Echo sent this question in to trick Jocko into letting him answer a question

Nice flank, Echo!

[@summocommentaction3273]

He's not worried about the battle, he's winning the war.

Echo is the perfect balance for Jocko he takes the perspective of the listener, otherwise the podcast would be too intense and sharp.

[@OnyxWolf47]

Well said

[@hanokohatsu1799]

Echos from Hawaii that’s why 🤙🏾

[@Ealdorman_of_Mercia]

I dont know, i like the monologues of Jocko. They are intense and military style. I have some parts as alarm.

[@shawnsmith1865]

Fair assessment

[@Cattleherder2394]

Fully agree. I'd still listen if it was just Jocko but I appreciate Echo's questions especially, since I don't know Military terminology for example. Echo for sure makes the podcast better.

[@SepticXable]

Id listen to the Echo Podcast, where Echo talks about [anything], and Jocko sits back and just busts his chops.

I love how humble Echo is even though he can crack the heads of most men with his biceps alone.

[@HELLISHHANDZ]

Those biceps are fucking ridiculous.

It's great chemistry. Echo brings out the humor and gives that "every man" angle.

[@shredwarfare5446]

At first, I didn't really care about Echo, I was into Jocko, and Echo to me was just like a random sidekick. But over time I realized he's a really interesting character. He is like clearly wicked tough, but also he is so nice and pure and has a heart of gold. That's actually a really special and valuable person. He's also very funny. And perfectly compliments big scary Jocko. Over time spent watching the podcasts I realize I enjoy more and more whenever Echo speaks.

[@fromobile9]

"Yeah." - Echo Charles

[@billymays1761]

Echo is an acquired taste, more subtle in his personality but he really shines in this podcast and is the perfect counter-balance to Jocko.

I love Echo. In fact there are times I come to the Podcast purely for Echo. He's such a sweet, chill, self assured but humble guy. And you know someone is good when all the little devices just seem like a natural flow, but I'm a creative too and I see you and all the little imporTtant details

[@loueelouuu]

Kinda gay

[@jordanfrancisco27]

I see what you did there. LiTerally saw it.

[@ClearViewSolutionsMS]

Love Echo! For a while I didn't know Echo Charles was his real name. I thought he was an ex military guy using a name.

[@AMG-316]

Really? That's a great fuckin name. Kudos to his parents. Must have been divine foresight on his path to Jocko!!!

[@zs4556]

@ Chris Ryan I thought the same thing. It wasn't till recently I realized it myself. His twin brother's name is Jade which I think is pretty cool too.

[@blademaster9575]

Holy shit! Thank you for posting this comment i had no idea Echo was actually his name. That's badass

[@wib6044]

Me too. His name is literally two military phonetic letters! I thought his real name was something with E C, and they just used “Echo Charlie” as a nickname. He probably would have had a hard time in the military. Whats your name son? No I got that, e, c, what’s the rest?!?

[@davidledoux1736]

Great episode! EC speaks directly to me when he's talking about overcoming procrastination and getting things done. So glad to know I'm not alone in this. 12:16 "It's up to me what I spend my time doing and it's up to me what I fill my head with." Wisdom.

Both of you have been a positive influence, thank you for your service

[@Tony-hh3yc]

Charles is right about not wanting to do things then seeing it as a challenge and doing it. I told a friend of mines let’s go hiking. He’s like why? Since he knows I don’t like hiking but I love to workout. Anywho I told him I’m doing it because I don’t wanna do it. His response was like “okay, doesn’t make sense”. I’m like I know. But when you start doing the things you don’t wanna do life gets better and easier. Thank you jocko for that!!!!

[@johnmadany9829]

Echo, great to hear your experiences. We have some things in common, we both lost a lot of hours to Hawaii 50. Another thing we have in common is learning from Jocko and taking responsibility. That will help me for the rest of my life. I needed a pick me up this morning as COVID-19 can get a doctor down.

[@stevenengelhardt345]

Echo, I wish I could be there learning one on one as you do with jocko, I think your doing amazing, this man with others has seriously cleared things up for me to focus on the greater picture

[@jerrymuns]

Great podcast!! Perfect timing for me to hear. Thank you.

[@dsg1992]

The inside jokes, references and comments from the listeners on Jocko's podcasts are truly gold. Love this community! #GetAfterIt

[@mattwp10]

The reason it sticks out when Jocko says it is because he freaking lives it. He eats, sleeps, and shits discipline and ownership and responsibility. The message he carries has depth and weight becuase he has made it who he is in the deepest parts within himself. Hes not selling anything, he is simply setting the example.

Awesome. Thank you.

[@davidgroves9113]

It''s interesting to watch myself.. AS I dedicate time towards watching/listening to the show & podcast. It's a form of me coming to terms with the limitations that I've placed onto myself, taking responsibility for that, and learning how to get after it. Because of this show I've learned about some key books and materials that have changed the course of my life. I've developed habits that are positive and crushed some negative ones. I start BJJ training in 2 weeks, all because of this podcast and content. It's so interesting to look back over the last 6 months and see a clear separation from the path that I was walking, and the one I'm walking now. Time to get after it.

[@matthieuleperlier251]

Echo just seems like a big teddy bear. He could break you in two pieces, but he's really chill and nice. I feel like I got to know Echo a little from this video, so thank you for that!

Very important lessons here. Both you and Jonny Kim just mentioned this as well. People not being "ready" to take a message is certainly a thing. Being in a program with younger people I would often try to give advice to people who even sought it, but didn't use it. I wondered if there was something about me that was deficient and i could never figure out why they wouldn't take the advice then go and make the exact mistake I tried to help them not make, so they learn the lesson the hard way because they weren't ready to listen. Any tips for overcoming this? Is it just credibility on my part? Or willingness on their end?
