Jocko Willink (@jockowillink) is one of the scariest human
beings imaginable. He is a lean 230 pounds. He is a Brazilian
jiu-jitsu expert who used to tap out 20 Navy SEALs per workout.
He is a legend in the Special Operations world. His eyes look
through you more than at you. He rarely does interviews, if ever.
But a few weeks ago, Jocko ended up staying at my house and we
had a caffeinated mind meld. Here's some background... Jocko
enlisted in the Navy after high school and spent 20 years in the
SEAL Teams, first as an enlisted SEAL operator and then as a SEAL
officer. During his second tour in Iraq, he led SEAL Task Unit
Bruiser in the Battle of Ramadi--some of the toughest and
sustained combat in the SEAL Teams since Vietnam. Under his
leadership, Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated
Special Operations Unit of the entire war in Iraq and helped
bring stability to Ramadi. Jocko was awarded the Bronze Star and
a Silver Star. Upon returning to the United States, Jocko served
as the Officer-in-Charge of training for all West Coast SEAL
Teams, designing and implementing some of the most challenging
and realistic combat training in the world. So why is Jocko
opening up? Well, in part, we have mutual friends. Second, he is
the co-author of an incredible new book — Extreme Ownership: How
U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win -- which I've been loving. Trust me.
Buy it. This is his first mainstream interview and one you won't
want to miss. Show notes and links for this episode can be found
at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to
you by Wealthfront. Wealthfront is a massively
disruptive (in a good way)
set-it-and-forget-it investing service, led by
technologists from places like Apple and world-famous investors.
It has exploded in popularity in the last 2 years, and now has
more than $2.5B under management. In fact, some of my
good investor friends in Silicon Valley
have millions of their own
money in Wealthfront. Why? Because you can get services
previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on
the dollar for them, and it’s all through smarter software
instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams Check out
wealthfront.com/tim, take their risk assessment quiz,
which only takes 2-5 minutes, and they’ll show you—for
free–exactly the portfolio they’d put you in.
If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you
can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well
worth a few minutes: wealthfront.com/tim. Mandatory
