    I read this book once in early high school of my own volition, And help me change my perspective a lot. Looking back on your reading this, it brings a sense of joy and meaning that Booker T. Washington helped me understand the world much better as a young man - now closer to his 30s. I will ensure my kids read this book along with other powerful/meaningful real-life stories. Thank you, Booker T. Washington and Jocko!

    A thought was sparked from over 30 years ago of a paper I wrote based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail." I specifically recall the articulation and civility of the letter's content when many of us would use an expletive every other word if we experienced similar treatment. Dr. King likely realized for his words and expression to have credibility, calm was necessary. Jocko reminds me of my high school wrestling coach who wore a Timex Ironman, intimidating just by breathing and retired as a Colonel in the Army. Rarely do I watch or listen to a video longer than 8 minutes but this podcast and evaluation of Mr. Washington's book really hit home. Thank you Mr. Willink and Mr. EchoCharles for instilling many life lessons..

    This inspired me to study the life of Gen. Armstrong. His parents were missionaries to Hawaii. Gen. Armstrong was a true believer in Christ. Booker is quoted as saying Gen. Armstrong was the most Christ-like man he ever knew. The influences of others that God sovereignly puts in your life, have the potential to shape you to become someone great and a tremendous blessing to others. I also liked the references Booker made to the importance of reading Scripture daily.

  • @mkheliotropeinc
    @mkheliotropeinc Před rokem +2

    I'm almost half in and I noticed one thing you talked all around but never directly to. When noting that several teachers invested in Mr Washington, you didn't point out that he showed his willingness to put in the work FIRST. That is such an important distinction in a time when so many people, especially younger ones who think they 'deserve' something. Mr Washington put in the work first and did his best EVERY time. That earned him the respect of those teachers who in turn invested into him things he wanted. I've seen so many people in the work place say things like "they need to pay me more, then I'll work harder or do extra ". That is not how it works and shouldn't be. Work hard first and prove you deserve that raise.
    This is such a great story and a shame it is not taught more broadly.

    Cool podcast and solid lessons but I do feel like Jocko and Echo are missing the mark a little bit when talking about how the slaves had "integrity" or "principle" for not crossing their masters even after the emancipation.
    They did that because of the level of indoctrination they'd been subjected to. They weren't even 10% aware of the reality of the situation and the dynamic that had been created between them and whites. They didn't even realize that whatever sympathy they had towards their captors was due to centuries of physical psychological and emotional beatdown, as opposed to genuine empathy (which is undeserved).
    Let's be real, if anyone today had to endure a tenth of that we'd deal with our oppressor in a very different way (and rightfully so).
