Semi rapid-fire Q and A with Jocko Willink. I am sure many will want to know if we discussed the recent bombings in Afghanistan, and we did not, as we were recording this episode as that news was being released and did not hear about it until after. We did discuss Afghanistan as a "whole," the strategies we would like to see moving forward, how we arrived where we are, etc. Of course, we talked about leadership, some jiu-jitsu, discipline and schedules, subordinates, excuses, which of the Jocko memes are his favorite, and the pressure he feels as an #influencer.

William Czopek is a Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency, currently serving as Public Information Officer stationed in Arizona. Formally established in 1973, the Drug Enforcement Agency is a relative newcomer to the list of federal law enforcement organizations, however, its roots trace back to the 1914 Harrison Narcotics Act. The biggest narcotics seizure in 1917 was 5.5 lbs. of opium. A recent pair of seizures confiscated sufficient methamphetamines to give a dose to every man, woman, and child in both the U.S. and Mexico. Because the drug trade is an international problem, the DEA does not just operate domestically but has agents working all across the world. Over 72,000 Americans died from overdoses in 2019 and this year is on track to be worse with a 150 – 200% jump. The trail of bodies is not limited to overdose victims, The Mexican government estimates nearly 62,000 persons have "vanished" since 2006. https://www.drinkLMNT.com/clearedhot https://www.Mudwtr.com/clearedhot https://www.babbel.com https://www.magicspoon.com/clearedhot
