What does it really mean to live with discipline, and how does it create true freedom?
Jon and Will sit down with retired Navy SEAL and leadership expert Jocko Willink to explore how discipline, ownership, and presence shape a fulfilling life. Jocko shares why taking action beats waiting, how to manage emotions under pressure, and the link between structured habits and personal freedom. They dive into the evolving landscape of masculinity, the role of sports in building confidence, and how to foster emotional intelligence in boys and young men. From leading teams to raising children, Jocko offers grounded insights on building trust, staying focused, and leading by example - whether on the battlefield or at home.
