Echo did a fantastic job with the edit.

[@hv4285]

When you have a leader who "seeks" help from you, you'd voluntarily bust your ass doing the best job. Echo did fantastic job capturing Jocko's personality, and it's good because Jocko is the real deal

[@jamajnasoares5702]

It was a GOOD evening.

Just so the credit goes where it’s due, this is a @maccoshamfilms production / edit ... And I agree that it is, in fact, FANTASTIC.

[@echocharles]

.... In addition... @maccoshamfilms is the one in the last video "Jocko's Employees Fight at The Arnolds" that wins the grappling match in the JKO Fuel booth. Curly hair, etc.

15:56: "It's difficult to make a person appreciate freedom when they've never lost theirs." This is why Jocko's "discipline = freedom" is so powerful to me. I've never been a POW (or in the military), but I was trafficked for 5.5 years as a teenager. I was held captive and, for lack of a better word because I don't know another, tortured. I had no freedom and felt like I was stripped of my humanity because I was treated sub-human for so long. I ran away at 17, and I used my fierce work ethic to make sure I never HAD to go back home to that place for any reason. My relentless discipline in all things has given me freedom from my mom and the traffickers, drug addiction, domestic violence situations, homelessness, and extreme poverty. And my continued discipline after I got out of survival mode has given my kids freedom from everything I had to go through in life because they don't have to experience it. The cycle has been broken. That alone is worth it.

Incredible interview

[@user-hz5rk5vy1t]

Holy smokes, Cat. You sound like a badass and survivor. I hope that you're doing OK. I'm struggling, but I'll battle my way out.

[@bennieseybold5020]

“What is my definition of greatness? Helping other people.” Says a lot coming from one of the most badass, accomplished people alive.

[@thomascarroll8181]

Badass = shaved head, big ego.

[@scottsmith7191]

First, I have a LOT of respect for Jocko. The mind puzzle here is who decides what is 'helping' & what does that 'help' look like?

If joko buzz is true, you may want to pause your fantasy.

[@MereMortalsBookReviews]

Thanking the man everyday

[@Ilwacowrestler]

The straw that broke the camels back; stumbling upon Jocko’s podcast got me started on my Jiu Jitsu commitment.

[@brisoler]

Same!

[@FieldMarshalRommel23]

Well done! How’s it going for you? I do some boxing to keep fit and maintain my ability to defend myself but most street fights even end up in a clinch, wrestling type fight or go to the ground so I might look into Jiu Jitsu…

[@Ilwacowrestler]

@@FieldMarshalRommel23 I would absolutely recommend doing some form of grappling! Unless you are a huge individual, standing up and trading blows almost always favors the person with the longer reach. I’m not a fan of having to knock someone out to subdue them either!

[@FieldMarshalRommel23]

@@Ilwacowrestler I’m 6ft4 and 275lbs and I’m naturally very strong. I found growing up fighting on the streets for me personally, stamina was most important. I’m a natural grappler, I use my size and strength to physically over power the other person and force them down but I have no formal training. As for trading blows, I feel stamina is more important than reach. Reach is useless if your exhausted after twenty seconds and believe me fights are EXHAUSTING. Is Jiu Jitsu the same thing the MMA guys swear by?

[@Masshole78]

I have no military background i haven’t had a drink since march 18 2008. Jocko laid the groundwork for so many of us. Ppl called me out on my shit a long time ago. Ppl like jocko are once in a lifetime. Thank you god for jocko. This is an emotional post because he made it possible for me to change the way I think and do things. God bless him his friends his family 💪🏻🫡

[@DCTrumpet04]

Being a teacher, Jocko’s lessons inspire me to not only better myself for myself, but better myself for the young people I try to impact everyday. His is the true definition of leadership and discipline.

[@FieldMarshalRommel23]

You never know buddy, one of your students might go on to do something that changes history, always look at them that way.

[@martinvanderwalt497]

I am from South Africa however I want to make a prediction..... if Jocko ever goes into politics the USA will see things that they never have seen before. Pray for his protection.

They used a huge amount of footage of Marines in Ramadi. I am in this at 9:27. Was the XO of 2/4 at the time, 2004.

[@thomascarroll8181]

THEY are the real Heroes!

[@shootscoot883]

Are the accusations true about Jako getting all those Marines killed by basically going into the AO and unleashing Chris Kyle???

[@skativate3318]

My biggest inspiration, not a day goes by without the podcast playing

[@catstickler]

19:06: "You could be in the most horrific situation, but we get to decide how things are going to impact us." I wish I heard this when I was a teenager. It probably would've prevented me from reacting out of fear so much, and I could've avoided some terrible situations. But this realization that I'm in control of how things impact me is why I tell stories for organizations and people who do good. I channeled my pain and trauma into my fire to do good with my skills.

[@Cowboy_Nel]

Absolutely legendary. Been following Jocko since his first podcast. I used his ownership lines in firefighter interviews. Nobody knew where I came up with such impressive answers. Today everyone knows. And the world is better for it. I’m so thankful for your success. Not just for you Jocko. But for the world! The hero we need but truly don’t deserve. God bless

[@MyEric90]

If only I could tell Jocko how he saved my life. His podcasts and words changed my life during the darkest of time.. Thank you Jocko, God Bless you.

[@robertsmallwoodjr7640]

Thank you for creating this doc, Jocko Fuel. And thank you to Jocko - been a listener since 2015, mere months after being in jail and going through divorce courts and custody battles because I screwed up. It was definitely a turning point for me. His story and podcast/books, etc aren't a magical solution - like he says, we have to do the work. We all struggle, even now for myself. But his work has been a source of inspiration and a reminder of what potential we all have, if we work. Tremendous film about a tremendous life.

Wow….this was great!!! Thank you for sharing it with us….now I have to go get after it

[@RoninSerradaEscrimadore]

I am so fccking proud to have served with men like this. I wasn't a SEAL, I was just a dirty nasty Air Assault leg, but there are universal truths out there. What Jocko says are among those. Speaking of selfless service, Jocko, is still serving. He is serving his brothers and sisters and fellow countrymen with his wisdom, his knowledge, his tenacity, his strength. He is the living embodiment of a saying. That saying is; "A candle does not lose its' light by lighting other candles." He is a torch for us all. When I was down and beaten up and recovering from war injuries and surgeries; his words came out of the darkness and called me to run into the fire. That which gives light must endure burning. Jocko has been there for me and we've never met. His words have guided me through dark times like the voices of my father (who is deceased) or the voices of my ancestors who tell me I have the strength to drive on through the pain. I can't thank Jocko enough. To the creators of this video; you have captured that essence in this video. I also can't thank you enough for this content. Of all the shht channels out there, this video and this channel shine through like the sun amidst the dark emptiness. Godspeed and goodwill to everyone else. Keep grinding. Keep going. Never quit.

I absolutely adore this man. The world needs this man, his ethics, his moral compass and leadership more than ever. There are so many young (and older) men who lack a great role model, and blueprint of what it is to be a man. I tell everyone who will listen (even those who resist 😂) about Jocko. Those who have the drive and want to be better, they pay attention. Echo… you’re a good man, too! You two create the perfect pairing with your opposite styles of personalities (dominant and chill). I came across your podcast late last year and have started from the beginning. I adore you both ❤️ Back to the video.. one of my favourite parts, 7:42, when Jocko turns his head and says yes! He scared the thought out of that little kid’s head 😂
