Jocko Underground Podcast #187, co-hosted by Jocko and Echo Charles, addresses listener questions. The first question comes from a 26-year-old pitching coach who, despite significant personal adversity and a recent job loss, asks how to pick oneself up without a support system. Jocko advises focusing on small, controllable improvements, drawing parallels to battlefield tactics and everyday tasks like making one's bed, emphasizing personal agency and self-reliance as the ultimate support system. The second question asks why no women have completed Navy SEAL training (BUDS). Jocko expresses uncertainty about the specific fitness standards the questioner is referencing, noting the difficulty of meeting the comprehensive physical demands of BUDS, which require a rare combination of strength and endurance across various exercises. The hosts then transition to promoting the Jocko Underground subscription service, highlighting its role in reducing reliance on external platforms and sponsors while supporting the free Jocko Podcast.
