I recently discovered podcasts at the tender age of 61. I've always been driven. I started a successful business at 25 years old after working in my industry for 5 years (no college). I’m now a national speaker in my industry. I started weight lifting at the same time after becoming obsessed with fitness and nutrition at age 12 (lost 18 lbs at that time). Taught fitness classes on top of my career. The point being it's hard to put a lid on one's ego when you’ve always been getting after it. Jocko made me realize my ego has prevented both personal and professional progress. My knowledge on fitness and nutrition pretty much stopped when I felt like I knew it all (about when Paleo first came on the scene). I've been complacent in my workouts for years because I don't have weight loss goals. I love working really late and getting up really late with 8-9 hours of sleep. A host of things that have kept me stagnant. Things that are in my control. Then a series of events happened to my health (stemming from mold) that put me down a lifestyle podcast rabbit hole that brought me to Jocko (thanks Mikhaila). Jocko’s the one. The one I need to challenge me to question everything in my life. To remind me soft I’ve gotten. I literally cancelled cable, stop reading romance novels (don’t judge), go to bed earlier/get up earlier with less sleep, hit the gym (or fitness room) on days I would normally skip (sometimes), prioritize and execute tasks after being a master procrastinator and have a ‘get after it’ attitude. This is after 3 weeks of listening., imagine what will happen when I get caught up! I’m sure he is not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you have even a modicum of toughness in your soul, even if it’s laying dormant, Jocko will bring it to life. Now prioritize and listen to this podcast.
