0:00.0	This is Jocco podcast number 55 with Echo Charles and me, Jocco Willink. Good evening, Echo. Good evening.
0:10.2	Well, our last podcast, which I guess is no surprise at this point, went a little long.
0:19.8	Did not have room for Q&A, so because of that, we have, we will dedicate podcast number 55 today to Q&A.
0:33.2	Questions from the interwebs, thanks to everyone that has submitted questions through the interwebs,
0:40.4	so that we can attempt to answer some of them. And with that, Echo Charles. Yes.
0:48.3	Questions from the interwebs. What do you got? Well, first question is, how important is purpose,
0:57.4	reason, or cause in being successful? Like the purpose, your purpose. Right. Well, clearly,
1:07.7	purpose and reason and cause are extremely important. This is, this is the why of your actions.
1:16.4	This is knowing why you're doing what you're doing. This is the commander's intent. And so you,
1:21.9	you absolutely, absolutely, these are important. If you don't know why you're doing something,

1:45.2	know why you're doing it. So if you have no reason, if you have no reason for doing something,
1:49.2	you're not going to do it. So you got to have a long term goal. We got to understand the underlying
1:56.0	purpose of what you're doing. Now this doesn't necessarily mean that it, mean that it has to be
2:03.5	rigid, because it doesn't have to be rigid. You know, I'll tell you an interesting case as an
2:09.5	example. I'll give you is my own case, right? So of course, you know, I'm all about planning and
2:16.7	always having a long term plan and all that stuff. But to be honest with you, the situation that I'm
2:21.8	in right now is a human. I didn't have a long term plan for this. You know, the, the,
2:28.4	the, I, you know, late when I wrote the book, I had no intention of writing a book. That kind of
