I've been a fat lazy piece of $#@& my whole life, and my dad just passed away from a heart attack unexpectedly. Now I'm afraid the same will happen to me. Jocko, Joe Rogan, and EchoCharles have helped me find the motivation I need to take ownership and get in shape. I'm only a few weeks in, but this is happening. Any day that I just don't want to eat right, or work out, I listen to Jocko for five minutes and get my ass up and hit it hard. Thank you guys for doing this. Seriously. Thank you.
DAVID GOGGINS! The people want to hear/see this podcast! Put aside this “complex” about Goggins and air an epic interview with one of the most disciplined individuals on earth. He lives a good portion of what you preach with owning it, discipline, how to mentally and physically challenge yourself, etc. Goggins is the reason that I changed the way I do things day to day and for the better. His story inspired me (as well as thousands of others) and changed my mindset on several topics. Goggins IS discipline. He fits right it to what you preach on certain topics. Please “like” this comment so Jocko sees this and starts to consider bringing Goggins on the cast. I will post a request for Goggins on all casts going forward. It would be an epic interview.
Couldn’t agree more. Goggins represents the majority of what Jocko talks about. All the people that get butt hurt about your comment are just typical trolls with no other goal but to do what they do, “troll”.
@@ericlummus480 Are you sure that you understand what Jocko is talking about? Haven't you watched some prior videos where he shows why Goggins will not be invited? You should pay more attention.
Absolutely. Forest and hiking for me. Nothing better than saying one more mile about 6 times and finally finding that clearing or fire Tower access you've been after.
Waking up at 4-4:30 every morning for the past three years has changed my life for the better. Gotten me through many hardships, very good podcast. Discipline/Will training can change your life.
Physical fitness has been the best therapy for me. I was almost 300lbs and i lost 80lbs in about 3-4 month in the beginning of the year. Kept loosing weight progressivly each month since then. I work out, i hike, i run, i dive. I became more active, more confident, more assertive, less irritable and less susceptible to negative emotions. The physical transformation was the most visible to others but the mental transformation was the best for me. Your mind goes on journey of death and rebirth: It start with "i don't know if i can do it but i am gonna try " Then "it was hard but i did it" Then "it is no longer as hard as in the beginning" Then "I can do more " Then again "I can do even more" Then in the end it is "I can do anything !!!" Your body become a tool to navigate the world and no longer a burden. And your mind become the master of this tool. It feels so good. Healthier diet has been of great help too. I grow my own veggetables. And i am considering hunting to get my own meat by the end the year.
That's awesome, man. How long did you work out each day for those 3-4 months? I'm in the same physical state you were when you started. And hunting for your own meat is great. Just got my first two deer this season, and putting the meat in the freezer is a great feeling.
@@jbmitchell1212 I did not start with a fixed duration of exercise but rather with a quantity of exercises to accomplish: like 2 series of 10 push up and 2 series of 15 squats every morning, same thing in the evening when I get home from work. It doesn't seem like much but it was a start. I did a kind of "to do" list of exercises I had to accomplish. I crossed off each exercise I accomplished and it felt great. Actually I felt satisfied only after I crossed it off my to do list, it's a bit weird but that is how your brain works when you use a to do list I guess . I also walk or run as much as I can. Each time I have to go somewhere that is less than a 20min walk away I will walk. I walk or run up the stairs as fast as possible too(as safely as possible too) . Running or walking feels like hell when you are 300lbs, all the pain your body can feel will focus on your back.. But you have to do it. I'm not an expert or fitness coach but that is how I did it. From my failures at getting fit the previous years I understood that the secret is to set reasonably attainable but hard goals. It as to be hard enough to feel earned when you accomplish it. But it must not be too hard to the point that you will surely fail miserably and just give it all up. Yeah I look forward to begin hunting. I asked a friend and he is willing to teach me. Once I get the hang of it I will buy my own rifle.
Physical fitness not only helps you create resiliency mentally, in order to overcome goals, but releases endorphins and certain chemicals that help with digestion, sex drive, vascular growth, and overall better physical health! Which, in turn, will help you feel better as a whole, and have alot more in reserve to face mental stressors... Ps - thx for creating those excerpt playlists! Helps us save time routing through all the interviews!
In this day and age, we are presented with much time to ponder. This isn’t healthy as it promotes sad thoughts as well. Exercise releases endorphins that lift moods naturally and improve sleep. Thus, simply exercising and not thinking will make you happy. Get after it!
Bro now I understand why since this covid shit started and the gyms closed I've been so sad and unhappy with like everything. Nothing makes me happy, I can't enjoy anything and I have constant sad thoughts going through my head as I spend days without getting out of my house.
Hans I hear you man I’m in the same Boat. the couple of things I’m going to suggest to you is get on Facebook go to the market place where you can buy things. look up gym equipment people sell that shit for a couple hundred bucks and you can get yourself a fully stocked freeway set for 120 bucks, and then you could add on and get a treadmill for like 350bucks Or you can get one of those machines that you can do the chest and you can do your triceps and there you go you got your gym if you’re going to stay stuck in the house at least be productive with building ur body and ur mind. also it doesn’t have to be anything extravagant or crazy Just set yourself three goals for the morning get up early that shit sucks but you’ll feel better or to work out even if it’s just for an hour a day then bump it up two Just small things will help improve your life. Also go for a walk around your neighborhood around your city
YOU put YOURSELF in YOUR position. YOU sacrificed YOUR time, sweat, tears and blood to build YOUR lifestyle. Live YOUR life Jocko. I grew up riding dirtbikes and used to feel the same way about professional Supercross racers and Freestyle riders, until I matured and realized their sacrifices in life to get where they are... given my current profession, I see and speak with citizens all the time who envy celebrities who only post these photos of the "perfect" life. What they don't see is the drug addiction, mental problems, family issues and stress that they deal with behind the scenes. In my opinion, social media and the negative way it is being utilized is the downfall of society. Keep doing you and spreading the positive vibes!
Attitude reflects leadership. Nothing good never comes easy. Work hard give discipline and dedication to strive for what you really want. Recognize the difference between want and need. Making a difference in your own life as well as other is not a lifestyle. Its a CHOICE. What are you going to decide it all comes down to the individual. Thanks Jocko and Fellow Folks on the Podcast.
Fitness, weight lifting, and discipline has transformed my life. I now can be who I am bc of freedom in discipline. My schedule opens up and my head is level.
Has Jocko been interested in the philosophy of Stoicism perhaps? He seems like someone who would fit a Stoic life quite well. And I don't mean the lack of emotions kind of stoicism (or "Broicism"), but qualities like courage, virtue, enduring hardships, while retaining a zest for life, empathy and care for others.

These videos are awesome everyone of them. They've made me realize how weak and strong I am. 24 year old business owner 2 kids and a wife gotta make those deals come to you. I'm gonna force my 3 year old to watch jocko and red dawn on repeat until he's kicking my ass
Jocko In an era where everyone thinks they know everything, where good fathers are less and less common and ideologies are trusted upon us from birth through the media. I want to thank you for the hard truth that you have put out on the airwaves. I understand that it is my path, but great mentors deserve praise. I lost 100 pounds after highschool to drugs, I could not see past my own misery. ever since I got on the path 6 months ago I have gone completely sober, I workout 2 times a day, and I am back training judo (did it in highschool and miss the competitions.) so thanks jocko, you are a mentor for thousands of young men. so keep getting after it. ✊ (also just got a 4 dollar raise and a personal work truck!)
Echo: 1 of the guys in Lost was named mr.Echo....but he died though. Jocko: unamused face. I wish you wouldn't have given me that useless piece of information that's stuck in my head now. Too damn funny.
That last quote from Jocko hit home for me. Where he responds to Echo about wasted space in his head. Solid. That's exactly how I feel when people act like everyone likes the same music. Please people. Wear headphones.
Jocko, thank you for your willingness to give a personal example. It's freaking easy for many of us on the outside to be jealous of your level of success. But we only see where you are now and not the fact that you diligently pushed through a whole lot of shit to get to where you are now.
Jocko huge fan. I served 21 years in the Marine Corps and unfortunately had to retire after 13 surgeries and the pain that I put my body through. I told myself that when I retire I would become a fat body. However, that’s not me. When I was active, I surrounded myself with Marines that had the same goals which one of my brother in arms was (Cpl Jason Dunham). Now back what I want to get back in Marine Corps shape and practice my MMA. I do have a problem with prescription drugs and the pain that I have from head to foot. I’ve done it all when it comes to physical therapy, it would only work for a couple days. I started with 10 pushups now I’m at 50. At my peak I was a hard 290 PFT and was going to take my indoct for Recon, but a friend convinced me not to take it which I can’t regret due to the fact of my family. I believe God did not permit me to serve in combat due to the fact of my upbringing in Chicago. I don’t think I would have been a productive citizen. I did serve with V2/6, V3/2 when the snipers got caught peeing on the dead taliban. One of them has already committed suicide. I’m not sure what my question is really other than. I’ve been stuck after retiring almost a year ago. It’s been tough. I miss the Corps but at 100% permanent VA. It’s hard to lift certain things due to pain. I wish you or have the honor to speak to you because between you and Joe Rogan. You all have motivated me to get back on the Sandel and lift 15 pounds as oppose to 45. I do planks for my back and find myself doing or starting to due more exercises than lifting. I love my punching bag, but I can’t go full force. On one last note please keep what your doing because it has helped me along with my faith. Man if you ever have the time to talk. I can also tell you some of the most difficult but most noble assignments, such as the casualty officer. Which did a number mentality. But your videos like I stated before have helped me A LOT! Brother thank you and if you have time to ever talk to a Marine who life has been impacted by you can reach me at bunnytownboyz@gmail.com. But I do have questions on some of your challenges and how to overcome them with my specific injuries. I wish I can give you my number but I hope through emails, I might have the honor to speak to you. Once again thank you and God bless you and your family! R/S (Ret MSgt) Jeff Ordonez
Jocko you're one of the best ever. "Discipline equals freedom" is how you approached your grinds. I am happy that you are a success because you want the same for other people
@@nicholasmaxwell9899 Everyone has their own way of being fit and pushing themselves. My wife cycles. Miles and miles, and can hang with guys. Me? I can barely push off on the bike. Know why? Bc I choose to push myself in the gym and, yeah, run a bit. Also, you are judging him by the way he looks. Being in the military, I've seen all kinds of body types kill it at running. He has also stated how much running he did in the service, so he has mileage under his belt. Your comment clearly is narrow in it's scope.
@@WolfStreak I was in the military too, for 5 years. Guys with huge muscles cannot run for SHIT. It's basic physiology. If you want to be that huge, you SUCK at endurance. With almost no exceptions.
@@paintballjunkie65, it's all ages that are sapped by media and/or social media. Good point you made though. It's the various media(s) that sap us of our valuable time!
New listener as of about 8 weeks ago, former Marine of 10 years. Lost my way over the years with work, family and lack of discipline. I allowed the lies of the daily grind get me down. Today, everyday for the past 8 weeks, I get up early and get after it, I’ve not weighed myself as I no longer care about weight, but how I feel in my head and body. I get after my day from start to finish making every hour count for something leading me to freedom. Thank you. By the way, I fucking feel alive again! #getsome #disciplineequalsfreedom
the more we face our challenges the more self confidence we gain each person has to face their issues alone, support will come love will come first it must start with ourself. Thanks for the channel
My Tenn and preteen kids and their friends have been talking about and sharing Jocko podcasts the youth today yearn for knowledge and positive examples . Keep up the good work.
On 4:30am schedule now. Let’s see what will happen. Regarding fitness of body and mind, I can testify that I’m using the gains I was able to make on physical fitness in the past few years to feel convinced that I can do the same to my mind. So I’m going back to school, picking up calculus and linear algebra after 20 year not touching math, learning to program and about machine learning. I’m a big fan of breaking barriers, being it with age, gender, social status, race, orientation, cultural heritage, educational level. And the beginning of the journey has to start with you: believing yourself that you can do it. In that sense, I’m living the dream right now too.
luck = preparation x opportunity........you don't get lucky if you're not prepared to capitalize on, and have you're eyes open to opportunities. fairly new to this podcast but love it.
I am grateful to have nice equipment to utilize while over seas. I may be working all day, but I still get it immediately following the work day. Thank you for the insight on many topics. I read “Discipline Equals Freedom” in about 2 nights. Discipline saves lives, and allows you to more freely improve yourself. Finally starting to live the company motto “Standards, No Compromise”. Always improving my standard of living has opened my minds eye to what I’m capable of.
I love that Jocko Mentions he got lucky... We need to remember what luck is though, Luck is when PREPARATION meets OPPORTUNITY. In other words, luck does not negate the work. We still have a hand in our own progress either way. Probably feel that much more fortunate in the moment of whatever breakthrough too.
I’m living in a 450 sq ft apt after divorce and my ex getting my 2800 sq ft nice home I remodeled. I’m happier than I’ve ever been getting rid of her and her daughter who just used me for an ATM and crapped all over me cheating, lying , and stealing from me. They literally nearly killed me. Get the f*ck away from people who are toxic. Run from these people!
So many things said here confront me so much. So much time wasted on things that don’t inspire me to be better. I’m going to start today by appreciating and valuing the important moments of the day. It’s so easy to get sucked up by trivial entertainment. I needed to hear this. Thanks guys.
Really like that Jocko understands the small role luck may have had in his life AND that he appreciates the importance of art. So many Jiu-Jitsu and productive types totally dismiss art.
Jocko, thanks for your honest, down to earth lessons based on your real life perspective, worldview and experiences. I am very motivated to apply the discipline that I know I possess but have not been applying. Time to take much greater control of my life and time in the crucial areas of life: family (stepping up, work (puntuality), fitness and diet (starting where I'm at with what I've got) and self-control (emotions etc.). I have been passive for too long, lulled by success based on natural talent, without the drive to push myself harder and tap into my full potential. I realize that I have been avoiding the pain/discomfort inherent in exerting more energy and effort in various areas of life. You make the grind worth it from a point of the reward of intrinsic motivation and successive successes from surpassing yourself at higher and higher levels of attainment/performance. Thanks bro, blessings and peace. I have only recently been listening to the podcast via youtube between you and Echo, it is a good mix of great advice, humour and testosterone with a large side of humility. Great show.
Staying consistent working out and lifting or whatever physical activity requires good food and nutrient dense and calorie dense foods, so once you see results in the gym or training in your art, you will notice eating clean gives results. So overall your diet, strength, confidence, testosterone, self-esteem all increases and you feel better overall, it is discipline. The ability to stay consistent in the face of not seeing instant results.
@@robsonvonbrum1618 if it's his first day starting then it's okay. You need to be tired to sleep on time. Likely when you begin getting up early it won't be after 8 hours
Started working out last year, but got really serious about it during our version of the COVID shutdown here and have been getting after it ever since. I had a complete turnaround form being lazy and avoiding workouts, to now wanting it. Craving it.
Please get Todd Opalski on the show. He's a Bodybuilding Force Recon Marine Scout Sniper Ranger Qualified Delta Force Operator. Veteran of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Desert Storm. Thanks.
Bravo brother!! Just found you, thank you for your service. Awesome message. Joe Rogan recommended your podcast. Getting ready to start my own. Retired cop 35 years. Comedian, author, actor, producer. I will be watching. Love what you're doing.
Mens sana in corpore sano is a Latin phrase, usually translated as "a healthy mind in a healthy body". The phrase is widely used in sporting and educational contexts to express the theory that physical exercise is an important or essential part of mental and psychological well-being.
I'd be interested in hearing more stories from when Jocko and his family were crammed into that shack. I've also missed out on most podcasts. If anyone knows, i'd appreciate a link. Thanks. Get some!
Preparation is done through unrelenting discipline, discipline in itself will fall apart with the wrong prep/plan. When ready, opportunity can be taken, not before. Freedom is the fruit of taking action into achievements, lost energy on excesses will drain you empty.
I'm obsessed with art, but I want to become an artist, so it also has utility for me. There's nothing wrong with discussing the plot or fictional characters, but I completely understand what he's saying: don't waste your life on things that don't really matter to you; doing nothing with your life and discuss nonsense on television or who plays in Manchester City on Sunday.
I love this. I was always into working out, but when I was 21 years old, I went hardcore with it after seeing a "Fix your life" vid with Joe Rogan. Later I stumbled across Jocko. I didn't like him cause I thought he was too much of a hardass... At the time, lol. Fast forward later on (still 21), I was still working out/dieting religiously, but started spiriling with alcoholism. I had been listening to Jocko for about 3 or 4 months by then. One night, (about a year ago), I finally hit bottom and got a DWI. I sat in the county jail and instead of self pitying I said to myself "good. Time to get serious and fix this shit". Got out the next day, started attending AA, had to move back in with my mom cause I lost whatever little money I had to get my truck out the tow yard. A few months later after saving and working hard to get my shit together, I caught a break at work. The CEO at my job gave everyone a very generous Christmas bonus. I used some of that money to buy myself a bed and move back out again. Now, I have a bed, a reliable car, I'm reunited with my cat and have more pets now and I"m in the best shape of my life and over a year alcohol free.... All because, discipline equals freedom.
Bro that’s fucking amazing that you accomplished that big fucking ups and at 21 bro dude Crushing it.and absolutely you just have to stay on the path that you’re on!! I’m 24 and I’m kind of just now starting to Build myself Again it’s only the first couple of days I’m gonna do this for the next six months And absolutely discipline equals freedom:) keep it up bubba

"discipline is freedom" this is the first time I've heard this @jockowillink , solid quote, thank you
These videos are awesome everyone of them. They've made me realize how weak and strong I am. 24 year old business owner 2 kids and a wife gotta make those deals come to you. I'm gonna force my 3 year old to watch jocko and red dawn on repeat until he's kicking my ass
This is Hilarious! Tell me when this pays off in 15years and he finally kicks your ass. I'll await my update.
This podcast episode right here....is one of the best examinations of the consequences of hard work and discipline that I have ever heard.
Jocko, you should never feel bad about what you have now. You have definitely earned it and you’ve given back so much.
"The stronger you get, the stronger you GET!" YES
For me going to the gym with breathing problems every day and working out till I'm completely exhausted is the best therapy ever.
Discipline = Freedom
THE KEY TO LIFE
"...Do Something Gooood!" Coming from such a epic human, is freakin inspiring for truth☆☆☆☆☆
Sending mass respect and Appreciation good Sirs!
Jocko
In an era where everyone thinks they know everything, where good fathers are less and less common and ideologies are trusted upon us from birth through the media. I want to thank you for the hard truth that you have put out on the airwaves. I understand that it is my path, but great mentors deserve praise. I lost 100 pounds after highschool to drugs, I could not see past my own misery. ever since I got on the path 6 months ago I have gone completely sober, I workout 2 times a day, and I am back training judo (did it in highschool and miss the competitions.) so thanks jocko, you are a mentor for thousands of young men. so keep getting after it. ✊
(also just got a 4 dollar raise and a personal work truck!)
Echo: 1 of the guys in Lost was named mr.Echo....but he died though.
Jocko: unamused face. I wish you wouldn't have given me that useless piece of information that's stuck in my head now.
Too damn funny.
When did that dialogue happen in this video?
14:00
That's not what he said at all lol but ok. "Waste mental space on it"
That last quote from Jocko hit home for me. Where he responds to Echo about wasted space in his head. Solid. That's exactly how I feel when people act like everyone likes the same music. Please people. Wear headphones.
Not when I'm on the block. You're gonna hear it and you're gonna like it!
Jocko, thank you for your willingness to give a personal example. It's freaking easy for many of us on the outside to be jealous of your level of success. But we only see where you are now and not the fact that you diligently pushed through a whole lot of shit to get to where you are now.
Jocko huge fan. I served 21 years in the Marine Corps and unfortunately had to retire after 13 surgeries and the pain that I put my body through. I told myself that when I retire I would become a fat body. However, that’s not me. When I was active, I surrounded myself with Marines that had the same goals which one of my brother in arms was (Cpl Jason Dunham). Now back what I want to get back in Marine Corps shape and practice my MMA. I do have a problem with prescription drugs and the pain that I have from head to foot. I’ve done it all when it comes to physical therapy, it would only work for a couple days. I started with 10 pushups now I’m at 50. At my peak I was a hard 290 PFT and was going to take my indoct for Recon, but a friend convinced me not to take it which I can’t regret due to the fact of my family. I believe God did not permit me to serve in combat due to the fact of my upbringing in Chicago. I don’t think I would have been a productive citizen. I did serve with V2/6, V3/2 when the snipers got caught peeing on the dead taliban. One of them has already committed suicide. I’m not sure what my question is really other than. I’ve been stuck after retiring almost a year ago. It’s been tough. I miss the Corps but at 100% permanent VA. It’s hard to lift certain things due to pain. I wish you or have the honor to speak to you because between you and Joe Rogan. You all have motivated me to get back on the Sandel and lift 15 pounds as oppose to 45. I do planks for my back and find myself doing or starting to due more exercises than lifting. I love my punching bag, but I can’t go full force. On one last note please keep what your doing because it has helped me along with my faith. Man if you ever have the time to talk. I can also tell you some of the most difficult but most noble assignments, such as the casualty officer. Which did a number mentality. But your videos like I stated before have helped me A LOT! Brother thank you and if you have time to ever talk to a Marine who life has been impacted by you can reach me at
bunnytownboyz@gmail.com. But I do have questions on some of your challenges and how to overcome them with my specific injuries. I wish I can give you my number but I hope through emails, I might have the honor to speak to you. Once again thank you and God bless you and your family!

You never get time back.
Duh?
Jocko you're one of the best ever. "Discipline equals freedom" is how you approached your grinds. I am happy that you are a success because you want the same for other people
That pen looks minuscule in Echo's hand. Dude is JAAAACKKED.
Echo Swol patrol ain't as big as he was doe
Guess he doesn't care about fitness though considering he doesn't look like he could run a mile.
@@nicholasmaxwell9899 Everyone has their own way of being fit and pushing themselves. My wife cycles. Miles and miles, and can hang with guys. Me? I can barely push off on the bike. Know why? Bc I choose to push myself in the gym and, yeah, run a bit. Also, you are judging him by the way he looks. Being in the military, I've seen all kinds of body types kill it at running. He has also stated how much running he did in the service, so he has mileage under his belt. Your comment clearly is narrow in it's scope.
@@WolfStreak I was in the military too, for 5 years. Guys with huge muscles cannot run for SHIT. It's basic physiology. If you want to be that huge, you SUCK at endurance. With almost no exceptions.
@@nicholasmaxwell9899 No exceptions, huh? Damn, you got it all figured out. I mean, I can't argue with physiology.
The more I watch the more I love echo Charles
Get rid of television. Seriously. TV does nothing for us except suck the life right out of us!
Ditto 👌 that my good sir
Hogwash.
I haven’t had tv in about 8 years
Only for older people. Most people my age(20s) never really watched TV. Our cellphones are what drain us. RUclips, Social Media, Google etc.
@@paintballjunkie65, it's all ages that are sapped by media and/or social media.
Good point you made though. It's the various media(s) that sap us of our valuable time!
New listener as of about 8 weeks ago, former Marine of 10 years. Lost my way over the years with work, family and lack of discipline. I allowed the lies of the daily grind get me down. Today, everyday for the past 8 weeks, I get up early and get after it, I’ve not weighed myself as I no longer care about weight, but how I feel in my head and body. I get after my day from start to finish making every hour count for something leading me to freedom. Thank you. By the way, I fucking feel alive again! #getsome #disciplineequalsfreedom

Get some devil dog!!!
Cliff Hatcher it’s my daily thing now. Feels good to be back on my way to feeling great mentally and physically. Thank you. Semper Fi~
Echos confidence is consistently growing as Jocko Podcast goes on through the years.
Nah, don't feel that way, Jocko. Your posts are inspiration for us to get after it and try to build a life similar to yours.
"That day is only going to go by one time"
Thank you Jocko
this actually true after I grind hard on the gym early in the morning I am LEGIT glowing as if I had a big dose of cocaine
Imagine jocko as your landlord 😂
better not be late with the rent....
Orlando Silva we get advice for free from jocko lol
Maybe personal mentor
I’d be at his place more than where I’m renting from him so I could learn life lessons every day😁.
I was thinking the same thing. Probably a great landlord to have tbh.
one should never feel ashamed but be humbled by the fruits of ones labor due to discipline and sacrifice.
"I'm not Familiar with this" Jocko
Discipline equals freedom and get up and go get it is what I got out of this podcast that is awesome man!
This is exactly what I needed to hear at this time in my life, thank you!
Success is when preparation meets opportunity.
He is right-- opportunities are good coming to your doorstep! You must take action and step out in faith boldly!
the more we face our challenges the more self confidence we gain each person has to face their issues alone, support will come love will come first it must start with ourself. Thanks for the channel
My Tenn and preteen kids and their friends have been talking about and sharing Jocko podcasts the youth today yearn for knowledge and positive examples . Keep up the good work.
Jocko's blunt response of "I am not familiar with this" after Echo mentions Keeping up with the Kardashians was pretty damn funny. 😂
On 4:30am schedule now. Let’s see what will happen. Regarding fitness of body and mind, I can testify that I’m using the gains I was able to make on physical fitness in the past few years to feel convinced that I can do the same to my mind. So I’m going back to school, picking up calculus and linear algebra after 20 year not touching math, learning to program and about machine learning. I’m a big fan of breaking barriers, being it with age, gender, social status, race, orientation, cultural heritage, educational level. And the beginning of the journey has to start with you: believing yourself that you can do it. In that sense, I’m living the dream right now too.
luck = preparation x opportunity........you don't get lucky if you're not prepared to capitalize on, and have you're eyes open to opportunities. fairly new to this podcast but love it.
I am grateful to have nice equipment to utilize while over seas. I may be working all day, but I still get it immediately following the work day. Thank you for the insight on many topics. I read “Discipline Equals Freedom” in about 2 nights. Discipline saves lives, and allows you to more freely improve yourself. Finally starting to live the company motto “Standards, No Compromise”. Always improving my standard of living has opened my minds eye to what I’m capable of.
I love that Jocko Mentions he got lucky... We need to remember what luck is though, Luck is when PREPARATION meets OPPORTUNITY. In other words, luck does not negate the work. We still have a hand in our own progress either way. Probably feel that much more fortunate in the moment of whatever breakthrough too.
I’m living in a 450 sq ft apt after divorce and my ex getting my 2800 sq ft nice home I remodeled. I’m happier than I’ve ever been getting rid of her and her daughter who just used me for an ATM and crapped all over me cheating, lying , and stealing from me. They literally nearly killed me. Get the f*ck away from people who are toxic. Run from these people!
You married a single mom. Looking back on it I am sure you now realize you brought that on yourself.
Oh yes. I will never date a single mom again.
@@phoenixrisin2269 Tell your story to others it is not uncommon but as men we need to share more to help each other.
So many things said here confront me so much. So much time wasted on things that don’t inspire me to be better. I’m going to start today by appreciating and valuing the important moments of the day. It’s so easy to get sucked up by trivial entertainment. I needed to hear this. Thanks guys.
love this one....so many universal truths....nothing new ....but so much timeless information...love you brothers...
Watch out for those narcissists out there, they do not want to see you happy and will covertly attack you.
That is awesome that you get to do those things. I am working my way to that, discipline equals freedom.
Thanks, Jocko and Echo. I needed that today.
I really appreciate the humility with this guy. I wouldn’t have made it this far with this podcast if that was not the case.
Movement is life.
This podcast was just the swift kick to the twig and berries I needed. Thanks Jocko and Echo!
Really like that Jocko understands the small role luck may have had in his life AND that he appreciates the importance of art. So many Jiu-Jitsu and productive types totally dismiss art.
Hey Jocko thanks for the video
Jocko, thanks for your honest, down to earth lessons based on your real life perspective, worldview and experiences. I am very motivated to apply the discipline that I know I possess but have not been applying. Time to take much greater control of my life and time in the crucial areas of life: family (stepping up, work (puntuality), fitness and diet (starting where I'm at with what I've got) and self-control (emotions etc.). I have been passive for too long, lulled by success based on natural talent, without the drive to push myself harder and tap into my full potential. I realize that I have been avoiding the pain/discomfort inherent in exerting more energy and effort in various areas of life. You make the grind worth it from a point of the reward of intrinsic motivation and successive successes from surpassing yourself at higher and higher levels of attainment/performance. Thanks bro, blessings and peace. I have only recently been listening to the podcast via youtube between you and Echo, it is a good mix of great advice, humour and testosterone with a large side of humility. Great show.
Staying consistent working out and lifting or whatever physical activity requires good food and nutrient dense and calorie dense foods, so once you see results in the gym or training in your art, you will notice eating clean gives results. So overall your diet, strength, confidence, testosterone, self-esteem all increases and you feel better overall, it is discipline. The ability to stay consistent in the face of not seeing instant results.
"I'm not familiar with that" is the best response to 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'.
Your an inspiration Sir.. your hard work, achievements, mindset, & wisdom are a positive inspiration to many.
I just set my alarm for 4:33am and it’s 12:42am !I’ll let you know how the workout goes!
Shitty. 8h sleep the night before is the best pre workout there is.
That's a rough life
@@robsonvonbrum1618 if it's his first day starting then it's okay. You need to be tired to sleep on time. Likely when you begin getting up early it won't be after 8 hours
In the words of the great Jocko:
GOOD..
Up at 4:00am its 4:20am now where u at
When he said “ I wish you wouldn’t have given me that information for my head. You’ve wasted space in my head”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Started working out last year, but got really serious about it during our version of the COVID shutdown here and have been getting after it ever since. I had a complete turnaround form being lazy and avoiding workouts, to now wanting it. Craving it.
You help me so much. Keep talking! 😉
You earned your lifestyle!!!! I am aiming for that. Keep getting after it!!! GOOOODDDDD
The days are long and the years are short.
Please get Todd Opalski on the show. He's a Bodybuilding Force Recon Marine Scout Sniper Ranger Qualified Delta Force Operator. Veteran of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Desert Storm. Thanks.
Echo and Jocko are badasses! Thanks for the clips bro 👌👍
Bravo brother!! Just found you, thank you for your service. Awesome message. Joe Rogan recommended your podcast. Getting ready to start my own. Retired cop 35 years. Comedian, author, actor, producer. I will be watching. Love what you're doing.
Thanks for sharing your great words and example Jocko. Discipline=Freedom. Inspired.
You earned your dream with blood ,sweat and tears. Only you know your sacrefice.
“You only got shot at a day, what re you going to do?” Im gonna keep listening to jocko
That room is so bright! Or maybe it’s the after workout glow of your souls . . .
Mens sana in corpore sano is a Latin phrase, usually translated as "a healthy mind in a healthy body". The phrase is widely used in sporting and educational contexts to express the theory that physical exercise is an important or essential part of mental and psychological well-being.
I'd be interested in hearing more stories from when Jocko and his family were crammed into that shack. I've also missed out on most podcasts. If anyone knows, i'd appreciate a link. Thanks. Get some!
Preparation is done through unrelenting discipline, discipline in itself will fall apart with the wrong prep/plan. When ready, opportunity can be taken, not before. Freedom is the fruit of taking action into achievements, lost energy on excesses will drain you empty.
Thank you
I'm obsessed with art, but I want to become an artist, so it also has utility for me. There's nothing wrong with discussing the plot or fictional characters, but I completely understand what he's saying: don't waste your life on things that don't really matter to you; doing nothing with your life and discuss nonsense on television or who plays in Manchester City on Sunday.
Physical fitness literally saves lives. Physically and mentally.
Everything these guys preach is simple. But none of it is easy. It's about making it count.
Lost was an hour a week. It’s a fantastic show and an inspiring show so. Echo. Pump the breaks
I love this. I was always into working out, but when I was 21 years old, I went hardcore with it after seeing a "Fix your life" vid with Joe Rogan. Later I stumbled across Jocko. I didn't like him cause I thought he was too much of a hardass... At the time, lol. Fast forward later on (still 21), I was still working out/dieting religiously, but started spiriling with alcoholism. I had been listening to Jocko for about 3 or 4 months by then. One night, (about a year ago), I finally hit bottom and got a DWI. I sat in the county jail and instead of self pitying I said to myself "good. Time to get serious and fix this shit". Got out the next day, started attending AA, had to move back in with my mom cause I lost whatever little money I had to get my truck out the tow yard. A few months later after saving and working hard to get my shit together, I caught a break at work. The CEO at my job gave everyone a very generous Christmas bonus. I used some of that money to buy myself a bed and move back out again. Now, I have a bed, a reliable car, I'm reunited with my cat and have more pets now and I"m in the best shape of my life and over a year alcohol free.... All because, discipline equals freedom.
Bro that’s fucking amazing that you accomplished that big fucking ups and at 21 bro dude Crushing it.and absolutely you just have to stay on the path that you’re on!! I’m 24 and I’m kind of just now starting to
Build myself Again it’s only the first couple of days I’m gonna do this for the next six months And absolutely discipline equals freedom:) keep it up bubba
@@seanm7539 Thanks dude! That means a lot! And hell yeah, it ain't easy and I've slacked a few times, but never let it be more than just 1 day of slacking. It ain't easy, but well fucking worth it brotha!
I can so relate. It’s maddening with other people who just don’t get it. But it’s a waste of time explaining to them.
Dude I love that he mentioned Bob Hoffman... York Barbell Club!!!
My OCD is going crazy with the knife laying there blade up.
