Paul Rosolie

Everyone else was going, that was a waste of my fucking time.

So

I was on the street and people would be like, yo, fuck you, Paul Rosen.

See, that's the thing.

That's the important lesson is that at the time I thought it was game over completely.

There's so many times I thought it was game over, whether it's almost dying in the Amazon or this, but this I went, man, I picked my head up and tried to get my message out to the world and got smacked down so hard.

I just went, you know what?

It's fine.

I'll be the guy that lives in the jungle and I'm just going to keep doing what I love and hanging out with the animals.

And this was so bad that I went to India for months and started living with the elephants, which was actually turned out to be a really good thing.

And so, you know, you hear people talking about how, like, if you want to succeed, like you better start loving to fail.

And it's like, you're like, what does that mean?

David Goggins?

What that means is, is if you survive enough of those, like now, thank God that happened.

You know, it builds character.

It makes you more shrewd and deals.

And then you realize just like on an expedition, you know,

when in the old days, we'd go five days up a river and the motor would break.

And the first few expeditions, I'd be like, oh shit, man, this isn't going according to plan.

I wanted to get to here and then cross over to there.
