You should of researched this man better as what’s being said about and backed up about him in the SEAL community at the moment is not good.
@@jackiekinner3826 , what has been said?
@@AllensStories That he’s a bully and when on missions endangered Soldiers lives with bad leadership.
Interview Eric Deming. Don’t be fooled by jocko. He has a lot of innocent blood on his hands 🩸 🇺🇸 🩸 🩸🩸

I listened to this yesterday. This morning, I dragged myself out of bed at 6am. I walked/jogged 5km, for the first time in 2 years. 2 years of mental and physical health issues that I thought were never going to end.
I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for sharing
@barkerboy0308 💪💪💪
Lets go brother!!
Keep it up, you got this!
I hope you continue to push yourself and overcome the things that kept you from longing life to the fullest. You deserve a beautiful life
I love that Steven uses silence so brilliantly which allows his guests the space to reflect more, talk more and share more.
Its what amazing interviewers do, they dont but in, they listen and leave silence to make the guest start reflecting and word vomitting. louis theroux does it too, very well.
He's a natural at this.
Yes that’s one of his gifts. His trademark I want to believe. That space speaks so much. You learn soooo much after those pauses 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yep Rick Beato does this pretty well too
I was thinking the same thing. It also reflects his understanding.
That amount of emotional intelligence, self awareness, gratitude, humility, respect, logic and appreciation this man displayed in this interview just wow!
Wow, even the JIDF bots are coming to this army recruiting video. You people are literally the sickest on earth.
Yes!
You sound like a beta smh 🤦
He is one of the best of us.. huge respect
Very impressed
"Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you ever wanted...if you let them" 🔥🔥🔥
Uff. That cut deep.
So true also being afraid will destroy you too.
No! I don t. Because of these suckers and their admirers in the self-proclaimed value-based West, the chosen ones are backed to slaughter an entire nation, bomb the embassies of other states, .... the us can wage proxy wars against other nuclear powers (over 100 interventions since 1991) , etc. etc. . Because these fools can't think for themselves. They can t distinguish between propaganda and the truth. Ask the Cia-agent wether I m right.

Cadets at West Point are trained to say, “No excuse, sir.” (Even if there may be a valid excuse.)
Listening to jocko talking about not letting your feelings rule your emotions really hits home for me as I lost my wife a year and 3 months ago on the 23rd. I’ve been off the rails with my drinking and I needed to hear this to help me move forward. I started a no drinking during the week program and today will be day 4 of not drinking during the week. This helped me solidify that I will not drink during the week and maybe expand on it.
Good for you mate, keep going with it
Brilliant man, good for you, keep going, you can do it, I think you’ll slowly feel better and better
🎉congratulations! You are going in the right direction. Counseling helps to manage cravings and triggers.
Good for you, baby steps 👍🏻

Hey. I only sleep 2 hours a day.... 🫦
Hi Steven, I’m a 64 yr old woman and I started following your TH-cam afew weeks back. As I listened to this podcast I cried! This man Jocko Willink told my life story!!! I feel despair and great sadness as I listen because he is speaking the truth about discipline and lack of it. Everything he said was so truthful right to the core of my being!!!! I’m not sure how or what I can change but I’m going to change my life! Thank you for having such a tremendous influence on TH-cam 🙏🏽
Start by walking out to your mailbox and back every day if you can. ❤
This is one of the best 2hrs of life advices/lessons in life
Wow, that ending was so powerful. The silence speaks volume of what Jocko has gone through and continues to carry with him through life. And i think that's one of the most important lessons he tries to teach: life won't be easy, but you have to keep pushing. Not just for your sake and the sake of those you love around you, but for the ones that have sacrificed and fallen who will never get the opportunity to. Truly powerful.
Jocko is a national treasure. Anyone humble enough to learn from them will grow and excel.
I needed to hear this.. lost my fiance / father of my kids, and two of my best friends back to back In a short amount of time . Loved his humble response on grief . his words were so comforting. “ Remember but dont dwell “
Sendinggg✨and🙏 during this unfathomably difficult time🫶
"thank you" two words that ment so much. that last bit was powerful
Why did I cry so much at the end when he spoke about his wife taking up the slack. And when he mentioned the brothers he lost. I totally lost it. Thanks for a great episode. 🙏🙏🙏
Same
Weak.
Same. Because I know from his podcasts exactly who those SEALs were to him. God he’s such a fucking good human.
It's really interesting hearing him speak from this perspective, because he's addressing people who shift blame by making excuses, whereas I'm used to hearing the perspective of people who come from a background of childhood trauma where their default is "Everything is my fault," who have the opposite trajectory in that they have to come to understand that they are not responsible for someone else's mistakes. Watching this it's clear he is able to identify his emotions and patterns (especially when talking about pattern recognition after multiple friends were killed), whereas someone with childhood trauma, specifically emotional neglect, often can't actually identify their emotions, much less notice patterns, without specific, focused work and awareness.
I like seeing someone who, according to the beginning of the interview, did NOT face adversity in childhood talk about how he processes these things. I also appreciate so, so much that despite the horrors he saw, he does not put trauma on a hierarchy, but rather respects the subjective nature of the experiences that have a deep effect on people.
I'm 68. female, train at 4 am and still train bodybuilding style. I used to weigh 110 as a teen. Now 125, 5 feet and buff. No it doesn't just happen. This sets the pace. I challenge myself for two hours. Loving calisthenics and boxing, just added those two things and I have rediscovered the "monkey bars". I quit being self-conscious. I have earned my place at the playground! My attire is a simple pinkish plaid with tights or sweats. No, I don't show my stuff. I'm not competing like that. But I know I'm one of the strongest women in my gym. The kids just move out of the way. I'm not snobby either, they just move. It feels good to not be on medication or need help getting up. I am so grateful. Reduced anxiety? I feel good about myself. The anxiety, I have learned, is outside of me. Breath it out. Oh and stay hydrated. It really does make a difference too.

This is really empowering 😮🎉❤
Great to hear!
Example
Jesus, I freaking love this guy. I served in the NAVY! and what it would take to literally grow up in the SEAL teams? that is unmistakably one of the most difficult things that a person can do. I can only imagine how great and difficult his life would have been simultaneously. I find it so amazing that he is both steadfast in his strengths and empathetic. Thank you for this conversation Steven.
😊
This is the only podcast channel i find educational and worth watching.
The episode was absolutely incredible, especially the last 10 minutes. You can see the raw emotion and honest truth in everything he values.
Its hard to think about my childs mother after she passed a couple o' years ago. This man helped me with my perspective on grief.
Think of how proud of you she must be for carrying on and being there for your child. That is the true test of a man. Carrying on when the going gets tough for the ones we love.
I’m not to that part in this video yet, but in case this helps, I’ll leave it here.
I once heard someone ask- would your loved one want you to grieve for years and years, and be a mess, letting yourself fall to pieces or would they be rooting for you to *live* your life full bore - to the fullest?
Your child's mother? Was that all she was?
Love Jocko. Says it just like it is. No BS. No political correctness just because he's scared of being cancelled (he's definitely not!). 👍🏼 We need more people like Jocko!
Look up the Green Beret Chronicles. God Bless.
He is a lying criminal. Check it out for yourself.
just like budlight getting canceled , no fs given
@@1Deejay7 Who gives a toss about Bud`s. Good Ole` Boys drink Miller. You know that as well as I do. Jocko is a lying scumbag.
@@ChiefThanos Hear, hear. The truth is slowly emerging. it will catch up to you Jocko.
Episode saved directly to my "Be Better w the Greats" TH-cam folder 🥇
Man, I have bought so many of his books and read them all and even gave his children books as gifts to my friends children. This podcast is greatest podcast about life, family, and leadership. Thank you Jocko!
Grief will be with you always and its accumulative, bcos u live ur life its inevitable to lose ppl. I always believe that you learn to live alongside your grief. But it never truly goes away. That's because you loved someone and that's beautiful. ❤
Yes! Live with the grief in a positive manner. Acknowledge the pain and accept it. But then redirect and live your life ❤
This guy is pure fire and steel. I love his advice, very inspiring.
Wow, this gem is one of your best interviews in my opinion. Ive listened to many Jocko interviews and this is my favorite. Your genuine sensitivity brought out the best. Masterpiece
I like this man, he has this ''old school'' raw manly energy, if I can say so.
Strong values and a behaviour in line with them, no BS and straightforward mindset.
I have been following DOAC from the first episode, I have never commented before, I’ve watched tons and tons of guys but this interview stood out so much. Very importantly because Steven was very honest about how little he know about Jocko’s life and what he might have been through as a seal. Which enabled him ask the seemingly dumb questions which are really the questions most of us would have had in our minds but maybe too shy to ask. Thank you for this episode! Everything about it is perfect!
Whenever I have a tough job to do, I listen to Jocko's collaboration with Akira the Don, "Get Some", and get the job done, every time 💯
I also listen to Akira the Don
The vulnerability of Jocko at the end made this whole conversation even better. Thanks Steven, and thank you Jocko for helping young men create their definition of what means to be a man in today’s world. It’s a manheim out there
Wow Steve! You’re interviewing style in this one was so good in how you created space and time for him to answer. It kept me hanging on for each answer and gave me time to digest each answer he gave! A truly remarkable , thoughtful and insightful man with absolute gems of wisdom! Just WOW.
Jocko’s jewels of knowledge are so simple yet profound. No over complicating, no wordy language just get it done.
Making Jacko cry is like unlocking a bonus level
He is really crying for all the innocent people he and his team mates killed. Don’t be fooled. He is a psychopath 🇺🇸
And yet he readily caused himself to cry.....well...tear up at least.😂
I mean, if you've heard Jocko's own podcast enough, you'll know he has been close to tears a few times. And in the Jonny Kim episode (where they also talk about Mike Monsoor and Marc Lee) he was practically sobbing
@@amitabhsharma3916- please don't start a sentence with "I mean". Just say what you mean.
I SWEAR DOWN
This was brilliant....well done guys
Early mornings are often quieter, with fewer distractions.
There are too many wow and goosebumps moments from this episode.
Hit me real hard on many levels.
Steve did a marvellous job in pacing the whole interview.
Don't often comment but wow jocko, listen to him regularly and crazy to have his perspective on life on your platform, honestly thank you
GOD Bless Jocko Man and all who serve and have served. ❤
Murders
Disgusting
I think Jocko is the epitome of a real man. He’s on the hero’s journey and seems to be cut from a different cloth, although he would just say he’s an ordinary man with discipline.
This was one of the best interviews I've ever seen. On both sides. Jocko has changed my life 180 degrees, and his words mean a lot to me, but this was a whole new experience. I need to watch it again.
One of the best interviews so far, brilliant work!
Jocko is the most practical, pragmatic and grounded person I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to.
@TheDiaryOfACEO your podcasts are simply fantastic. Thank you!
That “thank you” in the end !!Had so much emotion.
It's special when we get an interview like this. I listen to a lot of different podcasts, interviews, speeches, etc. Every now and then, you get one that is just amazing. When you are totally engrossed for hours. Thanks you guys!
Reminds me of my college experience. Advisor said, "my goal is to make you cry. I want to see if you'll push through when the work world kicks you in the face." 80% dropped out. The world isn't scary to me because of that man.
Jocko an absolute legend! thank you for brining him on the show
This is hands down one of the best podcast episodes I have ever listened to anywhere. The pure raw intensity of the emotions in the last 10 mins had tears rolling down my cheeks. Brilliant work, look forward to the question by Jocko in the next one !
This is arguably one of the best podcasts I’ve watched and listened to. Just to see how Jocko handles his emotions in-front of you with such control by simply stopping and reflecting. I learned a lot from this and will try to do better each day as that’s all any of us can do.
This was something I needed to watch for myself and I’m glad I did. Thank you
Amazing interview, soo many nugget ! 👏 . One of the best interviews Jocko and DOAC have delivered so far... 👏
As a 25-year-old woman listening from a small town in India, thank you…this was, hands down, your best episode. Always wished I had someone like Jocko as a mentor/parental figure in my life, so grateful that I get free access to this. 🙏
I started gym again and started to see results super fast. Then something happened. ExcuseS came, diet fell. ... sliding back to having beer, bread.....I needed to hear this.
Do you mean that everything I see in my life is MY FAULT?
Yes.
Now go fix it.
I am going to work my ass off to get myself where I want.
THANK YOU!!!!!
People want to know what goes through a genius mind.
Imagine what goes on in a soldier of war mind…
Brutal.
Thank you infinitely for your service.
Hell yeah Jocko! Love seeing this combo
Steven. Your podcast style goes so deep. You have become my favorite person to listen to to bring out the best of each person you interview. Thank you for sharing this and giving Jacko space to share his story and insite.
It’s refreshing to hear a man say humble yourself first! There are so many people that believe showing vulnerability is bad.
Wisdom, value. I just sent it to my son. Thank you both!
Great podcast It’s honestly one great moment after another, most podcast can’t even fit in 3 great moment. Congrats Stephen 🎉
I love Jacko! He has helped me grow so much and I learn something new about myself each time. Thank you for this interview
Im a 25 yo woman who has lost her bff last december, ive heard the news 1 month later, i was waiting for her texts cuz we were talking a lot and coudnt wait to see each other during christmas or summer and basically i wrote on my card thank you for everything. Thank you for you. Ill never thank you enough for everything you brought in my life. Hearing him say thank you for everything made me cry because i understand this so much. I never met someone like her and i know sadly how unique she is. I cant believe i have to live those next years without being able to reach out to her and talk to her. Even tho i do everyday
If you ever need a definition of humility and compassion 34.5 minute mark. For a man that's gone through literal hell, what a humble and compassionate perspective Jocko has.
I didn't think I could respect him anymore, but he keeps proving me wrong
Maybe look at the pinned comment and read a post on there. This is not a good dude.
@STST I've followed Jocko for many years, he's been pretty much him all throughout, nothing fake. Same thing happened with David Goggins. Envy and ego are an insidious thing
Wowww Ohhh WOWWW😲 THISSS was SOOO SOOO POWERFFUL🥹 I’ve been an admirer of Sir Jocko’s books and work and I am JUSTTT BLOWN AWAYYY by this interview of his!! Woww Steven!! THEEE wayyy YOU SO INCREDIBLY and brilliantly got into some of his experiences around loss had meee😭 I just lost my MOSTTT BELOVED Sister and besttt friend so hearing Sir Jocko’s take on grief and sadness and of emotions gave me GREATTT comfort for the years ahead when I get “hit” with the OVERWHELMING and INEVITABLE waves that DO in FACT occur when someone SO SIGNIFICANT in your life is no longer here!!
Againnn…BRILLIANT and BRAVOOO to YOU BOTHHH👏👏👏
Anddd OHHH SOOO GRATEFUL🙏
Probably one of the best interviews I've seen on this channel. Well done.
Those moments of silence were gold! It allowed for deep thinking and emotions were everything! Steven you are amazing at what you do! ❤️
Wow progress, initial viewing, intensity, knowledge, wanting to know more, yous have nailed this one, behind the ceo makes sense, well done team ❤️
Look up Eric Deming, he knows a lot more of who jocko really is. The truth will soon come out . Kyle rotz
This man's comprehensive explanation of grief was next level & the 'remember don't dwell' was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks guys 🙏🏼💙
This is the best interview I have watched in this channel so far! I have watched many valuable episodes, but this one speaks so deep about so many things and it is so encouraging, strong, but also humble and human. Thank you Steve for bringing this guy into the show! You have paid for my subscription with this episode, as you promised! ❤🎉great work!
Jocko is the man! Been following him on social media and Podcast for years! Loved, " remember don't dwell"
Amazing topic ❤
This is by far the best guest speaker you've had on this podcast, along with Jimmy Carr. They both speak sense to me, in my opinion.
Dr. K's and Tim Dillon's interview were pretty good too, both on different levels though. Hard to compare.
All I can say is wow. I'm a 27 year old girl, I learnt and took so much from this podcast. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge Jocko, thank you Steven for giving us this space.
The collab of 2 of my favorite podcasters is exactly what I needed
52:50 "if i take the time to know everything, everything will have changed" i need that tattooed on the inside of my eyelids
Favourite podcast!
Steven, I think this is the best one yet. I was deeply touched by Jocko's story, and you are becoming even more skilled as an interviewer. Well done. I'll be sharing this with my 3 children.
I've learned so much from Jocko over the years-from his books and podcasts. He relentlessly puts the ball back in YOUR court and I love him for that. And it sucks. And it hurts. But you know it's the RIGHT thing to do; the only way forward. Remember, don't dwell. Embrace the emotions but don't let them embrace you. Regrets are worthless unless you learn from them. Onward! 🇺🇸
long have i awaited this moment
Jocko and cris Kyle have a lot of innocent blood on their hands. Don’t be fooled
@@soldieron9965bro, what soldier doesn't? It's war. War never changes.
@MelFlagg Right. It's like people don't understand what war is in 2024. In most cases both sides are fighting with innocent people...
@@soldieron9965 I do not need to like someone to learn from them. this is something almost nobody understands in 2024.
*urgently watches through the first minute long teaser to see if Steven manages to ask the one question that makes Jocko cry* 😱
I love Jocko Willink! As a woman he’s always been one of my favorites to listen too- he got me thru some hard times. His book about discipline and extreme ownership changed my life. Great interview….where I am today from 10 years ago blows my mind!
This is great, Jocko regularly mentions cases and stories from Steven's book, clear that he read it. Great podcast.
Phwoar Jocko Willink! What a guest
This guy is real. Big him up 🎉
Another fabulous interview. You are fast becoming one of the very best interviewers. You do the research, listen to your guests without interruption, and ask intelligent questions. And your guest was correct, discipline IS freedom. Well done!😊
Okay, okay, playa. I see you, Steve!
You started your intros with clipping out the suspensful parts to adding in the EMOTIONAL parts...
Seriously hacking the PSYCHOLOGY of our ears and eyes............and our brains.
Good stuff! 👏
When is David Goggins coming?!😭❤️
Jocko looks like Jim Norton and Matt Damon cloned with Hulk DNA - how are they gonna cast the biopic!? - he's an example of humanity we can show aliens and A.I's to show we're worthy of existing. His mind, spirit and drive are singular. Great Episode!
You have no idea what you’re saying. Jocko and cris Kyle have a lot of innocent blood on there hands. 🇺🇸
Thank you Steven for the work, and Thank you Jocko for the insight. I truly appreciated it ❤❤
I love how Jocko talks about humility as such a strength. So many of us need to hear this where our default (often due to company culture) is to hide what we don't know.
Cannot wait for this one! Jocko, what an inspiration. 💪 One day, dream guest on my podcast! 🎙😄
Interview Eric Deming, or look into what he has to say about killer jocko and dead ass cris Kyle.
steve making his guests cry again
He is crying for all the innocent people he and his team mates killed.
Steve is Cry King 😢
Steve must have cried a lot himself, that's why.
This was awesome…..I was a comms guy for ST3 as a MCT guy and I learned so much from SEALS that I carried these lessons learned for the rest of my life. Retired after 25 years, the best time of my military life. In a speech right before deploying from Coronado, and I quote “ You’re about to enter a battlefield and war will make you grow up quick, You have to grow up now”, we were a very young group. “ go out and have some fun and have a few drinks and if you get into a fight, don’t stick around to admire your work.”
I have been watching TheDiaryOfACEO podcasts, sometimes I feel like the guests are in a therapeutic session. There is a lot of reflection by these guests on their own lives, sometimes reaching places untouched in the their psychological wellbeing. Well done to the interviewer.
It's simple, I see Jocko I click
He looks exactly how I'd imagine a hard-core navy seal masculine dude to look like.
This is moving and Very highly inspiring! Thankyou Jocko for your service and your broad view of all you have touched on here and all the time everywhere else. And what is farther of a reach then a lot may not understand or do but when you point out the importance of “Keeping an Open Mind” especially coming from the continuous positions you are in I APPRECIATE tremendously because for those who may not understand the full context of what it means to practice that exact thing, I feel from your perspective(s) they may be blessed to have just that after hearing it from you and your field of service to our Nation! Much Love Jocko and to all who are now before now and after for all your services to us and our great nation !
Wow, that was a good one. It's so good to have a constant source of highly accomplished people to give me the inspiration to everyday become a better me.
What you are doing is what led me to start a business that I just sold a couple of weeks ago and start another business. (Two going at the same time for a while). You are changing people's lives for the better. I'm somewhat new to your channel, but you are adding to the collective of positive messaging that's out there.
Years of putting the right stuff in my head and, most importantly, acting on it. Has put my life on a totally different trajectory.
So, thank you. Thank you for what you do, and being so very good at it.
The ones that really want to make a change will listen, and they will take action.
Unfortunately, most people won't do anything. They'll just wish, complain, blame, and vanish into nothing.
That being said, just realize that most people won't understand what you're doing. They're not bad people, they just don't understand. To them, it's all fear and scary stuff. Stay the course, collect the reward, and ignore the distractions. Get it!!
Bro why are you making everyone who comes to your podcast cry? :D
Don’t be fooled by this clown jocko, he has a lot of innocent blood on his hands, so does cris Kyle, pure evil.
You made Jocko f**king Willink cry? Stop it Steve 😂
He is crying for all the innocent people he and his team mates killed. Don’t let him fool you. He is a psychopath
I have seen a new side of Jocko today that I didn’t know existed. Going through a hard period in my life right now and this episode really struck a chord with me. Thank you, Jocko and thank you, Stephen.
Cheers
Jocko is the real deal. He's genuine, honest, and open. Rare qualities in a leader. I felt that every word was sincere - and backed with tremendous strength - and decency. He's a fresh breeze - bracing actually. He helped clear up a lot of doubts. And btw, Jocko sets the bar. Unlike that guy who claimed to be ex-CIA and who had an unmistakeable air of deceit about him, Jocko proves that the camera never lies. Jocko walks the talk. We're lucky to have such guys in an era of bland. Thanks for a very meaningful interview. BTW, it's not always a good idea to ask combat veterans how the dealt with the loss of comrades and brothers. That's a topic and a memory that no combat vet wants to talk about. Discretion is the better part of valor.
