Moonshots Podcast: Learning Out Loud

David Goggins is back with "Never Finished", so we wanted to share our studies of the "toughest man alive". David Goggins is a former Navy SEAL and endurance athlete who set the world record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours.

On June 5, 2013, Goggins completed 4,030 pull-ups in 17 hours, breaking the previous record of 3,737. Goggins completed the feat at the Navy SEAL Training Center in Coronado, California, and the event was supervised by officials from the Guinness World Records.

We study how Goggins broke teh world record and we ask habbits and ideas can we adopt from this world record feat.

Show Notes

Between the training and three attempts, Goggins did more than 67,000 pull-ups in nine months. But more than his physical endurance Goggins showcased the power of repetition. 
  • He tried three times to accomplish this goal 
  • Learning from each attempt 
  • Never accepting he couldn’t meet the challenge 
  • Not listening to the negative comments - that he didn’t have the physical strength to do it
Four pull-ups an hour doesn’t seem like much. Over time, it becomes increasingly more challenging to the muscles, but increasingly more empowering to the mind.

Small numbers grow through consistent repetition. Small numbers are boring and don’t seem useful in the grand scheme. But small numbers are a necessary step before getting to the large numbers.
