Jocko Podcast 58 w/ Echo Charles - Overcome Regrets of Wasted Time, Improve Morale

[@tricepsish]

When I first pictured Echo in my head having only listened to the podcast, I imagined a scrawny, pencil-necked man. Little did I know that he was in fact a 250+ pound monster with the voice of an angel haha

[@troyzilla1]

Join the club, Mike Tyson syndrome, sounds meek but is a FORCE

[@addictedtohisgrace]

you expected Adam Schiff, yet you got Mr. T😂

[@flahgdoe4558]

the voice of a nervous angel with bad allergies

[@Axe0403]

I imagined an overweight guy in glasses and Jocko a huge ripped guy. 2 opposites type of podcast

Jocko and Echo, as a Coroner and disaster responder of 20 years, I didn't want to look up the letter referenced by Peter Attia, this morning on my run, this podcast was next up. I ran as you read and re-lived the countless times I have told someone their loved one had died. But the Byrnes letter, wow. Thank you for helping us face the dark, so we can enjoy the light. I will use this letter in future trainings as I present to new Coroners and investigators.

[@Doctaphil64]

Much respect Echo, and you too Jocko. 27:50 , the willpower you exhibit in holding yourself together is impressive.

[@jackl5236]

I will treasure the day I am in the position to write a letter like that of John Byrnes. No matter where I find myself, no matter the darkness that surrounds me, to have a child I love with a woman I love, who love me... God, that is a beacon of hope that nothing can obscure.

[@dimmakchampion3808]

damn it, i was working while listening to this and had to hide for a minute to clear the tears out near the beginning. I thought it was over and Echo got me going again.

[@lesliel1614]

Dim Mak Champion. OMG just woke up ... Laying in bed ... Tears streaming down my face .... I only have the chance to listen to the first 30min now...🙄...now I am going to go get after it. Deadlifts & sniffles & Kleenex.

[@buddhadrummer087]

ME TOO!

[@kondawg8247]

Jesus Christ Jocko is a hell of an Orator

[@jacobrousse111]

I've listened to every single podcast up until this point over the last few months. I listen to this podcast religiously. It has changed my life exponentially. You guys are legit, Jocko and Echo. You are real. You are human. This podcast is next level. Never fucking stop producing.

[@7chicano]

I'm re listening after catching up.. 7 yrs later in 2023 n they're still goin strong 💪🏾

[@Justin.Cramer]

With just over 131 hours of recordings, to date, it has taken me over a month to listen or watch each of these. If you have not listened or watched the other 57 episodes I strongly recommend you get after it.

[@crashgsxr750]

jocko could read the dictionary and it would be inspiring

[@raimundosilva4382]

Nada de beautiful Matte ela nada de biro for mate ela tenho nada a ver com o Biro for mate ela eu não tenho nada a ver com brilho for nada o Biro nada de Bilu formate ela

[@addictedtohisgrace]

in the field manual, there’s a bit called “sugarcoated lies” - the way he says it cracks me up every time

[@patriot2677]

For real

[@BrunoDECOURCY]

If you ever thought that Jocko was a Warrior and for that reason, you don’t listen to that podcast, you’ll be missing something... So much humanity.... Total respect to both of you Jocko and Echo!!!

[@DRF1001]

Thank you Echo

[@jimmybarton9140]

One of my best childhood friends passed away 2 days ago and today's his 22nd birthday so this intro really hit home, RIP Peter.

[@tatakong]

Echo is a beautiful man indeed. Jocko is a guru...

[@mattdroste14]

Jocko, you done broke the Echo!

[@billhauglandiii8548]

Echo Charles - I love you man. You are the perfect "foil" to Jocko. I am an Echo Charles and I love you input brother.

[@bigdaddyrivera4309]

Jacko and Echo are great, gentleman warriors. Tough and sensitive. Bringing light into the darkness.

[@InPursuitOfArt]

Amazing episode, that poem at the beginning and the emphatic way that Jocko reads... And the realness of Echo Charlie... Awesome. Can't help but love these guys. Thank you so much for what you do.

[@nicolasa6789]

Usually Jocko shuts Echo down on movies but I think Jocko brought up movies to try to help Echo return emotionally. True bro

[@rickwilliams7290]

New level of hespect for Echo. Porra!!! Need this podcast a little bit daily!

[@ryanslife4478]

God damn jocko makes me feel like I can run through a God damn brick wall good shit gentlemen you bet your ass I'm getting after it

[@unknownbastard123]

I'm addicted to this podcast

[@Josh93B]

You must be addicted to GETTING AFTER IT.

[@barelybeardedbear]

My God, I have no kids and that pulled on my heart strings.

[@morell7315]

Just shows you the quality of jocko podcast that rarely is there a dislike on any of his videos

[@0num4]

Jocko, once again, is speaking some real wisdom when it comes to learning Jiu Jitsu. A number of years ago, I had the epiphany that a martial arts instructor correcting my poor technique or habits was a good thing. I no longer say "I'm sorry" or get on myself for doing things wrong -- I now respond with "Thank you". When I'm corrected, whether through technical instruction, getting put into a disadvantageous position, or getting straight choked out or arm barred, I say "thanks for the lesson, I'll try to do better next time." They're literally *making me a better fighter* every time they point out my mistakes or take advantage of my weaknesses. Why would I ever be sorry for improving?

[@jamiemckenzie1180]

I was on the bus 5.40am heading to training listening to this, crying, listening, laughing and learning with Jocko podcast I love and feel this, thank you xxx

[@IrishBass11]

When you're like : "I didn't plan to cry today. Oh well." and next morning, you wake up to add that video in your queue but then, you realize that only 30 000-ish person saw this. That's a shame really. Being humbled is something that should be done on a regular basis. Thanks Jocko and Echo Charles.

[@FellowHuman18]

This was a special episode. Thanks a lot, guys.

[@MrLukeolsen]

Be honest, who had to pause because you started tearing up thinking about your children

[@shevchenkoyev]

k rudd no children here and I tear up almost every podcast, couple of times at least.

[@ayara8157]

Echo my brother I was crying right along with you...

[@angbandart]

Echo Charles is the perfect sidekick. He is a sidekick who looks like just a secondary mainkick.

[@kondawg8247]

The WW2 letter really teared me up

[@pukey_posts8154]

Going through all the Jocko podcast episodes. Came to shoutout to Echo. Ohana is everything.

[@thomstrand575]

Epic war time letter of true love! May the very few blessings of past wars continue to fuel strong emotions brought forth by this wonderful podcast. Thank you for giving us real perspective on what is true.

[@0num4]

Hell..I read that article in the intro myself, and it was rough. But hearing how rough it was for a guy like Jocko just drives it home further.

[@macenroec6269]

24 minutes in and already tears welling up in my eyes

[@WayTooMuchGear]

43:53 Had me laughing out loud in my cubicle. Thanks for the laughs and tears, gents.

[@chopchopbc]

Had me teared up something fierce too. Respect to Echo.

[@hipqban169]

When jocko makes echo cry and then tries to console him back to laughter...Know the dark..thanks

[@ElanTV1]

Listened to this whole episode while benching and squatting ,absolutely heart wrenching but definitely changed my perspective and as a result training was easier because lifting that weight was now not a big deal.

[@randskelton9971]

Love this podcast and much respect to Jocko and Echo on this episode for once again showing how much they realize the value of human life.

[@americanmambi]

Only parents now these feelings, such strong feelings that will override any self preservation instincts or fears. Thanks for sharing.

[@Spider-Too-Too]

I keep coming back to this one just to listen to the letter

[@DrengrMike]

The wasted years part helped me so much. All of this is incredibly useful but this was a pinpoint issue for me. Thank you Jocko and thank you Echo as well. Some of us need the regular guy to help our perspective translate.

[@haleyamundson]

I started listening to this podcast last year, early 2021. I decided to go back to the beginning episodes and I am so glad I did so I could come across this one. So much respect for you guys and for covering what you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@yaminowa]

One of my favorite podcasts to date. Really touched on some important stuff.

[@chiragrana2323]

Have been searching for this particular podcast, finally got it, The Transformation story in it is BOMB. The man literally changed himself 360.

[@gustavsmg]

"You can't let Hawaii 5-0 get you down like this bro" 😂😂😂

[@Marvellouseffortthat]

I'm sure everyone of us thought about our children during this one. As ever, Jocko & Echo, a great podcast

[@muffinman7000]

Damn, usually I just listen to the Podcast but I had watch this one. Jocko's Voice actually trembling and Echo's Sniffling during the Letter was very moving.

[@MorethanGUNZ]

This is a great episode! The John RM Byrnes letter is a powerful piece. Love Jocko and Echo.

[@kellyfj]

Epic - I listened to this as a podcast now I gotta watch it to see the first 30 minutes and your faces reading that powerful stuff

[@flahgdoe4558]

I listen to these to block out my coworker's constant sniffling. And here we have Echo, sniffling away. Fuck man, lol

[@Fitwellx]

balance...Strength...compassion....and empathy....

[@goosemack3587]

man that article at the start was amazing

[@twrecks9119]

Echo has a soft side. This one threw him for a loop.

[@cyndirymer7068]

You guys are the best! Harsh but a necessary reminder.

[@ricksharp4224]

This entire episode is awesome!! Very heavy intro, I felt a lot like Echo in the beginning of this one. I'm ordering the book today!

[@aphysique]

We want more Tony!!! Btf..Btf

[@eriksoltvedt7552]

GOOD. Evening. Still No Fucking Slack

[@jesterlogic6886]

I know you guys where joking about the Echo being replaced thing but you better bet your dollars to doughnuts(or in this case steak and Onit supplements) that we'd miss the shiiiit outta this guy♥️

[@danmarshall5437]

Excellent episode covering a very powerful, and sensitive subject respectfully. I recommend It, especially to parents. It will resonate.

[@hr1meg]

I've tried explaining to many people, but once you have children a switch goes off you never thought you had. You get very emotional when it comes to children.

[@raynorman4315]

Jocko, the narrations of the books and letters that You read are!! Well, I ain't got the words!

[@TheMinimalistFisherman]

Love this. Get after it.

[@renegaderainman2555]

This is one of my favorites.

[@kevinlecavalier9720]

a quarter of the podcasts down, I started jan 2020 and its june 2020, really felt in the room with you guys again today in the podcast, with the covid-19, I'm able to watch one almost everyday and I might reach up to the current podcast in a year or so! thanks for all the content Jocko and Echo

[@reganwolf4405]

this is the most open beautyfull powerfull podcast ever. thank you so much for uploading greets from the Netherlands 🤲🏼☝🏽👌🏻💪🏽

[@TheBigSot]

In Jocko's world, there is only war and battle movies.

[@Yoshiling]

Rough transition. I love these men.

[@WasabiWei]

The point around 1:18:00 or so about changing it up is priceless life advice. I love this whole episode, but that is some excellent shit right there.

[@tito5428]

Powerful. I'm at a loss for words. Thank You

[@alovelady1]

Spotify does podcasts as well. It would be great to see you guys on that platform, too. Thank you guys for making the great content!

[@paulleclaire8252]

Jocko and Echo - mad hespect! Oss

[@eivoilaittaaverotukseen6426]

Just a friendly mention: for "OPSEC" reasons you guys might want to opt out of the site called "familytreenow". Tell your military buddies as well. I've tested it, and they list the home addresses of even active duty military members. Even guys who have been on your podcast.

[@vic8552]

that would be "PERSEC"

[@eivoilaittaaverotukseen6426]

Yeah, you're right.

[@coachaenriquez]

Love the podcasts & the book Jocko. I know you didn't have to notify the next of kin that their loved one had been KIA however; did you ever upon returning make it a point to visit the parents, wives of the Sailors lost under your command? Semper Fi sir. Sgt. Al Enriquez, USMC.

[@landsurfer3313]

This permiates the deepest recesses of my brain.

[@SomeGuy-sj1ly]

Bro...this shit hit real close to home. I narrowly survived a nasty car wreck....a month later my little sister (15 y/o) was killed by an impaired teen driver who hit a semi trailer with her in the back seat. 3/4 people in the car were decapitated...including my little sister. This shit hit real close to home. Men dont cry..I believe that very thoroughly...but thinking about that incident makes me cry like a little bitch. I would trade myself for her any day of the week....and the world would be a better place for it. She was as good as they come...I, simply, am not. I do not deserve to be alive, none of us do...not 1 single person on this planet "deserves" anything...the best we can do is try like hell to earn what we have...but we do not deserve any of it. I'll see you again one day Mikayla, I love you oh so much...I'll fight my way through eternity if I have to, but I WILL see you again. I'm so fucking sorry that I didnt protect you the way I was supposed to. 😭

[@jasonroades1102]

Freaking water works over here at lunch…..thanks bro Amazing listen thank you.

[@austinlewandowski7121]

Thank you.

[@el5495]

amazing podcast

[@uradumby25]

something about two grown ass kickers getting emotional that will kick you right in the feelers.

[@kevinjones7980]

The feels. They've been hit.

[@joecamnz6776]

Damn onions in here.....

[@stevebeight4473]

"Good evening Echo"

[@fishbone8703]

My cousin who was 16 just got shot in the head 5 days ago and I sorry for him and his mother. I thought about her for the last five days.

[@jm1446]

I was just about to submit a question to Jocko about this very topic. How Jedi

[@mbarupa]

I agree - Hawaii 50 or however you go soul searching, there are many ways to that Byrnesian place. You can go there all at once because you are pushed, or life can draw you there slowly.. loving and showing love doesn't have to be precipitated by war

[@williamsyelyah2928]

This is my favorite eipisode so far

[@iamsam369]

LISTENEND ON IPHONE, HAD TO COME CHECK THE VIDEO BC IT SOUNDED LIKE ECHO WAS CRYING.

[@MarkJohnson-nz4os]

Respect...

[@colinbradshaw5158]

[@johnweninger1737]

Good evening.

[@zacguizamckay251]

I'm never going to get over and I'll get in the Marine corps but I'll just keep on trying but I still have regrets Parris Island or bust

[@mrlinushermansson]

I cried.

[@AngryOscillator]

Does the darkness make you express yourself more fully? Carl Jung has just entered the chat

[@stonebud]

Tell me more What does C Jung say?

[@AngryOscillator]

@@stonebud mate, he has like 30 books on the subject, the KZbin comments section is not going to cut it! I'd advise starting with 'The archetypes and the collective unconscious' as a starting point. It's basically to do with the individuation process and how a being can't be complete without passing through The Shadow

[@stonebud]

@@AngryOscillator could you please give me a cliff notes version? If you feel like the subject is too vast to condense it, I understand. I've read a little bit about the shadow and his musings on the subject.

[@AngryOscillator]

@@stonebud not really, I have more of a tacit understanding than an academic one. Though, in essence, you need to know yourself fully to express yourself fully. Everyone has a shadow. To express yourself fully, to be a complete, actualized person, you need to know the shadow. I don't know, I've always thought of it as a kind of 'well duh' kind of thing 😊 But then coming to jungle I'd already studied the kabalah, various pagan traditions and generally been steeped in symbology for a long time so most of jung just makes sense to me at almost surface value, makes it hard to explain. Echo would call it that 'curse of knowledge'

[@AngryOscillator]

Stupid auto correct. I didn't come to jungle (which just got autocorrected to jingle!) but I came to jung. Though I do like a bit of jungle, it's pretty big you know? And fairly wicked

[@bradinhammon9607]

Too bad they sped up the "Echo Darkness"...

[@willk8106]

5 mins in I’m crying

[@k.williamss3101]

Jocks, why did you pick Kenny Williams for the bully’s name? That’s my name.

[@KY_REDDYNESS]

Dang it! It got me again! 🤣

[@Jeditilt]

This podcast is the shit!
