PNTV: Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins (#416)
You Are Heroic with Brian Johnson
The Process of Becoming Your Best Self
Bry: The process of becoming your best self is like a seed bursting from within itself. You're willing to do the hard work that doesn't feel good in the moment, because that's how you're going to burst through the seed that is your potential and become that which you're destined to be. David goggins: What's the number one idea you got out of our chat to day? How do you move from theory to practice to mastery? On a little b more. Look ford to showing more with you soon.

Here are 5 of my favorite Big Ideas from Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins. Hope you enjoy! David Goggins is a former Navy SEAL (and Army Ranger) who used to hold a Guinness World Record for completing 4,030 pull-ups in 17 hours. These days he's setting records as an ultra-endurance athlete. But he wasn't always Mr. Superhero. In this great autobiographical self-help book, David walks us through his transformation from being a 297-pound exterminator to a "Who IS this guy?!" superhero. If you're into SUPER (!!!) intense demonstrations of how to conquer ourselves to do the seemingly impossible (and don't mind a stream of f-bombs—lol) then I think you'll love this book as much as I did. Big Ideas we explore include: The Accountability Mirror, bringing your best (when you feel the worst), hero callouses (let failures toughen you up!), the process (how to go from running 1/4 of a mile to 200+ nonstop), and bursting from the inside out (learn to endure!).
