After experiencing loss, I realized that sharing my personal story publicly helped alleviate my sense of isolation and encouraged others to connect with me.

I don't want to be judged by people who don't understand the sacrifices I've made. My journey is not about seeking approval; it's about showing others what is possible through hard work and dedication.

I want to teach people about the harsh realities of life, not just the good side that social media often portrays. Most of us face struggles, and I aim to highlight that truth. I don't want to hide anymore; I hid it for 24 years, and now I want to be vulnerable because that's the only way to fix yourself.

People love to lie about who they're not, and that's why I choose to be vulnerable and honest about my life experiences.

I look for founders who can share their background and story, as it often reveals their grit and determination.

I want to own a hundred percent of the suffering I went through in my life, and I don't want anyone telling me I can't share my story.

Being honest and upfront came from finally figuring out who I was and conquering my inner demons, allowing me to be an open book.

It's important to recognize that every founder faces challenges, and being open about those struggles can help build a supportive community where everyone can share their experiences.

The truth is that everything I've achieved comes from hard work and a commitment to being real, without lies or pretenses. I go right back to ground zero, which means I'm just David Goggins, and that's where my growth is and my willpower comes from.
