Get a Glimpse Inside the Life of Former Navy SEAL and Popular Podcast Host Jocko Willink in the April Issue of SUCCESS
Willink doesn't just preach personal development, he lives it through 4 a.m. wakeup calls, jiu-jitsu, weight lifting and unparalleled business drive.
DALLAS, March 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- At 5-feet-11-inches tall and 235 pounds of pure muscle, Jocko Willink is intimidating. A former Navy SEAL, his path to personal-development stardom began after he launched a leadership consulting firm, Echelon Front, with his platoon commander. Upon retiring from the Navy in 2010, he expected to spend most of his time surfing and doing jiu-jitsu. But after a friend asked Willink to give a leadership talk to his management team, he discovered he had quite a knack for motivating others.
Since then, the San Diego resident has skyrocketed to success. Willink hosts a popular podcast, co-owns a mixed martial arts studio, has written one book (and has another on the way), produces his own brand of pomegranate white tea and holds an annual leadership seminar.
He's also known for his tough love and incredible discipline, which includes a 4:34 a.m. wakeup call each day. His motto? Discipline equals freedom.
"When you lack humility, you can't listen to anybody else. Not only that, when you lack humility, you don't respect your enemy or your competitor. And when you don't respect you enemy, you stop training hard… The worst thing about a lack of humility is that if you lack humility, you can't even do a solid, honest assessment of yourself. So you're not going to improve."
