Jocko was never born...  He was tactically deployed.

"other than death, all failure is psychological"

“What is my definition of greatness? Helping other people.”

Says a lot coming from one of the most badass, accomplished people alive.

Echo did a fantastic job with the edit.

"Help out other people"..."that's what we are doing"...a best brother on the planet!

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

My buddy who served in the Marines sent me Discipline Equals Freedom…changed my life. Thanks Watkins..thank you Jocko

jocko is my fuckin hero man. I told myself I would square my life away in 2024, I've already seen a lot of positive changes, amd day 1 january 1st started with jocko leading the way.

A good leader doesn’t tell people what to do, he shows them how to do it.

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.

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

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.

The world needs more people like Jocko and less people like the Kardashians.

Hey Jocko. I am an English women. A first responder and after listening to you several times. I realised I had the same ethics towards helping people. Discipline is paramount in every aspect of our lives. You are a true hero. Thank you for your service.

Jocko is a solid human. Man, we need more people like him. It all starts from HOME.

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 💪🏻🫡

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

Jocko is one of my heroes. I went active duty b/c of him.
