Can't Hurt Me Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

or someone who was also born into this terrible situation like that and you can listen to his story and read his, or listen to his audio book which is fantastic.

Read his book and understand there's people like him that used to be like me.

Like I read the Goggins book and great fucking book. Yeah. And life that dude had huh?

It's sad life. But then on the flip side, inspiring to a guy like myself where I'm running, I'm running, say I'm working out.

So yeah, I mean, I'm just now starting to get into a little bit more books than I have in the past.

I mean, just think about that kind.

There's a part in a book, I think he went to support his mother, sister and a race and then in Las Vegas and then I think he just took off and left, like he was there for them.

That stepbook is really good. It's called Can't Hurt Me.

Your book is fucking fantastic, man. This has been my running partner. The audio version of it has been my running partner for the last week.

But the audiobook is really interesting, right? Because you and the gentleman you wrote it with... Adam Skolnick reads it.

The book is outstanding and you know, it's more than just sitting across you and you telling your story--it's a detailed history of how you became the person you are.

One of the reasons why this book is so good is because you're so honest about your vulnerabilities and how you overcome them.

What people read in this book Can't Hurt Me--it's a sad, horrible story. It made me who I am today.

He put this lab rat which is me on this planet.

So to do that friction, you don't wake up in the morning time and go to the coffee maker. In fact, sometimes I even sleep.

And if people can learn to focus, this was possible while it may not be pretty like people want to do a documentary on me.

I go no, I want you to do a documentary on me because I will have normal everyday people picking me apart on his life is miserable. Who wants to live like that? He looks it's crazy how he someone's like he's sick. He's psychotic.

Yeah, all these things for me like I told you, I'm going to keep it real. I'm not coming here to talk about like you know, perform without purpose.

I don't know if you're familiar with David Goggins, author of Can't Hurt Me.

We had David Goggins on this podcast, David, author of Can't Hurt Me, and famed for doing hard things all day long. He told a story about running 16 miles to the airport and how he literally ran to the airport with his luggage.

You have to listen to his audiobook.

If you don't know his story, it's freaking incredible.

I read Goggins book your nookies are gonna go straight in your ass

I read Goggins book your nookies are gonna go straight in your ass It's very cold to stay in there for like yeah

David goggins his knees. He grew up in fucking indiana, dude He was the only white kid in school. He went he dude his story's fucked up.

He was getting like legitimately tortured for what

He was like beneath. It was just bullshit, dude

He was on the bus And a little kid ran out with like a tray of cookies to bring to the bus driver The bus driver didn't see him and ran his head over And fucking and goggins got off.

Open his textbook and get notes of people being like we're gonna fucking kill you like hitting them with like hard ends Went to the principal to report it. The principal's like they didn't spell it right though

And today we're going to dive into his new book, which is called Can't Hurt Me about mastering your mind and defying the odds.

I've had a beautiful fortune of actually diving into this book this weekend.

So in that book, it's a raw, very humbling version of David Goggins.

I went down to the grassroots, to the soil, to the sewer of my life.

It's the stuff that we don't want to talk about. It's the stuff that we don't want that person next to you in line knowing.

I went down to the grassroots, to the soil, to the sewer of my life.

It's the stuff that we don't want that person next to you in line knowing.

And I had to have the courage to say it out loud to people.

The only way we can go forward is to go all the way back.

The only way you're going to fix yourself is to go all the way back to the beginning, to your childhood, because that's where everything starts.

There is a muse but he's not going to come fluttering down into your writing room he lives in the ground he's a basement guy you have to descend to his level

Just kind of like when I was in the gym struggling I got to remember that he would run like 100 miles on like broken key and stuff.

I first started coming out to Vegas to write my book the odds about these guys who've been on sports for a living.

I was writing the book, The Odds. And I was in Vegas every single week and watching bookmakers try to adjust as fast as they can.
