Jake, Marcus Luttrell was on Dale Brisby's podcast the other day. Marcus said, "what im telling you is getting your fired up. You think you want this SEAL life. But you really don't!" That's what your videos do to me lol. Im old, 38. But still they get me fired up.

[@hnlong8531]

I know us people of color are the minority of the SEAL and SWCC community so I'm glad to have served in the same Navy as you 🫡

[@johnnybronco9118]

The minority of the population will usually be in the minority of any place of employment

[@tmactae]

​@@johnnybronco9118 Wrong, have you considered that the NBA and NFL are places of employment.

[@johnnybronco9118]

@@tmactae A lot more people that are "Minorities" strive their whole life to be in the NBA or the NFL.... not the Navy Seals. This self victimized narrative is old and just played out at this point.

ANTI BLACK RACISM IS PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT BLACK PERPETRATING ANTI RACISM AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE BLACK MILITARY PEOPLE HAVE HISTORICALLY SUFFERED THIS ANTI BLACK RACISM GOING BACK TONTHE "BUFFALO SOLDIERS"HISTORY DOES NOT LIE BUT MANY PEOPLE LIE ABOUT THAT HISTORY

[@scotty2hotty163]

I needed to hear this today sir. Your wisdom and experience transcends all demographics. I'm a 45 year old white male and I just wanted you to know that your words are very powerful and you helped me alot tonight my man. Keep changing lives.

[@jakezweig]

Thank you that means a lot to me!!!! Glad I could help!!!

[@BusterScruggsss]

Would love to see a video about your fraternity experience joining the Q dogs and how they made you an Omega man.

This might be the best thing Ive ever saw on the internet. Jake is so fucking real.

Over an hour of content! Lets go🔥

On mentorship: Sometimes in a life a person just needs one win to swing their life a different way. The one thing I think people confuse is genuine burning desire and competence. You need both. You can be fired up for something but if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about... You're useless. Enjoyed the talk. Love listen to this man speak.

[@jakezweig]

Yes sir if you can stay on the path life is great ....still hard and challenging but not impossible

Very informative and enjoyable. Wish I had effective mentorship when I was in the Navy, Mines came from a nuclear engineer from NavSea, and when I 1st met him, in Italy, and he was wearing an Omega Psi Phi ball cap, shorts and a Michael Jordan tee shirt. My sis is a Delta, so we chopped it up and became good friends and remained best of friends since 90'. He was just the best man @ my wedding. Down since 90'. Thanks, tho. I always tune in.

Many of the things you talk about I have been doing for years. Training or developing someone behind me to take my job. Doing that has never caused me an ounce of fear. They’ll either take my job when I leave or I’ll help them find something better if I don’t have it.

I’ll leave this here for anyone reading to take from it what they will. I’m a 7-8th generation Texan (we lost count) 6’3 220lb white dude. I’ve saved the life of a half black/half Latino army PFC who tried to take his life right in front of me, and who was threatening to take me with him if I tried to stop him, or if I tried calling for help. He died in the passenger seat next to me for about 1.5 minutes, and somehow came back to life and ultimately ended up surviving, only to then get discharged from the army, and he eventually went on to rack up a violent criminal record, including terrorism charges. I’m glad that we parted ways about a month after the incident. Maybe I should’ve just left, and had let him die that night like he wanted… Over a year before that incident, I joined the navy at age 18-19 specifically with the intention to go to bud/s and become a SEAL. I had absolutely zero mentorship, and the Navy recruiters lied to me every single step of the way. Doing exactly what my recruiters told me to do while I was filling out my medical questionnaire while sitting across from him at his desk directly led to me getting unexpectedly discharged in bootcamp for “fraudulent enlistment”. The men who were wearing the same uniform that I wanted to wear lied to me every single step of the way, and then the Navy permanently labeled me with fraud as a result…sickening. After that Navy failure scenario, I decided not to cut my hair for over 4 years. By the end of that time period, I let the hair form into dreads. I still have them in a bag. When I had my long hair, other white people looked at me and treated me like absolute trash, but non-white people looked at me and treated me very kindly, and with respect. I eventually thought that I wanted to try to finish what I had originally set out to accomplish, so I decided that I wanted to try to go back into the Navy and try to go to bud/s again, so I decided to cut my hair back to a buzz cut. The very next day, all of the sudden white people started looking at me and treating me very well and kindly, and non-white people started to look at me in what seemed to be fear & disrespect, and all of the sudden they wouldn’t even talk to me anymore. Huge difference in how I was perceived and treated in public, all because of a haircut… And I ended up not even going back into the navy. After meeting, befriending, and getting some very unproductive mentorship by some local guys from that community, I decided that I didn’t want to be like them, and that I didn’t want to subject myself to that type of system again that had already BS’d me and screwed me over the first time. So I decided that I didn’t want it anymore, even though I had already worked back up to competitive PST scores. I should’ve kept my freaking hair…but I had to find out for myself that this particular door that I thought that I wanted to go back through wouldn’t have been the right direction for me. So, racial stereotype BS also unfortunately ends up getting applied to white guys like me who don’t have a racist bone in their body, and even almost got myself killed by a half black/half Latino “friend” who was threatening to kill me, but I decided to saved his life anyways… What a weird culture we have.

[@jakezweig]

BOOOOOOOOM thank you for that knowledge

[@TimboSliceeee]

Love this talk man! Jake do you think the marine corp is a good place to give a young man the right mindset and discipline to succeed in life?

[@RealEstateMan85]

Jake is not a soldier. He’s a “Sailor”. He’s a sailor in special operations. only soldiers , is in the Army. It’s definitely different. You don’t call a Navy Seal a soldier but rather a sailor. Just like for special operations PJ Parajumpers in the Air Force. They are referred to as “Air Men” even though they are not in the air, etc., or don’t pilot a jet.

[@chriswilliams7504]

RQQ!!!!

[@nelsonzambrano5788]

Jake has 100% military common sense and dead pan humor all that the same time...No one picked up on "Do you think the Nigerian ass last name MIGHT have something to do with no one EMAILIING you back?" 😂😂 Ps: Every neurosurgeon thought the email was the typical Nigerian prince scam...

Everybody for them self mentality, but nobody wants to pull their weight in the group. Every individual you know is failing because they all want everything for themselves SMH.

[@fatalberti]

thought a seal leadership speech would be interesting. i was born into a culture that messages to me that i am guilty of everything and less of everything and born into privilege (meaning money and ease and getting whatever i want), didnt have to work, and never could’ve experienced any “-ism” or deprivation or health issues or loss or repression. i must think and speak certain ways, suppress morality…because i am non-dark skin with undefined “race” except my european simple past makes me a white enough problem. the cultural aggression i’ve experienced has come from “blacks” personally and by western culture period. everything is somehow always linked to race but only black against white. i hear ni**a all the time from blacks in front of everyone. i’m done with it. just cant care anymore. cant reason through it.

[@jakezweig]

No problem, don't really need you to care.

[@erad3035]

I suspect that a lot of the "racism" that Jake experienced in the Teams wasn't 'real' racism. I think that his abrasive personality was the reason that many people took issue with him and calling a Black man the N word is the easiest way to piss them off.

[@nelsonzambrano5788]

Calling anyone the N word.. Much less an Officer in the military to his face the N word is about as racist as can be.

[@jakezweig]

I'm going to have to agree with you. The other part is that it affected me and that tells them to keep picking the scab

[@jonhelguson]

If a word gets you off the square, what do bullets flying overhead with air support out of range do? Maybe their plan worked out exactly as planned…

[@jakezweig]

Has anybody watched Top Shot season 3 and seen what a punk this guy was. All he did was blame others for his own failures and when he finally got voted into elimination and had to compete one on one against another competitor he quit the competition instead of proving his own worth. He may have been a Navy Seal (which surprises the hell out of me considering he could never take accountability for his own actions), but he was a complete JERK on Top Shot. This guy is a complete FRAUD!
