This is such a great back and forth between Jocko and Echo. I feel like Echo has really been leveling up in his dialogue with Jocko and Jocko has been more accepting in departing from the text to dialogue on a point rather than constantly trying to get right back to reading. Great give and take here.

24:00 It would happen on engineering finals too. The test scores would end up in the single digits. They would get so stressed they couldn't do the simple easy points.
One of the ultimate examples of being calm under extreme duress is when capt sully landed his AIRLINER on the damn Hudson River. The audio is cool as ice. Negative we’re going in the Hudson.
These are great points. Went to. Army. SERE back in the day. Probably one of the best schools I attended as an enlisted Soldier. Great psychology and manipulation in that course course at Camp McCall
As in such of a specificity interpretation it was hypothesized that when the trait is directly relatable to the behaviors needed to perform a specific job, the correlations would be stronger between the trait and the behavior than when the trait is multifaceted and thus harder to relate directly to the requirements of the job.
Echo says, "sure, fine, let's say people have ONE skill then!!" I was already in agreement from when he said ZERO skills! -- Great podcast though guys, as usual. Loved the banter and Echo was on top tonight!
Jocko, listening in Oxfordshire, UK. This is excellent. Woukd you write your own (updated) version? You could ask your colleagues/ ex-colleagues for quotes. I'd buy it.
You know Echo is excited about a talking point when he calls Jocko "Bruh" more than once per sentence! 😅 I'm from MA, so I picked it up quick & it cracked me up cuz I'll slip out a few "Brah's" esp when I have caffeine & if I'm talking about something from back in the day!

I definitely agree with echo on the strength debate. A person with poor genetics can still train themselves into top tier strength capacities (600+ lb squat, 400+ lb bench, 600+lb deadlift) which is something no person on the planet no matter how naturally gifted they are can do without training for it. Having the right genetics is necessary to be in the top 1% but you can still get pretty damn close without genetics and certainly miles ahead of anyone that doesn't train.
SIGMA personality qualities.. soo. Throat, and so on..Good until.. umm, 2016 you understand it was not flame retardant materials.. annnd it's based on something else..
Yep, im still cold from years ago I guess. And then the thawing doesn't smell so great, and yes I sweat a lot.. but I'm cleanier, too old, and still have all my limbs, buuutt my feet..
Im a mixture of accepting what you're dealt but also making the best out of it..which isn't the same thing as just accepting it. But i generally am agreeable and dgaf or complain. I'm conditioned to it. if i could come and go at will, a prison cell would be a cozy room to me...i hate too soft of a mattress. Plus the toilet is conveniently close. I like being outside too much to accept prison though
I've been tboned by a dude that went straight through say about 50 and hit me right in the center on the passenger door. It was night and he had lights on and was the only other car on the road. You positively don't have any chance to react - my mind became aware of lights approaching and sent the, "that's odd, investigate" signal a quarter second, half second at most and right then the most violent break of silence followed by two "slides" in my mind - going towards the steering wheel and the drivers side door, and looking out the windshield to see, "f*cking tree." The airbag deploys and I remember thinking I was going to miss the airbag better l because I was shoved towards the door so violently, or the tree gets me as I fly off the road. There's zero chance you're aware of a car going straight through a red until your brain realizes something is out of place and it's too late to even get your foot off the gas before you're watching your accident in slow motion.
The true warrior will never allow himself to be blown up by grenade, even if his commander put it in his lunch box disguised as an apple he accidentally ingested. Okay, seriously, I think it does make sense that your personality will be a major factor regarding the final outcome of any situation. And you know what they say, it ain't over until the fat lady sings.
Friend you CAN heal yourself but it takes effort and speaking personally I find a great deal of help in stoicism, Bushido and the teachings of Buddha, Confucius,Lao Tzu,Marcus Aurelius,Seneca and I draw on Miyamoto Musashi a hell of a lot. These men of antiquity knew stuff and the advice they give is as viable today as it was in their time. 2 pieces of advice come to mind.....1.LISTEN TO THE COMPASS OF YOUR SOUL.ALL YOU NEED LIES WITHIN YOU.ALLOW YOUR TRUE SELF TO LEAD YOU. Dokeshi no michi 2.PAIN IS INEVITABLE,SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL. Buddha You posses all you need to HEAL YOURSELF so commence,start in,get busy and you CAN do it,you are strong enough and just know there is someone out here rooting for you.
Yesterday i had a dream that Jocko was Adam from the bible, and that Eve his wife messed up by taking the forbidden fruit, he told her,” you want wisdom? Work hard. Don’t cheat your way. Get some.” When i woke up I thought i was in heaven because Jocko-Adam had saved us.
I say sorry in person ever if I’m not in the wrong. Pushing the cart say sorry or run into someone when they’re not looking. Sometimes I say it to much and I think to myself I need to stop saying that because it makes me look bad. Another resent example I told a random girl she looks beautiful in the parking lot of a mall. I felt like I was a weirdo and say sorry. 0 game 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. also when I’m in the store and I’m going to the same direction and continuous seeing the same girl I feel like maybe she thinks I’m creeping on her when I’m not. However I’m just aware that I keep seeing this same person and she thinks I’m being weird. I’m 23 pretty above average big guy a but chubby and not a bad looking guy but I still think they think that I’m stalking them and trying to purposely follow them but I’m not. I’m polite, nice and respectful. And an over thinker
think personalities are important, however towards being effective, or working on a team, or leadership 1. it's not who you are, what you say, or what you think about yourself that's important, it's what you do, or suffer for a greater cause, or that ultimately personalities are fake, or what we think of ourselves, not what we are, or what we do 2. personalities tend to run on subjective wisdom, or what people wish, or their tendencies to ignorance, arrogance, or folly, or that one could call it the ' psyche ', or perhaps useless, or relative perspective 3. there's not that much difference between personality, desire, ego, or deception, or that of esp. self - deception, or wishful character thinking, or that respecting personalities, wants, or aversions is towards suffering to the ego, or errant self - perception, or depending on the person, or past 4. people have different layers, or functions of soul, or one could talk of the ultimate perspective, or realities, and ' personality ', or selfish reasoning, perspective, or desire ranks only as level 3, or perhaps 4, or where there are more important faculties, volition, or suffering to causes, or trauma, truth 5. ultimately, or personalities can't decide objective, or important moments, or suffering, or it has to be wisdom, character, or service that does that, or where also prayer is support 6. wanting money, or power tends to be part of people's personality, or one could call that the Devil, or then what is the rest, to be trusted, or honesty 7. people's personality also tends to run on ' popularity ', or what gets me this, or that, or one could talk of a faculty, or degraded soul, or to be careful of decisions that run on that criteria 8. ultimately, the realities we compete with, or to respect are TRUTH, SUFFERING, WISDOM, OR OBJECTIVITY, or that personality, or also subjective character is second to that, or can't decide, write, or review what has to be done, or the necessities, or sacrifices to being true, or gospel
Thanks u actually have a point see where I’m from actually is taken into consideration. Because the people around me r hungry. Most people would be like okay whatever I guess he learned something nah. Nah man. I need to leave
The most Holy rosary of the blessed Virgin Mary, the chaplet of Devine mercy and saints Rita and Jude then my fat ADHD driven ass will them again again. Please don't give up MAGA and HOOK EM my friend
They all want to fight and protect..but.. A king cobra..A king cobra in a downtown metropolitan area... Think about it.. they look like their heads have already been split, and like they've swallowed another rattlesnake headfirst with the rattler of the one he ate still in its throat. STOP running me like the trail of tears years ago if they had only opened their eyes. ✨ ⭐ SEE ID like it to not happen again
Dude it’s funny it rlly is my mom was doing something in the army not rlly sure what maybe she caught a body like u murders in plain sight anyways why do u videos always line up with my life

thanks
Wasn't feeling the workout today but refused to let mind win out over body. Thanks Jocko!
Hell yea good job bro.
Good callout on the intersections. I look at every train crossing and every intersection, every time.
Jocko's so considerate giving Echo Charles a trigger warning!
1:12:22 Situational awareness is important when you are out and about (not face in your phone) so you aren't easy mark for criminals
Perfect timing Jocko and Echo, I'm headed to the gym 🫡

As they say “life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react”
Your podcasts literally helped me psychologically survive
The heat is in the work, boys.
Stellar show. Interesting insights.
Quality podcast lads a great listen enjoyed it. Thanks
These are great points. Went to. Army. SERE back in the day. Probably one of the best schools I attended as an enlisted Soldier. Great psychology and manipulation in that course course at Camp McCall
Echo , my daughter had twins. Let the games begin... love the podcast BTW. Keep up the great work.
As in such of a specificity interpretation it was hypothesized that when the trait is directly relatable to the behaviors needed to perform a specific job, the correlations would be stronger between the trait and the behavior than when the trait is multifaceted and thus harder to relate directly to the requirements of the job.
Echo says, "sure, fine, let's say people have ONE skill then!!"
I was already in agreement from when he said ZERO skills!
-- Great podcast though guys, as usual. Loved the banter and Echo was on top tonight!
Jocko, listening in Oxfordshire, UK. This is excellent. Woukd you write your own (updated) version? You could ask your colleagues/ ex-colleagues for quotes. I'd buy it.
Hey, there, the thought of personality being both the source for survival and a good life is the basis of Aristotle's ethics. Just and add, good show!
Run that

I had a dream I was on Jocko’s podcast and his family invited me for dinner and he was the coolest guy. Woke up feeling good

Insensitive to others: Have human nature
👉Size yourself under stress
👉Utilize your strength & improve your weaknesses
✅️Control vs action
👉People think they only have 60% controls of most things but they actually have 96% control
👉The other 4% is uncontrollable things like diseases, car accidents, etc.
👉Its your mindset that is the factor
👉The opposite is passive individual
👉Dont surrender ownership
👉Its dificult to explain to someone when they are going through tough situations
🌍Its a game changer to realize how much control you have over situations
Lately, selective disowership has really gotten me outta some sticky situations.
I definitely agree with echo on the strength debate. A person with poor genetics can still train themselves into top tier strength capacities (600+ lb squat, 400+ lb bench, 600+lb deadlift) which is something no person on the planet no matter how naturally gifted they are can do without training for it. Having the right genetics is necessary to be in the top 1% but you can still get pretty damn close without genetics and certainly miles ahead of anyone that doesn't train.
BRING BACK BTF TONY!!!

Roger that Had that principle I wasn't making money at my business so I left and got a job and now I make 2wice of wat I make great advice.
Yep, im still cold from years ago I guess. And then the thawing doesn't smell so great, and yes I sweat a lot.. but I'm cleanier, too old, and still have all my limbs, buuutt my feet..
Im a mixture of accepting what you're dealt but also making the best out of it..which isn't the same thing as just accepting it. But i generally am agreeable and dgaf or complain. I'm conditioned to it. if i could come and go at will, a prison cell would be a cozy room to me...i hate too soft of a mattress. Plus the toilet is conveniently close. I like being outside too much to accept prison though

I've been tboned by a dude that went straight through say about 50 and hit me right in the center on the passenger door. It was night and he had lights on and was the only other car on the road. You positively don't have any chance to react - my mind became aware of lights approaching and sent the, "that's odd, investigate" signal a quarter second, half second at most and right then the most violent break of silence followed by two "slides" in my mind - going towards the steering wheel and the drivers side door, and looking out the windshield to see, "f*cking tree."
The airbag deploys and I remember thinking I was going to miss the airbag better l because I was shoved towards the door so violently, or the tree gets me as I fly off the road. There's zero chance you're aware of a car going straight through a red until your brain realizes something is out of place and it's too late to even get your foot off the gas before you're watching your accident in slow motion.

anyone found the PDF for this manual?

Periscope Films on TH-cam. Which I have no affiliation to uploads awesome old military training videos. They are very interesting to watch.
The true warrior will never allow himself to be blown up by grenade, even if his commander put it in his lunch box disguised as an apple he accidentally ingested.
Okay, seriously, I think it does make sense that your personality will be a major factor regarding the final outcome of any situation. And you know what they say, it ain't over until the fat lady sings.
Please help me heal
Friend you CAN heal yourself but it takes effort and speaking personally I find a great deal of help in stoicism, Bushido and the teachings of Buddha, Confucius,Lao Tzu,Marcus Aurelius,Seneca and I draw on Miyamoto Musashi a hell of a lot.
These men of antiquity knew stuff and the advice they give is as viable today as it was in their time. 2 pieces of advice come to mind.....1.LISTEN TO THE COMPASS OF YOUR SOUL.ALL YOU NEED LIES WITHIN YOU.ALLOW YOUR TRUE SELF TO LEAD YOU.
Dokeshi no michi
2.PAIN IS INEVITABLE,SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL.
Buddha
You posses all you need to HEAL YOURSELF so commence,start in,get busy and you CAN do it,you are strong enough and just know there is someone out here rooting for you.
Yesterday i had a dream that Jocko was Adam from the bible, and that Eve his wife messed up by taking the forbidden fruit, he told her,” you want wisdom? Work hard. Don’t cheat your way. Get some.” When i woke up I thought i was in heaven because Jocko-Adam had saved us.
32:13 Gold :D
I say sorry in person ever if I’m not in the wrong. Pushing the cart say sorry or run into someone when they’re not looking. Sometimes I say it to much and I think to myself I need to stop saying that because it makes me look bad. Another resent example I told a random girl she looks beautiful in the parking lot of a mall. I felt like I was a weirdo and say sorry. 0 game 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. also when I’m in the store and I’m going to the same direction and continuous seeing the same girl I feel like maybe she thinks I’m creeping on her when I’m not. However I’m just aware that I keep seeing this same person and she thinks I’m being weird. I’m 23 pretty above average big guy a but chubby and not a bad looking guy but I still think they think that I’m stalking them and trying to purposely follow them but I’m not.
I’m polite, nice and respectful. And an over thinker
Dang.
Me and my daughter....please.
Ice cold 🔥🤣💯
Lol, Hun.. she wants a sunroom with a dog door raised, and the outside of the sunroom has a pet ramp up to that dog door.

think personalities are important, however towards being effective, or working on a team, or leadership
1. it's not who you are, what you say, or what you think about yourself that's important, it's what you do, or suffer for a greater cause, or that ultimately personalities are fake, or what we think of ourselves, not what we are, or what we do
2. personalities tend to run on subjective wisdom, or what people wish, or their tendencies to ignorance, arrogance, or folly, or that one could call it the ' psyche ', or perhaps useless, or relative perspective
3. there's not that much difference between personality, desire, ego, or deception, or that of esp. self - deception, or wishful character thinking, or that respecting personalities, wants, or aversions is towards suffering to the ego, or errant self - perception, or depending on the person, or past
4. people have different layers, or functions of soul, or one could talk of the ultimate perspective, or realities, and ' personality ', or selfish reasoning, perspective, or desire ranks only as level 3, or perhaps 4, or where there are more important faculties, volition, or suffering to causes, or trauma, truth
5. ultimately, or personalities can't decide objective, or important moments, or suffering, or it has to be wisdom, character, or service that does that, or where also prayer is support
6. wanting money, or power tends to be part of people's personality, or one could call that the Devil, or then what is the rest, to be trusted, or honesty
7. people's personality also tends to run on ' popularity ', or what gets me this, or that, or one could talk of a faculty, or degraded soul, or to be careful of decisions that run on that criteria
8. ultimately, the realities we compete with, or to respect are TRUTH, SUFFERING, WISDOM, OR OBJECTIVITY, or that personality, or also subjective character is second to that, or can't decide, write, or review what has to be done, or the necessities, or sacrifices to being true, or gospel

Stoics are heartless
How do you define stoicism?
I disagree we just don't run around with our hands in the air when confronted with an issue.

Think about it.. they look like their heads have already been split, and like they've swallowed another rattlesnake headfirst with the rattler of the one he ate still in its throat.
