was said, even though we may never see things like David does. The passion in this episode hits hard.
This is a call to arms! We all have so much more to give in our magnum opus.
I feel exactly the same. One of the Best video ever! I’m gonna be rewatching this many many times to get it in my head
@mthoodstyle Listened to just the trailer and was floored. No place to hide, no excuse. A call to action.
bro the year just started hahah. no but this was a very valuable interview
*WORD OF ADVICE* : the mindset of a hard worker doesn't care that today is January 1. Doesn't matter what day it is. You put in as much energy today as you do on March 8 and October 23. Its everyday for the rest of your life and the faster you learn to be ok with that, that easier it gets. Stay hard!
True words
True and wise words
Every. Day. Is YOUR day.
I’m hard alright🎉
I will remember to work extra hard on October 23 😄
My boyfriend is a Marine. One phrase I've learned from him and embedded in my mind is "Embrace the suck." It helped me tremendously with so many different things.
This whole podcast my biggest take-away has been:
"I'm wasting time listening to this podcast - I know what I have to do, but instead I'm doing exactly what Goggins is describing - I'm wasting time listening and theorizing instead of getting up and getting after it."
I'm the "I'll go at the quarter hour" kind of person Andrew described. I love my downtime too much. Goggins inspires me more than I inspire myself, and I think that's the problem I (and many others) have. Goggins is telling us to leave him alone as much as possible and go do what we know we ought to as much as possible.
Thanks Goggins, and thanks Andrew.
I'm gonna go now.
Happy 2024, folks.
Stay hard!
I don't think what he was saying was to inspire yourself but to slowly build sheer destructive willpower through putting yourself into the suffering and specifically targeting what you hate the most like he says how he hates running and how there's no motivation no passion no dopamine at 300 pounds at least that's what I took from it and lots more
Exactly. Stay hard!
I’m going now too

That’s crazy I’m sorry for your loss but in the end you will be stronger and possibly a person someone else can lean toward during their time of loss you got this man
I’m so glad your parents left you their boats… 🛥️

Andrew, this one is going to be very difficult to top. I'm a 76 year old woman who is ultra inspired by this young man....David Goggins. He is one of a kind with much to offer the world. I will watch this again and again. I was touched to see his sensitivity and emotion surface from time to time. Thank you for this, Andrew. Please bring him back.
😢
You would love his audiobooks. You should look into them.

This is the Documentary that announced Davig goggings immense powerful inner dialogue
It took me about 2-3 years to finally understand that improving yourself isn't supposed to be fun - thanks David, going to stop looking for the fun & lose myself in the work.
*find myself in the work
Best comment
was just thinking that same thing. find yourself in the suck baby!!! don't loose yourself, if anything loose all the bad habits @@biggSHNDO
The comments he makes about 'hacks' key into our modern view that there's a 'smart' solution for everything. No. It's willpower. Visualise your end destination and then do the hard work to get there. No excuses. Every day. That is the only surefire route to success.
Tom Platz once said "If you feel that you could've done more, then you are a loser". Success isn't a fun process, but the results you get are worth it. It's not "do it and continue living mediocre life", it's a lifestyle.
I listen to this at least once a week, David Goggins keeps saying he isn't smart, but this man is a goddamn genius. The wisdom here is priceless. God bless you all, stay hard, stay humble, go get it!
Nice! Two of my favorite people on the Internet in one podcast 🔥
I fell into a bad place with both my mental and physical health about a year ago. Goggins is one of the biggest inspirations that got me out of that place. I was able to lose 40 lbs busting my ass working out twice a day no matter what. I hope he knows how many people he’s helped. And fuck the haters.
Hey mate, don't know if you will see this. You were actually one of the people motivating me when I initially got into freelancing 4 years ago. You have helped me too! It is funny to see you commenting on this video. Anyway, I hope you are doing better!
Your content has helped me tremendously as I learned web development and sought my first software engineering job. Thank you, you’re fucking amazing. So glad to know you’re crushing it.
my another hero...
insane seeing you in this comment section! you’re a legend
That's right. Fuck ALL that ever hate on Goggins.
After a life of abuse. Having no shield from the world. 4 gunshot wounds including a .44 to the face. I totally relate. Over the last 10 years of following people like him I've been able to overcome mountains. I'm still going. Thank you David G
God bless you king!
Damn! Good luck
I salute you, keep fighting the good fight.

My 5th grade teacher, Mr. Brown taught me a phrase that always stuck with me and has helped me in so many areas of my life.
“The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is that those that are successful can make themselves do the things they don’t want to do.”

I watched this podcast when I was working out at home every night in persian because I needed to be motivated in my dark days! My mother was at the hospital but I didn't want to give up and become hopeless every night I watched the persian version of this episode and working out so hard!! I got through those tough days of my life and really want to change everything. I can't believe that I wrote in English😅 one of the changes is that I want to start learning English again! God bless you I hope you the best in 2025 & Peace , Health , calmness and success for people all around the world. Sorry for the mistakes in my written English 😬🌹🌼
It's amazing that the public defines this person by his willpower and physical prowess. In my opinion, his strength comes from his constant and deep introspection. His self-awareness is remarkable especially when you factor in his disabilities.
True words
You nailed it
It shows how shallow the average perspective is.
"Most people are missing something because they don't know who they are." The most powerful and truthful statement in this entire podcast. Thank you again, Goggins!!! Moreover, Andrew did his best job in this interview! His interview skills were nearly perfect! Demonstrated patience, deep listening, clarified ideas, allowed Goggins to express himself, asked hard questions, and helped the audience see who Goggins really is. Thank you so much for this podcast!

That's not true. WE THINK we know what to do but in reality we DON'T.

After reading Goggins “Can’t Hurt Me” it changed my life. I was stuck in a bad place inside my mind. I limited myself and my beliefs. I was hanging drywall, hating my job. Didn’t think I could be anything more. After reading his book, I was so inspired that at 27 I decided to go to college for the first time. I told myself for yearssssss I was never good at school I could never do it, but after his book I stopped believing that bullshit. I’m currently going for my associates degree, looking to graduate the PTA program. 3.92 GPA, and I’m focused as fuck! It’s not easy, and there are sacrifices that have to be made every day to keep pursuing my college career. But it’s fucking worth it. When Goggins says in this interview, some will understand me and grow from this guy. That’s exactly what I did. Thank you Goggins for everything you do and the inspiration you give so many people. I believe God, or whoever your higher power is, works through people. And that’s what’s happening with Goggins here. Let’s fucking GO!!!
Respect sir!! Keep going

For a man that doesn’t like to do Podcast, he sure gives one hell of one. Thank god for podcasts! You don’t get these amazing conversations in the mainstream media!
I think the big takeaways from Goggins' life are
1) life sucks, so embrace it
2) you just gotta do it. No more books or seminars. Getting it done is the only way to do get it done.
Embrace your own unique mind and discover your own unique algorithms,patterns, and internal dialogue to get the though hard situations.
Conquer your fear of the unknown by leaning into fear,discomfort and pain. Discover what’s truly on that other side of pure hell and suffering
Theres more. You have to do it alone there will be no one in your corner while you work they will only be there after you achieve success.
Be upfront to your loved ones about your intentions and share your goals with them so they know what to expect after you take care of ALL of their needs.
If you want to keep the mindset you have then youll need to continue to do those things you hate to do not just the ones you enjoy.
If you ever get stuck in life you need to switch up how you are motivating yourself because youre aiming for the same thing everyday and you need to switch how you do it in order to finish the end result without fail.
Anyone else who thinks of more should comment below because i know theres more than just what these two and i have said let us know what we are missing.
No two was actually a relief to hear.
@@zoecoote3746Welcome to reality.
how tf do these people become millionaires saying the most basic shit imaginable
This reminded me of a girl who had down's syndrome, and scored the best math exam result when I was a teenager attending school. The math teacher was furious because this girl had exposed all of us. Everything was so hard for her that she had to apply additional discipline to stay level with us. Except in this case she surpassed us all. If we all had failed the exam it cold have been argued that it was too hard, or something went wrong with the lessons. But she outshined us all, and made clear that we were just not disciplined enough.
$
STAY HARD
And that teacher's name? Albert Einstein.
With all due respect I suspect you are confusing general autism with down's syndrome. It's possible for an autistic person to be skilled (or develop skills) in some areas and to develop something like the will-power that Goggins talks about. But Down's Syndrome is a different matter. Still, your example does highlight the power of a strong will and discipline!
Really!!!!
I lost my father when I was 5, and I'm happy to know you guys. You are like the father I didn't have for me.
Good choice! 👍
🙏🏻
I think these guys like Goggins and Petersen are the surrogate parents for many, regardless of whether you have living parents or not because they weren’t raised with the life skills these guys embody. I’m glad you found a positive role model.
I started listening to Huberman's podcast back in 2023, and have finally caught up (have only like 4 episodes to go and I almost feel sad I can't binge them any more). This episode (as many others too!) made me go "oooooooooh". Knowing what the anterior mid cingulate cortex does now, when I experience that "not want", I play Goggins voice "keep talking, keep talking...." and do what I like to call "goggins it", which means not want to, but do it anyway.
I am so thankful to exist in the timeline of these podcasts. (L)
It’s been a week since I first watched this podcast and it already changed my life. I will keep coming back to it and comment my progress to make sure that I don’t stop.
Hell yeah bro
Get after it!
Do it 💪
“Stay hard” 💪🏻
Where's the progress update?
I've got a mystery form of retinitis pigmentosa which basically means I'm going blind. Every day is a battle to want to survive, and then survive, and then to make something of myself. And stupid as it is, David makes me so glad to feel like I'm not alone. There's a hardness that becomes part of you, and I'm tired of being so tough, but there's something in me that refuses to give up. I ain't letting go. And he gives me hope that one day I'll find myself in the company of people who understand me.
You’ve got this! More power to you 💪🏼

@@vilma-sofiakumpulainen6374there’s no peer review evidence that suggests pomadoro has any positive effects. Instead, just try and focus until u can’t. Once ur noticing u can’t stay locked in, take a break and come back in a certain amount of time. Also, medication shouldn’t be something u refuse or look down on. Adhd is a literal lack of proper workings in ur brain. Medication with proper studying and training can improve focus exponentially
Wow- Had no idea he has ADHD in addition to several other things. Hmmmm….As a person with ADHD and several other health things going on, gonna give this episode SEVERAL listens… ❤

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

62 yr women here. Much appreciation for this powerful discussion. Take away for me.."Ya gotta look in the cupboards of your unconscious mind and it's really scary in there. Be extremely diligent of what you put into acton. The truth in front of me sucks. It's painful and and that's the truth. Pinpoint your next move and have the courage, motivation, discipline, and mindset to grind it. I know what I know." Lots of insight to what and how Goggins ticks. Loved it!
I read this comment somewhere else, but David really is a modern day philosopher. How he studied and grappled with his internal dialogue, views himself as an artist who is creating himself everyday, he focuses on what's in his control, which is his own actions, rather than focusing on and being bothered by what is outside of his control. His self-awareness, reflection, sense of agency to do what is best for himself in order to be his best self is inspiring. Hearing his story and everything he went through, it gives me a lot of hope and the realization that I have the power to improve myself just like David has. Extremely grateful to you Dr. Huberman for creating this platform where we can listen to the great thinkers of the modern day. And equally as grateful to David for sharing his story and I hope he continues to go on podcasts, speak and share what he learns.
Thank you.

This podcast put into words something I've been grappling with for a while. Everywhere we look we see "stop being so hard on yourself." I went to therapy because I felt overweight, lazy, depressed, and directionless. The therapist said look at your life, you have a good job, a house, you have so many good things, so stop being hard on yourself, treat yourself, be kind to yourself, blah blah blah. Work to silence this part of yourself, and you'll be happy. No friction needed. So I stopped being hard on myself, stopped criticizing myself, I started following my base wants and desires. At first I had a little bit of positive feelings, but in the long run, I've turned into an even more overweight, lazy, depressed, directionless lump. I stopped thinking about myself and my life, stopped pushing myself. It's like I dissociated into a mildly pleasant frictionless life. I have no purpose, no meaning, no goals, no anything but go to work, eat the easiest meals, watch TV, look at my phone, and waste my money on junk. I'm sure my capitalist society loves me for it--thinks I'm perfect just like this--but I hate it. I hate myself and the life I've created. All in the spirit of not being hard on myself. All in the spirit of "give yourself some grace," as my therapist loved to put it. I'm not a piece of shit, but I sure have been acting like one, and I'm done.

Being hard on yourself in the pursuit of growth is absolutely key. And, growth is suffering, growth is change. Your brain wont like it. You got this!

This podcast really opened my eyes. David is an incredible human being, and if everyone were so determined as him, the world would be a better place.
I believe David is more then determined. If you look just a bit deeper, he is a very kind and sensitive man.
Man David Goggins is so inspiring. As someone who's a slow learner and probably has lower IQ, him being so true to himself and openness about his learning difficulties and still tries regardless is just amazing and admirable
IQ is overrated, you could be a genius but without drive it's useless! Apps like Elevate and Lumosity can help sharpen your maths, problem solving, mental flexibility etc and they are free. Just set aside 30 mins every day to train your brain and you will be amazed.
Same here!!!!
THIS PODCAST CHANGED MY LIFE!!!! I FOUND MY 3RD VOICE AND LISTENING TO IT EVERYDAY.
This man is probably the best role model for anyone going through suffering.Thank you David for getting rid of the bs from our minds.
It’s my 2nd time listening. Every time I hear David Goggins, life gets simple. The obstacle is the way. Suffer to get there & find comfort in the uncomfortable. It’s exciting to think about. I know I haven’t worked hard enough. To know that’s the only thing in my way makes me excited for the challenge.
I must say I have a different perspective. For me it's about the journey, NOT the goal. Everyone always asks "what is your goal in life?". I think it's the wrong question to ask. A better question is "What journey in life do you want to go on?". The reason I think this is better is because most of your life is a journey, so you better enjoy the journey!
Let's say your goal is to reach top of Mount Everest. Does it REALLY matter if you reach the top? For me, I'm happy to go half way, I still enjoyed the journey. The goal, lasts maybe one day, the journey can be weeks or months.
I'm writing a book at the moment. I'm enjoying the journey. Do I need a goal that the book has to be out in 6 months, or it needs so many readers or be a best seller? No!
If you enjoy the journey, quite often a successful by product will happen naturally, but pressuring yourself to have a painful journey to meet a goal is looking at life from the wrong angle. Just my opinion.
@@wrfootball3847 I love the perspective. I’m wondering how can one switch from seeking a goal to enjoying the journey ? I think society as a whole glorifies the goal 100% I do too. But enjoying the journey sounds more peaceful. But the question is How can I enjoy the journey without the goal ? Or enjoy the journey without a reward ? It’s not easy to digest because there’s no goal during the suck ?
@@wrfootball3847 If you set yoyrself a goal and you are happy if you only make it half way but then you are happy with the journey, then don't make the goal because that is just a weak mindset. If you set yourself a goal you need to tell yourself you are gonna achieve it and grit your teeth in the hard moments and eventually achieve the goal u set out to achieve! STAY HARD

@@jodydulceak4171 But he can't. As an example, no matter how hard he tried, he can't ever become a physicist or doctor, let alone finish a college degree with a respectable GPA. Which is why he sticks with paramedic school - which is cool in itself, though if he wanted to help people he could do lots more with his multi millions of $, broad reach, and ample free time. Influencers are mostly useless imho but if you have a broad reach, you should have a better message than aimlessly grinding yourself into oblivion.
@@rutvin8763using his money to donate is like giving food to a begger for one day and he starves for the rest of his life. unless he finds a way to earn money he is going to stay on the streets. Also grinding yourself to oblivion is bad when you are doing it wrong way. If you listened to the podcast CAREFULLY , he said that you know how to do it , then you grind. Hope i cleared the misconception
@rutvin8763 It's not aimlessly though. People do have a purpose when trying to achieve a goal, just like he has all his life. He explains it on his books. Also, wanting to learn and keep learning all your life is something that many of us strive for. He doesn't want to be a surgeon. What is wrong with being a paramedic? He is learning a lot!! Knowledge that he hasn't had. He doesn't have to do what you or anybody else tells them to do. He doesn't want to be a doctor or anything else. Plus, what does GPA have to do with everything he has accomplished? I value him more for his mindset and what he has done than a stupid GPA. I've met so many good for nothing ppl with high GPA but don't know what to do with their lives. Settled for horrible jobs and criticize people behind a screen all the time instead of getting off their butts to do something for themselves.
@@GreyzaP Seems like you completely missed the point of my comment. I was responding to person above saying he can do anything he sets his mind to, and I responded with examples of things he'd never be able to achieve no matter how hard he tried. Also, it seems like you're offended by the mere concept of GPA; to some extent I agree it doesn't mean much, but it's a widely accepted metric for proficiency in college level coursework, which itself is a benchmark for competence needed for desirable jobs.
Being a paramedic is cool and is crucial for society, and I'd respect if an average Joe takes up the job. But Goggins is a multimillionaire influencer with a broad reach and ample free time; if he truly wants to help people he can direct that reach and resources to spread positive messages like looking after your mental health and seeking social support or therapy when needed.
Thanks!
This podcast is Dr. Huberman's new year gift to the world. Can't thank you enough doc.💫🌸
Agree
A crossover of two brilliant minds! Much needed episode.
Yeah ! Would be amazing if you guys share a video with how to " cracking your cupboard " it is a bit vague for me . Thanks for you videos btw and Im grateful that this internet space help people fight in their lives !
One of the best crossovers of all time.
Yo! CajunKoi!
Nice seeing you here.
Yo! What's up! @@AlanMartinez-
Yeahh most awaited one
Fighting depression for years now, this last 6 months without meds. I can’t tell you how much listening to Goggins has helped me in these months. Goggins is my Rocky. Thank you Goggins for sharing your darkest moments, makes me feel there is hope to fix this fucked up mind (even though just starting at the age of 49 )you help to keep me going even if some days I fail myself. My self talk is ’m gonna fix you motherfucking fucked up brain ! ❤ you make a difference in this fucked up world.
You'll get there, brother. Hang in there long enough and good things will happen. Never give up the fight.
WHOS GONNA CARRY THE BOATS!?
@@Steelrain322THEY DONT KNOW ME SON!!!! THEY DONT KNOW ME SON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY DON"T KNOW ME SONNNNN!!!!! KEEP AT IT FELLOW HUMAN BEING
Man i really suggest you to read Unfuck your brain by dr Faith G Harper , very good lecture to understand how all our shit in the brain start, how it works and where to start to fix it.
Really practical and to me has done wonders , when you understand what happen in your brain you feel so much better because you have an explanation finally that you re not crazy and this really helps to start in a good position your journey to heal and fix yourself 👌
It's damn clear that , how David explains his life without forgetting the questions of huberman !! He created Focus man!! Damn🦁🦁
David Goggins is a one of a kind. I admire him so much. I am so glad he shares his life story.
lmao he preaches the opposite but ok
@@musabkartalhow do you mean?
@@kriffapher goggin's whole point is that he isn't one of a kind, he was less than average, but through willpower alone he changed his life. Which is the most amazing part of his message and why literally anyone can do what he did. It does not take a one of a kind person to become like David, it just takes action.
David Goggins is an absolute legend. I’ve seen clips of him but until this interview didn’t realize the struggles he had to overcome and still overcomes. He is an inspiration of a human to us all. May we all learn from his story and apply it to overcome the struggles in our own lives.
definitely read the book if you have not yet❤
Yeh dude, you’ve got to listen to his first book at least
Goggins abandoned his daughter. He is a quitter in my book. Im oldskool though.
@@durianridersthe story is different than what you think. To be honest, she was my neighbor and trust me is not even close to what you think.
I always thought the little clips that popped up in my feed were kinda cringe. Then I decided to get his first book and it changed me for the better. Absolute legend.
Felt like shit today. Got away from everyone for some alone time, sat on it a bit and realized that it was coming from feeling tired. Tired of not doing anything to change for the better. Tired of telling myself the same lies every day. Needed to hear this. Thank you!
this ongod
You got this brother!! Build strength and good luck!
Go get it. Stay hard!
Wow! The shear passion and power in those words had me in tears multiple times during that podcast and I don't even know why...
I'm 58 a female and at one point I weighed 300 lbs. I'm only 5' tall! I have MS and have been in a nursing home 3 separate times. When I left the last time I couldn't walk 50' without someone in each arm and a wheelchair behind me. I was bedridden for 10 years. I decided I wasn't going out that way. I walked halfway to my neighbors house. Long story short,I ultimately ended up waking from my home back to same nursing home. When I walked in, Noone knew who I was! They thought I was there to visit someone! The director of the PT department had me walk for him. I quote, "If I hadn't seen it for myself, it's never believed it! You're the closest thing to an honest to God miracle that I've ever seen!" That was years ago. I've been great ever since the moment I made the choice! Thank you, David, for keeping it real!!
That's genuinely amazing.
That's a really great story. You'll know more than me but I've suspected AutoImmune issues are the body's manifestation of the mind's attack on oneself. Do you think there is any truth in that?.
I relate. ❤
❤❤❤
❤❤❤
I see Goggins, I click. Simple.
Facts!!!💯🙌🏽🔥
This is the literal HOLY GRAIL of the podcasts.The two of the literal bests in their crafts respectively.What a delight to see this and the learning from this was massive
I became World record holder of Most burpee in 12 hours just thank to his man.
Thank to him and to people sharing his mindset.
Stay strong 💪
Best way to start a new year, a new day, a new David goggins podcast
Completely agree, my New year present has arrived 🙂
When he finished the words “Perhaps actually the seat of the will to live” I immediately burst into tears and had to sit there and process why. Growing up my childhood was absolutely awful and the only thing that got me through was doing exactly what I did NOT want to do, and that was survive each day. I didn’t want to live in the hell that was my life but I kept pushing and did it anyway and now here I am, on the path to health and happiness with an intense willpower to overcome anything life throws at me. This podcast is fucking beautiful. Thank you guys.
Your life is an example of the phrase "What does not break you makes you stronger." Good that you earned your willpower from a hard childhood, because that same willpower still helps you today. I have had struggles in my own life; been homeless three times, and depressed for much of my life. So I have some willpower, but I have trouble imagining myself having even half as much as Goggins does...but that is to me good; that he exists means someone like him is possible, and thus that it is possible for me to become stronger mentally by just lots of hard effort. That does not mean I ever will strive as hard as Goggins, but I value him for inspiring me to be better.
Hell yeah! Keep walking twin no one can move those legs but you
Proud of you! 💚
beautiful comment
Yesterday, I was thinking that Huberman should do a podcast with Goggins and it's here.
Thanks Andrew Huberman for this Podcast of Goggins. ❤
Stay Hard.
Perfect start of the year
Stay hard!
Power of thoughts❤
u just spent your only new year wish
@@real_madara yeah
Today I have come across this wonderful podcast randomly , I was just looking for sth to listen to before I sleep and came across it and I thank God I did at this point I promise myself that I will be the real person I always wanted to be .
This podcast blew my mind. I’ve never heard a man be so honest and vulnerable. I know so many people need to hear this. Great way to start 2024!
Once you get over the possibility of being attacked or exposed physically or emotionally you are able to move forward without fear. David has mastered this and can proceed to open up with brutal honesty. Most of us fear being honest because of the judgement from others, once you are honest, you are finally free to live.
@@nosocialmedia2854 Yupp, he knows who he is, he's accepted who he is and thats that. Everything else is just background noise.
Dr. Huberman knew what he was doing. He was sitting on this content and planned perfectly when to drop it. Thank you for helping all who view this, start of the year great. I will watch this multiple time thru out January…. I hope everyone who watches this, implement it long after they watch this video. May you all use this video to power thru your entire year
Yes indeed! This really got me going today!
I see a lot of people like Goggins was in my community. Low income, drunks, people in the pits of hell. I love Goggins because he doesn’t feel sorry for anyone, not even himself. We all have the ability to be great if we try. He emphasizes that he wasn’t born the David Goggins he is today. He’s the epitome of the heroes journey.
I get emotional when I listen to Goggins. He is the unadulterated truth of the unadulterated truth. A true one of one. Raw and in your face. No apologies.
Thank you Dr. Huberman for making this happen.
30 minutes in and this is my favorite episode of all time. I totally relate to every single thing he's saying and hearing somebody finally say it out loud to everybody is so cathartic. This is my life too. Every single day I have to fight to exist.
I relate with that last part man. It will get better i promise
The key message of David is to set goals and stick to them no matter what. Total focus and effort. Zero distractions 24/7. Demons will come but just keep going, even after slaying them!
I'm Gay!🎉
No he didn’t. There was no advice. He said exactly the opposite thing.
He said go into yourself and look for a spark. And if you truly find anything just remember that it’ll suck everyday to fully inflame it.
Every person who watches this video has the potential to unlock something deep within. You're helping spark that change.
