I've spent a lifetime living the "you don't have to like it, you just have to do it" mantra. No obstacle was too big. No pain too great. I just got up every day and did what needed to be done. Now, in my 50s that has caught up with me. No, I don't have combat wounds I'm recovering from. I don't even have combat experience. I got out of the Army before all that. But the pain from a lifetime of work, with the attitude of a "big" man....if I can lift it, push it, crush it or build it, then I'll damn well do it on my own. These days, the pain is more than real. It's what takes up the majority of my mind now. It rules my life and everything is falling apart. Work, financials, time with my family and most of all, my personality and character. I've become angry and hopeless. No more hope and dreams, besides "when is this gonna stop hurting"?
I ran into Rob Jones on the UUS Midway before this podcast. He is one hell of a Marine. His first podcast he did with jocko gave me the motivation to GET AT IT!
Recently listened hero Rob Jones' first podcast with Jocko (#92) so I'm super stoked that he's going to be back for another great and inspiring episode, god bless!
This is probably the most amiable, chatty Jocko Podcast I've seen. It is even almost entirely positive, good stuff too.... its weird. I like it. (...perhaps I should try Grounded)
Rob is an awesome guy, I had the pleasure and honour of meeting him (even though briefly) when he was starting his first marathon in London in October. I handed over a Greek green berets t-shirt as a "thank you" for his actions and the fact that he continues to inspire and I was amazed how humble, approachable and fun guy he is. Same goes for his missus, both of them so welcoming and great people.
I love how Jocko always says "Good evening, ECHO." I'll be so happy when Echo finally responds "Good evening, JOCKO" instead of just "Good evening". Own it, Echo! :-D
Great podcast. Can you make an excerpt of the end part explaining Rob's theory that selflessness is more important than discipline? Going at least through jockos example of the single mom working 3 jobs.
WSD 2009 no need thank me I didn't do nothing just speak the truth as best I can an i am the one thankful for being able watch such a positive an real podcast. Thank u sir
Thanks for another 👌 hey little a Critique, Echo - not sure where to find the Jocko white tea, Super Krill etc.. on jockostore.com. if I search it in Amazon I find it. maybe list everything on your guy's own website? Any who.. "get after it" shirt on the way!
back in the day I would do the 5k in 18.5 minutes on an all out max day. And 21min on regular days on a 10 mile run which was my regular run. Then I'd work my boxing routine after or spar with some Tai boxers I'd fight 3 guys 3 rounds 7min rounds. Fucking good old days.
I admit, I didn’t really know anything about the Seal Teams, or “get” all this, until I had a chance to watch the movie G.I. Jane (played by Demi Moore). Whoa, really brought this all together, now I understand what it takes…. Seriously, watching and learning from you guys has been a blast. As you were..
“So this then was the culmination: To die- Die in the stinking mud. Twice before I’d crossed this no-man’s land, Darting from shell hole to shell hole. I’m no hero- I was numb with fear. But this time a barrage was on. I lay there at the waste land’s edge- Thinking. Was there any way? To the right lay crack shot snipers, To the left in the brush, Machine guns, Hungry - waiting. And fair in front great bursting mud clouds Playing toss With bodies. “Get through once more, son,” The colonel had said. “Communications down, our guns firing short, Killing our boys.” Yes, it must be done, but how? Wait! The barrage, sweeping across the field and back, A deadly windshield wiper - Were I to follow it down And when it returned Dig in - I might - NOW! Drunk with fighting fear, I chased the mud cloud down the field Kicking dead bodies, Twisting like a ghost, And I laughed, and I yelled, “You bastards! You can’t get me!” Our trenches ahead, Almost there! Back came Hell’s windshield wiper Vomiting death and I dug in- Dug in with all I had. Mom-dear God help me! On it came. Forty feet- Twenty feet- God! My head-torn from my body! ________________________ Is this what being dead is like, Peace, quiet, clean white sheets? My head must still be here, It hurts me. These must be my fingers I can move them. And now a voice, “My boy. For you The war is over.” You hear that, Mom? I’m still alive, I did not die. I’M COMING HOME!”
No such thing as I cant . there is no such thing as cant . they mean they won't. Cause there allways a way to get wut ever it is done . you just have think an not give into that. Evil word that tells u to give up "CANT" is a bullshit horrible word
If I go by what I feel like doing, it may not get done. If I go by what's important, it has to get done. Thanks Guy. This was a great podcast
Rob Jones you are an inspiration! Respect!
1:02:08 "Can't vs Won't". This deserves a noble prize in literature.
I love what he said at that last podcast about handling the weight

From "like Plato" to "a stupid rock" hahaha that's fantastic. What an example of humility, gratitude, and determination.
So legit. You’re appreciated Rob. Thank you!
Man this is so inspirational. Thank you Jocko, Echo and Rob.
I'm loving all the guests! GET SOME!
Hollywood just got finished congratulating themselves. But these are real hero's.

Recently listened hero Rob Jones' first podcast with Jocko (#92) so I'm super stoked that he's going to be back for another great and inspiring episode, god bless!
Aristotle discussed the dichotomy and balance. That balance is The Golden Mean.
THE LEGEND...ROB JONES.....WHAT A STUD
This is probably the most amiable, chatty Jocko Podcast I've seen.
It is even almost entirely positive, good stuff too.... its weird. I like it. (...perhaps I should try Grounded)
...well, apart from the knife thing 🙄

Still have the shirt, brother! Hope to see you again.
It would be my pleasure and honour Rob!
Mahalo nui for sharing, the shows are uplifting jocko and gives guys a chance to reminisce.
Some of us were skinny, but learned discipline
Jocko set that mentality
People like Rob shower honor on us all.
Man... these guys live what Jordan Peterson speaks. Jordan B Peterson and Jocko Podcast are my two favorite UA-cam channels by far.

I'll be so happy when Echo finally responds "Good evening, JOCKO" instead of just "Good evening". Own it, Echo! :-D
Man, what an amazing podcast.
Love. You rob
Great podcast as always! Thanks for this.
Please try to get Wil Willis on. Former Spec ops, who did a motorcycle ride to bring attention to vet mental health. Also the host of Forged In Fire.
I loved that Jocko had no idea what 50 shaded of grey was. 🤣
Great podcast. Can you make an excerpt of the end part explaining Rob's theory that selflessness is more important than discipline? Going at least through jockos example of the single mom working 3 jobs.
I hope one day people realize the only thing they can't do is give up.
robby tucker Thank you! Powerful words.
WSD 2009 no need thank me I didn't do nothing just speak the truth as best I can an i am the one thankful for being able watch such a positive an real podcast. Thank u sir
E N D U R E
This is a great interview. I was very interested in the Maffatone Method that he mentioned. Keep up the good work.
Rob, if I were half the man of you ... Men like you make me proud!
Rob Jones is a real life marathon running Forrest Gump...except Rob Jones is a badass.
The story at 2:11:40 when Jocko ODs on Discipline is freakin hilarious, omg. "Came home. Jacked steel when I got home. Did *SQRRRAUTZ*"
FANTASTIC WORK TEAM! MORE ECHO PERSPECTİVE NEEDED
Thank You
That's an awesome way to close the podcast!
as I sit here, listening to this podcast, I start to wonder to myself: WHAT THE FUCK IS MY EXCUSE!
Loving your Podcast's. Plz make an Uncle Jake about 3 to 4 months after the book comes out
Tobin Bell from Saw was highly discipline. He had a mission.
Anthony Robles is a NCAA champ. Won it with one leg. Arizona State.

back in the day I would do the 5k in 18.5 minutes on an all out max day. And 21min on regular days on a 10 mile run which was my regular run. Then I'd work my boxing routine after or spar with some Tai boxers I'd fight 3 guys 3 rounds 7min rounds. Fucking good old days.
I can not do it yet.
Can't wait to drink some Discipline
What is this workout Jocko is talking about? the 3 sets in an hour, I want to do that!
Yeah Rob!
I love how he determined how many marathons he would run based on someone else's attention span...
GOOD
Great podcast
Love this podcast.
I admit, I didn’t really know anything about the Seal Teams, or “get” all this, until I had a chance to watch the movie G.I. Jane (played by Demi Moore). Whoa, really brought this all together, now I understand what it takes….
Seriously, watching and learning from you guys has been a blast. As you were..
“So this then was the culmination:
To die-
Die in the stinking mud.
Twice before I’d crossed this no-man’s land,
Darting from shell hole to shell hole.
I’m no hero-
I was numb with fear.
But this time a barrage was on.
I lay there at the waste land’s edge-
Thinking.
Was there any way?
To the right lay crack shot snipers,
To the left in the brush,
Machine guns,
Hungry - waiting.
And fair in front great bursting mud clouds
Playing toss
With bodies.
“Get through once more, son,”
The colonel had said.
“Communications down, our guns firing short,
Killing our boys.”
Yes, it must be done, but how?
Wait!
The barrage, sweeping across the field and back,
A deadly windshield wiper -
Were I to follow it down
And when it returned
Dig in - I might -
NOW!
Drunk with fighting fear,
I chased the mud cloud down the field
Kicking dead bodies,
Twisting like a ghost,
And I laughed, and I yelled,
“You bastards! You can’t get me!”
Our trenches ahead,
Almost there!
Back came Hell’s windshield wiper
Vomiting death and I dug in-
Dug in with all I had.
Mom-dear God help me!
On it came. Forty feet-
Twenty feet-
God!
My head-torn from my body!
________________________
Is this what being dead is like,
Peace, quiet, clean white sheets?
My head must still be here,
It hurts me.
These must be my fingers
I can move them.
And now a voice,
“My boy. For you
The war is over.”
You hear that, Mom?
I’m still alive, I did not die.
I’M COMING HOME!”
Good evening
But I'm on the injury list now awaiting some serious surgeries. Hey we often pay the price for😤 hard training. Paying the devil for vanity.😉😈
