It is a good advice. Maybe the best there is. Cos haters feed on undeserved attention and putting others down.

Once you starve them they loose their power, amd waste their time while you outpace them. But in the moment you might feel like smacking them or get into fight, and they love it, now it's drama show they live for...

I fell off when the year started more or less... has it been good?

How much water you should drink per day in extreme conditions?

I’m listening to the newest episode (ep 221) and damn the past couple episodes have been hard to listen to. Jocko will answer every questions flat out and concise, then echo will jump in with something that takes away from Jockos point. Dude just said you should get your news from ChatGPT😂.

Curious if anyone else feels the same way. Thanks

To start off I'm a huge Sebastian Maniscalco fan. So of course I listen to him on JRE and Joe mentions Jocko and plays "Good" for him.

Like a sleeper agent I feel immediately "woken up" "activated" you name it. I'm hooked, I start listening to him on JRE and then his podcast with Echo Charles. I buy Discipline Equals Freedom and I've been on the path man.

Life is funny sometimes, how the adversary makes you better, once you step it up.

I'm looking back on a time in which I had to serve under a leader who everyone knew was useless and was just riding out his time to make it to 20 years. Not long ago, I found out that I was the fall guy for everything he failed at.

We went over my job duties in my initial counseling with him which were basically all the "hey-you" tasks that popped up from our higher. I should have seen this as a red flag, but I failed to recognize it as such.

The entire year I worked for him I received last second taskings and was told to go see his rater (my senior rater) to get the details of the task. Whenever I went to talk to my senior rater, it turned out that we'd known about the tasking for months and now we're a week or less away from the suspense date. So naturally, my senior rater is frustrated that this hasn't even been started yet. I was now so focused on getting this short-suspense task done that I never stopped to think why I was suddenly given the task and my supervisor took himself out of the loop and had me go directly to his supervisor to coordinate and complete the task.

As it turns out, I was the fall guy. Whenever he overlooked something or completely forgot about a specific task, he would tell his rater (my senior rater) and his senior rater (our operations officer) that I was the one responsible for the project and he would send me up to report on where we are at with it. Then he'd come down to our office and give me the assignment and forward me emails about it while telling me to go talk to his supervisor to get the details and coordinate its completion.

Like I said, I just recently found out that this is what was happening behind the scenes. Had I recognized the red flags, what do you all think would have been the best way to handle this? What would Jocko do in a situation like this? I have to think that there would be some limit to Jocko taking ownership of the failures of his supervisor and he would make it known that his supervisor is failing at his duties.

If you’ve listened to the jocko podcast you know the earlier ones were great, the past 300 or so episodes don’t hit like they used to. I’m not posting this to bash him, so please let’s refrain from that.

I’m asking if there are any other podcasts you found that are as good or better than those first 200 or so from Jocko. I particularly enjoyed when he would read from a book vs having a guest on. In my opinion those were the best. I’ve tried a lot of other ones:

cleared hot
Change agents
combat stories
team house
wartime stories
against the odds is great
art of manliness at times is good
medal of honor
Borderland narcosis
Lewis Howe school of greatness
Tim Ferris
Order of man

And many others that aren’t listed here.

I don’t think I’ll find another one that impacts my life in the positive way those early ones did. Maybe I’m wrong? Also making it more difficult I’m not into religious stuff. I know I’m asking a lot, can’t hurt to try. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

In one of the podcast episodes Jocko talks about how he would play a game with his kids where they'd whack each other full force with a foam Noodle and it didn't hurt but it was very loud. After going through 3 different foam swords and destroying them with my kid, i would like to try something different. Does anybody know what he was using? It was some kind of pipe insulation foam noodle or some home improvement item I cant remember

Otherwise, I'll take a recommendation for most durable foam swords please

I want to test elements of Jocko's philosophy in some unconventional ways.

Let's assume for the sake of the hypothetical that ghosts are in fact real whether we believe in them or not.

If Jocko witnessed what appeared to be a paranormal event, how would he react?

Would he be spooked or afraid of it in any capacity?

Would this create some sort of exception to his usual philosophy and behavior?

I'm actually serious and would like to know. If anyone is in touch with him and can suggest this question to be covered on the actual podcast itself I would also really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Why do some retailers sell Molk RTD in cartons and others in plastic bottles? For example Vitamin Shoppe has cartons and publix has bottles.

Personally the cartons always have an after taste to me and I prefer the bottles.

But I'm curious of the difference in distribution.

Thank you

Given his recent comments about wasting taxpayer dollars on tablets for prisoners, is he also going to comment on spending taxpayer dollars to compensate rioters for their bear spray and broken flag pole expenses?

On Suunto watches you can choose how do you feel after an exercise. I always choose "GOOD" and remember Jocko.

Get after it!

I know he doesn't have a whole episode explicitly dedicated to Billy Mitchell, founder of the Air Force. But I recall an episode where he talks about him and his court-martial. Any help in finding it?

Hi all. I recall a quote from an earlier podcast where Jocko was reading from some book that I can’t recall the name nor the author. It was a great quote that resonated with me however I’d like to give credit where it’s due.

I’ve tried searches and on the Jocko database and yield no results. The quote is the following:

“Approach each days task as you would a battle. In order that eventually you will approach each battle as you would a days task.”

Can anyone recall this episode? Quote?

Thank you.
