Since he isn’t in the navy anymore, this man deserves the Medal of Heroism. If he was a Seal I wouldn’t be surprised he gets the Medal of Honor, this man deserves it. God bless him
He is an asset to all of humanity dude, just like David and all the people that help with FBR..... and all people around the world who do things like this with the same heart and nobody knows their name or story.
Incredible heroism is on full display in the footage of Mr. Mattos being shot in the leg and nearly ran over by a tank as he was providing cover during the rescue of a young Iraqi girl. God bless you Mr. Mattos for your bravery and selflessness.
I believe the point in broadening your vision is referencing your ability to literally change the focus of your eyeballs such that your eyes aren’t fixated on a single point, but you’ve essentially changed your vision to a more peripheral focus. This produces a relaxed feeling in the mind, the animal brain that is in “survival mode” when the eyeballs are focused has a chance to relax and you can enter a deeper state of meditative thought. Thanks for the great interview.
9:29 Oh my goodness. We went to the same church and school and everything. I don’t know Ephraim personally but I knew about him, the guy that joined the Navy Seals. And I met his brother Zeb at the time. Zeb was doing a lot of Christian missionary work for a while with an organization traveling to different countries. My mind is so blown right now I almost feel like I’m not sure if I should say anything hahaha.
Just to clarify he was much older I was a teenager at the time. I’m in my mid twenties now. So I didn’t know him like peer wise more like knew about them as one of the adults when I was like in highschool there.
@@dravenocklost4253 to be honest I don’t but I was like a half generation behind him so when I was entering high school he might have already been getting ready for buds and they I didn’t learn about him till later. I had my own drama with the church though but I have the same feelings about it where I’m glad i had it there in my life and I even miss it.
@@Sanfu69very cool. Jesus loves you all the same brother. He will lead you to a good church. At the end of the day we are the church but tending "church" is an important and beneficial aspect that gid calls us to mot forsake but it's all about knowing Him and having a real relationship with God and walking in righteousness obviously. Can't have wilful sin and not try to deal eirh it and expect God to let us in. Hebrews 10:26. Not saying that's you but just in case thought I'd share it lol. God bless you brother 🙏 😊
"I finally got to go to public school (for one year) and it was a really positive experience." Presumably because a small dose of poison is a benefit from an immune response perspective . . .
I'm donating.this dude is awesome When Ukraine got attacked by Russia I felt a strong urge to train up and fight with the Ukraine, but I have family and I'm a wuss. Then you got guys like Matos and Tim Kennedy out there saving the world, I better support these guys somehow.
Even if you didn’t have a family that would be an incredibly foolish thing to do. Get yourself killed in the hopes of some glory and joining some cause. It’s a waste of life by all.
@@jamalydude What's also a waste is standing by and doing nothing as the atrocity slowly heads your way. Then by the time it gets to you, it's too late. That's was almost what happened in WWII. How quick we forget
@@JohnDoe-zz7on but that’s what you’re doing. Standing by. You’re just talking. If you are mr gungho and truly feel that Ukraine war is worth losing everything over you can go any time. They will be glad to have you. But it isn’t worth it to you. As you’re standing by still at home. So the talk is unnecessary. As you say it’s “slowly heading your way” and you’re standing there. So you’re the same as me. It isn’t worth it. That war is a waste of lives on both sides.
@@jamalydude I had that time and place to serve my country and I did just that. At that time it was Bosnia and when I was in highschool and reading about Bosnia, I did believe it was a waste of life and a lot of people were getting killed and someone or somebody should do something about it and other atrocities around the world or what was a threat to freedom. So i did that, done that, got the T shirt. But now, I still feel bad about what's happened in Ukraine, but now I have family with kids. So maybe I have to sit out and hope others step up But I'm not going to pretend it's not my problem and nobody should wasting their time trying to help. You would naive to think that you live in a vacuum in good ole USA. That's easy to say it's not problem, so I don't have to even think about it So enjoy your freedom and don't worry your head off, but remember freedom is not free and it comes with a heavy cost.
Amen I started ages ago too. When I first started listening to this I just HAD to it is one of the best organisations on the earth without a doubt and probably the only one like it. I just came back now to finally finish listening to the rest of it.
sad thing is a lot of them do mate, can't imagine what it does to your mind, even if you come out of it as functional and well adjusted as these guys it must be so difficult
If you listen closely to the whole thing you'll find the answer. God has a lot to do with it. But mainly it was revealed when he said "I decided to let go of the hate". That is another huge factor. Hate and unforgiveness which becomes bitterness will destroy you from the inside out and make one completely unhinged. The quicker you drop that hot potato, the better off you'll be.
Untill you listen to all the details of how Isis massacred entire villages of their own innocent people, babies, elderly, disabled, parents and their children with them, raped and murdered people. If you have a chub after that, then seek Jesus immediately coz you need deliverance.
Jesus loves you both. Walk in grace and not the law and have a real relationship with Jesus and be humble and teachable and correctable and you can't go wrong. Love God with all your heart and mind and strength and soul. He doesn't care what denomination you subscribe to if you're doing these then anything not from Him will be sorted out BY Him. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. 11 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another? James 4:5-12

Man, UA-cam is really trying to suppress this episode... 66k views in 2+ months?! I had to manually search for it, and even knowing what to search for it was still like 6 results down. It might be the only JP numbered episode that wasn't recommended to me the day/week it released. I'm getting so sick of this platform, especially when they're seemingly putting the thumb on the scale of such an amazing story that needs air
I absolutely Respect Jocko an these Men on here. Can anyone explain why This Man could not listen to Drumbeats? That's something I don't quite understand.
I've heard of the drumbeat ban but don't know exactly why. I believe his religious upbringing was one of the more obscure sects. I grew up a Southern Baptist. We weren't allowed to have dances in high-school, but my parents were avid square dancers, so that was weird.
His fatty food thing is wheat. If I drop all wheat I will drop 30lbs in a month and a half. Plus drinking calories of any form leads to obesity. Black coffee and water for me.
Hey Jocko what up buddy boy. I led the very first 12 tunnel rats in the nom. This was way before you and I with the seals.Did you know that when we all came back to the states 4 of the first tunnel rats played football together with others on the san diego chargers. Hank bauer ed white are 2 of the four. that why all the hank bauer posters were of him no shirt with bullet belts over shoulder across his chest. It was a nom thing. they were pulled from a prison sentence with amnesty if they lived to make it back alive of which 2 did not ,but they were off death row anyway . they thought they were bad ass enough to clean out a tunnel by their selves , so they had their chance to prove so and they failed and died then the rest of us went in cleaned the tunnel and brought their 2 bodys out and sent them back in body bags. Our whole mission was to kill and destroy take no prisoners. hoooraaaa
So now mattos is and has been there like you and i even though I have seen much more than you and him. instead of hatred just send them to the supreme creator and let him figure them out. next mission same same and so on.

HA HA HA HA to them.
This episode reminds me of the early jocko podcasts.
"In order to love the light, you must know the darkness."
Since he isn’t in the navy anymore, this man deserves the Medal of Heroism. If he was a Seal I wouldn’t be surprised he gets the Medal of Honor, this man deserves it. God bless him
Absolutely, amen!
I first heard about Ephraim Mattos from the video MrBallen made. It’s awesome Jocko brought him on the podcast! Man has an awesome story
So did I. I can't wait to watch this one
Same here bro
@@miles2057he needs to remain silent
So glad you had Ephraim on the podcast. Read this book three years ago and just re-read it before listening. SO GOOD!
This guy has one of the most remarkable amazing experiences and is doing great things for people his story must get out to more
Thx for Highlighting this hero Jocko.. I've been following and a supporter of Stronghold for a few years. This guy is a national treasure.
He is an asset to all of humanity dude, just like David and all the people that help with FBR..... and all people around the world who do things like this with the same heart and nobody knows their name or story.
Saw the video of him getting shot. Dude stands right up and keeps moving. What a boss. That city is demolished too. What a stud
The 2 little girls who almost got shot. How gut wrenching. I have a daughter and this brought chills down my spine.
Listen to the whole podcast if you haven't yet. It gets so much wilder. And horrific 😔 but the revelations in those moments are profound.
Jocko: "No drumbeats?"
Ephraim: "True story."
💯😂💯
Incredible heroism is on full display in the footage of Mr. Mattos being shot in the leg and nearly ran over by a tank as he was providing cover during the rescue of a young Iraqi girl. God bless you Mr. Mattos for your bravery and selflessness.
This is gonna be a DAMN GOOD SHOW! Damn good show!
Goosebumps at about 2:14 mark. These guys are legend!!!!
This guy is a hero!!!!!!
He’s one of the best among us.
Haven't listened to a bad Jocko podcast yet, but this one is gold.
Heroes... God bless you all.

It'll awesome to see Shwan Rayan on the show. Very awesome combination 😅
FBR is a great org. Great interview.
What an amazing story!
This was my favorite interview. I can’t imagine going through buds with gastrointestinal problems
My night shift just got awesome 😎
What a baddass.
Great episode and worth the five year wait.
He wasn’t ready until now to tell that story.
I worked 3rd shift at McDonald’s.
Jocko: get some!
I smiled ear to ear chuckling!
Show up 2 hrs before your shift starts and do push ups until your shift starts!!
RUN FOR PRESIDENT JACKO!

sad thing is a lot of them do mate, can't imagine what it does to your mind, even if you come out of it as functional and well adjusted as these guys it must be so difficult
Choosing to go into these events changes the trauma impact stored in the mind and body, studies have shown this

I wonder if any politicians watch this?
They should.
Maybe some lesser known poly otherwise probably not
Interesting that Ephraim found some religious views to be nonsensical, but he remained a believer.
I would say opposite we need more navy seals less pastors lol 🇺🇸
Wrong. So wrong. Prayer is more powerful than the sword but we still need both. We need more pastoral seals!
This dude loves his voice.
You are warped. You are projecting your own bs onto a real life hero. Tf is wrong with you.

No air cars brown
I miss the podcasts with the old timers like Dick Thompson. The problem with interviews with navy seals is you have no idea if they're telling the truth or not.
