    Month 5 of getting up at 4am. 60 lbs lighter. Plenty of time. I still get 7hours of sleep per night.
  • @brototype It's a great interview. I watched this as part of my curriculum. Thank you brototype for recommending this amazing concept. 1)Get up early 2)Manage your time 3)Balance your day and there by your life. Finally Discipline = Freedom
  • @thomasdrake1486
    He provided the secret to success at the 18 min time frame. Get up early and have a plan and disciple yourself to take small steps each day because they add up to BIG RESULTS! Focus 1-2 hours each day and do this over and over again and one day "It must be nice" will happen in your life. This applies to anything important to you. Family, Faith, Fitness, Fortune, and Friends. You and I mean you, can do these things and others will see you at the TOP. Get to work!

    Jocko looks like he was made by the SEALs. Like, in a lab.
  • @travv88
    "It's ok, you will be punished later" lmao!
  • The main reason I love listening to Jocko isn't because he is a bad ass, or because he is a NAVY SEAL. But because his way of living is of the utmost importance any human being should strive for. God bless you and thank you sir.
  • @ae5646
    Jocko made them come in at 4am for this conference and then pt’d them all before the start time.
  • @evab.6240
    Man, he's a good speaker. I cannot imagine being so eloquent and at the same timd also look at the interviewer and look at the audience, it's pretty amazing what kind of stage presence he has
  • @bigboss0101
    2:05 jocko sees hes sitting the same way as him then instantly changes his leg position lol
  • I bought the book a couple years ago and it began my journey of discipline. I love this guy.
  • The whole time I'm watching this, I can't stop thinking about how scared I would be if this guy was ever mad at me.
  • I also prefer to go biking early in the morning before any excuses roll in. I also like the calm and peace of being out in a forest when it's empty. I like the sound of the leaves and the wind and a few squirrels playing in the trees.
  • @utoobfan7203
    To all of those that complained about the interviewer, you missed the point. Jocko did not let it affect the interview. Next time focus on what's important. Great information!
  • @JacquiMwangi
    Love the Jocko quote that to wake up early, you start by waking up early not going to sleep early. New way of looking at the problem...
  • As a new yoga teacher - I am discovering the joy of discipline. I enjoyed this talk! I want to be an inspiration to others- for Freedom in mind, body and spirit. Thanks!
  • @fabinwuhan
    when Jocko gets up , his hair salutes him
  • @tsn_7xi
    1. Discipline = freedom 2. Complex problem, simplify them and solutions 3. Humility is a vital trade of a leader 4. To become discipline get up early in the morning 5. Don't schedule every minute of your day schedule your working hours and important parts 6. Start your cycle by walking up earlt not going to bed early 7. Balance is very important

    I think 2020 and 2021 disproved Jocko's belief that "everyone wants more freedom." There are a lot of people who want government control, want a dictatorship, want the nanny state. There are a lot of people fear freedom become it requires personal responsibility.
