Although sometimes walking "the path" means walking alone. Really respect you guys. You do more than you know for the headspace of this truck driver when the days get long and I miss my son. Thanks I'm grateful to you.

"Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back." Heraclitus

Also, quote for the month: "There's a difference between how you feel and how you behave." - Echo

My basketball coach used to say it like this. Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up and knows it has to run faster than the fastest lion or else it will be eaten. And every morning in Africa a lion wakes up and knows it has to run faster than the slowest gazelle or else it will starve. Do you know what that means? I don't, but when you wake up, you better be running.

Jocko we need Tu Lam (from Rōnin Tactics) on this podcast

Jocko's ability to lay out The Path as defined by the culmination of our collective knowledge and our well understood failures at all levels(from individuals to the entirety of the species) will be the foundation in which we rebuild our Country. Not only will they be integral to our personal successes, but will elevate us to global leaders in not just military prowess and might, but in manufacturing innovation as well as education. It's time to transgress the physical and mental sacrifices that are so heavily relied on by our economic and theological adversaries, and use our commitment to self and each other to preserve and strengthen that which makes our Country so great.

"He blew his brains out with a shotgun so let's lay off the whiskey" Jocko shutting down that argument real quick 🤣

There’s so much motivation in every podcast it’s unreal! Just started watching a week ago and can’t get enough. Starting to change my life 1 step at a time.

“He blew out his brains with a shotgun.” Damn, I did not mean to laugh at that, Jocko.

Thank you Jocko, Dave, and Echo. The first few minutes hit me like a ton of bricks. I will not let my idea die.

So grateful you did this follow up to the 174 podcast. It really hit home for me when I watched 174 how many areas I need to continually work at. Thank you all for putting out another impactful podcast.

*woah, Echo*. The concept that you are comfortable with who, and what, someone actually is, and when that reality changes, rather than accept it, you resist it in order to keep them in that 'box' you have stuffed them in. That comfort zone has some pull. Then again, so does a rip tide. Fuckin' deep, buddy. I like it, and I underestimated you.

"Sometimes you got to squeeze your brain". Thanks for helping me stop making excuse and become better.

All the people you mentioned at the end definately deserve a big THANKS! Don't forget those folks clocking in at the grocery store keeping the shelves stocked and checking us out also.

I don't understand how anyone could dislike an intellectually spectacular conversation among some of the greatest men in the world.

with echo saying "don't look tired even if you feel tired" gave legitimacy to what i've thought during football conditioning now that i'm one of the older guys on the team that if i look tired or weak the younger guys watching me go will start to follow suit.

Needed this right now. Thank you!

Jocko is the dad I wish I had

This is what I needed at the exact moment I need it most. Thank you

I loved this podcast and I read the book. I made a self evaluation spreadsheet on excel that I am rating my diet in exercise. I have it on my phone so I rate 1-5 on exercise 1-5 on diet and supplements that totals every week. I wish I could put a screenshot up.

Jocko and Dave book collab? Take my money, straight up.

Just got done with 4 years in D1 college baseball. So much testosterone in the locker room. 25-30 guys. Many Type A individuals. You can feel the tension when someone tries to step up and lead. It's an awkward power struggle of ex-high school alphas. We settled on a type of collaborative leadership where no one guy was explicitly "The Leader". We did implement direction, initiatives, and goals. We came up short of a big goal of ours to win our conference tournament by one game. It was the furthest our college had ever got. But we were the first loser. Could officially electing a single "Team Captain" have contributed to a better result?

Jocko, always a great podcast! Thank you sir!

My grandpa always told me when I went to work at a young age was “just make ‘em a good hand.” Or “just be a good hand” and it’s crazy how that base line, or ‘commander’s intent’ helped my success. Crazy to think about.

I needed to hear this today. Thanks Jocko.

Honor myself and others. Respect for life. Truth before face. Love and peace are the biproduct, not the virtues themselves. It's served me well so far even though Im pretty dense. I guess I was more squared away than I though. This episode was great, thank you.

Brilliant podcast! Better than music on background. Jocko really makes you to do stuff.

16:33 Preach Jocko, preach! I'd go to this church for sure

Service can be a large part of being on the path. Getting promoted to civilian can leave a person feeling like something is missing, even when work, school, relationships and health are progressing well. There are so many agencies and organizations that need help right now: from homeless shelters to hospitals, that it's easy to find something that gels well with interests and personality.

I've been working on a personal document like this myself for years, mostly based on the ideal of the Sage of the Stoics. Still in the process of tweaking and structuring this personal Path, and I look forward to adopting The Code within it. Thanks and keep up the good work.

on a 2 mile walk to a park with exercise equipment to get after it Ninja style cause its night time lol listening to jocko podcast. gonna get some on a pull up bar 😜😁

31:00 I agree with echos sentiment here. I think that mind-altering experiences are essential for creating good writing and artwork. Alcohol, however, is probably the worst choice possible for a mind altering experience. Things like meditation, spirituality, near-death experiences, learning an instrument or something challenging, and consuming other artwork will work thousands of times better. I think that this is the sentiment that echo was ultimately trying to make

I don't know what Echo is taking, but I want some.

Great job guys! I just hope that this discipline and path “religion” will conquer the world.

The section on Financial Management is worth the listen alone. Managing your finances as both incoming and outgoing (vs. just focusing on income) is the key to success. I generally try to want less vs. thinking I need to earn more. Not discounting income, just pointing out there are two sides to the equation.

Great Podcast! I'm still listening but my comment is that I think maybe that semi-argument you guys got into can be very easily resolved. I'm talking about that first bit about one's thoughts, dreams, and IDEAS and where you discussed pro's and cons of doing it and getting it out there vs. some internal process of vetting and evaluation. Maybe a good "rule" at least for some of us is to always do at least do SOME follow up, somehow in some way, on each idea. Maybe once you begin to follow up and start to do SOMETHING then the new idea will take off and develop a life and momentum of it's own within your life and work, or maybe once you stop just thinking about it and start to actually DO it you will immediately see that it was not a good idea at all. This works for me because for every truly good idea I pursue to the end I also have about a hundred bad or mediocre ideas. And then sometimes I get off to a bad start and am tempted to give up but most of the time if it's REALLY a good idea some voice deep down keeps telling me to keep on trying. I'm not sure but I think this approach fits within Jocko's generally awesome philosophy and I will not be at all surprised if he has mentioned something like this in other podcasts. Thanks for all your great work! Regarding money I totally agree with everything you said and I would add that we each have a MORAL obligation to care about money. Unless you are totally isolated with no friends and no family or anybody that cares about you then you owe it to your friends and family and everyone who cares about you to take care of yourself fiscally so that they don't need to bail you out or worse yet stress and worry because they can't bail you out. Even if you ask them not to help you are still going to cause them a great deal of unhappiness if they have to watch you unravel to where you cannot take care of yourself. Even if you succeed in keeping them from helping they will still feel stress and guilt.

New book? Good. Purchased.

The importance of being on time, which another podcast I glazed by from this channel. I lost a couple jobs I really liked for being late. Since then I challenge myself to be on time everyday. I hate to be late now.

"good looking guy at the end of the day for sure" - EC 😅😂🤣🤣

Somebody somewhere once said, Life is what passes you by while you are busy making plans.

Finally!!

Fantastic video

Ordered my copy may 3rd, still not here, Covid threw a wrench in the postal system.Good, I can read FM-02 again.

Jazz....I talk to other veteran teachers about this when we talk about how to talk to newer teacher. The longer you teacher, the more able you are to "play jazz" in class and riff when the situation calls for it. New teachers are locked to the sheet music and the only way to get to Jazz is to practice.

16:26 I love the crossover between Jocko and artist zen once in a while

Jocko, do you feel like you're embracing a leadership role with your podcast? General podcast feedback: Appreciated the dynamic back and forth between you and Echo, presenting a united front in discussing the issue and delivering a cohesive message about the topic.

around 3:40 leadership statement he perfectly sums up John Stryker Meyer.

I might buy it just for the First Edish

You should get Delta Operator Mike Glover on.

Jocko: He blew is brains out with a shotgun Echo: Everyones code is different. 😂

Good Deal Dave

Good number.

i think tha any idea or concept, with enough polishing and time to work it, it can become a great idea. Also, Ifs sounds perfect and really good and exiting to you, I guarantee there are at least 1 percent of the world population will feel the same way, its about keep growing and pushing to find that 1 percent that will dig your idea.

25:10 THE CODE.

Your job is all about perspective! I dont see myself as a trash man...i see myself as a, refuse removal specialist! Great podcast!

Be disciplined with money....critical. We have trouble with finances because people have been taught that having money in fairly large amounts is evil. This makes people neurotic af....

Those numbers tell all

I hope that Jocko can interview Dan Schilling, who wrote the book Alone at Dawn about John Chapman’s last stand.

I love how Jocko read half the book but I still bought it 👊👊

The intro topic sounds like the AF EPR system . The issue of supervisor discretion when doing these evaluations is the system itself can be inflated (firewall 5s for many) so while you might consider yourself being fair giving a 3-4 for a “good” worker , they look weak compared to others who had supervisors that gave 5s for “good” work . And promotions are impacted, people get frustrated, finances become a thing, etc . I personally am not a fan of this system . One good thing of civilian corporations is there is an actual bottom line (how much $ did you make us) and a bit more honest in reviewing performance. But working for anyone or any business, you ultimately are at the mercy of who’s above you .

Wow wow, @Jocko Podcast do you think there is a chance I can get those descriptions? you know for my IT needs. The more I am listening to you, the more I think that my IT job is not much different from you know, the stuff you have been doing for living.

Thank you for this code and podcast! Love the book and am using it to work towards improving myself. I am wondering how I might incorporate this or something like the Warrior Kid code to give some clear guidelines for my students to become better students and humans (I teach middle school science)? Thoughts on a specific code for the "eminently qualified student"? I'd like to give students a clear guide to help them set goals beyond "study harder" etc. But then again maybe it would be better to point them to the warrior kid code or eminently qualified human code rather than focusing just on the student part.

Discipline comes from the code.

Going back to watch 174 right now

Any other places I can buy the audio version of this book without going through audible?

Jocko Motivation Channel killed me.

Forgive me Jocko for I have sinned.

Good

THE CODE

BTF every day all day got it

Once someone's a black belt LIKE ECHO👀

Will Jocko’s new book be available on Audible?

We need Travis Haley on

Notes for myself 38:49 39:11

Is the quote 2.2 Time Management 1:01:43 from the book " The Code. The Evaluation. The Protocols"?

Damn Echo those arms tho

subtitles option please

The book is published by Jocko publishing company? Good.

Will this be on Apple Books?

I like using rubrics and grading yourself against yourself. There are almost 8 billion people on the planet and we are all aging every day. Someone somewhere is ahead of you in some way and someone somewhere is behind you in some way. Norm referencing has a place but very it is very limited. Criterion referencing is what matters.

You need to have BUZZ ALDRIN..........BUZZ ALDRIN..........BUZZ ALDRIN on your podcast

Is the book out yet? Edit: never mind I found it on Amazon and bought it

31:40 No, not true at all! *I mumble as i try to hide my whiskey from the screen so they won't see it*

The whiskey thing hurt. You could drink it as an exercise in mindfulness? Point 2 on the code? Maybe? Please 🙏

Please publish The Code, The Evaluation, The Protocols as a PDF. Microsoft has a paywall to use Excel.

jocko when are you going to do an Eddie Gallagher podcast?

Hey Jocko + Echo! Where can I buy that awesome leather kettlebell you guys mentioned in one of your videos? Is it called the Burden? Yeah, I need me one of those

Silly Jocko, there are no "good" politicians 🤣

How would you reach 5 on diet? I eat healthy and always avoid junk food, but that seems too easy to really be a 5.

33:45

Anyone know where I can buy the physical book from? It’s not in the notes

Zen warrior code: With a desire to save all beings, I shoot myself into hell like an arrow. Nobody talks about this....everyone wants to be in heaven, but nobody wants to lift any heavy ass weights. I would add the....prayer, meditation and spiritual and religious reading. Time for God and silence....
