Great podcast. I'm sure I'm not alone in knowing that I have fallen into ego traps and lack of discipline; Jocko's intelligence, pragmatism, and humor are inspiring.
Jocko should have on Tuskegee Airmen Charles McGee. The centenarian flew over 400 combat missions between WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. He must have plenty of great stories and wisom to share.
Hi Jocko & Echo, i just want to say thank you for this episode, i did initially write a whole paragraph on it, however i think a simple thanks will suffice, but i will say that you guys are doing a grand job & your advice has been really constructive, the way you suggested how to tackle the ego in the work place was brilliant, life is easy it's people that make it harder, so i appreciate your advise in this grand world of chess playing. Again thanks guys & looking forward to the next episode.
Come on man these muscle heads can’t read! That’s why I like these good guys who take in knowledge and take care of their body, soul, and mind. Emotional, physical, and spiritual well being is what we should be striving for.
Truth is, whenever I start slowing down in my personal goals, I listen to a little jocko and echo, and ist amazing how I find time to make the good calls, and put the effort in that corrects my course. Thank you so much guys. Discipline does mean freedom.
Lived a lie of a life for ever to feel better about my pathetic nature/lifestyle etc. It was a rough set of years to tell myself the truth more and more to have a honest perspective on where I was in life, very depressing etc. Was worth the pain because I know I am a honest person now.
FIRST 5 MINS (give or take). When I was working as a mudman on drilling rigs, you could tell the rigs that wanted to keep working. Each crew would try to one up the other crew and achieve more than the other. The drilling rigs that were doomed to fail and lose contracts were the ones that would fight each other, and their crews would be always leaving something for the other person to pick up.
At 35 minutes in, about the young lady at high school and bullying, the fact that she is at one of your seminars or gatherings speaks volumes to me, to have the notion to attend shows that she is way ahead of the rest and i take my hat of to her and i would like to say that school is just a moment in your journey that will pass just like when you run up a hill, once done it's done
Echo! Can you please make a clip where jocko starts answering a question at one hour and 18 minutes in. “The truth will set you free” And for sure add some explosions to it! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Be on time and washed up fresh (since I do live a slightly different lifestyle by running to work i need time to perhaps rinse my face) I get that. Something which I must plan for and show up earlier. But there seems to be within my perceptual understanding an authority struggle, that is just within my reach when I go to increase my mental toughness by using "Infantry" self talk and remembering being courteous, yet the moment I go to perform slightly better, by washing at the beginning of my shift, dishes which are not yet washed but could use a fresh start, the authority struggle begins. It was not with the intention of outperforming, but rather going "Infantry" on the front line of food safety WITH my team, yet the assessment is that "I am too worked up, I have too much "energy" which at least was an answer to what I must think about. I do want to fix it and have it not be a power struggle, but rather a "hell yeah" response, which maybe I am shooting for the stars on that, but you get the point.
I've said it before but I'll keep saying it. Guys, it would be great if you brought David Goggins on the podcast. We would all go nuts! I suspect there is some tension between Goggins and some of Jocko's old Team guys but there is much common ground in discipline, overcoming issues and getting after it overall! Either way though, no factor!
There’s such a delay between being able to listen to it on the Jockopodcast website and TH-cam. I listened ta 2/3rds a this two days ago. I spent like 23 minutes earlier trying to find the vid thinking of course it’s out on TH-cam somewhere, why wouldn’t it be out? Echo doesn’t lag that hard, but alas... anyway it’s out. Finally. Mr. Echo. Thank you
So, I started going to the gym 4-5 days per week. I think this is end of week 4. Well yesterday I was stricken with strep throat; tonsils the size of golfballs, sore and throbbing. I was really excited to do arm day today, but I am convinced that my body needs rest. My level of ownership here is playing the game where my body has made an executive decision. I can't go run, and I can't do the arm exercises I had planned. I cant go to the gym and risk infecting others, but I can psych myself up for the day I am able to resume exercise. I can feed my body good, hearty, healthy foods. I can absorb useful, wholesome information and keep my brain as sharp as possible. I can plan for the week ahead and develop a strategy to mitigate the risk of getting sick or injured when I can get back to work. I'm subordinating my ego and giving my body the time it needs to heal, instead of worrying about the gains I'm missing. The dumbbells will still be there when I return, and I'll be in a better vantage point to make those gains. Right now, my immune system is getting some, and next week, my body is gonna get some.
Slapjack, also known as Slaps, is a simple standard-deck card game, generally played among children. It can often be a child's first introduction to playing cards. The game is a cross between Beggar-My-Neighbour and Egyptian Ratscrew and is also sometimes known as Heart Attack. *Wikipedia*
Ahhhh STA-21. I was an alternate on my first 2 packages. My third was pure gold, the best I could’ve asked for, topped off with recommendations from the MARFORPAC Commander and Surgeon. Submitted it and wouldn’t you know, during Obama-Era sequestration they abolished the Medical Corp (Doctor) option. Man I was crushed. But happy it didn’t happen, wouldn’t be where I am today.
Guys looking ready to wear a hat backwards Subbed and liked the video. It’s confrontational because it’s something we all work to improve upon. Can’t worry about anonther mans worries unless he’s needing your help.
I'm getting more and more of a sense that "ego" in these examples means false, shallow pride. As opposed to the pride you get from truly being the best at something. I don;t get that. Don't people get bored not being challenged? Isn't boredom worse than breaking a sweat? Plus working hard together is a positive way of building workplace relationships.
Blackjack or sap are the most common terms for the impact tool in question. Slapjack I don't know, might be another common name for it among some people also. Laws on possession and use vary depending on the state--everything is illegal in California, which is one huge reason I don't live there.
A blackjack is what is commonly referred to as a night stick, and a slapjack is a leather tool with a weighted lead end used to hit the subject. The are both illegal and legal in different areas of the united states.
Regarding the fellow who is working extra hard to get ahead: he has taken his eye off service and became self serving. When dedicated to the goal of keeping people safe, and doing it to the best of one’s ability all the energy of the universe is at his disposal. When serving self, it’s serving man (EGO) instead of GOD . It becomes hard work rather than pure joy and honour.
You should tell him good job and follow his example! :) working hard isn't brown nosing tho....that's when they just spend all their energy sucking up. If they're just working hard, maybe you should join them and then you'll both be better.
What do you do when you poop your pants in a Monday morning work meeting because you’re hungover from Sunday funday and you thought it was just a fart but turned out to be something way worse? A big, sloppy, smelly, brown diarrhea like turd in your underwear? How do I detach myself from this situation?
Ok, real question: How do I appeal to ego in such a way as to get people to do what's best long term even tho they might be sacrificing an ego trip in the short term? For example: trophy hunting. One way to go on an ego trip is to just shoot everything big and awesome insight, BUT that means the population will decline and become weak, small and sickly in the long term which will result in: no more trophies. BUT if you focus on long term, and shoot the smaller, weaker ones instead: the species will get more and more awesome. Thus you hunts could very well go back to being the stuff of songs and legends ;). When I talk about this with people one on one almost everyone agrees, but how do you translate that into unanimous consent where ppl really get it and support it? And are excited about it. Rather than just thinking you're trying to take away their trophies and make their lives less interesting. Real predators get this. Human hunters are more ego driven.
im SO happy to have found you. how to respond when another DOESNT live taking the high road & takes that low road to undermine you while youre making great strides forward? these cackling old bitties have systematically wiped out every one around, im the last standing. piff ----

See i would cheer anyone on who trys to better themselves to advance but here is the problem.. Its like here go ahead but then they who are trying to get ahead look down upon you.. so i end up being a dick to them anyways by outworking them

I want to see Jocko do an episode of Hot Ones.
Gi joey holy shit that would be great
He would allow one single tear to form in his non-shooting eye
Zachary Smith lmfaooo beat me to it
I've only seen a few episodes of hot ones, but the only one I've seen take it like a champ, was Neil D. Tyson. I'm Sure Jocko could also dominate
The wings would sweat
Great podcast. I'm sure I'm not alone in knowing that I have fallen into ego traps and lack of discipline; Jocko's intelligence, pragmatism, and humor are inspiring.
Jocko at 1:20:14-1:23:33
I don't find discipline
Discipline finds me
Discipline is freedom
The truth will set you free
Enebruce Teques stopped what I was doing to re-listen to this section a few times, got me fired up
Jocko should have on Tuskegee Airmen Charles McGee. The centenarian flew over 400 combat missions between WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. He must have plenty of great stories and wisom to share.
YES!!!!! @jocko
yes please jocko!
I love these conversations. It is like therapy to me. I can totally connect with these guys like a friendship.

Jocko and Echo great advice on how to put ego aside and work hard and take responsibility for success in the real world
Truth is, whenever I start slowing down in my personal goals, I listen to a little jocko and echo, and ist amazing how I find time to make the good calls, and put the effort in that corrects my course. Thank you so much guys. Discipline does mean freedom.
Such a big fan when Jocko says: "cheeeeeeeck..."
Men of heart and wisdom, you guys rock, helping me get back to normal with your teachings 👍

Love this topic! I’m in LE and I have said it since I started...knowledge is nothing unless you pass it on!
what is LE?
First time in a leadership position. Thank you for the advice and tips.
Thank you for being Jocko and echo!

Great podcast, I'm sure I'm not alone in knowing that I have fallen into ego traps before; I love Jocko's intelligent pragmatism, and his humor.
Best way to start the day while crushing the weights...listening to the Jocko podcast!
Once you become fearless... life becomes limitless.
you dont become fearless, you become brave. Absence of fear is extremely dangerous, wisdom, strength, agression and courage transcends fear
Right on time ,love you bro,just a reminder I needed.
Would Love to see Matt Best on this podcast!
The classic, “Good evening Echo.”
Good evening, to you all.
Jocko imitating Echo is the best.
Figured it out last week. Bless You+ Lucius Raistlin Ascension. Amen+
Finally some q and A
God bless you guys for doing these videos!
At 35 minutes in, about the young lady at high school and bullying, the fact that she is at one of your seminars or gatherings speaks volumes to me, to have the notion to attend shows that she is way ahead of the rest and i take my hat of to her and i would like to say that school is just a moment in your journey that will pass just like when you run up a hill, once done it's done
Thanks for another great podcast.
"Guess what time i'm coming in tomorrow?"
"6?"
"No! 4:30!"
Also, 100% send John Danaher some rashguards.
Love the ecosystem breakdown
Echo! Can you please make a clip where jocko starts answering a question at one hour and 18 minutes in. “The truth will set you free”
And for sure add some explosions to it! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Everybody likes Jocko bruh^^
This one was great ! Thanks

7:24 when somebody tells you your ex is with someone else
Lol it kept getting better
Fantastic!
Ya done good son lol
Good episode. Thanks!
I've said it before but I'll keep saying it.
Guys, it would be great if you brought David Goggins on the podcast. We would all go nuts!
I suspect there is some tension between Goggins and some of Jocko's old Team guys but
there is much common ground in discipline, overcoming issues and getting after it overall!
Either way though, no factor!
Great Book

1:19:00 needed this 👍
Maybe you didn't invent it, but I'm sure you have articulated it in such a way that helps people grasp the idea a little easier.

I'm not the only one who can't get enough of Echo's marginally applicable metaphors.
I needed to hear this.

Good morning gentlemen.......
Ahhhh STA-21. I was an alternate on my first 2 packages. My third was pure gold, the best I could’ve asked for, topped off with recommendations from the MARFORPAC Commander and Surgeon.

Straight biblical principles
damn it echo.... 😂😂🍻
Both are right about slap jack vs Black Jack
Jocko should take the next batman role
One hour and three minute mark should definitely be an excerpt
Thank you.
Guys looking ready to wear a hat backwards

Request for Edward Byers and/or Elliot Ackerman on the ‘cast.

Yes blackjack is the correct term. Slapjack = pancakes
Good evening
Good!
7:20 GOOD.
Where can someone get into ju jitsu training?
Google - get after it.
You're right. You all know me better than I know myself... 😭😭😭
I want a harem of willing girlfriends
Lol you can build one. Nothing's impossible boss.
My dawg.
Just become rich and famous. Easy nuff right?
Anyone know what the striations on echos arms are?
... Tatoos
Just to clarify are we say ecosystems egosystem???Cause I really like egosystem
Is that a SOG BLADE ?
I see you read questions off the sheet in the episodes. Do you read these -->
You are both right. There is a slapjack and a blackjack.
A blackjack is what is commonly referred to as a night stick, and a slapjack is a leather tool with a weighted lead end used to hit the subject. The are both illegal and legal in different areas of the united states.
Blackjack is a weighted leather pouch used for knocking people out silently
Regarding the fellow who is working extra hard to get ahead: he has taken his eye off service and became self serving. When dedicated to the goal of keeping people safe, and doing it to the best of one’s ability all the energy of the universe is at his disposal. When serving self, it’s serving man (EGO) instead of GOD . It becomes hard work rather than pure joy and honour.
Every time Jocko or Echo say “ecosystem” do 10 burpees.
So you have chosen.....DEATH BY BURPEE!
I was wondering what you were on about, now I need oxygen
I'm confident in the next episode they'll discover colors
💯
I have a question Jocko, do you concealed carry every day and if you do what do you carry everyday? What does your every day carry look like?
Sometimes I feel Jocko is just holding echo against his will when he’s holding that blade in his hand
Remember LINEMEN who keep the power on and LINEMEN who keep your phone and internet on.
jocko holds a knife,echo holds a pen
You should tell him good job and follow his example! :) working hard isn't brown nosing tho....that's when they just spend all their energy sucking up. If they're just working hard, maybe you should join them and then you'll both be better.
Argue your limitations and they’re yours
Has Jocko ever read about Wehrmacht soldiers or anything?
I HAVE FINALLY ACCEPTED MY SKINNY KNEES

Echo is one of those people that may give the impression that he is high, even though he is drug free.
L Cobb lol he ain’t 100% drug free. Those arms don’t lie, he’s running a bit of the old “enhancement” if you know what I mean.
Its a blackjack
It's called a blackjack
I came here for the blackjack comments.
I cant tell If Jocko smokes no weed or smokes ALL the weed. l
