Echo was telling a story about moving around 5-gallon water coolers in his garage, and since doing the cast of pod with Jocko, Echo chose the harder path. Jocko kinda said: "So after about a year or so of doing the podcast with me, Echo has turned into a complete savage." I literally replayed it more than two times. It surprisingly stuck with me for more than just being an obvious hyperbole. It's been a rather motivating mantra with the right touch of levity. Got my 10-year-old daughter saying it now.
I love to parse, but can't remove the comedy element via brain's back-burner style. COMPLETE: total; entire; full; lacking nothing; maxed out, etc. SAVAGE (as a noun): wild, barbarous person; violent, feral animal. (Think cannibal or perhaps one rabid raccoon attacking 10 polar bears.) I love how taking the path of more resistance with a mere 42 lbs (after the plastic bottle's tare weight) equates to "a complete savage."
I wrote down the exact number podcast I heard this from, but it may be 110. If you're interested, I likely have the exact date and time at which I wrote it down, as well the exact time "complete savage" is found on the cast of pod in question.
Either way, how can you be a COMPLETE SAVAGE in your life today? Perhaps you have to cannibalize some destructive habit in your life and kill it with the ferocity of a rabid poodle that decapitates pitbulls... Maybe you have to listen and not talk so much but it takes severe amounts of self-control and patience...? Not just partial but COMPLETE SAVAGE.

7 post and HumorTruthWin has cracked it.
What are you doing to stop yourself? Sure you want it, but is it when you get time, once you get enough sleep, after you get the promotion, when the kids are older.
Or is it worth getting up too early, staying up too late. Ignoring friends, girls, TV, the bar, alcohol, the couch, Stripping your life down to the bare responsibilities and attacking your dream. Focusing savage intensity on your fitness, finances, work, house, marriage, or the path.
Making the long game the first thing you do.
Hardcore Recondo's. Complete Savage. Even standing in line at the grocery store.
