Brilliant contrast between Jocko Willink and Echo Charles. Geniunely feels like Echo is the viewers voice in the podcast while Jocko is the messenger. Keep it up, really interesting stuff.

[@TheRockyraccoon]

It was definitely a good move having a non military guy as a co host. I think he helps Jocko remember that us civilians don't know a lot about the intricacies of small unit tactics

[@chrish.959]

Echo is a pretty smart dude but I'm definitely gettin the Redban vibe from him lol

[@tehkoalainsurgency]

This podcast needs more subscribers... or rather, potential subscribers NEED this podcast.

[@7chicano]

Boss man...your comment aged BEAUTIFULLY 😉 Lol I myself am starting over after finally catching up to podcast 359 (Mikey mansoor)..I'd say Jocko has gained a tad bit of subscribers lol

[@0num4]

Discipline = Freedom. Mental discipline = Mental freedom. Free your mind.

[@0num4]

Did Echo just quote an En Vogue song?

[@dogeyes7261]

"Self destruction isn't rebellion" is lesson many people need to learn

[@Carloss86py]

Jocko, about an hour and a half in you said “I feel I don’t help people enough.” I can only talk about myself and I can’t really explain how much you have and are helping me even though I have only just started listening to your material.. Learning from you will make me a better person and I know I will help a lot of people too eventually.. So directly and indirectly I'm sure you ARE helping A LOT of people. Thank you!

[@papaw2937]

I second this comment, Carlos, a year later..

[@israelmungenast4206]

I third this comment, multiple years later.

[@chrisgeorge8664]

Same, many years later

[@GauravKumar-ue7nz]

5 years since this comment

[@AminJorge]

I'm disappointed that it took me this long to find such a great channel.

[@marcel5125]

Good. You found it. Now get after it!

[@tylerdunkleberger9438]

[@Music7ube]

still, it was 2 years ago and not today. great job. keep getting after it!

[@michaelf1137]

Welcome aboard.

[@kelleninalink]

Trash can lid and mercury... I was laughing all day... thanks for spreading the joy!

[@kaelhyland3122]

The ending gave me chills, I’m fired up right now

[@edgerat]

good.

[@timmyengelbrecht8566]

This really hit home. I've started a business with my art and this encouraged me to give up control over chaos and failure and just control what I can

[@orionwebster8727]

I love how towards the end of the podcast Jocko starts talking about basically the first chapter in the 48 laws of power or "never outshine the master".

[@awtozer9255]

GOOD, this needs to be an excerpt video. Best stuff I've ever heard on overcoming adversity and setbacks. If that doesn't put some fire in your belly nothing will. 1:44:34

[@super.hero.landing]

I got some news for you.

[@DaddySixNine]

Another great podcast, time for #4.

[@johnhooper8211]

Outstanding. Big thanks to Jocko and Echo for the podcast. Please continue...:)

[@voidanium]

The answer of the last question. (1:44:33) Is just amazing. I am still replaying that part, whenever things go bad. Thank you!

[@frinkpoofer3375]

this podcast was GOOD

[@arsplastiques]

These two are so good together. Echo is a perfect foil to Jocko. Love hearing this balanced dynamic.

[@scotttorchik1832]

Easiest way to be disappointed by people is to expect them to understand you, treat you like you would them, etc.

[@DevilFrog61]

And then when you actually find a cool person it's not expected and it's appreciated even more. Gotta make sure you keep looking for the good in people, because if you lock your mind on the pattern of bad then you risk letting those awesome people slip past you unnoticed.

[@scotttorchik1832]

+DevilFrog61 I'm always looking for good people to be around, especially those that will hold me accountable and push me to be a better person in all aspects of life.

[@dogeyes7261]

My rule of thumb is always treat people like I want to be, and if it's obvious they are no good, I just don't invest in them and protect my own interests.

[@MrAxecius]

Love your podcasts bro keep it up :)

[@AsdeEspadas.Fernando]

Starting to listen the podcast again, from start to finish.

[@thefinalgrind]

ECHO! I know you already revised the "Good" segment at the end. You should do it one more time without the overlay of the added music. Every time I share the "Good" i just forward the 3rd episode and tell them to forward to min 144. I just feel that the words are enough. Keep it up man. You're doing great

[@chrish.959]

Been listening since episode 90, only recently came to the beginning. A real relief listening to Jocko's perspective, cant help but want to go paintballing now.

[@jzjitsu]

Great podcast!

[@madman12377]

Look at Stephen Hawking, a man savaged by an awful disease and weak in the body. But with one of the most brilliant minds ever put on earth. A man who single-handedly advanced our knowledge of the known universe, a hero

[@jaasscha2476]

GOOD excerpt at 1:44:32

[@jazminjones9513]

Thanks my friend! I have something to bring to work now!

[@destroyerinazuma96]

This is amazing

[@Johnhealey-]

Epic. I have come back to this again. Cheers lads. Johno. Sydney

[@aikishugyo]

It's very interesting stuff! Manouevre warfare seems like customer-centric service (focus outward), and then the company still have the paraphernalia of attrition warfare: no decetralized control, no training so cannot handle locally or follow intent based on broad guidance, etc. Seems pretty easy to fix when explained. Loved all the excellent points discussed in this podcast, so many hit home-runs with me, especially the illusion of control.

[@BradPitbull]

THANK U ECHO THANK U JOCKO

[@alex.strongstrong2951]

I loved it

[@davidweaver9518]

Echo Loves the spilled milk analogy, like its the end all of his personal philosophy.

[@mariojorge9529]

Thank you!

[@R_Rico.]

@ 33:30 Echo is about to break out into song!!! 😂😂😂 so funny!!

[@dsminwf1]

It’s great to hear Mark Rippetoe’s name mentioned. I’ve been a member of his original gym ( The Wichita Falls Athletic Club) for about 26 years. Mark knows his stuff!

[@THELASTRID3R]

Good evening Echo

[@sodomousprime]

The famous GOOD, I started from the start and I was wondering what number podcast it was going to show up in.

[@paulwilkie1732]

It came in early, no? I noticed that with a few podcasts. People who are podcasting today are known well for the content of their much earlier podcasts. Sounds stupid simple having typed it out, but I stand by it : )

[@alexmajor6579]

These old jocko podcasts dont have video... GOOD

[@OneEyedDrummerTDHE]

3 lessons in to the class of Joko, heres to a long and productive career in security leadership

[@BdByfull]

1:44:35 Just a reminder for my favorite part :)

[@petemacarthur]

Even better when remixed by Akira the Don! G O O D .

[@6inchvoices]

The end of this podcast gave me goosebumps....good.

[@chrysaliscamps3838]

"You've failed.. what did you learn? What can we improve" 1:00:00... Love it :). It reminds me of "Principles" from Ray Dalio where he speaks of idea meritocracy in the workplace regardless of "power" position.. When top leaders of different fields say the same things in different ways, I guess we better start paying attention ^^... Thanks Jocko and Echo for an other great talk !

Jocko Podcast 3 ✅ Lesson Takeaway: GOOD 1:44:45

49:10 is that another way of saying "the only constance is change" or "change is the only thing that never changes"

[@namdaten]

1:44:30 Legendary moment "Good"

[@jamestillotson3401]

"When things are going bad. GOOD"

[@chaseboudreaux5514]

So this is where the legendary "good" speech came from

[@jackfromboston69]

"A trash can lid and some mercury" - Echo Charles

[@mainstay35]

I feel like John Cena is trying to be Jocko.

[@DanChalifouxable]

Alec Calzada that's ok. I'm trying to be like Jocko. I'm sure a lot of people are. And I'm sure Jocko is trying to be like a lot of people. We should always expose ourselves to people and try to learn from one another as much as we can. That's how we grow. Bruce Lee - 'Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.'

[@Shirubain]

FREE YOUR MIND !!!!!!

[@cojojojo8964]

Haha Echo that was a pretty wacky analogy!

[@LP-yc7mr]

Robert Corum, "Col. John Boyd" EM theory and OODA Loop.

[@iamhectorsan]

Good.

[@Ninj-gw1qu]

Funny how a lot of these concepts I have come to realize on my own, read in Chinese Buddhism or read in things written by Bruce Lee.

[@Nmdresser]

Very interesting - in one of the Podcasts with Tim Ferris as a guest on the show, Jocko states that he came to a lot of the conclusions Marcus Aurelius came to (one of the forefathers of Stoicism) through life experience - Aurelius just discovered these truths hundreds or thousands of years prior. Probably similar concept to Chinese Buddhism - once you find your path you come to realize these universal truths.

[@kiddarice]

Been mentioned already but "and when your computer host in a show comes up with an example of trash can lids and mercury..." :-)

[@evanater13]

1:44:44 Good.

The "Good" speech: 1:44:43

[@jaysonscaccia3188]

There is also asymmetrical warfare used very effectively by the taliban in Afghanistan Look it up if you care. Uktanian forces also use this in fighting the Russians.

[@cehson]

I'm more of a sponge than spongebob listening to what guys are saying.

[@dennis20320]

This is one of the best podcasts for managers of people in business. Jocko’s review of book The Last 100 Yards is similar to David Marquet’s Turn The Ship Around in how they approach leadership. Great lessons!

[@danieltoft2116]

The last 100 yards belong to the Infantry

[@defdef1354]

So I think that the best time to really allow someone to make mistakes is early on in whatever they are learning. That's when you should let them know and ask them what they've learned. But if it continues on and on and on I think that's where you should allow them to suffer for repeatedly making the same mistake. Just a thought Sincerely, some random moron.
