Goggins is known for his resilience, determination, and ability to push beyond perceived limits.

Goggins' journey from a struggling, overweight young man to a Navy SEAL and ultra-marathon runner is a testament to the power of the human spirit. His transformation began when he was 23/24 years old, weighing almost 300 pounds and working as a pest control worker. After watching a TV show about Navy SEALs, he decided to face his fears and start training for the SEALs. He is the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training (including two Hell Weeks), the U.S. Army Ranger School (where he graduated as Enlisted Honor Man), and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training. Additionally, he has competed in over sixty ultra-marathons, triathlons, and ultra-triathlons, setting new course records and regularly placing in the top five.

His philosophy includes the "40% Rule," which suggests that most people only tap into 40% of their capabilities. He emphasizes the importance of mental toughness and overcoming self-doubt to achieve one's goals.
