This is the podcast, formerly known as The Thread with Darrell Cooper and me,

Jocco Willink, and we are re-releasing these, this original series or the original

episodes in this podcast. I guess it's more than a series because we're going to keep doing it.

But we had to rename it. It turned out that there was already a podcast called The Thread,

which I didn't check or Google or look, didn't know it was a thing, and the people,

well, there's another podcast. And so they came out us with season-to-sist letters and legal action

and all that stuff, which is fine because they own the name. So we needed a new name. We bounced

around a bunch of ideas and landed on the Jocco Unraveling podcast. Why did we pick that name?

One is, why did you pick Jocco? Well, it's real easy. I own that name. No one can trump us or

and assume me for using my own name. So we are protected there and unraveling because the intent

is still the same as the original idea behind The Thread podcast. What we're going to do is unravel

what is happening in the world today and get to some of the root causes. And maybe even if we don't

get to root causes, we at least get a better understanding of the world by unraveling what we see.

And it's also not only because we're unraveling things and looking at them in a more granular level.

There's also obviously another meaning to the word unraveling. I mean, things coming apart.

And well, the world then specifically humanity in many ways like human life, life. They're similar.

Humanity and human life are similar in that they can both be incredibly durable and adaptive and

resilient. But they can both also be unbelievably fragile. And you can have one man be shot 20 times

and survive and walk away. And someone else can catch a random piece of a ricocheted bullet,

a tiny piece of a ricocheted bullet and die. And society and humanity can be kind of like that.

Sometimes it can survive all kinds of turmoil and chaos. And then in one instant,

one event can change it forever. Or can at least dramatically alter its course.
