0:00.0	This is Jocco Podcast number 75 with echo Charles and me, Jocco Willink.
0:08.0	Good evening, echo.
0:09.0	Good evening.
0:13.0	We have shared the incommunicable experience of war.
0:20.0	We have felt, we still feel the passion of life to its top.
0:25.0	In our youth, our hearts were touched by fire.
0:37.0	That's a quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Supreme Court judge.
0:45.0	Lots of people know that, but they may not know.
0:48.0	Civil War soldier served with the 20th regimen of Massachusetts, a volunteer infantry,
0:58.0	saw action all over the place, peninsula campaign, the wilderness.
1:05.0	He was wounded at the Battle of Balls Bluff, also wounded and antedim, and also wounded at the Battle of Chancellorville.
1:14.0	So I think it's safe to say that he knew and understood war.
1:20.0	And that quote right there is from the beginning of another book about another man that knew war.
1:32.0	Major Dick Winners.

1:47.0	Life lessons from the commander of the band of brothers.
1:52.0	And it's written by a guy named Colonel Cole C. King Seed, who was a friend Dick Winners, and who actually was the co-author behind that book Beyond Band of Brothers.
2:06.0	So what's cool about this book is it really parses out some lessons about leadership in a conversational manner with Dick Winners, the things that he thought, and the lessons that he learned, which, I mean when you get an opportunity to learn from someone like this, you know what I do? I just be quiet. I listen and I learn.
2:28.0	In this case, I read and I learn.
2:30.0	So this is also the guy, if you haven't seen this series on HBO, Band of Brothers, just go stop and just go watch it.
2:42.0	It's, I don't know what it is, like 12 episodes. They're all awesome. Every ask me all the time what's realistic war movies. That one, Band of Brothers. And then the Pacific, both HBO series, they're both phenomenal. And I recommend you watch it. You learn a lot about this book.
