Tim Ferriss Podcast 395 - Jocko Willink Takeover

[mynewunit]

“You might have to make some tactical retreats in order to win the long war, but never quit on your strategic vision. Never quit on getting to the ultimate place where you want to go.” — Jocko Willink



Jocko Willink (@jockowillink) takes over the show for a special episode. Jocko is one of the scariest human beings imaginable. He is a lean 230 pounds and a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt who used to tap out 20 Navy SEALs per workout. He is a legend in the special operations world, and his viral podcast interview with me was the first public interview he ever did. Jocko spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy and commanded SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, the most highly decorated special operations unit from the Iraq War. Upon returning to the United States, Jocko served as the officer-in-charge of training for all West Coast SEAL Teams, designing and implementing some of the most challenging and realistic combat training in the world.

Well noted again, sir.
There's wisdom in long game mentality; less patience needed, more folly in short game.

Is it possible we resist this wisdom because EGO unexpectedly reared the ugly head of a vulnerability's secret stash?

The bitter medicine is always hard until you have experience.  Doing the work is always the last option, until you know.
