Summary
I used to look back and wonder why I was put through so many challenges in my life.
Adoption.
Abuse,
Abandonment.
Drugs.
Jail.
Divorce.
Heartbreak after heartbreak.
I used to get tired of being the whipping post in life, but as I grew, built businesses, created a family, I came to realize that I can let my pain hold me down or use it to power me through to the next phase of my life.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the rewire podcast. |
| 0:02.0 | I'm your host, Ryan Stumann, and I'm here to rewire your mind for success. |
| 0:07.0 | You were put on this planet for success. |
| 0:10.0 | You were created to succeed, but the force of average is after you every single day, my brothers and sisters. |
| 0:16.0 | And this podcast is the one thing that's designed to help you fight the force of average and excel in every |
| 0:22.1 | area of your life. We're glad that you're here. In 2017, I met David Gagins. He wasn't on |
| 0:28.9 | internet yet. He didn't have a book yet. He was just Gagins. And I was fortunate enough to talk |
| 0:33.8 | to him on a regular basis. And one thing I noticed about him that separates him from |
| 0:37.6 | every other man I've ever met in my life. And I've met some powerful people. I'm friends with |
| 0:41.7 | UFC champions. I'm friends with very, very powerful people more powerful than our government. |
| 0:47.9 | I have friends that are like that. So I've met some amazing people in my life. And David is an |

| 1:02.3 | but once David taught me certain things, it allowed me to really take this to the next level. |
| 1:07.6 | You see, as human beings, we all have some level of pain. When I'm not talking about being |
| 1:12.6 | 45 and your back hurting or your arthritis, I'm talking about we have emotional pain. For me, |
| 1:18.5 | it was my dad leaving, my stepdad abusing me, prison, drug addiction. These are painful points |
| 1:24.5 | in my life that I went through. I'm grateful for them, but they were painful |
| 1:28.0 | points in my life. But what makes Gagins such an exceptional human is his ability to convert pain |
| 1:34.7 | to power. You see, Gagins had so much pain, disdain, and hate for himself that he lost the weight, |
| 1:41.6 | forced his body to run 100 mile tracks without practicing. |
| 1:45.2 | All the stories that you've heard that are true. |
