As a single mother, I recommend you develop the skills of a spiritual leader and a financial leader also. I work mostly with women, and their husbands often phrase it this way "What's OUR plan honey?" And.... That's why I'm still single. Where is a man who can help answer the adult questions? I don't need to marry a grown man with access to my credit, retirement savings, and the ability to spend next months money before we make it, if he doesn't have financial self control and a basic understanding of investments. Also, I can't respect a man whose thoughts have never lifted above today's video game or 2020 politically correct view. I believe the term is NPC. Try reading the great minds of past centuries. It's not enough to help the kids with homework. The bigger question is, what school should they attend? What should they be learning? How can you be an example of a "man of character" if you have no foundation for your morals? How will you pass on your moral compass to your children, if you give them no reason to believe what you believe. Is it just tradition? Or preference? Can you give an explanation and a defence for what you believe? It takes a while to read a book on apologetics and digest it. As the leader in the home, you should be able to answer these questions when your children ask. And if you can't answer them, your wife may be excused for wondering if the"leader" in her home doesn't know why or where he is going.

Learning how to fight is a very important skill. It builds an insane amount of confidence. The better boxer and wrestler I became, the less I postured and quieter I became. Ironically, as I got more confident and quieter, the more intimidating I was to loud Alpha males in social settings. They were constantly looking to me for validation. “Right bro? Right bro?” When I spoke to my squad mates on serious matters, my words held more weight because I never wasted words on bullshit or bragging. They were like, “Hey Rod might have a point.” All this came from learning how to fight properly.

I relate to this so much. My father died when I was ten. My uncle tried to take me under his wing best he could but I was acting out all the time. He ended up getting murder shortly after I turned 18 and I wandered far from the reservation after that. Very far. I’ve always wanted a father or a positive male role model (mom never remarried or dated). I never had one until recently when I found people like Jocko, Jordan Peterson, even a certain comedian I really related to. I started taking their advice and I can happily say that I’m doing really good now and actually look forward to tomorrow. Hell im looking forward to the day I have a family now really and can be for my son what I never had. I used to want to die real talk. Thanks for all the content Jocko I listen to it on the daily and also, I wake up at 2:45 everyday for the gym before I go to work. Thank you!

When I suggest they fix it themselves they say they "arent like me, they don't know how to do that stuff..." neither did I, until I went to Google and searched "how to fix...." there's a reason they teach you how to read and follow directions in elementary school.

When you mentioned being embarrassed about not knowing how to do something. A great thing about developing a skill in any area is that as you grow in experience, you find that not knowing something is a big part of learning. Admitting that you don't know something actually becomes a comfortable part of the job. It feels good when I don't know how to do something because it gives me an opportunity to learn something about this area that I didn't before. And you know what? You only don't know something once. As soon as you solve that problem you will know how to solve it for the rest of your life and your toolbox has just become that much more kitted out. So at the end of the day, being ok with not knowing how to do something is a skill in itself.

Yea it’s easier to say then do but for me I was on the same situation years ago and I just got tired bro, I got tired of being tired of being tired. I was already in boxing it was my 3rd I was told to not fight outside the gym so I told the guy to come to the damn boxing gym !; true enough he showed up him and his boys and his friends and some from the school. I got hit a a lot but it’s a part of fighting plus he was 245 pounds I was 212lbs. I won but it wasn’t easy but it felt good getting hit back not gonna lie, but it felt even better landing a punch!!! Especially hooks and a few uppercuts. But back to you bro I don’t know you but I believe in you. I want you to try and fight, watch a boxing video . Search 1-5 punching combos it’ll show you each punch and how to throw em and then do push ups , hold canned goods and shadow box it’ll get your hand speed up and when you feel ready!!! Call up ole boy who was talking shit and tell him to meet you somewhere but bring some friends with you for back up just in case he brings back up. I guarantee you’ll feel better rather than sitting and letting that scum get the satisfaction of down talking you thinking he’s better. My name is Quay btw I hope this will help you.

There's two big advantages to learning them, regardless of what your time is worth. 1. You can accomplish the tasks when there isn't another choice... 2. You can inspect the job after a contractor is "finished" to see if it was done both correctly and well. As far as the whole time/money issue... It's a balance. You have to make the judgment call. Hire out when it's worth it, but be responsible when it should only cost about 20 bucks and an hour to do it on your own... versus 50 bucks and sitting around for three hours at some busy shop... waiting. ;o)

This is a very real conversation for me. Boxing liberated me in a lot of ways. It teached me so much and gave me new perspectives in a lot of things in life. Combat sports are a great learning tool for "intellectual types", as jocko put it, to get out and live the world. It can actually be the most enlightening experience someone can get, especially if they read philosophy. So many concepts of stoicism, cynicism, taoism, pre-socratic thought get real while training. Doing combat sports is like getting all these teachings in philosophy and squeeze them in a single moment. It will complete an "intellectual type" that lacks purpose.

I just want to say that this video really hit home for me, I did not grow up with any positive role models. My father was in the picture but was more interested in random snatch than he was raising his son. It took me well into my twenties to realize how poorly prepared for the world I was and until I was almost 30 to stop making excuses and pull my head out of my ass. Now I have grown into a well-rounded man, learning new skills all the time with the example put forth by people like yourselves.

Damn. I’m in my mid 40s and more and more, I’m grateful that I grew up with the father I have. The man doesn’t have a college degree. He grew up very poor an was one of 6 kids (the 2nd youngest, he was born in ‘42). He doesn’t have a college education. HOWEVER...he was a heavy equipment diesel mechanic for 33 years, a welder (US Navy Certified) at a local shipyard, and can build, fix and troubleshoot just about anything that’s ever been made. And odds are, it’ll be done right and better. As one of 5 kids I grew up doing yard work, and dad would “farm us out” to the neighbors to do their yard work. I helped him fix things since I was 7-fetching wrenches, hammers and “here, Hold this.” Fishing. Hunting. How to tow a trailer. It didn’t make sense at the time, but now? I’ve got skills. I can fix and maintain my home. I can repair my car. I know how to move stuff in and out of houses. Windows, doors, siding, drywall, painting, etc. I know how to build, fix and maintain things. The money I’ve saved and the confidence it builds is immeasurable. Also-my dad was a fighter. Even if he knew he’d lose, he’d make you work for it. Stand your ground, don’t back down. Choose your battles wisely and die on that hill if needed. Let people know when they’ve crossed that line-consequences are a real thing. “ “Be a man;” treat women with respect, be firm but caring with your kids, be kind to the cats and dogs. Respect your elders. Do what needs to be done, and help your neighbors. Stand up for yourself and for those who can’t-and when you see/hear bullshit, you call it out. You don’t gain the skills overnight and odds are, your first attempt is going to take forever and look awful. But, YOU did it and you’ll do it again and you’ll get better and more efficient at it. Much like a muscle, these skills need exercise to get strong. All of this is considered “toxic” by most today and it saddens me.

The important thing to remember with training in self-defence like Jiu Jitsu is that it not only gives you confidence to stand up for yourself but others will talk of you and your training telling people not to mess with that guy "cause he does Jiu Jitsu." Bullies go after the weaker ones because they know they are somewhat tougher than them, they will never test their strength against those who know how to defend themselves. But through your confidence in self-defence, it becomes more so your obligation to help those who are preyed on by others; stand up not just for yourself in times of distress but for those who continue to face the bullies just as you did before your training. Jordan Peterson wrote it better saying "learn good by experiencing evil. A bullied boy can mimic his tormentors. But he can also learn from his own abuse that it is wrong to push people around and make their lives miserable." Be the better man. Always. Side Note: I found this wisdom through Michael P. Murphy, a former Navy SEAL, who was known as "The Protector" in his high school for standing up for his fellow classmates who were being bullied.

This is actually the mentality I had when first approaching game development. Worked at a software company and showed some colleagues my code on the project's I was working on. They ripped those things apart and i was constantly being shown SIGNIFICANTLY better ways of doing things. But the best part of it was it opened doors into other areas of development and also helped with networking as well. I quite frankly don't have the time to do game development at the moment, but I have been doing front end development (UI/UX, etc.) with a startup company and those fundamentals that were ingrained into me early on (from having looked at it objectively and not taking things personally) have been the saving grace. Moral of the story is 'never be afraid to try thing's before you're "ready to do them."' Because some lessons are best learned in the frying pan.

Jiu Jitsu helped me in adult life. I’ll explain… I learned how to relax under pressure, to escape holds calmly, to have strength, and endurance. I didn’t know it at the time, but all those battles with my buddies, prepared me to be a single dad of two daughters for 20 years. To be a Grandpa to 4 kids with my daughters having issues. Of course Christ was the center, but Jiu Jitsu was a gift I learned at a young age, that helped me in ways I never thought. Maybe through a higher power. But it had its purpose.

Luckily the internet has taught me a lot of what I need to know.

I totally agree with “doing things.” From growing up in a very spicy childhood hood-murdered mom, rape, dad in hooscal, etc etc. I have skill & proud of it! Actually skill! Albeit, oftentimes-most time, it’s slower. I kept at it, until I was proficient. I operate heavy equipment-quite good, as I asked the owner I’d work for free to get taught. I know how to cook, sew, decorate beautiful wedding cakes, properly weed eat, use chain saws, change toilet guts, whatever. KZfaq takes away all excuses. Figure it out. Keep at it. Remember-everyone has to learn, doesn’t come out the gate knowing & a black belt. I’m every bit a contender...and I’m a girl. (Older now...still proud!)

I guess where this part of the podcasts misses is that in being a man, there is some sort of pursuit of excellence or competence. In that pursuit I think is where the growth occurs. The forging of mind that commits to reading everyday, the discipline that compounds from getting up every morning and training whether you feel like it or not. These are things I’m still working on and pursing but I’m at a point know where I am watch something like this and it is not “the answer” for me. I have my own answers as a man but I can appreciate what they are taking about and take from it new ideas perhaps I hadn’t considered before. Great talk man!

It shouldn't be understated that almost every man most dude’s can name were the type of dudes who taught in some form or fashion. They knew shit and were self-reliant, yes, but they also taught the people around them. Even if they weren’t great, they still taught what they knew and encouraged others to keep learning. At least this was my personal experience. There’s the humility of learning, bit also the humility of teaching.

As abstract and or shallow as "work out" may sound, its actually a very encompassing skill. It does more than make someone more capable combatively. It makes building easier; easier to turn the wrench, grip the pliers, etc. It makes you less likely to get injured (same for stretching lol). Not only for the forms you learn, but it gives you more gross (big) motor control. It also gives you more go go juice (testosterone, endorphins, etc.) which also helps drive brain function.
