Key Insights from Jocko Willink

Combat Leadership Context

When we deployed to Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006, the city was one of the most dangerous on Earth. Every street and rooftop could conceal an enemy.

Physical Discipline: Building the Machine

Your body is your engine. Discipline starts with how you treat it. Every morning I wake up before the sun because that’s when excuses are weakest. The first battle is against comfort—warm bed, soft pillow, darkness whispering you could sleep a bit longer. But when you rise early and move, that immed...
