In This Episode You Will Hear:

• [Growing up] we had Emus at one time for some reason. (7:46)

• I read that book, and something inside me was alive, like “This is what I wanna do” Everything I did after that was asking myself that question:  Is this next move gonna help me get into the Navy? and if it’s not, then I didn’t do it. (17:25)

• [Marcus] I feel like our saving grace is the fact that we did it for God and country. If you’re a wild child and you wanna have the most fun of your entire life, go into the SEAL teams. (19:36)

• Given a boat crew, If you don’t perform - if you screw up, your boat crew get beats for you. Sorry – remediated – gets remediated for you. (24:51)

• The less you think about yourself, especially when you’re miserable, the better off you are. (25:18)

• [Marcus] If you want to teach your son or yourself to be a great barterer or negotiator, go over there [Afghanistan]. (41:24)

• Gift giving is a big thing to them [Afghans]. (41:54)

• Getting to be on the other side of the BUDS equation was a great experience, because you get to see all the workings that go into it - all the things you don’t see and appreciate as a student obviously because you’re just trying to survive. (44:21)

• I don’t have a good poker face. (45:33)

• No one puts a premium on training like the SEAL teams do. It’s everything for us. (54:26)

• I closed out my career at the training command which was just the best place you could possibly be. (55:21)

• Our goal there [Echelon Front] is to arm their leaders with the tools they need to be better leaders. (65:42)

• Jocko started Primal Beef, and our goal was to bring the same farm-raised all natural, Black Angus American beef that we had the opportunity to eat every night to as many Americans as we possibly could. (70:03)

• Our whole goal was basically to make things the best experience you could possibly have ordering beef from somebody. (74:49)

• Well above 80% of all beef produced in America comes from 4 different massive companies, and at least one of them is a foreign owned company. (77:55)

• The average age of a farmer right now is 63 years old, because families just aren’t taking over the family business. (78:06)
