One thing I like about this guy is that he has a healthy sense of perspective. His civilian wife freaks over a simple scheduling conflict for an evening out, and he's got enough on the ball to tell himself "If this is the worst thing my wife has to deal with, I did something right." A lot of people, they don't have that perspective and it makes their lives... not pleasant.

[@quentinham5908]

That was a huge take away for me personally, i get frustrated over the stupid split milk bullshit my wife is always freaking the fuck out over. But his outlook is the correct one that i need to adopt.

[@pippetandpossum]

I have a tendency to feel frustrated with people over that too. It's something I'm working on but I'm such a wise-ass and feel the need to say "wow, if that's the biggest problem you're dealing with, you're doing great!" Which is true but that doesn't mean I need to say it

Dude is on point. I remember patrolling Iraq and certain parts were over joyed to see Americans on the streets. People don't hear that very often. Ya we damn sure had enemies. One time we were just finishing a fire fight and the neighbors brought us food and thanked us for getting rid of those assholes. This is why I've always been torn on refugees. The enemy will find a hole and use it to bring the war here.

[@keats182]

It was funny to see how uncomfortable Jocko got when Dave asked him about his politics. I don't think he wants those labels because it will make it difficult for some people to hear his over all message. The second he says he is a Republican 50% of the population is nearly guaranteed to tune out.

[@gaguero95]

if he loses a fan based on his choice of political party, they were never really a fan. The man is brilliant. Smart people can overlook politics and see character

[@keats182]

But he also doesn't want that to be a possible distraction. After listening to him for a while, he is all about building relationships and not doing things that interfere with the mission. If there is a chance that getting political can interfere with his message then he probably wants to avoid it.

Extreme ownership is a great book

[@alanfike]

A warning for anyone reading this [that is to say, everyone who is reading this comment should read Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink]: he kinda writes it for the white-collar, out-of-touch corporate executive, many of whom I presume to be in a rut with their company simply because they're out of touch. Well, what this means is, it comes off a bit like a children's weekly reader. In his defense, he structures the chapters very concisely, with an introduction, a story, the lesson and how it applies to, well, corporate America I guess. But I argue that *MOST* of us aren't stuffy, out-of-touch corporate executives who have picked up the book to maybe apply his lessons to our own lives, to attaining our own dreams and goals. So ultimately, expect Extreme Ownership to *sometimes* sound like he's over-explaining some things, or that the lessons are custom-catered to these executive types. Which, again, in his defense, those are the people with whom he spoke in putting together the lessons for the book. It really turned me off, though, and I can't really put my finger on why but "patronizing" seems like an accurate sense that I get. I think if I knew this going in, I would have finished it by now. Instead, it's collecting dust because I've been putting it off. The fact is: Jocko doesn't think we're stupid. He was just trying to make his stories and lessons vividly clear, which he does, and it's an amazing book for that.

[@110gotrek]

@@alanfike Pretty much. Just don't read it as your only book as an executive. It has thrilling stories to convey it's messages. But it boils down to some basic principles which every decent executive already knows of.

It's really not difficult to point out what's wrong in office hierarchies. They put people directly into management roles who have no idea what goes on below them and no interest in learning. Then those people do the old "We're going to do things my way because that's how I justify my salary." and become impediments to efficiency. You can't tell them "But I've been here 20 years and I do things this way for a reason." Imagine the army making someone a drill sergeant who's never even been through basic training and you know how the office world works.

[@dougn4709]

And Jocko would say to the employees that have to deal with those bad managers: "Good. Now take on more responsibility and lead up the chain." Crappy offices are crappy offices due to bad leaders/managers and due to bad subordinates who just bitch and moan and don't do anything about it. Don't be a victim, be an agent of change.

[@tarn1135]

That’s somewhat true. When I took over the management of an office I spent the first month learning everything they did up till then. I talked to the people who were their the longest to see what they thought and what they would like to see changed, after I implemented changes not all of them were what the people wanted but at the end of the day that office worked and wasn’t circling the drain. Most important thing I think is having an open door policy, people always work harder when they think they can speak without the worry of retaliation.

It would be a mistake to paint Willink as a partisan. He has his unique views like anyone else. If he were interested in making political pronouncements, he is perfectly capable of doing it on his show. And yet he doesn't. Because like most of us who aren't following politics like it's a reality soap opera, especially those of us who follow Willink's example, have OTHER occupations. I used to be a field manager at a grassroots office. There are plenty of ways to be active in political issues, but they're work, so people stick with the chatty chat social media. I get the compulsion, but I don't see Jocko doing either of making political pronouncements on his Twitter page, nor has he brought up any political involvement on his podcast. It's safe to say: to drag Jocko Willink on a right-wing podcast, expecting that he has any intention of promoting the Libertarian fairy tale that men with Richard Spencer haircuts have evoked for us with their tiki torches in Charlottesville, is to find.. *ANOTHER* thing coming.

Chrypto they won’t be circling back around to his specific topic of interest..

[@goldenzettah1345]

He talks about that first question on his podcast. Specifically, he answers a question about “Nature or Nurture?” on Jocko Podcast #20, at 2:06:35.

@@goldenzettah1345 thanks!

[@number1pappy]

I for one am very thankful their are people like this guy in our military. He is just one peg that makes our military the best in the world. Its comforting knowing our military has the ability to defend us when our govt polititions fuck things up!

[@annrynkiewicz5075]

I enjoyed that. Thank you Dave. Even the hard stuff about Iraq was insightful. I wish they would have shown the whole thing.

[@Don_SoLow87]

I see Jocko Willink, I click play. No questions asked.

[@normaandersson]

I ❤️ Jocko! Great interview

[@NickyAztec]

I love seeing jocko speak quickly and loudly, it's a good change of pace from his podcast

[@auntpurl5325]

Please bring Dan Crenshaw on.

[@Bolter024]

You mean real life Solid Snake ? 🤔

[@sferrin2]

Crenshaw has been on Jocko's podcast. (And Rogan as well IIRC.)

[@HoneyBadgerofDeath]

@@sferrin2 He wasn't on JRE actually

[@Garrus1995]

Fuck yes. Dude is a real life Nick Fury/Solid Snake and I’d love to hear him be candid with Dave for an hour or so. He’s the real fresh face in Congress I want to hear from.

[@TheOriginalEdFry]

Dude has 3 Adult Books, 3 soon to be 4 Kids Books; I feel like he needs 3 YA Ones then 3 Senor Citizen ones once he's in his Golden Years and he'll have a Novelists Grand SLAM! I gotta find some of those.

[@BennyJeters]

Edward Fryrear surprised none of the lefties aren’t on his ass for not writing a transgender book.

[@Durchii]

And did I hear at the beginning of the podcast that he's collaborating with Jordan Peterson on a book?! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[@BennyJeters]

Durchii ugh no.. open your ears and turn on your brain. They will be releasing their own separate books..around the same time

[@wib6044]

Just started listening to jocko regularly a couple months ago. Even though I heard his 1st Tim Ferris podcast, it didn’t really resonate. Funny how that happens😑. Super duper cool guy.

[@theknowlodge8294]

Love Jocko. Powerful.

[@danielhalwix7151]

Dave just made my morning 10x better, been wanting this for so long. Thank you.

[@MagicMarker447]

I like Jocko's answer to the politics question way better than just saying he is some group.

[@billgreathouse1913]

That's the way a true patriot thinks. He would make a great statesman if he could survive the frustration of being surrounded by narcissits, and predators. I dare say that would be the hardest challenge of his life.

[@NotDecided420]

A student, a teacher, and a legitimate badass!!! "When somebody has taken a hostage, generally they're considered a threat, and at that point, they need to die!" Jocko on Captain Phillips.

[@Gobblerster]

this dude looks like a straight up BAMF.... love it

[@stillhear6878]

They could have made this discussion even more interesting and entertaining by ending it with a friendly arm-wrestling match.

[@Soulseeologia]

Still Hear he should pull john brazink or Devon Larrieett special forces and WAL champ 💪🏽

[@xObscureMars]

Jocko take complex thing, make it simple thing, do it loud, make good leader. Drags nuckles

[@ksytsma4realyo]

These interviews, once a month or two old, should see syndication on Netflix or Amazon Prime, etc. Dave is incredibly good at interviewing, especially people he might disagree with.

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

BACK TO THE BOOK!!!!

[@BobBilheimer]

When Jocko was discussing the similarities between Navy Seals and CEOs, and the people in general, it reminded me of some lyrics of a song that I heard when I was a kid. People are people so why should it be You and I should get along so awfully

[@ianprado1488]

Leadership is everything. Someone once said, "I'd rather have an army of sheep led by a lion than an army of lions led by a sheep".

[@evanzeller2304]

"Jocko has no competition"- no truer words have ever been spoken

[@thurleif]

God Damn. My eyes just recently opened in regards to Jocko, to just now discovering he even has written and published books! So happy about that, love reading so definitely gonna check out his titles and decide which to buy first.

[@petrospavlidis7747]

Discipline equals freedom: field manual is short and for improving yourself generally. Extreme Ownership is about leadership and The dichotomy of leadership is part 2 of that.

[@AFuller2020]

Leadership is not the answer, having attentive, intelligent people who are willing to listen and work together is paramount.

[@Dero_milsurp]

Alvin Fuller leadership is always the answer. Having those people without a leading member is useless.

[@skorathereckless6449]

The best government educator the military.

[@Xpistos510]

Skora the Reckless, true. But so are NASA training programs, and other trade-oriented training programs. But aside from the federal military academies that award bachelors, there are some prestigious/quality State Universities that don’t get enough credit by mainstream folks - like UCLA, TAMU, ASU, Rutgers, UVA, UMich, UCB, William and Mary, GIT, UTex, UCDavis, UCONN, UNC, Baruch, SUNY, CUNY, Temple, VMI, ASU, and others. So it’s not so much a matter of whether it’s government, but whether the curriculum is useful, necessary, regulated, and run by QUALIFIED and experienced educators. But I agree with your premise, the military is one of America’s best educators. I CAN testify to that as one who serves. I just don’t think that civilians should NEED a rigorous, authoritarian style education to need a good one. Nor should they need to waste hundreds of thousands on an elitist waste of time like Harvard. The Ivies are too overrated considering you can get a good education elsewhere.

[@rsanoian]

I watch at least one Jocko you tube video a day, keeps me grounded and motivated. Thank you Sir!

[@jacobshaffer7700]

Well happy birthday to me! Jockos my favorite!

[@trevormichel1319]

I've binged a lot of Jocko's videos and this man says "Dichotomy" way too much

[@DragonSlayer-ho4mi]

Love it...”I’m retiring”, “I’ll give you money”, .....eyes roll, smiles...”O.K.”. Lol

[@Moneyman-33]

Jocko needs to stock his merch store I been waiting forever to get some Tshirts and pomegranate white tea.

[@TheBear9000]

I thought you said “get some tshirts and impregnate my wife”

[@Moneyman-33]

TheBear Sounds like projecting. Maybe you should watch less porn.

[@americanmambi]

Careful with the white tea, your deadlift will go through the roof and may suddenly develop thick manly chest hair and a full beard....

I work for a sheriff's department, we have poor leadership. Do as I say not as I do is there moto .

[@Doxymeister]

Be the leader your leaders are not. You sound like a good candidate--take Jocko's advice and you could be the next sheriff!

[@CJP-oz6hr]

Excel at what you can do and hopefully you can change their attitude/mindset. Whether it’s a good ole boy system or crisis management, or micro management....alway improve your skills. Granted...it may get to a point you mentally can’t stand it and it starts to effect you and your performance. If it reaches that point....it’s time to move on.

[@Smaltese93]

Watch his podcast for advice

[@rickrudd]

I work with many different Sheriff's departments. It's one of the only areas where I am not sure democracy is is the best choice. I think we'd be better off if a board of supervisors appointed the most qualified candidate. What I see are a bunch of good old boys who are essentially responsible to no one. Some departments are sloppy from A to Z.

Take an English lesson like Jaco did so you don’t look like an idiot... their, there, they’re... there’s a big difference get it right 🇺🇸

[@Enjoy_my_1st_Amendment]

Its nice to listen to a fellow MAN!!!! Instead of the blabbing from so called "men" society produces today. 1, Stand up for something and do not back down from your beliefs! 2, Cultivate humility and sow gratitude! 3, Keep putting one foot in front of the other and repeat steps 1and 2 tirelessly!
