Listener Reviews
Good content, but…
Jocko puts out really good content, and truly does open your eyes to many topics and situations. If you can’t swing a subscription to the “underground” content right now, however, don’t bother writing to the email address mentioned on the podcast. You won’t hear back. The free content is really good though.
My eye opener
Thank you for your time and experiences and your willingness to share. Someone once told me that you have to stand for something or you will fallow anything. Then I heard it in a country song. It has changed my life. I was a solid follower and very passive male. Athletic and strong but extremely passive. Your podcast helps me keep that on track. Thank you
A good podcast
The management & leadership content is outstanding. Way too long for no reason, and too much grappling talk. Get to the point. These 3 hour podcasts could easily be shortened to under two hours, & would be so much better.
Early review
I appreciate your service to the country and views on discipline and life, but I don’t like the anti-carbohydrate un-scientific views on diet that Jocko stated on episode 6. I have listened to about 3 episodes so far. A blended fruit shake is by no means bad for you, you need to have balance and nuance. Carbohydrates drive athletic performance, they aren’t “necessary”, but it is wrong to say “they are bad for you”. I love the idea of detachment, especially from “worldly” things and short term pleasures. It is interesting that I have often heard anti-carbohydrate talk from similarly minded platforms. So far seems like a good place for philosophical advice on toughness.
GOOD!
I’ve listened to all the episodes, having found the podcast 6 years ago. Jocko and Echo have an awesome relationship and that comes out on the mic. They touch on everything from War to sport and everything in between. You’ll learn something from all of the guests they have on. Can’t recommend this highly enough. NFS!

A line to hold
Leadership, personal development, business leading…I’ve been listening since the beginning after finding Willink’s book on library apps. Check it out.
Best podcast out there!
I’m a regular listener, Jocko’s podcast changed my life. I have made several changes in my life that have helped me become fit, more prepared, and focused on the important things in my life. Make sure you also check out his books and website as well. Thank you for everything Jocko!

Jocko ! My name is Ron. I love your podcast. It’s so inspiring and informative. Thank you for all that you have done and will do!
6+ years in, still outstanding
Apparently the International Olympic Committee will start testing athletes for listening to Jocko Podcast before competing to prevent any unfair advantages.
So inspiring
Finally listened to the podcast and wish I would have started sooner. Everyone can afford to listen to this! - Sabrina Narrow_Path_Sabrina on IG
Officer having relations with married private
Jocko, I would like your help and opinion about an officer having relations with a private, and even when it is brought to the command at Ft. Hood. My son is a E-5, his wife joined and is a E-1. She has had this relationship for a while and her command knew it was happening because she was bragging about it. The LT.‘a captain said he was going to investigate and said that they were told to stop. No reproductions to either, and still is going on. My son has to do a year in Korea and now is in the process of divorce. No one from the captain and major down has done absolutely nothing to have and code of justice. What is happening to our military leaders? How can they see this and do nothing? There is a mass exodus going on because of the leadership especially at Ft. Hood. I am so angry that my son and my grandchildren see their mother doing this while their dad is in Korea. I would greatly appreciate your opinion. Thank you, your podcast is amazing and I’ve been listening for years and have the upmost respect for you and your service for this country.
Keep it up
As a Navy Reservist Gunnersmate and a FED, I love listening to this podcast. It gets me in the right mindset every morning going to the gym to “Get After It”. It reaffirms the freedoms we take for granted each day and reminds me why I do my job. It reaffirms my mindset that today could be the day and to stay alert and keep my head in the game. I will continue to get better, faster, stronger so that I can best my enemy when the time comes. Thank you.
Jocko teaching us what our parents didn’t
Love that Jocko is making me accountable for my actions and not to blame others. My ADD makes it difficult to finish the 2-3 episodes though.
Awesome!
I am not a vet but I love this podcast and it builds even more respect that I have for those who serve!
