I Built a Digital David Goggins That Yells at Me When I'm Lazy

What if you could talk to your favorite motivator whenever life gets hard?

“I don’t want to work today at all. I feel like crap.”

I opened NotebookLM on my computer and pasted it. New year, new resolution! Nope, I just wanted to sit all day, but then David Goggins responds like this.

This is Goggins, his philosophy, his tone, his no-BS approach responding to my specific excuse in real-time.

I built this, and if you saw this post, that means I could write it after his motivation.

And now I’m going to show you exactly how.

Why I Needed This

We all have that person.

The one whose words cut through our BS. The one who somehow says exactly what we need to hear when we’re about to quit.

For me, it’s David Goggins. For you, it might be:

  • Marcus Aurelius

  • Jocko Willink

  • Jordan Peterson

  • Your grandma, who survived a war

The problem? They’re not available at 3 AM when your brain is spiraling.

So I made them available.
