Creating An Unbreakable Mindset - Jocko Willink - #502

Jocko Willink is a retired United States Navy officer in SEAL Team 3, an author and a podcaster.

Expect to learn what Jocko thinks about the Detroit self-defence guy, why discipline always beats motivation, the similarities between elite special forces and elite BJJ athletes, Jocko's opinion on Jordan Peterson, how to get over an ex, whether he regrets being famous after working in the shadows for so long, how he used a Jim Carrey impression to chat up his wife, whether he wants to try psychedelics and much more...
