Jocko Podcast 307: Don't Love Your Chains, Even if They're Made of Gold.

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

Discipline is freedom.

[@codyzimmer9257]

I agree. I believe our Joy comes from having discipline. It allows us to have a vision.

I really wish these were still closed captioned. I am deaf and love the books. Most of the early podcasts are captioned. The last 2 to 3 months have not been.

Someone should shoot echo a tweet? I'm sure he would hop right on it, if he realized it was an issue. There's probably a ton of people that would really appreciate that.

Subtitles also help foreigners understand unfamiliar words. 1:29:20 We have no "sir" expression in Finnish language. I was called sir for the first time in my life, when I traveled to the Philippines.

Did they disable the auto generated CC? If I’m not mistaken, those are usually available.

In SAC (Strategic Air Command), we had a saying. 'Reward for a job well done was minimal punishment'. I could tell you some stories. My second Aircraft Commander, when he was a copilot, was brought up on charges of munity for rightfully following three engine takeoff data on a training mission and was told he could face the death penalty. True friggin story. The ridiculous case was dismissed, after he and the navigator, also brought up on same charges, hired a civilian lawyer. The AC was an Academy graduate. Both were outstanding officers and operators. Both separated after their first term of service was complete.

[@ViolinViolaMasterclass]

Jordan Peterson’s books (as most of you know!) talks about the importance of walking the thin line between Chaos and Order and that the process of doing that actually CREATES someone with character and skill. The daily tight rope walk of balancing the dark with the light will make you or break you

[@patrickoberem9109]

Jocko this book is awesome! I love the analysis your team brings. It's difficult to quantify how valuable your podcast is. Hopefully our young leaders are deeply immersed in all your podcasts. Our enemies should fear the collective value you bring. My family is better off for your input. My son listens quietly every now and then ( carefully chosen sections of the show that just happen to be on when I pick him up from Crossfit.). A thinking man is a dangerous man indeed.... Love your input Echo if your'e the only one reading this.... Obviously Dave is a crazy smart legend!

[@domhouse1]

@jocko - would love you to expand on the “Competitive being good” thing more. As someone who was highly competitive myself - i know first hand it comes with a lot of costs. Ego, can’t accept criticism, Needing to win every argument, constantly comparing yourself to those around you (trying to look good relatively rather than focus on your own performance), setting up everything into a competition often at the expense of relationships. Competitiveness is masking a need for security - I need to ‘stand out and be seen’, people’s self worth rides on winning or losing. Ultimately it’s an external driver - a need to impress others and therefore they have control over you. Instead of Competitive Lets think in Achievement terms: a focus on my own performance excellence, achieving self set standards (rather than a relative ‘competitive’ one), focusing on the long term objective and breaking it down into steps rather than a just a short term focus. A focus on performing the process well rather than exclusively on the outcome. If we do these things well then we will get the results - we’ll win in competitive situations but that isn’t what drives us. Maybe this is what you are saying when you say “competitive is good” because I know you also wrote an entire chapter on “check your ego”. But Would be really interested for you to go further into the topic of having a “competitive mindset” vs an “Achievement” mindset as described above.

[@joepetto9488]

Its strange how in the age of melee combat from the Paleolithic onward to the 1600s, male fighters had long hair. Yet in the age of kinetic weapons and distance fighting short hair became prominent. The first instance of cutting hair in a military was in Alexander's army when they had the Macedonian men (who came from loosely related hill tribes) all cut their hair down to the same length, the reason being to give them a sense of uniformity.

[@connor1402]

35:00 I'm a pretty average guy, but I have never thought men needed admiration or appreciation. I always thought real men did what was necessary regardless of the rewards, kind words, and blessings. The stuff about women seems like malarkey as well. Although, a warm plate of food is appreciated after a long day.

There was once a talk where Jocko was talking about how he met a young CEO and he felt a little intimidated and the guy was a bit brash too...then Jocko detached and dealt with it and turns out the guy was also intimidated by Jocko. Does anyone know where this was from?

That could be the case, we have the insular cortex which wires disgust into moral judgement. So if we have a moral consensus against fleeing and failing to prevent the tribe from being attacked, disgust can cause shame, and so be a catalyst for a tribal code of honour.

1:37:49 to 1:43:04 would be a good excerpt. never forget how you got there. You are not superior. Or stay humble

[@ViolinViolaMasterclass]

It’d be neat to hear you discuss the contrast between certain historical leaders…for example certain conquistadors like Cortez and Navarez…the first being an incredible leader and the second responsible for ruining an entire expedition😬 or General Lee and Grant two amazing American leaders…or even some of the Original Texas Rangers who had to adapt their warfare to the times.

Second

[@defenderofwisdom]

I mean much like any major academic, he was right and wrong about a whole schlew of things. Outsider looking in... But just like the Spartans didn't know how to use corps or machine guns, when you're earlier to the game you make more mistakes. Like you said earlier, we tend to want to promote the generals who made no errors than the successful ones who made errors. But this doesn't accommodate that errors are part of a move towards academic knowledge just as they are part of the movement towards military success. Blanket assuming everything Freud said was wrong will lump what he was right about into the wrong category. Besides that, *many* medical and legal professionals do cocain. Hell: "Nearly 36% of physicians enrolled in physician health programs suffer from opioid abuse." According to other sources, substance abuse problems among doctors and nurses account for the highest workforce addiction rates.

[@ETHANR26]

lol are you really defending Freud? he was a prick, and not a good source of information or research. Sure, being a coke head isn't a valid criticism, but PRESCRIBING cocaine as a cure all - is a helluva different story.
