Motivation Is Dead. Do This Instead.

June 19, 2025

Welcome to Nacho Fitness Coach! Sarah, the not-so-typical fitness expert, and Caleigh, the not-your-average fitness beginner, dive into the real truth behind motivation, what actually keeps you going, and how the intense energy of David Goggins surprisingly fits into it all.


🔥 Key Highlights from the Episode:

  • Who is David Goggins? (And why Caleigh had never heard of him!)
  • The viral “Who’s gonna carry the boats?” moment—explained.
  • Why motivation is unreliable—and what really works instead.
  • Lessons from past podcast guests who flipped the switch and just started.
  • Why “discipline > motivation” is the new rule for real results.
  • Practical tips to break excuses and finally take ownership of your fitness.


🧠 What You’ll Learn:

  • Motivation isn’t the magic key—consistency, discipline, and decision-making are.
  • You don’t need to start big—start early (literally: morning workouts win).
  • Excuses vs. priorities: it’s not “I can’t,” it’s “I’m choosing not to.”
  • The moment you take accountability is the moment change really starts.


🎯 Real Talk Moments:

  • “I don’t like the word motivation anymore. I left that in 2023.”
  • “You’re not broken—you’re just not decided.”
  • “Stop saying I can’t. You’re capable. Period.”
  • “If David Goggins can run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours… we can at least get up 30 minutes earlier.”


🎧 Special Mentions:

  • David Goggins: Retired Navy SEAL, ultra-athlete, and living engine of intensity.
  • The Huberman Lab Podcast episode with Goggins on trauma and inner drive.
  • Built by FitPod guests who proved it’s all about starting, not being perfect


Final Takeaway:

You don’t need to find motivation—you need to decide. Flip the switch. Take one step. And if you need a little voice in your ear to fire you up? Let David Goggins yell “You don’t know me, son!” while you get after it.
