I don’t care in what capacity you’re showing up in life – you are a leader. And, whether you realize it or not, you are having an influence on those around you. Whether you’re trying to secure a job promotion, lead your team and co-workers to success, manage a home, or get their kids to do their chores, your ability to learn and implement the strategies Jocko and I share today are critical.
Jocko Willink (a man who needs no introduction) and I sit down face to face to discuss what it means to be a leader, considerations when raising kids right, striking the balance between opposing leadership methods (dichotomies), and very specific leadership strategies and tactics. And, if all that isn’t enough, we talk a little bit about archery and beards.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
JOCKO WILLINK
My guest today is a man who has now been on the podcast on four separate occasions and someone who does not, for most of you listening, need an introduction. His name is Jocko Willink and he served as the Navy SEAL Commander for the most highly-decorated special forces unit of the Iraq war.
And, since leaving the military has gone on to lead on of the most recognizable and effective leadership companies in the world with his brother-in-arms, Leif Babin, Echelon Front.
On top of all of that, he’s written 8 books with his most recent being Leadership Strategy and tactics Field Manual (which we’ll be discussing today). His other books include Extreme Ownership, Dichotomy of Leadership, and the Way of the Warrior Kid series, among others.
I’m honored to call this man a friend and am proud to be able to share our conversation with you today.
IRON COUNCIL
Obviously, we’ve been talking all about leadership today on the podcast. I want to offer you an additional resource if you’re looking to up your leadership effectiveness.
It’s called the Iron Council and it’s a brotherhood of men working together to achieve maximum results in our lives. And, a lot of what we discuss is centered around the third pillar of masculinity, Preside, which is synonymous with leadership.
Most of the institutions that have served men and offered a place for them to band together have been on the decline and while all of that is going away, the Order of Man and the Iron Council is rising up instead. We’re dedicated to giving you the tools, resources, brotherhood, camaraderie, and accountability to step fully into that man you have a desire to become.

0:23.0 | Jaco willink, a man who needs no introduction, and I sit down face to face to discuss what it means to be a leader, considerations when raising kids right, striking the balance between opposing leadership methods, |
0:36.0 | Jaco would call that dichotomies, and very specific leadership strategies and tactics. |
0:41.0 | And if all of that isn't enough, we also talk a little bit about his new hobby archery and of course Beards. |
0:46.0 | You're a man of action, you live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time. |
0:56.0 | You are not easily deterred and defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life, this is who you are, this is who you will become. |
1:06.0 | At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man. |
1:11.0 | Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Nicler, and I am the host and the founder of this podcast, and the movement that is Order of Man. I want to welcome you. |
1:20.0 | Regardless of how long you've been listening, this is a conversation and a movement to reclaim and restore masculinity. It's my job to reestablish what it means to be a man, and then reestablish the institutions and the environments that we need to more fully step up in the walls of our homes, |
1:39.0 | and our businesses and communities, and every other facet of life that you're showing up as. Specifically within this podcast, we have interviews with some of the most successful and amazing men. These are entrepreneurs, New York Times, bestselling authors, scholars, athletes, warriors, any man who has a successful story and interesting and unique perspective into how he's been successful. |
2:00.0 | It's my job to bring those guests to you. And of course, I've got a great one lined up for you today, a four-peat repeat guest on the podcast, Mr. Jocke Willink, who I will talk about here in a second. |
2:11.0 | Before we get into that, because I do want to jump into it fairly quickly, I want to make mention of our show sponsors, and of course, my friends got to spend a lot of time with them last week at Origins Immersion Camp, which is a week long Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu camp. |
2:26.0 | I don't think they have the dates for next year, but I'm telling you, and I will let you know when those are. You're going to want to register for that very, very quickly, because I just had an amazing time and compounded a lot of Jiu-Jitsu learning and strategy and tactics from not only Jockeau, but other experts there as well. Pete Roberts, Alexei Dedeco, a lot of these guys were here to help and give us some support, guidance and instruction. But outside of what they're doing with Jiu-Jitsu, it's raining outside right now. It's getting a little cold here in Maine. |
2:55.0 | At least it is for me, not for a main or necessarily. And I've got my denim on today, and I've got my boots on. I was excited to bust these things out because they're both made by Origin. |
3:06.0 | Origin has a brand new denim line. They are some of the most comfortable, sturdy as pair of jeans that you will ever own. And in addition to that, I've got my boots that I made several weeks ago. I actually got to sit down and make them in the factory itself. |
3:21.0 | So if you're interested in some new denim, American made denim, all right here, made and manufactured in Maine. And then also their boot lineup, which should be available very, very soon, head to originmain.com. |
3:33.0 | Again, that's originmain as in the state main.com and use the code order or DER at checkout. And you'll get your discount there. |
3:42.0 | All right, guys, enough of that. Let's get to Jocco, Willink. This is, again, a man I've had on four separate occasions on this podcast. And someone for most of you listening doesn't really need an introduction. |
3:53.0 | I actually talked to someone the other day who did not know who Jocco was. And quite honestly, I was a little surprised. He served as the Navy SEAL commander for the most highly decorated special forces unit of the Iraq War. |
