I read this book once in early high school of my own volition, And help me change my perspective a lot. Looking back on your reading this, it brings a sense of joy and meaning that Booker T. Washington helped me understand the world much better as a young man - now closer to his 30s. I will ensure my kids read this book along with other powerful/meaningful real-life stories. Thank you, Booker T. Washington and Jocko!
NO FREAKING WAY. I'VE BEEN READING BOOKER T. WASHINGTON LATELY AND THINKING ABOUT HOW HE'S SO IMPORTANT BUT SCHOOL HARDLY TEACHES US ABOUT HIM. NO FREAKING WAY JOCKO IS TALKING ABOUT HIM NOW.
Fuck are you talking about? Everyone knows about Booker T Washington whenever the history of slavery is talked about. God, is it really coming to this? This is what happens when radical leftism and wokeness overtakes the schools.
I've heard the name Booker T. Washington but never cared to read up on him. Can't believe I went so long without knowing anything about this bad ass dude.
Whenever anyone asks “what can we do to make the world better?” Jocko and his team deliver time after time. This is a GEM Podcast and should be implemented into every history class from JHS up!!
After watching the podcast, I am read books about Booker T. Washington. Thank you so much. I love that man I love him I’m still reading more thank you Booker T. Washington ism.
This is amazing and inspirational. I’m teaching some of this book to my 8th grade students. Love your take on it. Adds a lot to my instruction and conversation points with these young people soon entering high school!
Great book. Eye opening. I love that you’re presenting this book in your podcast and applying Booker T. Washington’s life experience and perspective to life today.. very cool 👍🏽👍🏽
A thought was sparked from over 30 years ago of a paper I wrote based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail." I specifically recall the articulation and civility of the letter's content when many of us would use an expletive every other word if we experienced similar treatment. Dr. King likely realized for his words and expression to have credibility, calm was necessary. Jocko reminds me of my high school wrestling coach who wore a Timex Ironman, intimidating just by breathing and retired as a Colonel in the Army. Rarely do I watch or listen to a video longer than 8 minutes but this podcast and evaluation of Mr. Washington's book really hit home. Thank you Mr. Willink and Mr. EchoCharles for instilling many life lessons..
This inspired me to study the life of Gen. Armstrong. His parents were missionaries to Hawaii. Gen. Armstrong was a true believer in Christ. Booker is quoted as saying Gen. Armstrong was the most Christ-like man he ever knew. The influences of others that God sovereignly puts in your life, have the potential to shape you to become someone great and a tremendous blessing to others. I also liked the references Booker made to the importance of reading Scripture daily.
Thanks so much for sharing this, brother. General Armstrong sounded like an amazing man, based on Booker's words, but your comment here has made me want to get a book about General Armstrong's life. Thank you, and God give you grace and peace
I've read two of Booker t Washington's works, and I'm thoroughly impressed. He is a better man, and a better writer then I will ever be. I would challenge anyone harboring racist or separatist views to read "Up From Slavery"
Terrific episode, Jocko & Echo. Learned far more about Mr. Washington than I ever did in school(big surprise). Thank you, and thanks for all that you guys do!
@@herbwhite7384 maybe my memory isn’t the best but I thought it took him awhile to get anyone interested in the school. I thought I remembered something about him giving lectures to empty halls but I could be embellishing. It’s been more than 25 years since I read it
@@elmoretile I think that you are right. It took a while but Tuskegee became a great school. On a side note, it pains me whenever he or his importance is either ridiculed or dismissed. Thanks for the reply.
I'm almost half in and I noticed one thing you talked all around but never directly to. When noting that several teachers invested in Mr Washington, you didn't point out that he showed his willingness to put in the work FIRST. That is such an important distinction in a time when so many people, especially younger ones who think they 'deserve' something. Mr Washington put in the work first and did his best EVERY time. That earned him the respect of those teachers who in turn invested into him things he wanted. I've seen so many people in the work place say things like "they need to pay me more, then I'll work harder or do extra ". That is not how it works and shouldn't be. Work hard first and prove you deserve that raise. This is such a great story and a shame it is not taught more broadly.
Awesome podcast, when I saw the what he was going to be talking about, I was nervous, but listen, what an amazing interpretation of the book and the life of Booker T. Washington, Jocko's terminology and the way he tied in all the stuff he preaches was kool as hell....
Time stamp 20:53 In the words of Dan Carlin, "It's the transition from wooden shoes to velvet slippers." AKA: Hard times make hard people, who make easy times which produces weak people.
Jocko, could you please have Chris Cathers, retired Green Beret, Contractor, etc. He is dealing with Bone Cancer and has a foundation called Brother's Keeper Veterans Foundation. He has stories that need to be told and not necessarily a long time to tell them. Thanks for looking into this.
It's the same with guitar players, guitars get expensive, especially vintage guitars which have the best sound in my opinion, it's a flex no doubt just like watches, I have a $150 guitar and I just get high end strings for it and play it with passion 👊
Medical maggots are still used today...the well known hospital system I worked fir for used them...they were a wonderful way to help heal serious wounds
I reached out to Echelon Front, sent my docs I saw the indirect background inquiries All I Can Say Is Read Between The Lines all is not as it seems ... Standing By
You have just read and illustrated why Booker T. Washington's, Up From Slavery, has fallen into disrepute in academia today. He was his own master and no one's victim, and he taught these skills along with education, livelihoods, morals, and common sense to others who had the same thirst for a better life as he had experienced. It is also why these same academics lift up W.E.B. Du Bois while denigrating Booker T. Washington. The same dichotomy was evident with Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. P.H.D. and Malcolm X in and after the Civil Right's Movement. One was for independent integration, while the other was for complete separation wanting nothing of the white man's world. Malcolm X was lifted up by the same people who ran down MLK Jr. until Malcolm started to see the error of his ways and began talking to MLK Jr. and was assassinated by the Muslim Brotherhhood. We get to choose regardless of our race or ethnicity; life or death, building a meaningful and useful life, and building in entrepreneurial style your own family, neighborhood, and town.
Great audio read and narration you guys It's much more than a key a color or a spoke in the Wheel Seems to me Conscious Spirit is at the forefront of his way To keep himself from getting tangled up in a tangled World Driven by his psyche
Hey look listen $9700 on an opscore low-cut helmet, 2 thermal units, 1 PVS 14 unfilmed white phosphor, and a universal nvg mount is worth going bankrupt over.
42:55 Bookers writing about having one name, other kids having two names, and some having three names and being REAL fancy. Lol it would be interesting to see him learn of Hispanic culture and that it's common to have 4 names. 😂😂
Cool podcast and solid lessons but I do feel like Jocko and Echo are missing the mark a little bit when talking about how the slaves had "integrity" or "principle" for not crossing their masters even after the emancipation. They did that because of the level of indoctrination they'd been subjected to. They weren't even 10% aware of the reality of the situation and the dynamic that had been created between them and whites. They didn't even realize that whatever sympathy they had towards their captors was due to centuries of physical psychological and emotional beatdown, as opposed to genuine empathy (which is undeserved). Let's be real, if anyone today had to endure a tenth of that we'd deal with our oppressor in a very different way (and rightfully so).
@@j.baptistecl.5758 They had no prison-industrial complex and no conscription during the Civil War, so there was no reason to be vengeful. Maybe the slaves had better life than you.
You have to feel bad for the slave owner. They were not breaking the law they were good citizens according to the law and 90% of their wealth was just taken from them by gunpoint.
There is still a level of division in dialogue between states today. Not just north and south as then. Today's divisions are not as simple as a binary conflict, but not as deep as those of the past. Today's divisions are a 3d chess match of multiple ideologies imo. Great cast.👍
I have a pray request and it ain’t to god it’s to holy divers a devil hounds raiders nightstalkers My faith would be so increased if you could show there men how to picknuo moral and norms be Not us Russia is not our enemy
Love you Jocko, I’ve changed my entire life because of you. I’m much more disciplined then ever.
The world needs you
World travel also provides perspective
Good for you, ya still gonna die in the end like everyrone else tho :) so just try and be happy while youre alive
That’s awesome. Welcome to the club, brother. Keep getting after it

Can anyone guess what all slave owners had in common?
You have to feel bad for the slave owner. They were not breaking the law they were good citizens according to the law and 90% of their wealth was just taken from them by gunpoint.
I’m catching up, taken at gunpoint by whom.
Yes. How devastating it must be for the slave owner. No more free stuff
