He was really good in this one because he seemed to have a stake. Usually when I'm listening to any interview at home, comfortable, I'm always thinking of better questions than the person needing to actively listen. This time, I was like, "Yes! Good question! Yes! Good answer! Yes! Good follow up!"

I respect Jocko a lot. He reminds me of another veteran that changed my life. I always wanted to serve my country and i felt the only way was the military. Only problem was i was born with severe Pectus Excavatum and despite my attempts to play it off, hide it, or undermine it I received a stern NO THANKS from every branch of the military because of it. But in the time i spent talking to recruiters i met one at the Army recruiting office that felt bad for me. He took me under his wing and showed me all the ways i could serve my country without being in the military. He taught me that theres more to being a patriot than the armed forces. because of him i went to college and got a masters in Psychology. Today I work for the Veterans Association providing counseling and therapy to those suffering from PTSD. I owe everything to our service members and Jocko is one of the ones inspiring people like me.
Identifying a problem, and the factors that are failing to produce what they should are both important. But, responsibility is something that must be accepted and applied.
Acute, banks don't crash economies. People do that, and making them accountable would be ideal if we did things that way. Sadly, trying to identify the right ones to put them in prison would be as you put it, a waste of time.
Same. I wasn't in combat arms but I really miss having my best friends around the corner. I took for granted the Marines who I could rely upon for anything. I miss the clowns not the circus.
The sentiment is incredibly relevant to me, because I would stayed 20 years had it not been for one bad officer, who was relieved of command after losing me as his scape goat.
I know I’m 2 years late to the party of this comment section, but just wanted to say a massive thank you for your service! You are appreciated! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
He’s the guy Peterson talks about, which is, be a man that’s extremely dangerous but has the character to harness the sword, until it’s time not to. You should also be able to tell within the first 5min or talking to someone that they’re the type of person you don’t want to mess with.
1. Leadership is made or born? Both! 2. Their are some people that cannot become leaders because of ego and lack of humility 3. OJT - on job training 4. Leadership = ownership 5. Ask, what you can do to improve yourself? 6. As a leader you have to balance. Dont go too far in one direction be balanced 7. Surround yourself with good people that compliment your area where you are weak. 8. All human beings are completely different and yet all human beings are kind of same. 9. The better you understand human nature, the better you lead people! 10. If your leadership is bad or weak, step in and lead but dont step on his tows (never outshine the master) and build relationship with him/her. Thank you very much JOCKO WILLINK 🔥
Jocko, the Republican Congress should bring you in to help them grow a set, they could learn a lot from you. All politicians could learn a lot from you. You have way too much integrity to be a politician so I won't even ask, but you could help strengthen the ones we have. Great job, you give me hope and make me proud to be an American.
id love him to go and beat the shit out of all of them except rand paul and trump. if he wiped the floor with jeff flake and then forced pelosi and waters to lick it up before kicking them in the faces...that would be priceless. id have a boner watching it the entire time.
alexander little Trump is the absolute opposite of Jocko’s principles of humility, education, leading by example, constant self improvement, quiet professionalism, ownership of problems, etc.
I agree. I will say that most people wrongly assume (per hollywood) that the military is a bunch of thick heads that are blunt weapons that love violence for the sake of violence and aren’t booksmart or articulate. Nothing could be further from the truth. Granted a decent percentage the entry level grunts are actually that dumb, but the experienced ones and the leadership aren’t the macho Rambos that know nothing about life besides point and shoot.
Jocko is a very good demonstrator of modern stoicism. Although he has denied in the past that he practices stoicism explicitly, the similarities between the values of stoicism and the way Jocko lives his life are stunning.
ET constant search for self improvement, moderation of indulgent activities such as drinking (which to my knowledge Jocko doesn’t do), and overall maintaining the virtues of justice and courage as well, which I think he demonstrates through his military history.
The point he made about when the veteran separates is so true, at least for me it was. When I got back I was “looking for that next mission” and the civilian world seemed unsure how to address me. It worked itself out but that is a very difficult time for a veteran. It’s a difficult problem to address but it needs addressing.
@Joe Schmo I don't know. I think Ben actually asked really interesting questions. Jocko talking is certainly interesting enough by its self, but I think Ben took it in interesting directions and did a good job of getting out of his way after teeing him up.
If I had a jocko in my life I would always feel so safe and at peace with the world. He is so solid within himself and everyone can feel it around him.
Jocko talks good ol common sense coupled with a well thought out process quite similar to CDT ( cognitive dissidence training or therapy ) . Much of what he says about owning your stuff, finding your strong points, examining your weak points with humility, and using your ego to your advantage, is taught that way. Much of what he's saying isn't new, BUT he's saying to people that have never heard this kind of thing before, never experienced leadership on that level. And it builds that self confidence that some people just don't have naturally. It also builds character and inspires continued learning, both about yourself, as well as other people. Once that light bulb has been lit in 1's mind, they will continue on this thought process path throughout the rest of their lives. Seen it happen, and I humbly say it happened to me. Slackers become doers, Introverts become achievers with good social lives. People that couldn't help themselves, now help others. Great show! Great topic. Great guest!
There are some many people coming out with life advice and philosophies that get a lot of traction because they are current, accessible and trending. Most of these ideas and philosophies are centuries old there is just a time barrier just like there used to be geographical barriers so long ago. I certainly appreciate all these new voices for old philosophies.
Jocko is a reminder that every generation produces exceptional people who serve this great country. There were many before and there will be many after. A warrior class exists in this country .🇺🇸
This man deserves the upmost respect. He is always a very nice and respectful man. More people could learn from him and probably should, would make this country a much better place.
Jocko is a truly amazing, talented, dare I say good man and we are blessed to have him as a fellow citizen. My husband declared this the best interview Ben has done. And thank you to Mrs Willink, btw. We will be listening to Jocko's podcasts! And subscribing to Daily Wire 😉
I think Ben having a more pessimistic view of the country than Jocko isn't too far off actually. Ben goes to college campuses across the US and sees things we don't. The fact that it's hard to bring Shapiro on campus without extreme opposition shows how bad universities are getting.
i go to a junior college in CA and i see how bad it is. holy shit... they are trying to get rid of the republican club for literally no reason other than they dont like that they exist at the school... even some of the teachers are trying to force the administration to shut down the republican club... they protested the club and one stupid bitch had a sign that said, "the republican club laughed at me when i confronted my rapist." like, wtf, bitch? i doubt this chick had even been raped, because her "rapist" is not in prison... what is her excuse? she was embarrassed of how society would view her after? so, she is embarrassed but will hold up a sign in front of the whole school talking about how you were "raped?" yeah, sorry, i hate chicks who falsely accuse others of rape as much as i hate rapists.
@@davidb9779 that is compartmentalized with other countries, when Jocko comes home he sees overwhelming freedom, extremely high quality of life, security, national pride, love for his brothers, and respect for those fallen for the country. It makes sense he would be more optimistic, that’s all the dude was saying. Way to read it wrong.
"Good man" doesn't even begin to describe how great this guy is. Inspirational at the very least. Makes one think about our real potential as a species, given our current confused state.
Extreme Ownership is an amazing book. I liked it so much as an audiobook, that I ended up buying the hardback to put it on my shelf and remind myself to take ownership. It absolutely makes a difference.
One of THE best Sunday Conversations (and that's saying something). Jocko - thank you for your service and thank you for the instruction in leadership!
As an army vet who got to roll with Jocko down in City Boxing in San Diego love seeing this content not only with a bad ass BJJ guy but also veteran and leader.
My life has been through hell recently. What Jocko said at the beginning about taking ownership regardless of past issues or who is at fault really hit hard. I've taken so much damn responsibility in the last 8 months, but people just keep fleeing and it takes a hard situation and makes it worse, now a lot of people could have relied on each other but are more alone. But I do recognize that despite the absolute disaster, most of the worst was averted. Money and time saved, problems resolved much smoother and faster. People prevented from becoming homeless. It's a powerful lesson, and honestly it's a really cold and brutal lesson in trust and reliability through seeing just what happens when people aren't trustworthy or reliable. Sometimes people will turn themselves into monsters for the sake of refusing any ownership. I don't support war or government or authoritarianism- I mean I don't think anybody really wants to, but that doesn't prevent me from recognizing and greatly respecting Jocko's wisdom. And gratitude for him sharing. Military guys really do learn about how serious things can get and specifically what is required to be in leadership.
Jocko is amazing. Even with speaking, he never uses filler words. He'll take a moment and think of what he wants to say, and says it. You never hear him say "um, uh".
"You have to let them brush up against the guardrails of failure." That is a supremely insightful comment. I have to get and read "Extreme Ownership" because I can see myself letting things slide that must get done. My thanks to
Hey Ben, maybe you could try recording your plugs before or after the interview, then splice them in later. That way you wouldn't interrupt the guests train of thought.
The whole show is recorded days if not weeks before it is posted. The "live reads" are done throughout the conversation with the guests present. Many have commented on the advertisements as he reads them, so no, he doesn't.
Jocko brings an intensity that far exceeds what most civilians understand. He is charismatic enough to pull them in and get his point across. He is a solid person. The people that would disagree with his leadership are the people that want to blame everyone else.
Wow. Watching this a year later, his advice on parenting is so spot on IMO. Letting them use the "guard rails of failure" now and then AND "your kids aren't gonna be the ppl YOU want them to be" are so poetic. They can be highly successful within the parameters of THEIR potential and THEIR goals while still being a bit different than what YOU had in mind. I've followed that b4 following Jock and find it SO true, and couldn't be happier w my 14 & 18 yo kids. Great advice.
It is refreshing to watch Ben interview his guests. He doesn't interrupt them, usually follow-ups with excellent questions and keeps it short at the same time. I don't think he gets enough appreciation for being an awesome interviewer.
If you wanna appreciate the good, you gotta see the bad. Check out h3h3's interview with Bill Burr.
He was really good in this one because he seemed to have a stake. Usually when I'm listening to any interview at home, comfortable, I'm always thinking of better questions than the person needing to actively listen. This time, I was like, "Yes! Good question! Yes! Good answer! Yes! Good follow up!"
agreed!
Don’t forget his smooth advertising
Yeah for a moment I thought this was another Jocko podcast.
When Jocko was born the doctor told his mother "Its a man"
Omg thank you for this
God bless 🙏

This is not original. Come on people make YOUR OWN JOKES dont steal jokes

You work for whom?
Blame doesn't clean up the mess. Responsibility does.
Bitter Canticle maybe you’re not blaming hard enough. Take extreme ownership of your lack of blaming.
Identifying a problem, and the factors that are failing to produce what they should are both important. But, responsibility is something that must be accepted and applied.
So if the banks crash the economy sending them to prison would be a waste of time?
GOOD
Acute, banks don't crash economies. People do that, and making them accountable would be ideal if we did things that way. Sadly, trying to identify the right ones to put them in prison would be as you put it, a waste of time.
I'm retired military now, and watching Jocko talk makes me miss working with people of that caliber.

Jocko is a very good demonstrator of modern stoicism. Although he has denied in the past that he practices stoicism explicitly, the similarities between the values of stoicism and the way Jocko lives his life are stunning.
Jay read Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Perfect place to begin when starting a stoicism journey in my opinion
Jay of course. Happy reading on this fascinating topic!!
@Jay daily stoic...sign up for the email
What is it about the way Jocko lives that reminds you of stoicism?
ET constant search for self improvement, moderation of indulgent activities such as drinking (which to my knowledge Jocko doesn’t do), and overall maintaining the virtues of justice and courage as well, which I think he demonstrates through his military history.
Leadership is always key. Someone once said, "I'd rather have an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by a sheep."
This is true, but I would rather an army of lions led by a baby, for the baby considers the future he must live in.
This guy's voice alone is inspiring. Powerful dude.
The point he made about when the veteran separates is so true, at least for me it was. When I got back I was “looking for that next mission” and the civilian world seemed unsure how to address me. It worked itself out but that is a very difficult time for a veteran. It’s a difficult problem to address but it needs addressing.

Ben: Jocko facts don't care about your feelings!
Jocko:Good!
I need this dude to be my alarm in the morning. Good! Good! Dude makes a lot of sense
You can my friend. Check iTunes.
@40:20 - "confident, squared-away, woman." Spoken like a true soldier!
Truly superb interview. Bravo Ben, bravo Jocko.
Jocko's no joke!
And that's that!
As an army vet who got to roll with Jocko down in City Boxing in San Diego love seeing this content not only with a bad ass BJJ guy but also veteran and leader.
Wow... Thank you Ben! Clicked 'like' before watching!
My life has been through hell recently. What Jocko said at the beginning about taking ownership regardless of past issues or who is at fault really hit hard. I've taken so much damn responsibility in the last 8 months, but people just keep fleeing and it takes a hard situation and makes it worse, now a lot of people could have relied on each other but are more alone. But I do recognize that despite the absolute disaster, most of the worst was averted. Money and time saved, problems resolved much smoother and faster. People prevented from becoming homeless. It's a powerful lesson, and honestly it's a really cold and brutal lesson in trust and reliability through seeing just what happens when people aren't trustworthy or reliable. Sometimes people will turn themselves into monsters for the sake of refusing any ownership. I don't support war or government or authoritarianism- I mean I don't think anybody really wants to, but that doesn't prevent me from recognizing and greatly respecting Jocko's wisdom. And gratitude for him sharing. Military guys really do learn about how serious things can get and specifically what is required to be in leadership.
BACK TO THE BOOK!!!!
Good deal Dave??
Dang
Nontheless . . . Brah I know but . . . .ok ok.
I love Jocko. He has made me a better leader and man. Thank you, sir.
I love how Jocko is matching the speed in which he speaks in order to keep up with Ben at times
Thank you for posting the interview. It was a blessing to find his thoughts and beliefs, as a recently retired Soldier, his words provided strength.
Two most motivating words from Jocko in this interview: "That's problematic!"
Jocko is amazing. Even with speaking, he never uses filler words. He'll take a moment and think of what he wants to say, and says it. You never hear him say "um, uh".
That was an EXCELLENT show!!! Kudos Ben!!
"You have to let them brush up against the guardrails of failure." That is a supremely insightful comment. I have to get and read "Extreme Ownership" because I can see myself letting things slide that must get done. My thanks to
Jocko was WILLING, Ben was SHARP
hamster in the machine the norm for both
This deserves a “ha”
I see what you did there. ;-) Nice.
No.
Boooooo
The thing I learned from reading the comments:
Jocko is the new Chuck Norris
Oh yeah, that did happen now, didn't it?
I didn't even notice that I totally forgot about Chuck Norris and Jocko was the subject now 😅😅
Hey, its Jocko in LIVING COLOR!!!!😂
I cannot like this video enough! Jocko is an excellent leader but even better human being. Thank You for your service!
Awesome interview. It would be cool if Ben had Dr. Ravi Zacharias on, that’d be so interesting
I second this!
Absolutely!!!
I fourth it!
And Frank Turek
I mean why not.
Love Jocko so much!! This series is awesome
The second time travel is invented, Ben (2018) should have Ben (2008) on the show.
I think he should interview Jim J. Bullock.

Hey Ben, maybe you could try recording your plugs before or after the interview, then splice them in later. That way you wouldn't interrupt the guests train of thought.
The whole show is recorded days if not weeks before it is posted. The "live reads" are done throughout the conversation with the guests present. Many have commented on the advertisements as he reads them, so no, he doesn't.
Im sure he describes to them what is goin on b4 hand so thst they dont take offense, but thatd definently be a good idea
Jocko brings an intensity that far exceeds what most civilians understand. He is charismatic enough to pull them in and get his point across. He is a solid person. The people that would disagree with his leadership are the people that want to blame everyone else.
Didn't realize they were "talking fast" until Ben pointed it out.
Wow. Watching this a year later, his advice on parenting is so spot on IMO. Letting them use the "guard rails of failure" now and then AND "your kids aren't gonna be the ppl YOU want them to be" are so poetic. They can be highly successful within the parameters of THEIR potential and THEIR goals while still being a bit different than what YOU had in mind. I've followed that b4 following Jock and find it SO true, and couldn't be happier w my 14 & 18 yo kids. Great advice.
Thank you for your service, Sir!
The 2 people I look up to have a conversation together. What more can I ask for ? 10/10 quality.
This was phenomenal.
Jocko was on my guest wishlist for Ben's show and I'm very glad to see it actually happen
Wow, this is one of my favourite conversations on YT. Jocko is a great speaker.
