Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret.

Month 5 of getting up at 4am. 60 lbs lighter. Plenty of time. I still get 7hours of sleep per night.

@brototype It's a great interview. I watched this as part of my curriculum. Thank you brototype for recommending this amazing concept. 1)Get up early 2)Manage your time 3)Balance your day and there by your life. Finally Discipline = Freedom

He provided the secret to success at the 18 min time frame. Get up early and have a plan and disciple yourself to take small steps each day because they add up to BIG RESULTS! Focus 1-2 hours each day and do this over and over again and one day "It must be nice" will happen in your life. This applies to anything important to you. Family, Faith, Fitness, Fortune, and Friends. You and I mean you, can do these things and others will see you at the TOP. Get to work!

2:04 jocko is aware of body language

"It's ok, you will be punished later" lmao!

2:05 jocko sees hes sitting the same way as him then instantly changes his leg position lol

Man, he's a good speaker. I cannot imagine being so eloquent and at the same timd also look at the interviewer and look at the audience, it's pretty amazing what kind of stage presence he has

The main reason I love listening to Jocko isn't because he is a bad ass, or because he is a NAVY SEAL. But because his way of living is of the utmost importance any human being should strive for. God bless you and thank you sir.

Jocko looks like he was made by the SEALs. Like, in a lab.

Love the Jocko quote that to wake up early, you start by waking up early not going to sleep early. New way of looking at the problem...

I also prefer to go biking early in the morning before any excuses roll in. I also like the calm and peace of being out in a forest when it's empty. I like the sound of the leaves and the wind and a few squirrels playing in the trees.

Jocko made them come in at 4am for this conference and then pt’d them all before the start time.

To all of those that complained about the interviewer, you missed the point. Jocko did not let it affect the interview. Next time focus on what's important. Great information!

I bought the book a couple years ago and it began my journey of discipline. I love this guy.

I think 2020 and 2021 disproved Jocko's belief that "everyone wants more freedom." There are a lot of people who want government control, want a dictatorship, want the nanny state. There are a lot of people fear freedom become it requires personal responsibility.

It's cool that the interviewer had good questions and did ask the questions he had! Well done interview and Jocko's honest, humble, respectful responses to questions he was asked was cool!

1. Discipline = freedom 2. Complex problem, simplify them and solutions 3. Humility is a vital trade of a leader 4. To become discipline get up early in the morning 5. Don't schedule every minute of your day schedule your working hours and important parts 6. Start your cycle by walking up earlt not going to bed early 7. Balance is very important

his saying is on the back on my phone along with my mom and day with me, "Discipline equals freedom" alot of the time I need reminded.

The whole time I'm watching this, I can't stop thinking about how scared I would be if this guy was ever mad at me.

when Jocko gets up , his hair salutes him

love this guy, different background to most people cos we're not all navy seals, but he is right on about discipline . it can seem like your enemy but its actually your best friend

I lived watching this! I learned alit. My father is passed away. I feel like he is a good father-like figure. Firm guiding hand and kick in the bum when you know you are being lazy and mediocre even to your own standards. Thank you Jocko!

Well deserved standing O. Discipline equals Freedom.

Very nice interview, great slow speed and clear enunciation (easy for non-native speakers to follow), and the salient points of discipline all covered. And I think the interviewer did a great job here.

Clicking the next KZfaq video of Jocko is what brought me to this video... I lack discipline. And will need to work harder on it. But all in all, Jocko is spot on with everything he said, says, and is saying. Better. Stronger. Faster. Smarter. Less ego. More humble. Discipline is FREEDOM. 🤙🤙🤙

As a new yoga teacher - I am discovering the joy of discipline. I enjoyed this talk! I want to be an inspiration to others- for Freedom in mind, body and spirit. Thanks!

He inspired me to start working out again at age 29 after not exercising at all since age 19.

Thank you for giving me good, sound, solid advice and for letting me know how to do things I need to! It's making things better for me in my own life! Thank you very much for doing what you are doing and for saying what you're saying, Jocko!!

Great interview. I appreciate this. I also have a caveat that no one likes to hear on these channels or platforms. It is the fact that some people are disciplined, worked and work hard and never get to have that freedom. Some people are burdened with things they cannot control or choose. They only have the choice to not give up… on themselves or the few relying on them. For anyone born working class/working poor and below we happen to live in a country where there are still possibilities to rise up and incrementally change/improve your circumstances.. the opportunity is somewhat shrinking, but still available. With that being said, if you get hit hard early while in process of improving/changing your life it becomes exponentially more difficult as a time moves forward and you get hit hard every time you get back up never getting to the point where you have longtime security.. sure your character improves every time you choose not to quit and work harder and smarter than most just to have the bottom rung of middle class. The issue becomes that you do have a finite amount of time and people are superficial. So people have a strong belief that everyone whom has wealth or things has worked hard and has good character.. and that the inverse is that anyone without wealth is of bad character or at least deserves their lot in life

What an amazing output. Yes....i remember when i waa younger and i wanted to do everything, always woke up early to do it because no one in my whole family was awake to stop me or complain. I had a great body, I was voted most likely to succeed because I was good at everything or so they said. Yet, the humble part of me felt that I wasn't done yet. Now my life runs me. My motivation is gone and my kids trample me. I desire to complete so much and have no clue where to start. See I'm still dreaming but I'm not eating. So I'm hungry for my desires and because you said so, I'm trusting you a hero a leader. Pray for us all. Thanks for your service, your motivation, lessons in discipline and determination, and sharing it with the world.

I totally agree with the routine. I have a structured day and have had one since I left school. My evenings are the most routinized. But, do not schedule every single hour of the day. You need to be flexible.

Thank for this !!! Discipline equals freedom.

Thank you.. so helpful. Some things seem obvious. And they are, but not to everyone. Great man..hard worker, very encouraging

Well this answered my question. Discipline = FREEDOM

Something in there for everyone. Good shit. Glad he's on our side...

Jocko Willink, always the leader of discipline

Let’s welcome a HERO!! Hell ya so proud of this man

We are all the interviewer, especially the haters 🙏🏼👍🏽 great talk

The audiobook is awesome. To hear him read it makes it hit home 🙏🏻

This man is big inspiration for something that i lack allot.

The story at the end was incredible

I see Jocko managed to bring Echo with him. The discipline he has just to put up with the acoustics, is phenomenal.

The part at the end about discipline is like the saying no one wants to die, but every one wants to go to evan… people always envy our lifestyle, but never the hards in it.

Great interview, well spent 27 minutes. Now go back and GET AFTER IT. Thanks Jocko.

That last story was a great way to drive the point home.

Thank you again, Jocko for sharing with us. I arrays live hearing what you have to say. One day I'll make it out to one of your leadership seminars.

4:22 When Jocko says he will punish you, I actually believe him.

Will always look up to you Jocko.

The part about how he structures 4 hrs and not structuring a full day is a powerful system because you feel less stressed and overwhelmed while working on your top goals. I tried this and it's the most work I've done in 6 years. Also if you can do the structured 4 hours for your top goals earlier in the morning, even better before the interuptions start.

Waking up early is like kicking a bad habit. The first couple days are tough but u eventually get through it. Short term is rough but u reap the rewards in the long term as long as u stay on the path. Be comfortable but focused!

the interview does not matter. Jocko Willink is a leader of men

I just fired my boss and then became the CEO of the corporation after watching this. On a real note, grateful to have listened to this.

Absolutely correct. What Jocko says lines up perfectly with the old saying "It is easier to control a 10,000 man army, than your own mind!" That is one smart, tuff, disciplined and talented soldier right there named Jocko! Jocko, slow down and command the pace! imho

Jocko much respect.... I'm a Blk belt in Judo.. and just want to say thanks

Jocko is the man. Period.

If only the majority of people could acquire 20% of Jocko's discipline the world would already be a better place!

Very good! Jacko's teachings are great and real! I love to hear his advice!

Jocko is my idol

TONS of value. Thank you! :)

I think if you are about to interview a beast like Jocko, most people would have problems getting into a comfortable place. I imagine he makes guys who spend most time at Starbucks on their Mac between their pilates classes very very very insecure and nervous.

Good evening, Echo.

Jocko, calls it as it is - great msg

Jocko is a great man!

A brilliant statement, strong, intelligent and ethical.

Jocko is so articulate and talks so much sense. Great to learn from.

*DISCIPLINE EQUALS FREEDOM*

Absolutely fantastic video!!!

Their footwear tells the story of their lives.

Success is to work hard and maintain your bills honest and do not be lazy. Thank God for my freedom and my family. I am greatful to be able to be working again.

An incredible source of inspiration and motivation

Musicians discipline themselves the same way Jocko talks about and actually, speaking as a teacher, that's how the brain learns and processes information.

I like it, loved it. This man's words are life changing and so astonishingly simple

Great questions!! the interviewer did a good job. Good listening skills!!

Jocko for President 2020

This is very good talk by this ex seal. I do exercise almost everyday I normally wake up at 6am or earlier naturally so that easy.

I followed his wake up routine for 3 weeks. It was hell. Hell. He was really made by the Navy seals.

Brilliant… I love how he explains the concept of discipline on the long term to get the result while keeping some room for flexibility on the short term (like planning only 3-4 hours of the day and being ready to deal with the uncertainty that happens)

The best musicians are those that master the rules.

That ending hit

Jocko is the real deal !! .

I am greatful for my freedom. I am greatful to be working again. I am not to go back to my addiction. I am greatful to understand that my freedom and my family and job are important and I have to work hard for it. Thank God for my freedom and to be working again.

Interesting to watch the interviewer's body and expressions as Jocko spoke - I'm thinking it might have hit home with him, making him feel uncomfortable. :-) But in humility, it's an assumption that could be off. Enjoyed the interview and I appreciate Jocko's perspective. It works!. I get up every work-day, read inspirational material and journalfor 15 - 20 minutes, exercise (biking or yoge) for 30 - 45 minutes, and meditate for 10 - 15 minutes before my shower and breakfast. Amazing how much better I feel and I'm ready for the day. Some of that activity is done with my wife. It has connected us in deeper intimacy and friendship. DO IT!

This guys my new hero💪🏽

Spearheaded.... classic EPR must

Great talk! Thanks for sharing.

@0:20 I thought Jocko was bringing out his own chair there for a second.

I see Jocko. I give thumbs up.

That was motivating. Good interview.

Grind. And win.

Very interesting talk! Thank you for sharing!

Jocko's the man!

wake up early and clean your room.

Jocko seems like a good dude

Awesome interview on Jocko's part, in spite of the embarrassment of an interviewer.

GREAT interview!!

I love you Jocko.❤️

Thanks

The interviewers awkward smile when jocko said he'd punish him later made me cry with laughter.

Hey thanks a lot I really appreciate it blessings
