Jocko Willink - Creating An Unbreakable Mindset (4K)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 май 2024
- Jocko Willink is a retired United States Navy officer in SEAL Team 3, an author and a podcaster.
Finding discipline in the modern world is hard. A hyper convenient existence rarely encourages radical responsibility or extreme ownership. Thankfully Jocko has spent an entire life learning how to love discomfort, and also teaching others how to love it too. If discipline equals freedom then Jocko must be one of the freest men on the planet.
Expect to learn what Jocko thinks about the Detroit self-defence guy, why discipline always beats motivation, the similarities between elite special forces and elite BJJ athletes, Jocko's opinion on Jordan Peterson, how to get over an ex, whether he regrets being famous after working in the shadows for so long, how he used a Jim Carrey impression to chat up his wife, whether he wants to try psychedelics and much more...

Thanks Chris! Only a few mins in but can tell it’s a good one, with Jocko being on form
As always, thank you for the timestamps
Wait.. YOU didn’t have friends & think you have a sprinkle of autism?
Thanks for sharing. As someone who’s concerned I may have a dab of autism in me, it’s comforting.
What’s the time stamp where Jocko starts actually sounding like he wants to have a conversation and stops needlessly shutting Chris down.
@@johnfraser5462 ay his mind has gone a bit soupy, innit.
A gem of a conversation. Thank you gentleman for recording this for all to hear and learn.
And thank you for being the gem of reason that you are. You are quite literally a gentleman and a scholar, non ironically.
Thank you mate. Appreciate you!
Did this country ever really have the _ability_ to *treat* patients with mental health issues? By the numbers, we had the capacity, but was anything effective?
Are there modern treatments that are effective ?
I have my doubts about the ability to genuinely *help* people who have issues.
Treat them, sure, but help them... I have doubts.
@@raifsevrence we are all wired different, and the "measures of values" that have been superimposed onto reality without our collective informed consent
How I wish I had heard such voices when I was a much younger man. Almost 60 now, however I have still benefited greatly from listening here, as well as many times listening to Andrew Huberman.
I can’t help but contemplate the butterfly effect, as I first heard each of you and many other now very influential voices, on JRE.
Many thanks to you all, my life is much richer for having listened 👍
"Everyday you don't do work you're going backwards." The best line in the whole podcast. Jocko has a way of cutting right to the point -- he's a leadership surgeon!
Whats the point in working and moving forwards though. What is the end goal. Seems utterly pointless, why not be happy in the now instead
@@r4nowoProgress brings more happiness and joy and stagnation/regression leads to a lot of pain and regret that feels like hell especially when you start measuring potentially who you would have become.
Time stamp?
ok go do it then nobody cares what other people do , we all know that doesnt bring happiness because most of us have lived that already , chasing instant gratification and comfort is always short lived and leads to extreme depression. the people who are stuck laying in bed all day or stuck at a job they dont like is because they chased the fun, trust me if you have fun all day everyday eventually it wont be fun anymore and you wont have any ability to change it and everything you need to do is gonna be even harder then it would've been finding happiness in the work is the only way you'll find peace and happiness in life, this is the exact reason millionaires become depressed, because they get the money then quit working hard and chase the comfort then ignore what needs to be done , this is why people say money doesnt buy happiness , most people have it backwards once you start buying happiness, happiness becomes cheap , you have to earn it @@r4nowo
Dude , jocko saying “I agree” after the story about Zeno being very succinct in his daily speech made me laugh my ass off
And then he does it again!
its so funny when he asks these long thought out questions and jock is just like yeah tru lol
Priceless. I agree.
I laughed so hard at that whilst listening in the car! And when Chris segued in his experience with 'Love Island' after Jocko described the difficulty of BUD/S was GOLDEN! 😅😅
It’s a bit lame that he felt the need to explain it though.
Jocko, by his own admission, is not always easy to interview. This was fantastic. Great work Chris, well done
I think that’s the issue with most of these self help podcast like Tim Ferris or Tom Bilyeu is that they turn it into like a 2hr interview asking similar questions of what are the keys to success, books that change your life, morning routine, etc , to which someone like Jocko answered countless times. Still enjoyable but kinda repetitive
@@thunderdrake13 Yeah he seems like he's sick of answering the same questions. Felt that strongly on Lex Fridman's podcast when he was asking him what it's like to kill someone. Jocko was noticeably sick of it in my opinion.
The one with lex was a good example of that lol
Great interview, but was thinking the same thing. Chris rolls with it which is awesome
@@ed7590 Sam Harris, Eric Weinstein, Lex Fridman. Jocko doesn't seem to get along with these academic types all too well; there's this lingering tension in the air you can feel on each of their podcasts when Jocko's been on (Sam's episode was deleted, he's deleted a bunch of older podcast episodes), which occasionally becomes explicit and noticeable. Might be how they talk, might be their demeanour, but whatever it is, something about them just rubs him the wrong way.
Jocko's take on bullying reminds me of my granddad, back when I was bullied by kids 6 years older than I, in neighbourhood, he trained me and even after that I was a scrawny 9 year old and wasnt up for it, then he told me that its not just about winning or loosing the fight, but make it expensive for the opponent to ever come at you, instil fear they will not dare to come at you ever again like they used to, and well I was beaten to crap there were 2 of them, but they received so much damage, they and the entire neighbourhood respected me.
Cool story. City or rural living?
I highly recommend his warrior kid books. Reading it our 8 year old now.
Wait, so you're saying that you as a 9 year old made it more trouble than it was worth to 15 year old bullies? Holy shit, that's actually astounding. Much love and respect. Gigachad.
There was an a-hole in my
school who was somewhat of a bully, but more than that he just was a rebel. One thing I remember him for is him telling us- when someone wants to fight you, never be scared. Show them backside and get whooped if necessary, but show them you’re not afraid of taking a beating.
Though I favour de-escalation in front of confrontation unless absolutely necessary.
I made it to 30 without ever getting into a fight. I started out life bullied by an older sister. I was bullied, and I became a bully. I was fortunate though. I realized it, so I stopped that cycle, at least with me. Anyway, I went from bullied, to bully, to bullied, to unbulliable. By 8-9th grade, I was shutting down older and bigger kids trying to bully innocents. Never had to fight tho. I dunno. I reckon maybe I was a coward up until I realized that I was. Since that epiphany, I've been the scary one. But hopefully only to the one's who've earned it.
The guest having such nice sound quality in the in person interviews compared to the online interviews makes it so much nicer and more relaxing to listen to
I agree
@@scottsmith2724
Yes.
@@STUCASHX Good.
Yes
This conversation has zero fat on it. No words spoken that weren't purposeful. Love it.
Jocko willink is a very valuable man. We need men like him in more positions of power. Politics especially. Men that represents true discipline and have real experience in war and violence. The perfect man to lead negotiations with other countries.
Agreed
I hope people don't overlook what Jocko said at 17:30 ..what a legend. When most people run away, dudes like Jocko run towards. Taking notes
I don't fucking care Eddie Munson should have lived! 😢
Just seemed like he was playing up to his persona to be honest. Least impressive thing about the interview IMO.
@@slowfudgeballs9517 Who’s that?
@@Droolbaby who are you lmfao
@@Droolbaby Yeah, but, like, who be ye?
Chris man. Excellent podcast. A high bar to clear for a man with a very high bar to start with. I relate to you more with each podcast. Quick story: I grew up in a bad situation and was poorly socialized and maybe a little autistic. I got bullied more than anyone should, but my dad put me in a taekwondo class. Kinda useless, but got me interested. Because now, I could defend myself from grade school bullies, kinda. Fast forward to high school. I had decided to study kickboxing and judo. Seemed like a good overall combination. Turns out it is. I went to high school in the 90's and I was the only person with a laptop. You see, I was a computer nerd publicly when that was not cool. Got me rigorously bullied. But by high school, I had a reputation. I wasn't very big (5'10'' 185lbs), but I know how to win a fight. Bullies still had the gall to fight me, but they had to work together to stand a chance. Still, I had been lifting progressively heavier weights since I was small (5 years old, started with 5 pounds) so I was immensely strong. That carries over into my young adulthood. Because I am strong, I typically worked in construction (framing, flooring) and also as a mechanic. Now 40, I am struggling to deal with the myriad injuries I've collected over my career. Yet, I have made it here so I will make it further. My biggest troubles are existential (obviously), and managing my pain and energy levels. Heh, that got long quick. I said all that in order to say this: You have reignited a fire within me. Reminded me that who I used to be is still who I essentially am. Older and more tired for sure, but I am still the only hero in my story. A rugged fighter who will push with all my strength until there is no more. Even though I know that day will come, it is not today. Know that you are a profound inspiration to me and that I really appreciate what you do. Thanks for reading. -Alex
I really appreciate you sharing this brother. Game recognises game.
In a short bit of understanding on my part- you keep going ,and then you keep going,finding a way,either through obstacles,over,under,around them till we literally can't because we give up the Spirit,or rather,God/ Jesus says it's time to go!!👍💯❤️🕊️
No matter how you feel, Just get up and do what your supposed to do! Thats it.
listening to jocko interpret love island as a tactical operation is the most jocko thing ive ever heard
This is a high quality podcast. Lighting, sound quality and the camera changing is just the best that I’ve seen on RUclips. You were very well prepared to talk to Jocko. Thanks man, I appreciate the work that you’ve done! 👊🏽
I can feel jockos voice through my cars subwoofer
1:00-1:08 was beyond needed. Jocko never fails to give you the shit you need to hear when you need to hear it. “Walk away don’t look back” “remember but don’t dwell” thank you
Loved when Jocko asked Chris how long he was in the field when talking about love island 😅
Chris should not have mentioned about love island, especially to jocko lol . His face was like ? Dating like men and women ?? 😅
“Wage war on your weakness” sounds like the line right before a breakdown in a metal song.
A doubly long podcast. Jocko as the guest. It's gonna be a great day.
JOCKO is the ultimate leader
I can agree with the point that motivation is not what’s necessary to do things. I am constantly battling thoughts of negativity. For years, I struggled with obsessive compulsive disorder where I was getting really disturbing intrusive thoughts. I finally accepted that those thoughts were pretty much always going to be there, and I was going to actively choose to make the best decisions for my future, despite those thoughts being in the background. I also realize that this is actually a normal part of the human experience, there isn’t a human walking around that isn’t distracted by their thoughts. Once I realized this was just a normal part of being human, it gave me the power to live the life I want.

Just after 1 hour when you began talking about emotions when facing the loss of a loved one......hit home. My little brother was taken in a bike wreck. Been a decade & I still feel bouts of rage & sadness.
Sorry for your loss mate
Jocko has superb musical tast. It's such a breath of fresh air to see someone who knows good punk rock.
People get the word " motivation" mixed up with "inspiration". Motivation is what I feel when im on a roll. When my actions are leading to something❤ that momentum generates my motivation
It’s always astounding to see Jocko Willink in color. It’s as if he lives among us in todays time
Highly underrated comment! Subtle and clever
7:20 Jocko nails what Hackworth said about draftees. Lead into 7:40 and Jocko nailing how to win half the battle, knowing yourself (honestly and humbly), at least according to Sun Tzu.
I like the fact that your podcast is mainly based on how to execute and implement rather than just motivating and encouraging people to work hard.
Jocko’s reference to discovering the same things as Jordan Peterson points to a universal truth that’s out there.
I listen to Jocko whenever I need a kick in the ass, thanks for this episode Chris, it helped set my mind straight today 🙏💜 🤗
Know what you mean Emily. When I'm lazing about I sometimes imagine Jocko coming to my door threatening to kick my ass. It's a motivator to get moving!
Cheers.
4k AND in colour! You are spoiling us Mr Williamson…👍👌
4:10 creativity and discipline are a force to be reckoned with when they’re balanced
I always enjoy listening to Jocko and his son's convos!
These interviewer skills are way more advanced as anyone on classic television I’ve seen in the last 20 years. What a geat stuff here man!
Imagine you are stealing something and Jocko comes out the door…
👀
Funny thing is, he'd probably not do much.
He certainly can easily replace anything stolen, and as such he knows the risk/reward lays too heavily in the risk column for him.
I suspect he wouldn't react beyond securing his family.
🤷🏻♂️ Just my opinion thought
I realized y jocko is best with Jp , one dosent speak and other dosent let anyone
Meditation is the key that brought me back to the NOW and gave me a very deep meaning of myself and as well as a way to quietly work through unprocessed trama all the way back to childhood. The medicine I needed was within me from the beginning, but I didn't take it. NOW that I am taking it every morning I start my day with a peaceful resolve and gain an incredible insight into the art of processing and letting go of trama all to come back to a place of serenity, positivity and peace in the NOW..... ! It has taken six months to this threshold of a golden peace and light and I look forward to having only one mind. Too many minds got my butt in serious trouble. Beca complete Warrior and integrate meditation. It is better to be a Warrior in the garden than a Gardner in war. Thanks for posting. Resilience and peace to all! God bless America!
Jocko is my role model. An incredible human being.
Right there with you man.
My day just got 10x more productive
‘Good’ literally saved my life. Trying to resist what has already happened is a 1000% waste of time. And as Jung said “what you resist will persist” it’s true.
Jocko is a straight shooter and is to the point much respect
8 minutes in this is already phenomenal.
I love listening to Jocko and just found Chris. As a tee-totaller, due to meds interacting terribly with alcohol and my all or nothing 🙄history, I like seeing people who embody a wholistic approach to life.
Thank you 😊 I need to keep watching when I’m feeling low or overwhelmed.
W
The part that Jocko talked about motivation and the difference between discipline hits just right
1:40:41 “Definitely makes you appreciate the sunsets more”. I could be misinterpreting it, but I’ve never seen so much pain in Jocko’s face. His sincerity in that moment is heartbreakingly beautiful.
15:12 I think a good distinction would be that taking responsibility is about solving the problem and taking ownership is about taking blame. As far as the argument is concerned, you can never take enough responsibility because you have far more agency and power than you realize. But you can definitely take too much ownership because not everything is your fault.
Super excited to hear this! Got to wait till I hit the gym this afternoon but thank you thank you already!
1. There are things we can control in life and things we can’t.
2. Bad things happen to good people.
3. Despite all our good planning, bad things can hit us like a meteor out of the sky.
4. Then we have to choose our attitude & response.
5. Proactive & Reactive.
6. Is the concept of “Trade-offs” synonymous with “Choice”?
7. Where do foundational core beliefs fit in?
When Jocko said "If someone IS out there stealing things, will you let me know"
That was savage. I love Jocko!!!!
Fantastic interview Chris! One of your best yet. Have watched Jocko for years and the thought and research you undoubtedly did with your question formulation was second to none. Hope you guys meet again!
There's like a "hottest guy in the room" vs "toughest guy in the room" at a bar tension going on here ahaha
Except tough is hot, so I think we've got a clear winner.
What a wonderful surprise, thank you Chris.
Fair Play Chris, you've come a long way, all on your own merit too, keep smashing it mate. Great interview.
Brilliant, Brilliant podcast. Jocko delivers honest and real information. Its applicable to all ages, all situations we might encounter. His take on grief and death is simply spot on
I’m a massive Jocko fan. And I’ve been enjoying much of your content. This video was the tipping point. I subscribed. Thank you for having him on and for asking great questions!
Definitely taking notes on this. Awesome!
Self discipline but without motivation leads to burn-out. Both are important. I've found I need to actively cultivate that "motivated/ hungry/ flow-state" otherwise just forcing myself to do things eventually leads to burn-out. I can push through in the short term on days I'm not feeling motivated, but long-term motivation is essential.
Incredible dichotomy here. A very similar thing can happen when you're chocked full of motivation but lack self discipline. You can only go so far on just motivation without burning out as well. Without discipline, those days where you don't have as much motivation are gonna be extra hard.
Absolutely fantastic discussion. Covered so many diverse topics and did so exceptionally well.
Thank you Chris!! Late to hear you two,but incredibly happy i did!!! Great discussion,and had a awesome morning listening while working.👍💯🌌
The atmosphere you’ve created with set & lighting is the best I’ve ever seen.
It is truly the best looking podcast of them all. 100%
Hell yeah! JOCKO! Been picking up on your excitement about this one, Chris. This is gonna be rad!
Great conversation!
We have all to take more responsibility for our lifes 😌🙌🏾🙌🏿🙌🏼🙌🏽
Awesome video!! Thank you so much! This is what I needed so badly!
Thanks Chris, great interview, exactly what I was expecting based on the video title and a strong person like Jocko. Thanks for spreading the message of mental toughness through this. Keep up the great work!!
In the sea of endless podcasts these days, its refreshing to listen to you talk to great guests, and ask interesting and engaging questions.
Great stuff.
02:18:30 once you figure out how to never do something you don't wanna do, you realize you are respecting yourself more and are seeing more of your value. Especially and I'd say mostly if you're using your time wisely or doing something that serves your life.
Great podcast, great subjects, great men. Thank you for offering us this opportunity to learn.
Very good point about not waiting for motivation. Also good point about anxiety cost. GUILTY.
I like how you always do a good amount of background research before the interview, it shows how dedicated you are to learning about others, in tandem with arming yourself with new knowledge--which is clearly reflected in your enhanced interviewing skills over the months. Nicely done and thank you Chris! This conversation made my work day fly by really fast.
Been hanging for this to come out and it did not disappoint. If anything it's better than expected. Chris is getting better and better at interviewing every episode it seems.
Appreciation for this great episode. Work out to remember the important stuff.
I really like how this guy does interviews. He just seeks understanding and doesn't try to incorporate any political bullshit which creates division between people.
Your way of doing podcasts somehow intrige me more then others, I can't put my finger on it but you've got something good going!
What a fantastic podcast, very slick in production, and Jocko is great. Nice work Chris, thank you 👍
Hello , Glad to hear Jocko admitting this .
It’s good hearing him again.
Chris you are absolutely smashing it at the moment. Keep it up!
Jocko is the only person who should be on Cameo, I’d pay whatever he asked to send a Jiu-Jitsu pep talk to my son before a tournament 👊🏻 🥋
$500 for him to just say “get after it” lol
I think the has been the best interview of Jocko I have seen.
great episode, I always like it when you ask about family stuff,chris!
Jocko , what a balanced man he is . He is patient and respectful to others ... That will inspire many folks ...
Something that immediately popped to mind on the conversation of structure vs. creativity is great Chess players. If you look at Magnus Carlsen or Hikaru, they know lines, they know strategy and what to do in different situations but they're also able to think outside the box. Once you get to a certain level, everyone knows the same strategy, the same answers, so what separates the truly great ones from people that are just very good is that added ability. In saying that, the structure is still necessary because without that knowledge and those fundamentals you wouldn't get to the level where that becomes a part of the conversation.
Most of this I’ve heard before, but valuable lessons, and helpful to be reinforced. Particularly about the grief-time, space, etc.
Great podcast.
Brilliant Podcast! Thank you for creating this content and being such a good interviewer.
A gem of a conversation - the main feedback I would have is it felt a tad too much like an interrogation rather than a free-flowing conversation
Very informative podcast session 👏
Some great words from Jocko giving the kid some guidance. He's a patient and generous man. And some beautiful, delicate hand sways from Chris. It's quite disarming how he'd fire off a question with his hand scrunched into his cheek lol. ty 4 interview.
This is maybe, the most interesting podcast I've listened to. Thank you.
Chris’ example at 12:20 shows a lack of ownership when it comes to expectations. He expects a great result from something he can’t control, instead of asking the best question possible and letting the chips fall where they may.
Thank you. This was bugging me too but wasn't sure how to solve his problem.
Chris, I've been listening to you since Jordan Peterson. You ask great questions, carry yourself well. I thought this was good but you seem to be telling more of your stories and your understanding instead of asking questions of the other person being the focus. (I'm personally not great at this, myself).
As you continue to grow in this, please keep it others aimed.
Thanks again for what you do. I really enjoy your interviews & helpful insight!
Chris, was listening to another interview and learned that Jocko was kind of a unicorn interview... In fairness, I would have been more chatty also.
Some of the questions you asked, I would like to ask Jocko if I would ever meet him. A pretty amazing interview. Outstanding!
I really like the questions you ask Mr Williamson.
Just long enough for me to clean the fridge, range, counters, bathroom, bedroom, and floors
This interview is beautiful. Jocko has loss of friends in those wrinkles around his eyes.
He is not into drinking. Also revealing in his maturity & gained wisdom.
A Dunkin /TimHortons toast to these gentlemen.
What he said about bullying is spot on.
I LOVE THIS SIR!! GREAT WORK TO YOU GUYS! HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS!! 💪 💯 🔥 ❤️
I'm new here. Keep up the good work, Chris. I like your style!
Chris’ thoughts on your darker self being the flip side of your best self was so interesting to me. It makes me wonder about looking at your past self with shame versus being grateful for the past lives you’ve lived. It can be very difficult to let go of the disappointment of what you used to think/do. I think if you feel ashamed of something it’s an indication of you knowing better, knowing what is good. 💭💭💭
I absolutely, 100 percent agree with writing about the things that we grieve over / about. I have been practicing this since high school and it has helped me but we all heal differently. #talksthatheal
This conversation is awkwardly entertaining, motivational and informational. Good stuff.
Chris, you have a way of taking your guests into territories of very deep conversation that not many other podcasters do. You get them to think very deeply about their answers, this often divulges a different side to their personality than that which is usually seen in the public domain. It's an admirable skill. I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel, keep up the great work!! 🚀💥
Ps: I'm a huge Jocko fan, great episode!! 🙏
