Listener Reviews

A brilliant podcast from a surprisingly eloquent jocko. very direct speaking about ways to improve life and relationships through hard work and indirect approaches. Brings to life through an experienced, nuanced and interesting perspective to military history that would never have been understood by non military people. Echo has some good points but reminds me of myself when trying to explain things. Great podcast and it’s helping me to mature and see different points of view through detachment! Everyone needs a reset button for their life, ego and humility. This podcast is literally the reset button, it helps put things into perspective. Thanks guys from across the pond!!

Mind blowing podcast left me in tears many times thought this journey! Love, honour, great admiration and respect To you all that serve every day! Thank you for sharing where’s mine blowing journeys you men endure! God bless and love all the way to you !!!! There aren’t enough stars here to give u a rating 🙏🙏🙏

This podcast needs to be in your library. Do it, you will not regret it. Warning, though, the subject matter can get pretty heavy sometimes just like life. Jocko with Echo Charles, the guests they sometimes host and the books Jocko chooses to review for the listeners... ...it's All Killer, No Filler.

A friend said "are you smashing Jocko podcasts ?" "I replied who is Jocko?" Now I know. This happened in a time of my life when motivation was low. I now know not to rely on motivation. I'm back on the path and a lot and more disciplined. I'm no Jocko and don't pretend to be a veteran by any stretch but have learnt heaps from his teaching and life experiences and have since applied them to my civilization life with great results. .. you don't need to be a SEAL to listen to these podcasts.

You guys put me in check. Thanks for being inspiring.

Love it! Love everything about Jocko’s black and white approach to life. So many great lessons and simple solutions to everyday life issues. This is a game changer 💪🏼

Jocko, thanks. Your podcast makes me a better person, husband, father and overall human being. Your audience should be 7b people, the world would be a better place. Huge respect, thanks again.

This timely podcast reminds us of attributes sorely missing from our culture; kindness, decency and open-mindedness need not be considered effeminate, rather, coupled with actions they demonstrate moral conviction and strength of character. Lead on Sir.

This podcast gives you the knowledge and support to seek out and destroy weekness. Come at me weekness I’M WAITING

I don’t like the jocko podcast. I don’t like that discipline equals freedom, because I know that I lack discipline. I don’t like that simple is so hard, because I know I make simple hard. I don’t like that extreme ownership is critical, because I know that I am not owning critical things. I don’t like that detachment so important, because I know that I am attached to the unimportant. I don’t like the books about the darkness, because I know I don’t spread enough light. I don’t like the guests and their real-life stories, because I know that I have no story to tell I don’t like the jocko podcast and for that I am truly, truly grateful.

Essential leadership listening and great company in the traffic. Get some!

This is THE best podcast that I have heard in a long time cranking through the episodes every day learning heaps and getting after it keep it up

Jocko & echo love the podcast keep it up and get after it any thought in maybe having the luttrell brothers on in a 2 part just a thought

Everything about this podcast is amazing. Such an enjoyable and funny time too

If you want to expand your mind, become more self-motivated and disciplined and just achieve more in your life - listen to this podcast. Not only is it highly informative it is very entertaining too. Jocko and Echo - thanks for doing this podcast.

This is by far the BEST podcast Ive heard in YEARS! Very inspiring words spoken very clearly and the guests are 100% top notch. Definitely recommend this podcast to anyone. #GetAfterIt #DisciplineEqualsFreedom

Always enjoy the podcast. Every episode has amazing information, is well presented and hits the mark. I leave ready to get after it and reflective on a different perspective gained. Everything is great although the "book reports" leave the biggest impact. They are truly awesome. I listen to these during my morning workouts. Thank you Jocko and Echo

This podcast sucks. I've been a white belt in crew-sing for 8 months and feel I have plateaued. I've been grinding 3 times a week, on my couch, in my truck (four windows down, tunes up) and even on the intrawebs. I'm getting out-crewsed by guys smaller than me on all fronts. I thought this podcast would take me to the next level, but they barely talk about crewsing. daaannNNGG Justin from Toronto

The best book to everyday life comparisons you'll ever get in a podcast. Motivational at times and helps people see the bigger picture of the world we live in that's not often spoken about.

Jocko provides insight into life and leadership that we can all learn and improve from. Topics and discussions relevant to people in all walks of life and location. Also enjoy Echos insight and advice. Love your work gents. Thank you.

Have you ever wondered how, in 2018, we still have ongoing wars, homelessness, terrorism, people indebted to the point they’ll never be free, douchebag politicians ruining countries, and a near universal discontentment with the lives we lead? You see, the life you have is largely determined by the things you do and how you do them. Which is largely determined by who you are and how you think. Which is largely determined by who you hang out with and what you read/listen to (your input). So if you want to change it, then you have to go way down to the root and start there. Change your input, to change the way you think, begin doing different things, and you’ll beget different results. Eventually your friends will get on board and you have a massive tidal wave of individuals and groups of individuals doing incredible things in life that will change our whole world as a mere byproduct of its existence. And it all starts with Jocko Podcast. Leadership and life lessons taken from some of the most incredible books ever written about the subject, augmented by stories Jocko‘s personal experience, and turned up all the way to eleven by Jocko’s intensity and commitment to hold the line. It’s downright infectious in the best possible way and it WILL inspire you to DO and change your life.

Just listen, although not while working out, I did less sit-ups because I got too distracted! Oh and read his books too! Thanks Jocko, for everything.

I first heard Jocko on the Tim Ferriss podcast, and I thought he was intense. Then I heard his promotion of his new book: ‘Discipline equals freedom’ on the Tim Ferriss podcast. I bought the book, I read it and now I can’t quite get enough of the common sense he’s saying. Great, great, great podcast! Just the profound words that “everyday is a gift” fills me with gratitude. Thanks Jocko! PS. Please narrate an audio book of discipline equals freedom soon!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
