Jocko Willink-Thoughts

[ldog]

What up guys.

What do ya’ll think of Jocko?

I’ve kept track of him over the years and he has blown up in popularity.

He has quite a few different business ventures going on.

As for me, he seems fine with a consistently positive message and I can relate to most of his fundamentals.

Anyway…any thoughts on him?

Haven’t tried the premade bottles of protein … but the protein powder is pretty good, I’ll usually pick some up when they’re on sale

It does. I was using super clean unflavored protein. @Meetketchup thanks btw, kept mentioning Ryse and I eventually tried it. Now I'm spoiled. I love that stuff.

He's awesome... Grounded, relatable self aware.... I have a few of his books...

I've read his books several times. Great leadership insights for business world and they work. His podcast is very good. It is military focused but I grew up in that environment so for me, it speaks to me. He is all about America first! Great amazing guests on the podcasts when it comes to life lessons, leadership, adversity, how the human spirit perseveres in that adversity. I will agree, his Jocko GO energy can drink tastes like gasoline in any flavor and gives no energy. But his protein powder is good, I like his Banana protein powder and the peanut chocolate. Overall, he's a good American, great dad, and good businessman who wants to employ Americans and have things made in America.

The important question is - is he natty as he claims, or enhanced??

 

[BigMike305]

I think he’s natty … he’s not overtly jacked or huge, but is in shape for a guy his age

He trains daily like at 430 am, does a ton of BJJ (pretty sure he’s a black belt ) and surfs in his free time

This is a guy who spent decades in the military w constant conditioning

Jocko seems legit. No doubt

Jocko the person and businessman : Solid man. Had the opportunity to meet him briefly at a seminar he spoke in a while back. Well spoken, polite, humble and it was a pleasant interaction. If you pay attention the core values he expresses I think he isnt saying anything new or groundbreaking but just reminding people to get back to the basics of taking accountability and discipline. His podcast isn't bad and I think he tries to keep his takes on people or events sane.


The weirdo online spaces that obsess over him: bunch of psychos who turned listening him into a cult of dipshits. But thats not unique to him, lots of public figures attract that bullshit.

It's like the David Goggin's cult.
