[@NickMACHINELavery]

Thank you for the invitation. It was an honor and privilege.

[@PD-we8vf]

Thank you Nick!

[@georgecoull1883]

Shawn Ryan show and Jocko podcast are you sure you're not a SEAL team guy 😆 absolute legend 💯🇺🇲

[@erikbondarenko5304]

Thank you nick

[@WTF....1982]

Hearing nick made me grind harder and stop feeling sorry for myself.

[@donniep75]

Every guest on Jocko's podcast is a stud. Nick Lavery is next level. Massive respect.

[@liamobryan6105]

I’m 22, was born in Illinois. I was at work, hard work making barrels for whiskey, and about 30 minutes before it was time to leave I got a call from my uncle, my father had passed away. As I’m writing this I have been home from work for only 2 hours. I was listening to this podcast while at work, these podcasts have been an immense source of inspiration and encouragement for me as I’m sure it has been for many of you. I just want to say thank you to jocko, and all those who aid him in his journey to spread his message.

[@chief5981]

Dear diary

[@animula6908]

Sorry for your loss! May your life be great so your dad can Rest In Peace.

[@NastyNate18B]

You're a warrior.

[@Randomyoutubecommenter]

You don’t know me but I’m sorry about your loss. A father is really special to a son, i cant imagine losing mine anytime soon. Wish you the best.

[@themadmonk6379]

Yall don’t understand how long I have been waiting for this episode. The Machine is one of the biggest influences on my life goals. Any time I want to complain I think, Nope Nick can get through this. I can too. “Only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen.” Nick Lavery

[@NickMACHINELavery]

Respect 👊

[@johncentrello3402]

Awesome words to live by💪

[@SPO.273]

WWND OR WWNLD

[@danielbrown9368]

Due to OpSec please refrain from outing Nick as The Machine. He is not in any way an advanced prototype of the T-100 Terminator system. *nervous laughing* Regards, CyberDyne Security Department

[@JCsBJJWarrior28]

Nick Lavery is one of the best men I've be blessed to know and be around. I'll never forget the energy in the room the night I received my brown belt in BJJ from Greg Thompson back in N.C. because the best part of that night was Nick receiving his blue belt after he lost his leg in Afghanistan from both Greg and Royce Gracie! Nick is truly an uncommon man who stands out amongst uncommon men. God bless you Nick

[@NickMACHINELavery]

Great times. Thank you. 🤙

[@HighReadyBoutique]

I’m an amputee as of 4 years ago, hearing nicks story shows me the way, what’s possible and so much in between . Gratitude, warriors.

[@gurashishsingh7813]

A 5 hour Jocko podcast for the weekend. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Thankyou

[@DarcyCarmen]

Yes! I’ve been wanting to see Nick on here for YEARS. Well done, sirs.

[@NickMACHINELavery]

Thank you

[@mr.g816]

"It is sitting there right now, waiting to be released. A lion eager to hunt. Let it out. Enough is enough. Live life like you are the hero in your own movie. You are the commander, and as your advisor, I recommend you proceed. Move" (Lavery 240). An excerpt from Objective Secure by Nick Lavery. Thank you Nick Lavery for your sacrifice, inspiration, and warrior spirit. The lion is eager to hunt

[@aquablaster86]

Every minute of every episode should be stored in the national archive. Alongside the declaration of independence and bill of rights. Thank you, Joe Rogan, for inspiring Jocko to start this journey of documenting American heroes. Jocko, you sir, are the man. Long live the Republic 🇺🇸

[@xprettylightsx]

Great comment! Well said sir.

[@jimmyhenson2167]

Yes !! Texas leads the way. Semper Fi. Happy thanksgiving.

[@sanderbaas945]

I had never heard of Nick before, but the 5 hours literally flew by listening to him. What a story and well told!

[@Nalu.Emperado]

Army Values the way taught to me in 2002 in Benning, GA: Loyalty. Duty. Respect. Selfless Service. Honor. Integrity. Personal Courage. All of these WO2 Lavery and RET LCMDR Willink are the perfect examples in person. They epitomize Leadership which is the word that the values when read with first letter of each word sounds like. Total inspiration and motivation for everyone. Thank you both and thanks Echo Charles for being the man behind the tech and keeping it fun. God bless you all.

[@JQMurrell]

The way you guys describe the skill and absolute determination of the medics, it brings me to tears to just imagine what kind of special person that must take to accomplish such astounding feats, problem solving around trying to keep a person alive like that, against all odds!!!!! I am speechless and amazed.

[@henrylugo7097]

This podcast is an invaluable record of bravery and knowledge. Would love to hear the stories of the Navajo code talkers before they are all gone.

[@tsibren]

What an absolute beast of a hero. Amazing episode.

[@daffyshakilfur3563]

I love this podcast , it is the easiest material to turn my friends onto. One listen of any episode and they know it’s primo shit. Thank you to Nick for providing these 5 hours of amazing life experience.

[@michaelmontenegro2866]

This is the second time I've heard his story the first time was on Shawn Ryan's show. Love this fuckin guy jocko you fucking rock. I was a corpsman with 2d MARINES thank you guys for the motivation

[@thechongwolla]

Marine Corpsman always hold a special place to me. They could sit comfortable on a huge carrier in a well equipped purpose built facility but go out there and get after it. In all the crazy combat stuff I have read about with US Marines, the fact there are people up there in the shit starting the process of patching people back together blows my mind. Same goes for Air Force forward controllers or whatever they are called. Trained pilots getting their boots dirty with the infantry to call in air support.

[@Arlehs]

Do you know that feeling you connect with someone despite other life style/personal experience but yet something deep in your core goes like 'man this dude...'?. Ordered the book already. Thanks Nick. Jocko, amazing interview, never let us down!

[@andrewsimms15]

Watched all 5 hours of this podcast and it was hands down of the best podcast episodes I’ve ever seen

[@rufio171]

I have absolutely 0 connection to the US military, and my occupation is far away from it, yet I am so intrigued and interested and hearing these stories and so happy that we have warriors like these on our team

[@lucassobral7358]

This feeling is the Warrior's imperative. Almost every man has it.

[@arnoldosullivan6642]

Although a generation removed, I am constantly impressed by this generation in our regiment. Well done Sir. DOL

[@Torriotorres]

This man is inspiring, courageous, and a hero!

[@legionarulsquad6676]

A 5 hours delight. Perfect. Respect from Romania 🇷🇴

[@theswullnasty3353]

It’s an honor to listen to this conversation between 2 exceptional men of service for free.

[@sheilalarkin1291]

Jocko, I enjoy you Podcasts, thank you for having Nick as a guest. He is an inspiration and an example of just how powerful the mind is.

[@Dark_Point0]

The amazing, and inspiring stories that are told on this podcast are truly life-changing. The men and women that talk about their exploits on this platform force you back to your own life story. It forces me to forge a path forward toward greatness, and not leave anything unturned.

[@Chertoff88]

"All I heard was lets get into a fight together" love it.

*Jocko Willink is the Reluctant Leader we need.* .....We know you've done enough, but your Nation needs you. 🇺🇸 *2024* 🦅

[@Dr_Mike2]

@Jocko DO IT!!

[@joshgilmore6155]

Nick is a straight up Warrior, I can only imagine if he was a Nave SEAL, he would have been BTF Tony Eafrati's adopted son. Thank you for kicking ass for America's sake. Jocko amazing conversation and podcast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@danteubner5498]

A true honor to hear this podcast!

[@motorTranz]

This was a wonderful interview! Many thanks Jocko and Echo!

[@SethFortune]

Thank you for serving our great country. Thank you guys for this podcast. I really enjoyed it!

[@blandinebobby]

I wish the both of you lived on either side of my house. I laughed and cried during this episode like i do in so many jocko episodes. Nick thank you for the tremendous sacrifice for our freedom as well as the rest of the men and women of the military. 5 hour podcast well done jocko. It breezed by and i was bummed out when it was over. This is amazing that i stopped smoking few weeks ago and i have used the inspiration from Goggins,Rogan and Jocko. I just added Nick to the program. Whenever I run into a challenge and i need to push myself I just draw on these beasts of discipline. Nick shattered all barriers. Going to be tuff to top this one Jocko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done interview Jocko. Your as cool as the other side of the pillow

[@cagr0311]

This is gold. Amazing and humbling to hear these crazy stories of determination and perseverance.

[@Shaftscarpenters]

This is a real hero!! It’s cause of bad ass dudes like this that we can all sleep well at night

[@Dr_Mike2]

Nick is truly a MAN AMONG MEN!! I was long since gone from a team before Nick ever thought of joining. Nonetheless it wouldve been an PRIVILEGE to have known him and a HONOR to have served with him!! You sir did with 1 leg what most couldn't do with two! Your commitment to your teammates, your mission, and anyone lucky enough to be in your "circle of trust" is second to none! You earned my respect and my salute sir.

[@baileysomers-gr6zl]

Nick is so inspiring dude. It seems I always come back to this podcast when I need it in my life

[@watchdog2266]

Thanks Jacko for having Nick on, outstanding podcast as usual. You rock it like no other. Thank you.

[@hardcorehobbies3809]

Freaking Insane on EVERY Level. The obstacles I have to overcome seem insignificant in comparison. This is The main reason I listen to these conversations everyday. Learning from strongest humans on earth for kick in the ass and keep focusing on today’s goals. I can’t thank you enough for putting everything on the table for us to learn and grow from. I believe a tiny percentage is N.E. Soul. I hope someday I can thank you guys in person for helping in some of my most difficult times.

[@KevinDiazx11]

This podcast is the most I have reply over and over! What an amazing stud!!! Listening to this podcast and reading nick book 📖 has really changed my life! 360. I treat his book like my bible. I will achieve my goal!

[@JayDubb3BCT]

Mr Lavery is the embodiment of bad assery! Thank you Gentlemen for an awesome interview!

[@jenhoffman2330]

Jocko thank you for having this badass on your podcast... And Nick you, just like many men I've listened to on here have said the same thing... go. leave me. tend to others who you can save. got me in the feels man. It's the act of put others before me... my battles.. my buddies that is a beautiful thing. Thank you your story and for being a fuckin badass. 🇺🇲

[@emi.grigore]

I have been waiting for this day since the i found out about Nick, which was like a year and a half ago. I am so happy that this actually happenend. Thank you! Nick is my inspiration to keep trying to get into the SOF comunity, despite my health issues.

[@suzanhodges415]

Sometimes I re-listen to my face podcasts when I’m losing motivation and I need a reason to keep pushing myself no mater what (I’m a lawyer so nothing special but occasionally I feel like feeling sorry for myself) and this one never fails to re-motivate me and remind myself I really have nothing to complain about!

[@kpjc4eva]

I enjoyed the hell out of this interview. Fucking awesome. I had a many laughs during this podcast. Almost spit out my coffee on certain parts.

[@jaygee1616]

Many laughs and almost tears as well

[@SandyCove143]

What was i afraid of? What was my problem? This is a stark and visceral reminder of what a hero is made of, and how fortunate we all are to be the beneficiaries of men and women like Nick!

[@jsins2740]

The way he so matter of factly described his instinct to push the medic to teammates who were more likely to survive with treatment. Such a quick and selfless assessment of a chaotic situation. Extreme detachment from any natural feeling of self preservation.

[@cdrtej]

Strive for failure. . . That's deep

[@BeDangerousGroup]

This is what I favorite Jocko podcast. I know he appreciates every guest that he has on here, but with Nick you can totally feel like Jocko actually enjoyed this conversation. He totally fan-boy'd! But rightfully so - Nick deserves every single fan that he gets! He is the most honorable & dangerous American ever! Thank you gentleman for a nice 5 hour conversation. And absolutely thank you both for your service!

[@kathyborthwick6738LakotaEmoji]

Absolutely riveting -This Warrior is a beast-Deep Regard & Respect! 🦅☀️🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@GIMMEDANGERX1]

Five hours of awesomeness. Thank you!

[@acanfield87]

What an amazing conversation and example of a true American hero with grit and determination. Thank you for your service in defense of America and our allies.

[@corfroo]

Pretty sure I saw Nick one time on Fort Bragg at the gym I just remember him having one leg and was damn near a giant talk about a beast!

[@indivisible885]

I was tortured as a child and I always told myself, "when I grow up, I'm gonna get that guy!". When I was twenty, and full grown, I ran into him at a bar. He was an old man and 5'9", I was 6'3" and 200 lbs. and I couldn't do it. Not sure if I was still afraid of him or if I had pity on him, but either way, I let him walk.

[@dillioncowie5220]

@2:55:45 "thats the most savage leg on the planet" 😂🤣 Another stellar podcast Jocko 🤘🤘

[@davidlamson8330]

Thank you for your service and your time on the podcast. Happy holidays jocko

I’m constantly inspired by you’re story’s you’re mission and discipline of life. This country needs a leader like you jocko

Saw Nick on 'Cleared Hot' first, friggin loved his focus and the NE/Mass/Bosox linguistics, his intensity is infectious. Cheers to you Nick!

[@samswilly14]

Man I gotta tell y’a, being a Mainer, we’d love too have you up here Nick. You’d fit right in brother

[@russv4753]

I would love the opportunity to meet both Jocko and Nick. Listening to what these men went through is inspiring. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

[@tuckerallen3621]

Damn. Joko. 346 and 347 really hit home. Great work for everyone involved and the deepest respect to both guests. Hump on.

[@scottadkins9040]

First heard Nick's testimony on Shawn Ryan's podcast--it was awesome. Glad to hear it again . . . this man is just an incredible inspiration to everyone with the courage to be honest with themselves about themselves. Wow...

[@frankprettitore6192]

Nick is what America is all about...Determination and never give in... Bless You Nick...

[@spartanlukas]

Best interview ever, makes me proud to serve and especially in the Army. The most inspirational story I've ever heard yet.

[@bradkister79]

I saw Nick's bio on KZbin sometime ago .Jocko is able to dig deep, and bring Nick's story to life in a much more in depth way....

[@gaussiano]

I am from Argentina and I understand English very well. But sometimes I stop to listen more carefully to some anecdote or concept more carefully, and the simple fact of having a subtitle allows me to attend to the topic more fluently. If you could enable automatic subtitles on all your videos that would be great. Oh by the way, Jocko I recommend the poet Pedro Bonifacio Palacios (Almafuerte), you will like it. I love your content saludos amigos

[@Johnhealey-]

Go to KZbin settings and turn on subtitles in your preferred language

[@gaussiano]

@@Johnhealey- thanks I know there is more than one solution, but I prefer the "cc" button in the bottom bar of the video. It's a simple thing that you can easily enable in the settings when you upload the video, so...

[@ferdiregts]

Just 40min in and i just want him to say : GET TO THA CHOPPA!

[@BandasPalette]

WOW, what a guest. I can see a movie being made about him. Gave me Men of Honor vibes. Great job Jocko!!

[@justanothernothuman]

5 fuckin hours of pure wisdom, knowledge, learning and testosterone

[@brentdhedrick]

I Remember vividly being 5 and a group of adults standing in a circle as I was forced by my pops to fight a kid that was like 7 or 8 that had been bullying me. In my mind I can see them exchanging wads of money like they were gambling on an illegal boxing match, and I am pretty sure they werent lol. I dreaded the walk to meet my bully and his father, and dreaded the fight I knew that would ensue even more. I dont remember the fight that well. I do know I wasnt bullied by that kid again.

[@chrisvesper9789]

Great interview some great laughs with Nick! Had to watch this one! Can’t wait to get this book and read it!!!

[@suzanhodges415]

Good grief! I thought I had seen and heard my best guest on Jocko’s podcast, and then here comes another. Nick Lavery is INTENSE! I true inspiration! Warrior absolutely suits this man made MACHINE!

[@volcomintality8638]

I listened to his story on another podcast, and here I am listening to it again because it's just that amazing. Also those funny tidbits are FUNNY!

[@activern9272]

You two work well together! It was like listening to 2 friends talking....thanks for this episode!

[@klmorg63]

Going through the podcasts starting with #1 a couple of years ago, I made it to Nick Fing Lavery, a man that makes me feel like shit about myself lol. Ordered Objective Secure to add to my growing collection! What a shame it took this long to find all these podcasts full of unbelievable men and women, I’m 61 and I have decided I don’t care I’m starting jiu jitsu! I’ve heard you will probably get injured more starting this late in life, but this podcast is just screaming at me to just do it and figure it out along the way! Thanks Nick and Jocko, discipline is everything!

[@zsnowbarger]

This beast swimming must have been a sight to see. Love this stuff man. Determination incarnated.

You bring human knowledge of war do to People that don't now the other side of war. And over life to be humans . Being a veteran and my Dad served in Vietnam. Just what to thank you.
