  • We want more Echo! Lol

    Long time listener. Big fan. Jocko and Echo are a great positive influence, and their banter is so entertaining. I’d love more episodes on non military personnel.

    The podcast itself was good, but don’t buy anything from their stores because if there’s any discrepancy, there’s no way to contact them. They don’t respond and won’t help you.

  • Planter vs Kyle

    It would be good, perhaps necessary, I believe, that you comment on the remarks/insults Platner had made about other combat vets and particularly Chris Kyle. I think Platner inflicts inappropriate wounds to vets.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jocko Underground: Turn an Inferior Mindset Into an Iron Mindset
Q: I can't seem to get past severe medical trauma, PTSD, as a kid, and it has crippled me with fear, and I can't seem to defeat it.
Jocko advises continuing professional care, considering treatment options and second opinions, and treating progress as a long-term process of small steps. He emphasizes that mental health struggles are not a sign of weakness and that setbacks can occur along the way.
564: Overcoming Fear, Making Movies, and the Way of the Warrior Kid. With McG.
Q: So, the exposure therapy scenario, how long did that take from day one of that process to the point where you're like, hey, I have a handle on this stuff?
McG says it took about six months to begin trusting the process, and roughly three to four months before he could get on a plane. He still deliberately faces situations that trigger anxiety.
564: Overcoming Fear, Making Movies, and the Way of the Warrior Kid. With McG.
Q: And did these start, like what, do you not have any idea what triggers these things or what, where it came from?
McG says his anxiety began around age 15 and he suspects a chemical cause, rather than one specific triggering event. He describes how avoiding situations where he had panic attacks gradually narrowed his life.
562: The Deadly Cost of Bad Leadership. Lessons From Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. With Bing West
Q: What then are the prescriptions of a president, a president should heed when faced with immense, the imminence of major combat?
West recommends rallying the country to recognize threats, defining a clear end state for military action, and using presidential authority to build unity and set a moral tone.
562: The Deadly Cost of Bad Leadership. Lessons From Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. With Bing West
Q: Is that an accurate assessment?
West says his role reporting from the field gave him a broader view of the gap between military plans and what troops could accomplish with local populations. He saw the same unrealistic assumptions recur in Iraq and Afghanistan.
