This is the best interview on leadership I have ever come across! A really great guy ! So profound and meaningful ! Learnt a lot from your conversation! Thank you !
Interesting. Was just listening to Andrew Carnegie and he said the same thing but with different words... I deduce qualities can be obtained by habit and habit can be created through self-discipline. Once you have to qualities you desire as a habit than all you need to do is not get off the train. My thoughts anyway. Carnegie goes on to say, from my own reasoning, that motive is the power or driving force of self discipline. He says obsessional motive. Giving the ability to turn on emotion at will. Probably in the same way a motional video does for people. Noteworthy success is what I speak of to be clear.
Love this!! I’m 52 and feel like I’m trying to figure out what my purpose is now that I raised my boys. Everyday!! I’m filling my brain with this kind of information hoping the answers will just appear. But for now, I am doing for others because it makes me happy to do so.
It FINALLY CLICKED in my head!! That is what's wrong! I used to be very self disciplined. I lost that. I don't know how or when. But I need to start working on self discipline. Discipline is what's been lacking in my life. It finally clicked.
I love how the interviewer asks the questions and then allows the guest to answer without being interrupted... Big skill sir.. Keep the good work and a greate Thanks to Mr. Jocko for his service... It's priceless
I am feeling overwhelmed with my new role at work and this interview has helped me to think again about how I'm doing things, my attitude and my inner strengths. The power of words from wise men is immense. I've gone from 0 to 10 with energy and motivation to get on with it. Thanks a million xxxx
Watch the original jocko podcast from epispde 1. There are 200 episodes online right now. Make it one episode a week on sunday. Buy and read the books Mo-Sa. If you see a problem search for a sulution and stick to it.
"Im not satisfied, but nothings missing" -- couldn't agree more! Be grateful for where you're at and what you have, but always be striving for improvement!
I was literally sweating this whole interview. You are bold to ask all these questions despite some uncomfortable reactions. Wow! So powerful. Thank you, Lewis! I loved this.
@@UnknownPlayer-eg4tc At the very least it makes for a unique interview and not another Jocko interview we've all heard before. Some of the questions I got the impression Jocko was literally detaching, and deescalating mid interview toprevent getting pissed off but some of the insights were incredible from the insights he gave
@@ryanfrisella5626 The interviewer was obsessed with those dumb questions and didn't realize that Jocko didn't want touch these subjetcs. He should know his guests better.
@@UnknownPlayer-eg4tc because you said "the interviewer", I'm assuming that you don't know Lewis Howes and his interviewing style, but this is exactly how he is with everybody. He challenges people to go deeper into their emotions and beliefs. The whole point IS precisely to take the conversation to another level since, as Jocko said himself, he gives a ton of interviews and is very rarely asked a question which he's never heard before.
I would love see Jocko Willink and David Goggins appear on a podcast together. I have seen the same suggestion made countless times on other TH-cam videos and generally it is motivated by people wanting to see two ‘badasses’ join forces and create epic content. I for one would like to see the two men amicably communicate their differences in objectives, perspectives and experiences. Seeing such opposing members of the SEAL fraternity engaged in such a dialogue would be incredibly insightful and provide many lessons for all interested. I have followed both individuals closely and it is clear that similarity is not what will bring them together, but, after a few years of listening to them engaged in comfortable conversation with individuals who are already inclined to agree with them (whether it be because they are in awe of their very presence and accomplishments or because they are old friends or members of the same circles and/or schools of thought) I feel it would refreshing to see them hold their own against another military man whom they do not see eye to eye with on things. The snippet of Jocko and Leif describing BUDs made it very apparent how far apart one side is from the other. Whilst I do not see it as thinly veiled shot at Goggins as some have interpreted it to be, it is still a telling example of the chasm in attitudes between the two parties. It would be interesting for them to hear them explain and compare their attitudes towards Hell Week, the SEAL teams, combat, leadership and life itself. m.th-cam.com/video/nTJe40lBex4/w-d-xo.html - Jocko and Leif on BUDs
Agreed, would be so good to hear. Goggins talks about BUD/S a lot because he had to do it 3 times with all these problems and it is a massive part of his pride and his story. He doesnt necessarily talk about his time serving unlike Jocko and Leif who's stories and lessons are mainly based on their time serving in Ramadi. Maybe one day we will get to see them together but i dont think there would be much chemistry there to be honest!
R Oh I am not necessarily looking for on screen chemistry. I would just like to see them in dialogue and how that plays out as they bring their differing mindsets to the table. Jocko seems as though he really can work effectively with anyone, that is part of his ‘GOOD’ mindset and I am certain he would remain his articulate self during the discussion. Goggins has a more abrasive approach, though both are blunt Goggins is much more workmanlike in his thinking and speech. For a better, well rounded life I think Jocko’s template and example is the better of the two to follow but I think that is best compared by having the two men talk face to face. Goggins lives life out anger and channels it into discipline. Jocko lives life seemingly under his own drive and thus also maintains discipline.
Pavel Sokov Only they and their circle would know that. I just follow them on social media and read their work and listen to what they have to say. Neither seem catty enough to air out any personal disputes online if they do indeed have any issues between them.
Nail on the head mate. I think they did have a twitter exchange a few years back about Goggins coming on the podcast but obviously hasnt happened... Yet. Ps - Good to see another Londoner getting after it!
the most inspiring thing is that Jocko is having a notebook and a pen and he is writing things, that my friend is being respectfull and learn every day
@mart9898 I couldn't disagree with you more. The interviewer did a perfect job of interviewing this guy and couldn't have asked better questions. This guy deserves a big pat on the back for the way he conducted this interview.

I've seen pretty much every Jocko podcast and interview and this one was really absolutely different from all of them..in all the other ones he is a superior being, here he was a more relatable human being. Never seen him smile so much in an interview.
Jocko is a super hero. He really put the hard word everyday. Great questions Lewis 👌👌👌 Everyday is a second chance we just need to Commit and Succeed. No excuses
Been listening to Jocko for just under a year now - implementing his lessons has massively shifted my life up a few gears. Really recommend his podcast and all his books (even the kids books have lessons for adults). Good interview.
wow what questions Lewis, youre a great interviewer always...And I love Jocko's way how he explain things and give examples. What a man. How much fire and battle you can see in his face.
I like what Jocko Willink has to say! I think Lewis Howes means well he just takes a different approach to his interviews due to his experiences not there's.
Super great talk! Jocko is so fast, and I like how he sometimes doesn't know what to answer on your questions, it's like Jocko stopped spending time for things that are not important. He decides super fast if something is worth discussing and then goes on.
...and then lewis brings him right back to try to answer irrelevant or obvious questions/answers. It's as though Lewis didn't know of Jocko at all, wasn't paying attention, and just responded with "wow", "that is powerful" as a filler. Jocko handled it extremely well.
We need to honor jocko and soldiers alike. They put themselves in extreme danger for me, and for all of you. If a threat reaches american soil, soldiers like jocko will stand between us and that threat no matter the danger. Thank God for men like this. Men like this make America, America.
Lewis, I really love how keep making yourself vulnerable, how you keep asking questions that seem to me like they're uncomfortable to ask! I've watched a few interviews with Jocko, and I've liked them all! Yours was a bit different and more personal. Thanks! :-D
Lewis approached the interview as an equal. That allowed deeper questions to come up sooner. Fantastic interviewing, naturally. Transitioning veterans contemplate their "Why" statement. Jocko addressed this too. It's about alignment, with your soul's core, to a potential job or industry. It's the thread that Jocko's company works to achieve. Almost like he went through the honor foundation with Musselman ;)
The definition of greatness is to help other people. I like that. Jocko is amazing. I read his book way of the warrior kid, which was great too. There he dives in into his concepts like discipline equals freedom a little more. I highly recommend it for everyone who wants sort of a mentorship through a book
Question everything! That’s a good starting point! I think about a new start everyday when it comes to my training. I need to extend this approach to other areas of my life.
I am 30 years old, and for 12 years I have been directionless and struggling to make ends meet. As I was listening up to 27:40 all of a sudden it hits me: I want to be an advisor in helping others get to a point where it's not about ourselves, but absolutely loving unconditionally others. I want them to get to a point where they can confidently help themselves and feel good about themselves, finding peace and joy in their lives.
Turning pain into inspiration!! This is such a great technique. I got a bunch a ton of results out of this when I was younger. Having kids and having them need me around the clock that's hard. You can't just escape to claim that energy when your encouraged or discouraged.
The different levels of leadership, the different levels of learning how to improve oneself are really cool to learn. I wasn't any kind of commander or in an elite force like Jocko was in. I was in the Enlisted ranks in the Army and this man is so spot on what he talks about. I would consider myself on the low level on his experience, but I get what he's sending, and the cool thing is, to be able to learn how to be a leader, it all starts with volunteering yourself. Doesn't cost a thing to learn this kind of knowledge and then be able to use it once you get out.
The level of vulnerability displayed b up both men in is an opener. Really allowed the to get to the very core of the issues discussed. Very high level of communication.
When Jocko is discussing regret, he mentions a beautiful message of the things he had regrets for, which transformed into learning from it and making sure it never happens again. I think it's important to note for people to practice self compassion toward themselves if that "thing" DOES happen again because...sometimes it does happen again...And it's okay. We learn from those too, but please remember friends! you're not perfect. You're human ! Make sure you cut yourselves slack when you make the same mistake twice
“I’m not looking to win an argument, I’m looking to resolve a problem” Acknowledge the problem & provide a solution. The most important relationship is firstly the one with yourself. Resolve that first. All other relationships evolve from there. Lewis’s question was 💯% on point.
These guys are BEAST/Heros and they constantly say be HUMBLE! I really enjoy the hard questions and the transparency. Thanks for the encouragement and motivation.
This man would make me pee my pants. Kudos to Lewis for having the self confidence to have this interview without getting intimidated or nervous. His presence is powerful haha.
I totally agree with his de-escalation methods , I feel this could work on arguments for the majority of time! But in relationships there 50 /50 and taking the blame for everything may not always work, you also don't want to become a push over either!
Idk what everyone's deal is saying this guy asked "stupid questions" I found this video very helpful and expanding the interviewer did a good job touching on some in depth subjects.
I really like Jocko and his answers, I've already looked him up on Spotify and he truly is pretty amazing. Most people could learn a lot from him. But I'd also like to acknowledge how great questions Lewis asked! I wish this video was at least three times as long.
In the age of fatherless men this man with his values is a kind of hope - at least for me. If you had no reliable person in your early childhood an youth you still feel the need - or maybe a kind of gap? - for something meaningful, something to create. But: Without discipline you will not achieve anything. And that is the step most of us are afraid of: decide what you REALLY want to do and then: stick to it, create your own system of belief and let no one destroy this. In other words: endure. Even if you are the only person who believes in what you are doing. I am writing this being the witness of my own „failure“ (nearly 60 years old). But even failure can be used as a kind of motivator to transform. Do not give up. At the end of your life you should be able to say: at least I tried to change. Thanks for this interview. Really inspiring. Greetings from Germany (excuse my English).
Well Lu, this one was like 5 hours of hard-core training in the gym, in the row. And every muscle of my personality is inflamed. Thank You. I thought I am in a condition.
Jocko gave us a peek into his leadership here when Lewis asked what he was most excited about in his life and beyond a little surf talk he went straight to appreciating the men and women of our armed forces for giving him (& all of us) the freedom to do whatever he wants. But... in the end of the interview when Lewis is just shouting out Jocko's podcast Jocko showed he was extremely excited and proud of his company in Maine and bringing jobs back to to the US. But when posed a question for him to kinda take center stage rather than go on about himself and his accomplishments he deflects any personal spotlight to lift up other people who make his success possible. I mean that's practicing what you preach right there, great stuff!🇺🇲
The description of the two COs or platoon leaders coming in, based on having read the description in Leadership Strategy and Tactics, I have to say is incredibly awesome. The reason I bought that book was, after months of deliberation, and after having just coincidentally opened the book to the imposter syndrome chapter, I had just become a back up lead, and it stuck with me for months. I started reading the book about two years ago, and never knew that he was actually doing interviews and podcasts until maybe two days ago. It is incredibly encouraging to know that he’s up in the lineup with Jordan Peterson and others.
Lewis I just want to say a huge thank you! You consistently bring great minds. It's very diverse, and enjoyable. I have enjoyed every single show! ugh... i'm just sooooo grateful. I'm pretty sure people right across the world appreciate the positive messages as well. So, thank you!
I like the way you interview! You make Jocko become relatable and I also saw your other interviews, you're very good at what you do! More power to you, Lewis! Subscribed 😀
I think i understand what he meant about not wanting to see the photos. When your in a war or even just wamna be fully mentally on task if you care THAT much it can compromise the mission.
WOW. I did not lose a second focus listening to this and this was the best informative interview I've ever ever came across! He's amazing and inspirational! Thank You so Much!!!!
Love it 😊 Absolutely correct 👍 My former Personal Trainer was a Marine Corp military officer. Recall and Restore the memory, fitness, nutrition training is my foundation. Tribute to Kyle.
People I most listen to have a degree of high confidence tempered by humility whereas their beliefs are based on experience and observation though still firmly but not completely rooted. This SAILOR is within those parameters. One can learn much here.
Love the interview. A lot to take in. My favorite part were the questions you asked. I could tell some of these questions he had never answered. I specifically liked the question about checking in with yourself. I think it's very important to do that and there should be more talk on the importance of that. It's not ingrained in most of us as it is for him. Again, love the deep important questions. Very real✨
This is the best interview on leadership I have ever come across! A really great guy ! So profound and meaningful ! Learnt a lot from your conversation! Thank you !
The book will blow you away
Monia Djelassi Couldn’t agree more!
Read his books and watch his podcasts. He's had a positive impact on me.
I’m a life long student
You know I can make you wait as much as me
"Discipline is the root of all good qualities" found my new mantra!
Interesting. Was just listening to Andrew Carnegie and he said the same thing but with different words... I deduce qualities can be obtained by habit and habit can be created through self-discipline. Once you have to qualities you desire as a habit than all you need to do is not get off the train. My thoughts anyway. Carnegie goes on to say, from my own reasoning, that motive is the power or driving force of self discipline. He says obsessional motive. Giving the ability to turn on emotion at will.

Very clear Sos. ty
Absolutely!!
Listening to this everyday!

“If you don’t know your purpose, go help someone else.”
- Jocko Wisdom
it's what I do, never heard anyone say it, now I know I'm correct
This is actually from Ghandi but still gold
I wish somebody would have told me this years ago.
@@clarkparker4860
Love this!! I’m 52 and feel like I’m trying to figure out what my purpose is now that I raised my boys.
Everyday!! I’m filling my brain with this kind of information hoping the answers will just appear.
But for now, I am doing for others because it makes me happy to do so.
*3 Lessons*
1. Extreme Ownership
2. Discipline Equals Freedom
3. You need balance in everything
Yes!
4. Good.

Number 3 dictates a necessity for extreme disownership
1.Extreme
2.Disciplined
3.Balance
This guy is legitimately one of the most alert/aware and knowledgeable people ive ever come across. Crazy intuitive.
It FINALLY CLICKED in my head!! That is what's wrong! I used to be very self disciplined. I lost that. I don't know how or when. But I need to start working on self discipline. Discipline is what's been lacking in my life. It finally clicked.

He is great Rob!
How is the book like, Rob?

They were poor questions. I think that's what actually happened
The more I learn about Jocko the more I love him and what he has to share with the world!
The most underrated interview ever!!! Been going back to this interview 100 times
Jocko is the definition of a wise man
I would love see Jocko Willink and David Goggins appear on a podcast together. I have seen the same suggestion made countless times on other TH-cam videos and generally it is motivated by people wanting to see two ‘badasses’ join forces and create epic content. I for one would like to see the two men amicably communicate their differences in objectives, perspectives and experiences. Seeing such opposing members of the SEAL fraternity engaged in such a dialogue would be incredibly insightful and provide many lessons for all interested. I have followed both individuals closely and it is clear that similarity is not what will bring them together, but, after a few years of listening to them engaged in comfortable conversation with individuals who are already inclined to agree with them (whether it be because they are in awe of their very presence and accomplishments or because they are old friends or members of the same circles and/or schools of thought) I feel it would refreshing to see them hold their own against another military man whom they do not see eye to eye with on things.
The snippet of Jocko and Leif describing BUDs made it very apparent how far apart one side is from the other. Whilst I do not see it as thinly veiled shot at Goggins as some have interpreted it to be, it is still a telling example of the chasm in attitudes between the two parties. It would be interesting for them to hear them explain and compare their attitudes towards Hell Week, the SEAL teams, combat, leadership and life itself.

the most inspiring thing is that Jocko is having a notebook and a pen and he is writing things, that my friend is being respectfull and learn every day
At 57:00 he speaks of "reflect and diminish"... that's brilliant advice as you build rapport first then switch focus on solutions, spot on advice!
Motivation makes you want to be successful, self-discipline gets you there.
When you are the leader you take responsibility for the screwups, but you give credit to the team when for everything that goes right.
The reflect and diminish thought is gold, really nice take on pacing and leading but brings much more clarity and universality of use for me
Credit to Jocko for not jumping out of the window during this interview.
the first hour was not was I was expecting, then it turned into something. No one is perfect, Respect either way.
Righttttt.....was thinking exactly that.😶😶😶😶
@mart9898 I couldn't disagree with you more. The interviewer did a perfect job of interviewing this guy and couldn't have asked better questions. This guy deserves a big pat on the back for the way he conducted this interview.

From one older man to another ... good explanation of decision making, and leadership. Its hard, but worth it.
Strong comment to username ratio
I've seen pretty much every Jocko podcast and interview and this one was really absolutely different from all of them..in all the other ones he is a superior being, here he was a more relatable human being. Never seen him smile so much in an interview.
Check him out on Theo Vons podcast
Jocko is a super hero. He really put the hard word everyday. Great questions Lewis 👌👌👌 Everyday is a second chance we just need to Commit and Succeed. No excuses
Thanks so much, Laura!
This is a great man to have on your show. Much respect.
That was pretty cool. He has such a strong belief in his mental that some of the questions were foreign to him to even comprehend
Wow. I've got cramp in my hand from writing so many notes during the interview! Profoundly wise words from a guy who lives by them! Really inspiring.
Jocko is the best, his teachings have been chanigng my life this past year, go listen to his content and read his books! Discipline Equals Freedom.
Been listening to Jocko for just under a year now - implementing his lessons has massively shifted my life up a few gears. Really recommend his podcast and all his books (even the kids books have lessons for adults). Good interview.

wow what questions Lewis, youre a great interviewer always...And I love Jocko's way how he explain things and give examples. What a man. How much fire and battle you can see in his face.
My humble admiration for your unique, unreal above average guest. Breathtaking and rare like a diamond, wow. Thank you for this great interview.
Glad you enjoyed it!
nobody can be Jocko but jocko...
.he is the greatest ...
I thought I'd already watched this and was expecting a boring interview. Nope, good questions and consistently brings out the gold.
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂
This is the best video I have seen my entire time on TH-cam over ten years
Thanks!
I like what Jocko Willink has to say! I think Lewis Howes means well he just takes a different approach to his interviews due to his experiences not there's.
This man is a Spiritual Warrior, superior thinking,💪 superior being 💪
Jocko is the best! That’s so cool you got to interview him.
Jocko is a beast. Discipline equals freedom. Love him
Jacko is brutally honest in his comments. He is a very sincere in all his answers.

Big EGO + no experience = disaster!!
I love Lewis podcast because show how humble you need to be and learn from others. Thakn you for this amazing guest.
Jocko is awesome. He failed his way through BUD until completion. No give up attitude.
The definition of greatness is to help other people. I like that. Jocko is amazing. I read his book way of the warrior kid, which was great too. There he dives in into his concepts like discipline equals freedom a little more. I highly recommend it for everyone who wants sort of a mentorship through a book
Have to agree, I used this book working with a group of disengaged school kid's
people like this guy should be managing the world
Jocko for president. The world would be a much better place
This is one of those interviews that changed my life.
Question everything! That’s a good starting point! I think about a new start everyday when it comes to my training. I need to extend this approach to other areas of my life.
I am 30 years old, and for 12 years I have been directionless and struggling to make ends meet.
As I was listening up to 27:40 all of a sudden it hits me: I want to be an advisor in helping others get to a point where it's not about ourselves, but absolutely loving unconditionally others. I want them to get to a point where they can confidently help themselves and feel good about themselves, finding peace and joy in their lives.

Turning pain into inspiration!! This is such a great technique. I got a bunch a ton of results out of this when I was younger. Having kids and having them need me around the clock that's hard. You can't just escape to claim that energy when your encouraged or discouraged.
The section on dealing with ones angry wife was golden. Thank you so so much
My WOW-counter overloaded!
The different levels of leadership, the different levels of learning how to improve oneself are really cool to learn. I wasn't any kind of commander or in an elite force like Jocko was in. I was in the Enlisted ranks in the Army and this man is so spot on what he talks about. I would consider myself on the low level on his experience, but I get what he's sending, and the cool thing is, to be able to learn how to be a leader, it all starts with volunteering yourself. Doesn't cost a thing to learn this kind of knowledge and then be able to use it once you get out.
We can always learn & grow from Champions/True Winners like Him☆
Yes! Agreed!

Q
Jocko is awesome , so much respect for him and all that have served our great nation, definitely an inspiration !!!!!!!!!
Good questions on the spiritual issues Lewis. You did not let Jocko off easy.
What a beautiful human being this guy is.
The level of vulnerability displayed b up both men in is an opener. Really allowed the to get to the very core of the issues discussed. Very high level of communication.
Jocko Willink, solid character, solid man.
Definitely one of the best interviews of Jocko 👍
When Jocko is discussing regret, he mentions a beautiful message of the things he had regrets for, which transformed into learning from it and making sure it never happens again.
I think it's important to note for people to practice self compassion toward themselves if that "thing" DOES happen again because...sometimes it does happen again...And it's okay. We learn from those too, but please remember friends! you're not perfect. You're human ! Make sure you cut yourselves slack when you make the same mistake twice
“I’m not looking to win an argument, I’m looking to resolve a problem” Acknowledge the problem & provide a solution. The most important relationship is firstly the one with yourself. Resolve that first. All other relationships evolve from there. Lewis’s question was 💯% on point.

@@lewishowes 🙏🏻😊
These guys are BEAST/Heros and they constantly say be HUMBLE! I really enjoy the hard questions and the transparency. Thanks for the encouragement and motivation.
You're welcome,thank you for being here 💜
This man would make me pee my pants. Kudos to Lewis for having the self confidence to have this interview without getting intimidated or nervous. His presence is powerful haha.
"Make sure that your intent is felt all the way down through the chain of command"
I totally agree with his de-escalation methods , I feel this could work on arguments for the majority of time!
But in relationships there 50 /50 and taking the blame for everything may not always work, you also don't want to become a push over either!
Idk what everyone's deal is saying this guy asked "stupid questions" I found this video very helpful and expanding the interviewer did a good job touching on some in depth subjects.
32:00
I really like Jocko and his answers, I've already looked him up on Spotify and he truly is pretty amazing. Most people could learn a lot from him. But I'd also like to acknowledge how great questions Lewis asked! I wish this video was at least three times as long.
Great questions, amazing answers, Lewis is the perfect interviewer, with just the right amount of listening and asking.
Truly appreciate that Anthony! 🙏
Humble, Self-Awareness, Grit
Jocko Willink for President
Howes is a GREAT interviewer. I'm so impressed.
In the age of fatherless men this man with his values is a kind of hope - at least for me. If you had no reliable person in your early childhood an youth you still feel the need - or maybe a kind of gap? - for something meaningful, something to create.
But: Without discipline you will not achieve anything. And that is the step most of us are afraid of: decide what you REALLY want to do and then: stick to it, create your own system of belief and let no one destroy this. In other words: endure. Even if you are the only person who believes in what you are doing. I am writing this being the witness of my own „failure“ (nearly 60 years old). But even failure can be used as a kind of motivator to transform. Do not give up. At the end of your life you should be able to say: at least I tried to change. Thanks for this interview. Really inspiring. Greetings from Germany (excuse my English).
You're welcome,thank you for watching🧡
Great interview! Wish everyone could take ownership of his/her failures and mistakes..responsibility is a great virtue
Well Lu, this one was like 5 hours of hard-core training in the gym, in the row. And every muscle of my personality is inflamed. Thank You. I thought I am in a condition.
😄😄Me too!
A lot of respect for Jocko Willink
Jocko gave us a peek into his leadership here when Lewis asked what he was most excited about in his life and beyond a little surf talk he went straight to appreciating the men and women of our armed forces for giving him (& all of us) the freedom to do whatever he wants.
But... in the end of the interview when Lewis is just shouting out Jocko's podcast Jocko showed he was extremely excited and proud of his company in Maine and bringing jobs back to to the US. But when posed a question for him to kinda take center stage rather than go on about himself and his accomplishments he deflects any personal spotlight to lift up other people who make his success possible. I mean that's practicing what you preach right there, great stuff!🇺🇲
The description of the two COs or platoon leaders coming in, based on having read the description in Leadership Strategy and Tactics, I have to say is incredibly awesome. The reason I bought that book was, after months of deliberation, and after having just coincidentally opened the book to the imposter syndrome chapter, I had just become a back up lead, and it stuck with me for months.
I started reading the book about two years ago, and never knew that he was actually doing interviews and podcasts until maybe two days ago.
It is incredibly encouraging to know that he’s up in the lineup with Jordan Peterson and others.
Lewis I just want to say a huge thank you! You consistently bring great minds. It's very diverse, and enjoyable. I have enjoyed every single show! ugh... i'm just sooooo grateful. I'm pretty sure people right across the world appreciate the positive messages as well. So, thank you!
This interview is is defintely one of the best on the show. Full of tips on correcting ones thinking and attitudes
I like the way you interview! You make Jocko become relatable and I also saw your other interviews, you're very good at what you do! More power to you, Lewis! Subscribed 😀
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing Alyssa! 🙏
I think i understand what he meant about not wanting to see the photos. When your in a war or even just wamna be fully mentally on task if you care THAT much it can compromise the mission.
This is a real powerful interview on leadership! Appreciate this Lewis.
Stunning interview. Big fan of jocko ... in my opinion the best interview of his philosophies on leadership.
WOW. I did not lose a second focus listening to this and this was the best informative interview I've ever ever came across! He's amazing and inspirational! Thank You so Much!!!!
You're welcome, thank you for being here 🧡
Love it 😊
Absolutely correct 👍
My former Personal Trainer was a Marine Corp military officer.
Recall and Restore the memory, fitness, nutrition training is my foundation. Tribute to Kyle.
People I most listen to have a degree of high confidence tempered by humility whereas their beliefs are based on experience and observation though still firmly but not completely rooted. This SAILOR is within those parameters. One can learn much here.
Jocko I know you'll see this comment. You're the real deal man. Always inspired.
Please interview all the Seals they are encouraging and fascinating with so many valuable tools
Wisest thing to do is let Jocko talk. Everything he says is brilliant.
This guy is very intelligent I think he’s 45 years old. He’s sharing his young.
Very Powerful interview thanks!
jocko willink for president
Great interview..be humble and extreme ownership
Love the interview. A lot to take in. My favorite part were the questions you asked. I could tell some of these questions he had never answered. I specifically liked the question about checking in with yourself. I think it's very important to do that and there should be more talk on the importance of that. It's not ingrained in most of us as it is for him.
Again, love the deep important questions. Very real✨
Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙂
