083: Lessons from David Goggins and Beyond with Drew Rossell

What does it take to develop unwavering discipline and mental toughness?

In this episode, my brother Drew and I have a conversation about how David Goggins’ Never Finished impacted our lives. Goggins might not be your typical athlete, but his mindset is right up there with legends like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.

Drew talks about his journey toward consistency, especially in running, and the lessons on resilience and dedication that apply to anyone, no matter where you’re coming from.

Personal growth starts with small, intentional steps that help build mental toughness over time. We focus on how routines can turn hard things into habits, using running as a metaphor for tackling life’s bigger challenges.

Goggins and Bryant both inspire us to keep pushing for improvement, and we share some of the ways we’ve stayed motivated and mentally strong through setbacks. We also touch on the balance between chasing big goals and staying grounded in personal growth.

Failure and setbacks are part of the deal, but what really matters is how we respond to them. We share some personal stories about hitting low points and the importance of seeing those moments as chances to learn and grow.

In the end, it’s all about hard work, honesty, and staying true to your values—because that’s how you build confidence and live a more balanced life.
