You didn't sell out Jocko. You bought in, and helped influence a generation who's lucky to hear what you have to say. So much of what you had to say has influenced me and I'm sure a million others. So thank you from me and I'm sure so many others. Hooyah

[@mrknarf4438]

Yeah: selling out means changing your message to sell it to the masses, corrupting yourself to please the audience. Pushing your true message forward courageously without caring if people like it or not, that's just spreading the word, it isn't selling out. And if it resonates with people and more and more are willing to listen, it's for the better.

[@championsgaming1]

I love the phrase bought in in comparison to sold out, because thats exactly what he did 😂. He brought stuff to the table and invested it in people. He bought it

How was doing IT for the USAF, considering doing it for the training

[@HealthyMBS1]

@@aisacirema7841 Loved being in the USAF and the training and experience was good.. but that was 20 years ago. I actually started in Base Comm Center and Data Processing and the career field morphed into modern IT at lightning speed ('90 to '99) I got hands on with network management, network security, database management, E-mail systems, disaster recover, etc. This was all 20 years ago so I don't know what it's like now. I will say that the Air Force when I was in was professional, driven, and believed in continuous improvement... so go for it!

Thank you Jocko for being a huge inspiration to so many including me

The biggest threat to Americans right now is depression and mental illness, I believe you are helping millions of citizens get away from that path and manage to live longer and happy lives.

[@phillipmele]

Great podcast. Most of the shows I podcast I watch while I go through my day but when I watch this podcast I have to make sure my schedule is clear. It’s similar to me watching a movie I want to see or a TV show I like because I feel like I get something out of it every time. Thank You Jacko and Echo.

Hearing how SEALs are, so to speak, the "silent type" makes me wonder if being more reserved and having the ability to focus makes for being a better SEAL. I may be wrong but I'm just curious.

[@armorsmith43]

Its probably the reason for the “silent professional”. I suspect that of the type of people that can be SEALs, being the “silent professional” is best for 97% of them. Jocko is in in the 3%, but lots of that 97% might be breaking the discipline that they need to keep themselves mentally healthy.

The advice & motivation to get moving . My roommate said I'd not be able to tell you stuff without pissing you off. He was kind of wrong 😅. I only say this because when I first learned about the Internet . I didn't try too communicate. Then watching your podcasts you mentioned to people too communicate. So I did. Critically I suppose. People got a stiff upper lip as the result they expressed. Well anyhow , I'm trying to communicate w/o so much so. As back then in 2016. Thank you Sir!

[@alexanderbutler2989]

The podcast is not designed for Jocko to tell the world all about his life. Also im thinking a lot of those ops are classified...hence the discretion. Two hours of educational inspiring talk is good wherever you get it.

[@dontjud6eme227]

Honestly, I've listened to so many people over the last 4 years trying to find myself. I would have to say You and Jordan Peterson are the most influential people I have listed to over that time period. I believe I connect more to you because I'm more of a natural warrior than I am an intellectual even though I am more intellectual compared to most of the people I meet. You just seem to motivate me a little more than Jordan, so thank you for that!

[@dakkefernet8585]

This I think is a prequel to the real biggest change in opinion on life thingy. All the talks, thoughts and lifeperceiving the past years just CANNOT lead up to this. I think i've grasped somewhat same "mind-thought-paths" as you. You can reach somekind of an ending, with negativity, but positivity is endless. If you are depressed because you have reached the end of the road you should realise this "thing" is an endless ending/beginning. In endless times you might aswell choose living and feeling things because you are probably gonna have to wait a looong while for a similar "experience" to start again, in the endless scheme of being "endless something". Which is darkness most of the time, because of logic. The dark is easy and vast. The light is the rare opposite that fuels the meaning of the dark. We KNOW the darkness will come, in any which dark, empty way. Why hurry forward to the one and only thing we can know and grasp for surely, when thinking about eternity is THE short of glimpse adventure. The truely, one,.odd thing that can happen once in a for sure eternity. Don't believe you can or want endless darkness for an eternity, mathematics will prove you wrong no matter what. That's the only thing we can truly know. And it's why we and all life risk extinction though we know better, because we can, and it's needed, for the inevitable forwardness. You realised through living your life that what you love and embrace, is changing beings being, for the good. Evolution. Which is in my opinion what the "meaning" of this thing we exist in, is. Changing things, in yourselves and others, for most parts good. Sometimes you have to accept the negative, in whatever way it comes, for the good to thrive.

[@Yetipfote]

Jocko initiated one of the biggest changes in my life: a desire to take extreme ownership. But it's so damn hard and scary. I have the feeling I'm getting sick of it :( I see all the shit in my world, my family, my own development and want to transform it into something good all by myself. But I often don't know how and neither where to. So I am often just stuck with a shit feeling of complete loneliness in the dark. Sometimes I distract myself or gossip about other people because I just can't face all that darkness which I see in the world. I have the feeling that I already gained a lot of power over the last couple of months but it is just so fucking much darkness in me (aka the world I see, which is the same). Maybe I went out of balance and should take a step back on the extreme ownership....

[@thebugsy7633]

Quit worrying about other people. Best thing I ever learned, was NOT GIVING A FUCK what other people do, say, or think. Look at something you don't like in the world, and take note of it, add it to your war path as something to NEVER do. And move on. Seriously, stop caring about what others think or say. That's where you will find true happiness

[@trevor0245]

I believe you do have to take ownership, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but In my personal experience I have found the best thing to do is just be the best you, try to have a positive impact and do what you can but don’t get so caught up in how bad everything is because it will only crush you. Just always focus on being the best you, and don’t worry about any of the rest, follow your moral compass, do the right thing when you can, and try to be good to the people around you. The only thing you can change is yourself, so work at being the best you and doing what you can and that means taking accountability and changing things about yourself for the better. But other than that I don’t advise being wrapped up in everything and everyone else, just be the best you. That’s all you can do.

[@msfkmsfk]

Jocko is right. I definitely got my old beliefs beat the fuck right off of me. The process was rough, arduous, and long but the results were effective. Do I think this process is necessary not really but if you are going to be a military servicemember then you need to be ready for anything, any situation, and any type of attack. So while for the longest I didn't give a fuck about mental strength, discipline, and grit. I have just now recently concluded that that shit is fucking necessary and is probably the most important aspect to being successful in life,. That and the ability to communicate and read situations.
