Listener Reviews

This one finally got me up and in the gym to get after it. Also stopped sitting and watching my son in his BJJ class and joined the adult group. Thank you Jocko and Echo

Very real situations and stories that apply to all aspects of life. Glad I signed up. Get up and get it:)

This is more than just an ordinary podcast in which the hosts shed new light, arguments and perspectives on the topics of the day. Jocko’s oratory style is captivating, but even more important than that is theme and messages present throughout all the episodes thus far. This podcast is not presented as a self help channel, that being said there are many lessons which can be drawn from it. This podcast has been instrumental in turning my life around. While trying to make a path through life, I found myself lost and stuck in a dead end, and Jocko has been the road sign to put me back on track. I can’t recommend this podcast enough.

This podcast has changed my life, and continues to shape my outlook with each new episode. Keep getting after it, Jocko and Echo!

Listen to this and get after it.

Having always bought into media narratives about the cynicism of American interventionalism in the Middle East, listening to someone who has actually been there and led missions in Iraq first hand is incredibly refreshing. Many preconceptions I had held for years have been challenged and ultimately smashed. Part of me wonders why we had to wait so long for someone as intelligent, insightful and eloquent as Jocko to show us how things really work, counter to the post-9/11 narratives we've all swallowed up for so long. This podcast is paradigm-changing. Couldn't recommend it more.

Recently discovered this podcast and it is now one of my favourites. The format is excellent and provides numerous moments that really motivate the listener to keep an open mind and engage the world with a new vigour. Jocko's style is humble and honest and easy to consider and dont forget Echo who often contributes some great interpretations and experiences. Thank you and keep it up!

Great insights into mental and physical aspects of training to be at the top of your game in whatever you do.

Massively inspirational and deeply insightful.

This is a brilliant Podcast, Jocko is refreshingly honest, clear and concise. So much of his experience and principles gained in the military can be taken away and applied to you own life. GET ON IT!

Hey Jocko and Echo please keep up with the good work, and keep motivating so many of us to get after it.

Started listening to the podcast a few weeks ago because I enjoyed Jocko' stories on the JRE and stayed for the benefit to my personal success and outlook on life. I can't Thank you enough Jocko and Echo.

My favourite podcast. I look forward every week to hear Jocko speak. His words and attitude are powerful and have affected me very deeply. For the last two weeks I've gotten up everyday at 4.30a.m and worked out hard. I've seen a change in myself and others have noticed too. I often hear Jockos voice in my head, telling me, coaching me "GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU GOT!!!"...my new mantra. Thanks so much to Jocko and Echo for the podcast.

Insightful, and incredibly applicable lessons even for civilians - this podcast is smart, inspiring, and inspirational.

Awesome stories and life experience being shared- two thumbs up!

This is one of my favourites. It's put a number of fine books on my to-do list by giving a thorough enough breakdown to give you a good overview whilst suitably whetting your appetite enough to make you want to dive in and read them for yourself. Also, some great wisdom to be found within, both during the book reviews and in the answers to listener questions. Very inspirational. Listening to Jocko has genuinely changed my life for the better and upped my game in all areas considerably. Great man. Great podcast. Thank you. Mr. Smith.

Fascinating insight into the leadership styles of US military (through books reviewed on the show as well as Jocko's experiences) and how these boil down to the core principles that can be applied to any and all situations. Absolutely inspiring.

A unique insight into how to take responsibility for yourself and your actions from a proven leader of men

Incredible podcast that you can't listen to with constant distraction. Focus. Absorb.

Jocko is a mad dog. He's inspired me to get after it and am now waking up at 04:30 everyday. Do yourself a favour and listen to him

Jocko has taught me lot of insight about war history, strategy, personal relationships. Most of all, it helps me have a stable ground to work from – reminding me that hardships are to be overcome and that freedom comes from discipline. His podcast is part of a select few (Tim Ferris and Sam Harris) of which I listen to everything. The conversation with Echo also gives it something personal and amiable where I don’t feel like I have to reach up to Navy SEAL level to grow as a person.

Jocko and Echo - great to listen too on a long drive! Good insights into leadership techniques in extreme situations- and entertaining and motivational .

A extraordinary podcast.

The insight you have is incredible and I am sure your podcast will hit the top. I am 43 and in this world it is hard to find content like yours that I find inspirational. Real world experience that I can translate and then implement in to my world. Great podcast with educational, motivational and practical valuable content.
