I love this podcast. I've been trying to implement Extrmeme Ownership for a couple years now and this episode finally crystallized for me what it all is. It's not about leadership or lifestyle, it's about solving problems. It just so happens that leaders are the people in the best positions to solve problems.
Sometimes you dont want to hear the truth because it makes you realize how your whole life is an endless cycle of mistakes. Sometimes it may be better to live with your own lies even though you are just running away
Hi everyone....am from small coutry in central Europe...Czech Republic...this podcast have something strong...Echo Charles and Jocko doing something timeless for me...many subscribes for this...we are here in the byte poly between the USA and Russia, now China ... we need mainly peace ... nothing more ... I watch every podcast of you to understand what you really want ... like the USA ... it's mine thought no more ... a great day to everyone ...This podcast makes sense to think...Thank you...Martin P. Czech Republic Opava :)
"The goal of extreme ownership isn't just to take ownership...it's to solve the problem. The goal isn't to look who to blame, the goal is to get the problem solved " - Jocko. I think this is a really productive way to approach problems, because it encourages a group effort to come up with the best solution. If everyone assumes at least some responsibility for a failure, not even full responsibility, they will be motivated to work on a solution from their unique angle. Put multiple people together, all working from their own angles, and you will have a timely, efficient, effective solution.
Jocko's voice is right up there with Morgan Freemans or the chants of Tibetan monks. It's soulful timbre makes me feel more at peace after I've listened.
This brings me back to when my son would jam with band mates, and this quarantine keeps me from my kids.....has put me in a negative place... can't wait to hear your podcast all the way through
46:01 Poker is an even better analog to the default aggressive mindset. In fact, this is the first thing that I thought of. Many times, I'm too passive and get beat, even when I have a better hand. When I'm aggressive I win more. But as you said, some times I'll take a hit. This pushes me back to being more passive, which is WRONG. I end up losing more vs if I got back to being aggressive and identifying the mistake(s) I made.
One thing that I've found to be true after years of trying to be that shoulder to lean on when times are tough is the idea that people aren't willing to change until the urge to change is greater than the urge to stay the same. Just because they're seeking your advice, does not mean they are ready to implement it. Stay the course, maybe it's your perception that needs adjustment.
Jocko is our real life Chuck Norris. I have a deep found respect for this guy as a persons and most importantly, as a learned leader. We should coin a phrase as " what would Jocko do." Keep up the excellent work sir!
I think an aspect to consider in so far as ownership is the diference between nominal responsability and practical responsability. In that crossroad you could define a contrast between ownership and megalomania.
Jocko I think you are a mind reader. Everytime I'm going through something and boom there's your podcast with help for me to overcome these problems. You are awesome. Thank you sir for your advice and dedication to people. From this marine veteran I say oorah!!!
My band director used to throw saxophone cases at students and pulled his hair out and screamed and the works, no joke. They're rare but they're out there.
Being aggressive and being out of control are two very different things. Aggressiveness is actually more focused and purpose oriented. It should be used to gain a significant victory and position in any adversarial situation. It shouldn't be wasted on unimportant manoeuvres.
I'm agressive but have been subconsciously trying to dull it because those around me got hurt when they went against me. Now I'm too gentle,worry too much if my opponents get hurt, especially in competitive settings which I usually thrive in. In the end its only been making me uncertain in my choices which I am going changing. Thank you once again Jocko,sir.
23:00 What should you do if you have a chain of command and you take EO ( Extreme Ownership ) of a subordinate's mistake, solve the problem, and then later find out that the solution is not enough. It might be incomplete, and you need help, or it might be simply incorrect, or you might have a situation that is over your head. How do you cooperate in these cases with the rest of the chain of command, above you and below you ?
working example: you got The World's Greatest Crossing Guard (RESPECTABLE) directing traffic... but the kids dont listens to him, they listen to a Clown (LIKEABLE) nearby... but the Clown directs em into oncoming traffic, then he tries to stop em but the kids dont take him seriously... but then a cop (FEARED) yells "STOP" and they do,... so yeah.. maybe "it takes a village" :)
Except when someone mistakes a lack of respect for a lack of fear. Respect and fear naturally intermingle in hierarchies of human organizations geared towards a goal, usually domination in some field. Some people try to use fear in personal relationships with strangers or family, but that is not compatible with normal familial bonds. There is no difference between liking someone and respecting them. If you like someone then you will respect their autonomy in some fashion: their comfort or safety around you, their freedom and ability to be themselves and express themselves, and the benefit that you receive when they enjoy their autonomy around you. It is a basic human transaction. Fear will bring the worst out of people in personal relationships. A fear of harm or status loss, like humiliation, or a fear of loss of social standing or loss to access of comfort, is incompatible with respect if it's taken too far. Fear should never be a doctrine for anything personal, and if it is used in human relationships at all it should be used with the understanding that a little of it (fear of joblessness or homelessness or failure) may stress individuals enough towards success. Expectations of respect also have to be reasonable. If you don't give something back to people like kindness, security, joy, trust, whatever else we consider positive, then you cannot expect unwarranted reciprocation (a delusion), or the use of fear to obtain it.
@@hturk5078i agree! although, i think being LIKED and RESPECTED can be different. I might like an unemployed clown but not respect him, and i might respect a snooty nobel prize winner but not like him
@@hturk5078 thanks for replying to my comment by the way.. i sometimes wonder "if a man makes a youtube comment and theres no one there to read it, should he get a life?" :)
People started listening to me more when I decided to f****** be more when I decided that if I talked about something then I f****** did it And then I came back and I said hey I did this and it worked or it f****** didn't look at me I'm a man of my f****** word I've got integrity. I have to f****** accept that some people aren't going to listen and some people are the people that aren't going to listen need to learn their own life lesson You can't teach that You can't make someone learn a lesson in life that they're not ready to learn yet If they're not ready to learn it through you just talking they need to learn it the hard way
The question at 1:14:38 hit home! Been at a new job for 5 months and the last two months i felt like ive Lost early Made relationships. Its not just one but Many and the Guy asking this really felt like ive been. Perhaps because the last two months the bjj gym has been closed due to Corona but still its my responsibility. Great, and i mean real great discussion on that one.
awesome you been listening! I hate to see good people getting picked and they definitely need help . thanks big dawg! I’m definitely not ur enemy! I’m ur FRIEND! doyyyyyy! 😂😜 that was my point!
Ownership = responsibility responsibility the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone. "a true leader takes responsibility for their team and helps them achieve goals" the state or fact of being accountable or to blame for something. ***the opportunity or ability to act independently and take decisions without authorization.*** "we expect individuals to take on more responsibility" a thing which one is required to do as part of a job, role, or legal obligation. responsibility means doing everything in your power to either prevent problems, or provide solutions regardless of other people's negligence and ineptitude for example, responsibility to drive safely and prevent crashes, despite other bad drivers. someone crashes into you, it is their fault, but your child is dead, it is their fault, but it is your responsibility
1:14:38 The nobody listening guy.... that potentially sounds like a kid looking for a gun. I hope not. I also hope they got to the end of what Jocko had to say.
14:46 Say you were to write a script for an advertisement... My brain on memes: *Raid* 14:58 ...Sorry trying to think of something cool. My brain: Raid's hit the sour spot for coolness.
How do I get out of the cycle of being broke? I can't even jog because of my spine. I work six days a week and almost have to quit that job because of my physical problems. I really feel like there's no way I can get a second job. I already don't get enough sleep because I live on my friend's mom's couch in the living room and wake up at 3:30am to go to work. What do I do? Why is working six days a week not enough for a bed to sleep in, or an apartment of my own? I need another job and just don't have the energy. How do I get it?
You can do it. The effects of your hard work just aren’t visible right now. Find a good bed, get some rest, eat some good food and get outside and walk. Walking will help clear your mind and you will see a better way.
@@photon7526 Degenerative Disc Disease... I have two bad ones in my neck so I can't jog or do push ups, and a bad one in my lower back so I can't sprint or lift over 40 lbs.
@@ca8335 How do I find a good bed? I'm not allowed to have one here and I can't afford another place. I can't even walk most of the time because my stomach creates slight priapism which is indecent in public.

What would Jocko do if he had slight priapism when he went to train jujitsu? It doesn't feel right. I don't think I should do anything. Nobody knows what that's like, apparently. I guess I'm the only one with these problems in the entire world. Thanks for trying. I still don't know what to do, but if I ever find a moment where I feel comfortable, then I'll go for long walks, thanks.
So, this extreme ownership. I've been told that you shouldn't blame it on the sunshine or moonlight or good times but that you can in fact blame it on the boogie.... ... thoughts?
No, no, no you guys missed the implied point from that guy’s letter. He was trying to give advice to cats. It took him a year to write the letter cause the cats stepped on his keyboard. Freaking cat “people” are jerks. Poor chap.
i had a dream last night that i almost fought a bjj guy it was super weird because in real life i know for a fact id get wrecked bc i have no chance fighting someone on the ground lol
This podcast literally makes you stronger
and smarter.
Echo’s getting a lot better at contributing to the conversations.
I've listened to a bunch of these and Jocko often doesn't let him in, or plays down his comments. There can only be one alpha I guess.
Oh yeah yeah more like he’s getting after it haha
“Bro brah bro brah bro bro bro brah”- Echo
and looking JACKED
Oh yeah yeah my mans echo doesn’t have to prove SHIT
When Jocko crosses the road the cars look both ways.
I love this podcast. I've been trying to implement Extrmeme Ownership for a couple years now and this episode finally crystallized for me what it all is.

Jordan Vozenilek cool lookin mando pic you got there
Thanks for this, many of us need it.
Also shout out to whoever time-stamps these for us.
1:10:33 "Intention has a strong smell" good quote to remember ...
Who disliked this seriously? This is high quality motivational content. Keep it up jocko and echo!
Johnwaynelsd25 people who don’t wanna take ownership 😣💀
Sometimes you dont want to hear the truth because it makes you realize how your whole life is an endless cycle of mistakes. Sometimes it may be better to live with your own lies even though you are just running away
The guy who said everyone else is wrong, and just got owned by Jocko and Echo?
Extreme ownership essentially sounds like what could "I" have done differently, what will I do differently.
"In the end, time will win, but not right now..."
-Jocko Willink 2020
I agree, Echo is doing much better listening and participating with the conversation.
Echo grew a lot over the years this podcast has been going, great stuff! love it!
The opening to this episode is Powerful!! Listening to it again years after i heard it the first time. Really stuck in me deep down. Luv
I needed this 15 years ago.

Me too, but we can do what we can do today.
NOW is the best momento, let's get it
Me too. But I probably wouldn't have listened.

This was a good one. I liked Echo's counter points and clarifications

Well at least this guy asked. That's a step in the right direction, especially going to Jocko.
Jocko's voice is right up there with Morgan Freemans or the chants of Tibetan monks. It's soulful timbre makes me feel more at peace after I've listened.
HEY JOCKO, ENJOYING THE PODCASTS AS ALWAYS MAN. Much appreciated.
A suggestion, please try to get DAVID GOGGINS on your podcasts.
Cheers
agreed. i suggested that also. I Imagine how good that combination would be
Man I wish, but I remember reading that Jocko did not like Goggins much.
Echo Charles is such a G. So glad he is on this podcast
This brings me back to when my son would jam with band mates, and this quarantine keeps me from my kids.....has put me in a negative place... can't wait to hear your podcast all the way through
My son plays drums
The first hour spent looking at my biceps, comparing it to echo

I watched this on the TV while I sat on the couch and aggressively ate jellybeans.
41:20 "and then we started taking casualties"... you just picture people falling over and the leader is like "uh oh"
Real physical fitness will give you all the confidence you need.
Awesome, thanks for the PODCAST fellas!!!
Love listening to these guys. Therapeutic for me. So many people could use their advice!

Jocko’s voice equalizer is high bass low EVERYTHING ELSE.
He has bass in real life. Breaks glass when he yawns
listening to Jocko on a good hifi system you need to turn down the bass setting
I enjoy your common sense suggestions. You make good sense. THANKS, BROTHER.
yay 11pm upload but its jocko so ima hear it and stay up
Loved the reflection on music in the beginning
I love how Jocko conducts many of these podcasts while sometimes holding a knife--As if he wasn't intimidating enough unarmed...
What you don't see is that he's slicing up snacks, probably something high protein.
“There’s not too many hyper aggressive music teachers” 😂🤣
Definitely necessary while I finish these essays
Masterpiece ❤

The most hardcore Jocko intro if you ask me.

Ownership = responsibility
responsibility
the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone.
"a true leader takes responsibility for their team and helps them achieve goals"
the state or fact of being accountable or to blame for something.
***the opportunity or ability to act independently and take decisions without authorization.***
"we expect individuals to take on more responsibility"
a thing which one is required to do as part of a job, role, or legal obligation.
responsibility means doing everything in your power to either prevent problems, or provide solutions
regardless of other people's negligence and ineptitude
for example, responsibility to drive safely and prevent crashes, despite other bad drivers.
someone crashes into you, it is their fault, but your child is dead,
it is their fault, but it is your responsibility
Expectations are delayed, inevitable, resentments. Read that again and understand the words. You're welcome
