Jocko Podcast 333: Excuses and Rationalizations are Not Valid... And We Know That. W/ Dan Cnossen

[@patrickpolizzi7]

I am a nurse. For nearly all of my 27 years of practice, I've worked in and around critical care. Jaco, you mentioned how quickly a person can bleed out from a Femoral artery is so true. The fact that our soldiers who have their legs blown off, arms blown off, or legs and arms blown off, and additionally, the concussive, force trauma that accompany such wounds, is overwhelming. Yet, so many of our soldiers survive. This is a testament to our military corpsmen and medics. It's also a testament to how much mercy is shown to all brave soldiers around the world by God the Father. It really boggles my mind.

2:48:00 I am an airline captain. We are trained that when an emergency happens, after we carry out the memory items and ensure the plane is safe, to hand the controls over to the First Officer and put the seat back because it opens up our field of vision and lets us see the whole cockpit and, with the bigger picture, allow us to more effectively manage the problem.

[@TampaBayJay45]

I had the privilege of meeting and talking with Dan for a few minutes last week. What an incredibly inspiring individual he is. He is also miraculously blessed to have had the team with him whose quick action saved his life. Heroes, all.

[@spylingual8573]

I love hearing about jockos mentality in buds and early on. We owe a lot to men like him. They're a different breed

[@pickititllneverheal9016]

I love this channel because REAL heroes are recognized and honored. There ain't none of that kneeling shit going on. Jocks channel gives us all , no matter what age, heros to look up to. Keep em coming.

[@usmcmma]

Listen to this podcast reminded me of "eating souls". On humps or runs or tough PT sessions I used to see someone drop and I'd pretend I just ate their soul as fuel to keep going. I used to love watching people drop because it fueled me. Really helped for those drunk formation runs at 4am.

[@allenculbertson8170]

God bless Dan Cnossen thank you for sharing your story and for serving this very greatful nation. I personally am very grateful not only for all that you have done. But also for those whom have gave the ultimate sacrifice. May God for ever and ever bless these brave men and women of the United States Military. 🇺🇸 Jocko Willink and Echo Charles thank you for bringing these stories to life for us who would have never known. I salute you all sincerely and with the utmost respect 🙏

[@NatKnow]

This has been the best Jocko podcast yet. It’s not the most exciting. But it is the most motivating, and I don’t even have a physical disability. I’m just am aging guy with no military background with a warrior spirit for life. This guy is an amazing operator, and athlete. He has lived his recent lives life by “prioritize and execute” and I’ll add and be calm with that Buddhist life learning.

Thanks for the inspiration, Dan. You high performers are not only mentally strong , but also emotionally strong. I can't wait to read your book.

[@Blox_Dad]

Oh dude, I was a sea cadet in high school before joining the army. It was an awesome little program that gave me just a taste of what military life was like.

[@david_4739]

What a privilege to get an in-depth insight into the lives of these higher beings. In awe at these outstanding human beings and feeling pretty pathetic about my own complaints and limitations..

[@dogbuggy32]

I grew up next to a Vietnam vet Marine corps. Paraplegic never once heard him complain. Salt of the earth. Thanks for letting me hangout

[@johncook7364]

Got Covid yesterday. Laying here feeling sorry for myself. Just listened to Dan’s story now I’m ashamed

Hey John 👵🏽👋🏾🦅🔥🦅🙏🏽🦅🔥🦅 Prayer sent!

[@simonnizerontheroad]

I must say that feeling sorry for yourself for catching the flue is quite pathetic, so I wholeheartedly understand how listening to Dan’s story must make you feel…

[@amyrenee1361]

First of all, you can feel sorry for the hits you take, because they are YOURS. Nobody else is feeling your pain, and nobody else is in your shoes. So you don't need to feel sorry for anyone else, and you are allowed to feel sorry for yourself. With that said, you don't stay in that mode. You feel the pain, cry , complain a little - but you keep moving forward. Catch and release. You can say "this sucks". Just don't let your whole life suck. Don't carry that self pity. Once you start ignoring your very real pain and acting like your experience doesn't matter because someone else has it worse, you are on a downward trajectory. YOU matter at all times. You're here to live YOUR life, not anyone else's. Having COVID sucks. People have died from COVID-19. Some have died from the flu. What are we going to do? Say our pain doesn't matter because at least we aren't dead? Get THROUGH your bad moments rather than denying them. Don't lie to yourself. Deception, in any form, leads a man/woman to ruin

[@StevenSsamba]

Well said...right there at 50:25.......there is indeed an inner strength that is developed by confronting something that is uncomfortable. I will take that home and practice it more and more. It helps to conquer fear and vulnerabilities and insecurities.

[@mikelonde9567]

Thank you for this podcast and the story. I am an older guy with some issues. I seek out stories like this to see how others have met their challenges and try to use it to help keep myself driving to overcome my problems.

[@mattmarquardt9181]

That makes two of us.

[@nicholasplescia2438]

2:11:00 Dan is alluding to a medication called succinylcholine which is a neuromuscular blocking agent used by anesthesiologists to produce paralysis in order to facilitate intubation with an endotracheal tube to control breathing throughout a surgery. A concern with using this medication is a release of potassium, which, if the patient’s potassium is already high could lead to fatal cardiac arrhythmias and even death.

[@chrisstewart7078]

Dan's optimism definitely echoes resiliency of a rose blooming in the desert or a concrete jungle. Stronger then death fir sir

[@galvantron992]

Yeah, I started my application my senior year cause I had never thought about being military. I had actually been accepted to USC(Cali) when I got a call from a Lt Col from my area. He encouraged me to apply; I qualified BUT didn't have the nomination, of course, cause I was way too late. So I ended up going to the Air Force Academy's Preparatory School for a year and got a nomination from there. And I totally agree, the friends you make there are lifelong friends...you suffer together so your bonds are extremely strong.

My brother had a TBI, the brain doesn't like blank spots of memory so it makes its own memories,which are as real as any other memory.. the stories he told me were so off the wall but to him they were as real as his other memories. One night he called from 5am to 8am, 22 times and each time it was a different scenario

[@buildingcombat6571]

Psychedelic therapy is awesome for tbi.

[@fromobile9]

Normal people - "Jocko! Tell us a BUDS story!" Jocko - "No. BUDS was such a small part of the whole job, it is not worth talking about much. Mostly the only people who talk about BUDS are the guys who didn't make it and that was their 'pinnacle' of life because they can tell people they went/are going to BUDS." Also Jocko when Dan comes on - "Hey bro! Remember BUDS? Let's talk about every part of it!" Lolol awesome

Jocko and team, thank you so very much for your hard push on practicing BJJ. I'm happy to say I had my first no-gi BJJ class today, at your very own Victory MMA & Fitness gym. Needless to say, it was the best 1.25 hours I've spent in a while. I was nervous coming into this first class, and left pumped (and gassed) and wanting more! Let's GET AFTER IT

Outstanding podcast

[@ViolinViolaMasterclass]

It’s the same thing in performance practice🎻 you just have to do…not analyze what you’re doing in the moment…to just stay present with doing what you’re doing, especially with an instrument as unforgiving as the violin!!…it’s hard and takes years to “perfect”…(although little kids are amazing at this because they’re just excited about what their doing and not thinking about anything else!) a lot of musicians take pills or drink to deal with it, but it’s really a special skill to cultivate if you have the courage to just deal with your own mind.😅🎻💪
