Overall Meaning

The lyrics of David Hasselhoff's song "Do you love me?" talks about a person who has been rejected by their lover because they couldn't dance or be a part of their lifestyle. However, the person is back with a newfound confidence and skill in dancing and wants to impress their lover with their moves. The song is upbeat and confident, with the singer asking their lover repeatedly if they love them, now that they can dance. The lyrics are a perfect depiction of a person leveling up to impress their partner.

For me, the fundamental steps of change went like this:

step 1: shock. This step was me hearing the truth in the most blunt, painful way possible. For me, the person who did that was Wes Watson. He pulls absolutely no punches in his criticism of weakness, he makes you feel sick over your weakness, even more than Goggins.

Step 2: Shape. I had to learn to take that self disgust and apply it constructively. This is where Goggins’ teaching excels. To assess my pain, gather it all, and focus it at my weakness. Flip a negative to a positive.

Step 3: Refinement. This step means sifting out the negative parts of becoming hardened from the positive parts, because make no mistake, there are negatives to becoming calloused, and the most experienced men curb these negatives. Things like true overwork, not spending enough time with loved ones, being so deep in bunker mentality that you can’t connect with regular people. This is where people like Jocko Willink come in. True professors of discipline, immersed in every facet of it from the beginning. They are experienced in strength, naturals if you will. I surround myself with the influences of people like them, to me the true prime example of this type of person is Jonny Kim, the end goal. A man who has the thickest callouses possible, yet still maintains a vulnerable connection to the humanity of others. As hard as possible, but also soft in the ways that count, if you understand my meaning. I’ve burned these men into my mind, they are what lies at the end of the path, the fully formed and realized distillation of strength, discipline, and therefor freedom. Hate to steal Jocko’s quote but it’s the truest thing he’s ever said and probably the most fundamental truth of life. I can’t think of any statement more true. It is a truth that has the power to turn a lost drug addict like I was into an inhuman machine, built to fulfill promises, provide security and be a pillar for their loved ones to lean on.

Step 4: Go further, if that’s possible. I’m certainly going to try and find out.

I’m 39 and I ran 20 miles on Jan 1st listening to Goggins. I smoked a pack a day and drank myself to sleep every night 6 months ago. Quit everything. Started running in October. Once you change your mindset it really changes how you see your possibilities. Like I just don’t care now I’m doing it. Nothing bothers me.

Goggins saved my life, when I first heard a youtube vid with him I weighed 420bs at 6 foot and 42yrs old !! 7 months later id lost 170 of those !! and turned the rest into muscle. Still running weekly , wont ever stop, but even more importantly than motivating me to change my body he helped me fix my head !!! I own my past now and no one can hurt me ever again with what I WAS, I just stand there now as what I AM Today , and that matters more.

@Madara Uchiha Ya I lost insane amounts at the start that first 100 ran away on its own, the other 70 took the rest of the time and came off more slowly as I got closer to what I should weigh. In the 8 months since I posted my first comment Ive only lost another 30 bringing me down to 220 which on my frame is a healthy weight as a lot of that is muscle not free fat. The only reason I lost so quickly at the start was I was severely overweight and have a massive bone structure which meant as soon as I got this body moving it started just dropping the fat and converting what weight it did keep into muscle. Without Goggins I would never have taken that first step off the couch, in his book or podcasts somewhere he said " If you are on the couch, your 10% more today is getting UP and moving to the door, get the shoes on, at least WALK a few steps"... I did that, then I did a few more , then a few more etc.

I love listening to this man, I love looking at his face and seeing his intensity, sometimes his sad eyes. You just listen to him and want to up your game straightaway. And I'm a 51 year old woman :-) struggling to do just yoga every day! He is inspirational across age, gender, race and capability

Maynard's Spaceship

I'm 36 and in the best shape of my life due to diet change and yoga! It's not "just yoga", Suzy and Joanna. ;) It's hard, transformational work. It's the martial art you perform against the Self. I avoided surgery and healed my spine with diet and Ashtanga yoga alone; it's a heavy duty healing modality. Even if you manage to get on your mat for 5 minutes a day; it counts, and I've made some huge strides physically simply devoting 5 minutes to a pose in my practice. Don't underestimate yourself; you deserve credit. You're taking steps to change and improve your own life. We exist in a world where most of us have been trained to be apathetic, externalize our power and happiness, and expect instant gratification. Taking the necessary steps to combat that is a big deal. Every time you step on that mat, do what David does and see yourself at the end of your journey; allow that the image to propel you forward! Keep going!!

@Cam Tyler here’s how it’s going now. I’m a filmmaker. Finallyyyyy. I was born in the slums of India. I’ve seen some dark days in life. The main problem throughout was me trying fix everything. Just like whenever a computer gets a bug, you look it up on google and it tells you that you gotta press these buttons to fix this shit. I was in the same mindset. Looking for that button to fix everything. News flash: there isn’t one. I’ve come to terms now with life being difficult sometimes. It’s okay. I don’t have to fix it every time. God helped me a lot throughout this. Faith in him helped me to sign a deal with a small studio in London. I’ve not transitioned into live action filmmaking yet. I’m still making animated films. But hey, guess what, when I tell my 9 year old self that I’m a working filmmaker, he’s gonna have tears of joy. Soon I’m gonna start making live action films too. Currently signed on for a 5 episode tv show with this studio. It all feels so surreal. But I did it. I’m who I wanted to be. Now just gotta become a better version of that. Thanks a lot for everyone’s blessings. Wish nothing but success for all of you lovely people.

David Goggins is motivating not because he was a Navy Seal, ultra athlete, pull-up world record holder, etc. He is motivating because he did not let his circumstances of verbal and physical abuse control him and be a victim. When people say he is crazy or a masichist they do not understand the power that abuse has over a person. So when you hear Goggins speak you are listening to a man that is no longer a victim and is living life in freedom. #stayhard

Every time I listen to or read something from David Goggins, I fight back the tears. His words have touched my soul and inspire me on a level I didn't know existed. Although we come from different families, different races, and different backgrounds, many of his experiences, feelings, and emotions are almost identical to mine!

My wife, my son, and I go out for a family walk every evening. About a week ago, we were out walking, and I was listening to "Goggins." Without realizing it, my adrenaline starting pumping, my feet started moving faster, and my speed picked up to almost a slow jog. The next thing I knew, I looked around and realized my wife and son were about 200 yards behind me! 😅

Thanks, Goggins!

This is one of the best interviews with David Goggins, maybe the best overall. You can feel that they respect each other for their Ultra-Achievements so they can talk eye-to-eye. And Rich is perfectly prepared. The knows the book, he has real questions about the stuff and Davids way of thinking, not that promotion blabla. So David reveals some things he doesn´t reveal in any other interview, the point on self-reward is gold for it really comes short in his book and in most of his other interviews. Really great stuff.

It's been 2 years now, I'm maintaining at around 225 to 219 lbs. Yesterday, I ran 6 miles with a time of 48:30s that morning and I couldn't believe how easy it was at 45. If you go by the BMI scale, I'm 6'5", I'm still considered a little overweight, but I know from participating in all of the PFT's in the military, I'm good. I look forward to pushing myself, mentally, everyday. It's 3:00am, 5/30/2021, I'm up drinking some black coffee, getting ready to go harder than I did yesterday. I don't feel like going, most mornings, but once I'm in it and after I finish, I feel ready to do more. I'll end up going for another run later today, I'm sure of it. Life is good, some ups and downs, but I'm at peace. I received a notification from @marvindsays and had to comment.

I am a shitty runner but I can walk pretty good so I downloaded the audiobook and decided I’d walk the distance of a Marathon in 35+ degree weather in AUS and after approx 9 hours I did all while listening to Goggins. I’d never walked more then 5klm and I did 42klm with no training.

It really is the mind that controls the body and I tested it on this walk and I won.

I’m now training for a Charity event in 2019 to walk/run 24 hours non stop to see how far you can go. I want 100+ kilometres. Thanks Goggins you really have changed my mentality on what’s possible

I hate running. But once I began to enjoy the pain of running, I started to crave it. Eventually my mind started to clear and while I'm running, I'm at my most peaceful. My thoughts are coherent and logical. They are productive. It's the only solace I get before I go to work and deal with chaos day in and day out. When my legs and abs are sore while at rest, I know I did something great. When I leave my house to run and it's dark, and then when I get back to my house and the sun is just coming up, I know I've earned that sunrise and now I can actually start the rest of the day. I still hate running but I like who I am while I'm running.

The part about David saying he needed to raise himself mentally spoke to me on an atomic level. I was broken down as a child as well, in my case it was my mother that would perform the mental warfare and the beating, the games, destroying my father and the gaslighting. I had to protect myself, and the only way I could do that was to grow mentally. And I started that process at 8 years old.
24 now and in the best mental state of my life, but I never forget where I came from.

I fell into a really dark pit with depression and anxiety. I got the audiobook late spring this year and I've been running 4 miles every other day and body weight workout every other since then. I dropped all my medication. It's still dark some days but the hell of a lot better. Getting that audiobook was the best investment I've done.

Vestu

@Nicolaj Hartmann Thanks :) really doing much better these days. I got some therapy, breathwork and meditation practices going which in my case were the really effective components. But Can't Hurt Me got things started. But I stress, if you really need to tackle mental health issues, then just going to exercise and work out is not enough. It's a great start to get momentum and things going and it's very important, continuing component in your recovery and overall health. I hope anyone struggling and reading this knows that you can get up from very, very hopeless hell pits. It can be a long journey but in the end you'll be stronger and wiser and more empathetic towards other people who suffer.

Yeah man I’m 22, been listening since 19 it’s crazy how much I’ve achieved since. From addiction to facing health conditions, getting a good body, performing on stage and much more. If I could I would love to just tell Goggins how much pain he has helped me through and nothing else. Words can not describe what he’s done. Each interview he gives is pure knowledge and a person can limit their screen time off social media apps and just have mostly him playing everyday or whenever they get time and their mind, soul and spirt will evolve at a rapid pace.

I can't think of a better way to start the new year than to listen to Goggins. He reminds us that as a member of the human race, we can push through our limitations because we were designed to do so.

Hey Rich you are a big inspiration. I want to share a shift I have made in my life as it may be valuable to those who are stuck in a position where I used to be. Several years ago I had social anxiety to the point where it severely crippled my life. I had this wish to be confident, outgoing and charismatic yet something was holding me back from being that. I felt like hiding from life which really bothered me because deep down I knew I could do better. After digging deep I realized several things about my situations. Firstly, I was overthinking and overanalysing situations and thus did not take action. Secondly, I tried to get everything right and the perfectionism left me paralysed. Lastly, I avoided failure and making mistakes. As you can imagine living like that is not much fun. So here is what I did to overcome it. Every day, and when I mean every day, I mean EVERY SINGLE DAY, without exception I have done/ am doing three things outside my comfort zone. At the end of the day I write about what went well and what I learned. The growth I have made and the experiences I have had are so mind-blowing that my past self would not have believed it even when you told him. Several years ago I struggled to ask a girl for the time and now I am blindfolding my date with my scarf as we are walking through the forest and passionately kissing her. My mission is to help those guys who want to improve their self confidence and make a permanent shift in their lives. It is possible and requires a willingness to take action and consistency.

One of my great disappointments was when the internet turned out not to be the knowledge-sharing medium I'd envisioned it to be as a child. Rich Roll is a spark of hope after all these years, especially given the staggering numbers of views his 'cast gets.

Thanks for watching, sincerely.

This is the most important message I’ve ever received. Finally, someone who I can relate to. It might not seem apparent based on who I am, but internally I totally understand DG. I am also an Aquarian loner, introvert, teacher working in public schools in rural Western NY. He is the only person I’ve ever come across who totally understands true personal growth and the tools to achieve and accomplish goals.

Can’t hurt me is the most meaningful book I’ve ever read. I’m on my 5th read through in 3 years each time I take my time and try my best to get something new out of it. The last 3 years I’ve ran a half marathon went skydiving climbed pikes peak and have quit all substance abuse however I dove head first right back into a life of drugs and fornication and laziness and have picked myself back up out of it once again and am back where I was mentally 3 years ago because of David. Life comes at you, limit your variables.

Damn straight. Grew up without decent parents, who are now both dead, grew up doing drugs with friends - who one time broke into my sqaut and trashed everything I owned, then didn't have the balls to tell me they did it. So many mental health issues and confidence issues. So many horrible people out there.

Rich. I want you to know how grateful I am for your program. I love your style and sincerity that you demonstrate through your interviews. I enjoyed your Goggins pod cast. I suffered from alcohol and drug abuse from the age of 13. It took the better part of 22 years to finally tap into a source that helped me overcome this disease one day at a time. Goggins story really resonated with me. I didn't know it at the time but looking back I was in a fight for my life. I thank God everyday that he helped me save myself. I have a real desire to get in touch with you and pick your brain!!! Rich, please keep up the great work that you are doing. You are helping many many people by the work you do. God bless you Rich Roll.

Really wish I could've find out about David earlier. I'm now 33 and going to battle with myself everyday. Doing shit I don't like, get shit done right away instead of later. Still a work in progress. To be continue.

Rich Roll, David Goggins and Wim Hoff. The mentors I never had. As real as it can get. Legendary pioneers. Humble and down to Earth. A-star celebs can only dream of having one percent of their authenticity talent and influence. These 3 are doing Gods work if there is any. I try to support them as much as possible so they can keep on making the Earth a better place. True 21st century heroes.

Rich Roll is the BEST interviewer I have heard. It's not just a pingpong question and answer session..the way he connects, and guides and reflects...he gets so much more out of this interaction for us. And as a result we get 1000% of Goggins.

Sheila Camacho

@audreydrewpaul I too liked the Joe Rogan interview. He gets a diff vibe out of David. I prefer Rich's style, ever so slightly. Both are excellent.
Just relistened to the entire audio book w the extra tidbits by David in between each chapter.

audreydrewpaul

Joe Rogan did a good job too, he actually listens and let David speak for a whole 11 minutes, thus, the best David Goggins podcast for me personally. But i like all podcasts and interviews about him out there. Stay hard, everybody!

The way he spoke about his father it was like he was talking to me because I had the same situation as him growing up and I know exactly how the man feels it’s so difficult being in that position And when he said he used it like fuel I did the same thing ever since I was 17 but your truly never get over the pain of going through that that’s why he keeps going that’s why he never stops because you can’t or at least we can’t

This was my life too. A severely abusive childhood you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy that resulted in a lifetime of PTSD and trust issues. A constant struggle to be better while fighting low self-worth and abject poverty - my success was through academia and gaining Master's degrees, instead of challenging myself physically. Maybe it's time to refocus the lens, what a great inspiration David Goggins is.

Susan Arias

It's called resiliency and it's a characteristic we are born with and Goggins cultivated what was already inside of himself. Not just anyone can do that. He is extraordinary.

Michelle Eis

I think what people don’t understand about those of us that came from abusive childhoods - we don’t know how to smile or be happy - he’s right it gets beat out of you! It was years into adulthood before I developed a sense of humor, a smile, Etc. Excellent interview.

Listing to him tell his story I was drawing up in my mind the similar hells I've been through as a kid grown up. lots of foster homes due to my mom mental illness, an abusive step father in high school and so on. I wanted to go into the military after high school but was talked out of it by my uncle. In all I found David Goggins story very inspiring. I'm working on shifting my mind like I've never done before. 2019 is here, new tactics, new mission. Roger that.

Listening to this again. Taking it in, not trying to be a he-man but taking it as inspiration. So easy for me to get carried away with Goggins, forget parts if myself. Can be a good thing, trying to be someone else, as long as i am aware of what is happening. I read the book a few years ago and started running longer and faster than ever before. Taking up that again now after divorce. Last long run i did (30k) i was in meditation almost the entire run, fokusing on my breath, not on the body. That is my path now, running here and now. That is what will enable me to run further - my level of awareness. Not the body. Thank you

Hey Rich Roll...I have watched 90% of your podcasts throughout 2022...and I am floored listening to your guest today. As a woman of African ancestry, it pleased me to see that you are bringing guests of different ethnic backgrounds. I truly hope that one day you and your team will be able to bring Dr. Iris Davis onto your platform. I watched her interview with NYC TV Life ( Brooklyn Savvy) and I said to myself, how beautiful it will be for this individual to share her knowledge with your audience. I believe you both think outside the box and her energy will bring a different dimension to your platform. Not to mention another group of listeners...it's a drop in a big ocean...but I figured I will put it out there into your universe and see what happens.

I read endlessly and this was my first audiobook. It was brilliant because I can workout while listening but also because there are interludes throughout the reading that are not in the book. There are also chapter recaps at the end of each chapter. However, I'll probably buy the book as well.
