Navy Seal EXPLAINS How To BUILD Self-Discipline & EXTREME OWNERSHIP | Jocko Willink & Lewis Howes

Thank you for watching this powerful interview with Jocko Willink!

Jocko Willink is a decorated retired Navy SEAL officer, author of the book ‘Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win,’ and co-founder of Echelon Front, where he is a leadership instructor, speaker, and executive coach.

Jocko spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams, starting as an enlisted SEAL and rising the ranks to become a SEAL officer. As commander of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser during the battle of Ramadi, he orchestrated SEAL operations that helped the “Ready First” Brigade of the U.S. Army’s First Armored Division bring stability to the violent, war-torn city. Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the Iraq War. Jocko returned from Iraq to serve as Officer-In-Charge of Training for all West Coast SEAL Teams. There he spearheaded the development of leadership training and personally instructed and mentored the next generation of SEAL leaders who have continued to perform with great success on the battlefield.

In 2010, Jocko retired from the Navy and launched Echelon Front with Leif Babin, where he teaches the leadership principles he learned on the battlefield to help others lead and win.

Jocko has put together leadership principles that will help you become a successful leader.

I am feeling overwhelmed with my new role at work and this interview has helped me to think again about how I'm doing things, my attitude and my inner strengths. The power of words from wise men is immense. I've gone from 0 to 10 with energy and motivation to get on with it. Thanks a million xxxx

I would love see Jocko Willink and David Goggins appear on a podcast together. I have seen the same suggestion made countless times on other YouTube videos and generally it is motivated by people wanting to see two ‘badasses’ join forces and create epic content. I for one would like to see the two men amicably communicate their differences in objectives, perspectives and experiences. Seeing such opposing members of the SEAL fraternity engaged in such a dialogue would be incredibly insightful and provide many lessons for all interested. I have followed both individuals closely and it is clear that similarity is not what will bring them together, but, after a few years of listening to them engaged in comfortable conversation with individuals who are already inclined to agree with them (whether it be because they are in awe of their very presence and accomplishments or because they are old friends or members of the same circles and/or schools of thought) I feel it would refreshing to see them hold their own against another military man whom they do not see eye to eye with on things.

The snippet of Jocko and Leif describing BUDs made it very apparent how far apart one side is from the other. Whilst I do not see it as thinly veiled shot at Goggins as some have interpreted it to be, it is still a telling example of the chasm in attitudes between the two parties. It would be interesting for them to hear them explain and compare their attitudes towards Hell Week, the SEAL teams, combat, leadership and life itself.

"Im not satisfied, but nothings missing" -- couldn't agree more! Be grateful for where you're at and what you have, but always be striving for improvement!

I love how the interviewer asks the questions and then allows the guest to answer without being interrupted... Big skill sir.. Keep the good work and a greate Thanks to Mr. Jocko for his service... It's priceless

[Abouunds]

This dude has 2 incredible books. I was going through tough times and extreme ownership was the way out of that situation and any problems really

[antonduhgr]

This guy is legitimately one of the most alert/aware and knowledgeable people ive ever come across. Crazy intuitive.

[jasoncuray]

The most underrated interview ever!!! Been going back to this interview 100 times

[sergeysovenok]

The more I learn about Jocko the more I love him and what he has to share with the world!

[TerryThunderStrike]

When you are the leader you take responsibility for the screwups, but you give credit to the team when for everything that goes right.

[IsaccLightbournELPASOREALTOR]

Motivation makes you want to be successful, self-discipline gets you there.

[owengottlick]

This is a great man to have on your show. Much respect.

[AnvydeTour]

I was literally sweating this whole interview. You are bold to ask all these questions despite some uncomfortable reactions. Wow! So powerful. Thank you, Lewis! I loved this.

[davidkopecek]

wow what questions Lewis, youre a great interviewer always...And I love Jocko's way how he explain things and give examples. What a man. How much fire and battle you can see in his face.

[manuelz]

Lewis, I really love how keep making yourself vulnerable, how you keep asking questions that seem to me like they're uncomfortable to ask!
I've watched a few interviews with Jocko, and I've liked them all! Yours was a bit different and more personal. Thanks! :-D

[igpa]

Question everything! That’s a good starting point! I think about a new start everyday when it comes to my training. I need to extend this approach to other areas of my life.

[ryanfrisella]

The reflect and diminish thought is gold, really nice take on pacing and leading but brings much more clarity and universality of use for me
