Navy SEAL Jocko Willink on discipline, ownership, and the freedom on the other side (an MTM Short)

Retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink joins Jon and Will to break down what "discipline equals freedom" actually looks like in daily life. They cover getting up early and imposing your will on the day, recognizing over-training before it wrecks you, extreme ownership as a leadership tool and a life tool, the detachment story that changed how Jocko leads, humility as the single most important trait in a leader, default aggressive (and knowing when to override it), and applying battlefield leadership principles to parenting and family. Jocko also shares what it was like to lose Mark Lee, Ryan Job, and Mikey Monsoor in Ramadi, and how that loss fuels his gratitude for every single day. Jon opens up about his own survivor's guilt from Operation Red Wings and how it led him to mindfulness. The episode closes with Jocko's first on-air one-minute meditation.Full episode: pod.fo/e/2d9003 Full video: youtu.be/_FmnCrniCq4Take the free A2A Awareness self-assessment or check out the full A2A course: text MTM to 33777 or click here for more info: https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/linkinbio Check out our Awareness-to-action Self Mastery COURSE & COMMUNITY:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.
