Listener Reviews

I’ve been listening to Jocko and Echo since the beginning. Every day that passed, I regretted not starting jiujitsu. It took me 5 years! I was scared, like Mikey. I was afraid of getting out of my comfort zone and onto the path, onto the mats of justice. Well, it finally happened. I crossed over to the other side. I’m on week 3. I’ve been going 3 times a week so far. I’ve been choked, had all my limbs torqued, got gi burns and my poor wife has to wash my gi 3 times a week! Check. Now, my dream is to have a level 9 death match with Jocko, then Echo. One day I will make it happen.

The stories and inspiration that Jocko and Echo share are so inspiring and encouraging. The lessons that I have learnt from hearing the life lessons from those who give everything to defend the greatest country on earth! Keep up the good work!

Jocko has great insights on life and displays the self control instilled by his upbringing in all facets of life that he shared on the podcast. #353 was my least fav episode. The guest had a serious case of “I” disease. No wonder he’s looking at a career in politics!

Awesome shows, Like a protein shake for your mind

A required podcast for all people, but especially men with lost souls.

Thank you for your service. First off. I am just a patriot. Not able to join third are beautiful and a great nation. It was due to medical reasons. I do wish it was different, but that is the way the cookie crumbles for me. Been listening to you for quite some time now. This is my first review. All I feel like I can say is thank you and please continue. Also just ordered me a case of the goat energy mango to be exact thank you Echo for hyping it up more and more. Looking forward to continuing to hear the stories of our men and women of service. Us as civilians do own our service men and women everything.

This pod is GOOD!!

I’m 27 years old and I have struggled with heroine and meth addiction since I was a teenager. I have some diagnosed mental illness and these two things have made my life very difficult. I’ve been clean for almost 3 years now. I heard Jocko for the first time a few years ago and my first thought was I could never be that disciplined. However over the last few years I have been growing a lot thanks to you and your understanding of self discipline and simple and profound practical wisdom through experience! I’m married now and my wife and I have a beautiful baby boy that’s 1 and half. I’m still a work in progress and I fall short a lot, but I get up and get back on the path! Thank you for your service and for sharing yourself and your hard earned wisdom, it’s definitely helped me become more of the man I want to be and I’m just getting started!

Such an important topic and these guys are doing Gods work. More exposure is needed, they need to get this information in front of Joe Rogan’s audience and anyone else that will listen. Great episode.

Can Echo Charles have his own podcast or at least an episode? I was thinking how funny it would be in the opening to hear “This is the Echo Podcast with Jocko Willink and me, Echo Charles. Good evening Jocko.”

This podcast is giving me such good guidance and positive energy; it’s invaluable! It is guiding me out of some dark patches in my life, boosting my self-knowledge and self-discipline. Thank you!

God bless you for putting these veterans and their stories out there. You’ve out done yourself and provided a platform for these guys to share their experiences.

very inspiring 👊

I loved the interview with the WW2 fighter ace . His rise from humble beginnings to being a bird colonel was amazing as was his life . As a British immigrant I can say only I’m the USA is such a rise possible . Kudos to him . The Mustang was indeed and a game changer and as Goering stated when he saw the first ones appear over Berlin . Escorting the bomber force . “ that was the day I knew we had lost the war “ The only thing I would add is the Mustang had the British Merlin engine . The same as the Spitfire . That change of engines from the original was the game changer A US designed aircraft frame and weaponry with a British designed engine Great aircraft designed and improved be great Allie’s As an old paratrooper I’m loving your podcast . As most former soldiers would

Just as the title says.. I listen to some awesome pod casts, but jocko does it like nobody else. The level of respect you have for soo many of the people and their stories, and because of this, I love the interactions. Stories that need to told, and the perfect set of people to do it!

Jocko is the Goat hands down. Echo you seem cool too. This podcast is the best. Thank you for making it.

I started downloading this podcast just ahead of Covid, and never got to it until this month. Episodes are too long, I told myself. Excuses are gone now. I’m years behind but I’m starting from the beginning and consuming it all. Consumed in total or in short bits, the uncommon common sense (one of Jocko’s superpowers) and the call to action (not just listen) is what I’ve needed for a long time. Bravo, gents, and thank you for your service to protect freedom.

I like the podcast when under an hour. When I see that some are 2+ hours i wonder who has that kind of time. I do like the applications to everyday life. A great to podcast overall.

I listen to a lot of podcasts but Jocko’s is by far the best one out there.

If you need a good testosterone boost that’s legal and free, Take a listen to this podcast and watch as your test levels increase and ooze out of your pores. Huge fan to the show. Huge fan of jocko and echo. That you gentlemen for what you do. Keep pumping it out!

Good

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.

Jacko, could you please interview Marine Major Fred Galvin. His story is amazing and I know you would do an amazing job interviewing him. Keep up the great work. Dan
