This goes back to my short time as a car salesman I remember my finance manager telling me a piece of advice which was “if you are talking more than your customer you are on the wrong side of the deal”

I like how Jocko talks 98% of the time in this video. Haha

Listening to this 10 minute clip was time well spent. “The more you listen, the more you see.” I’m leaving here with that. -Much respect to you both. Thank you.

the quieter you become, the more you are able to hear

People LOVE talking about themselves, things they enjoy, and things they believe in. Giving them an opportunity to do so, while genuinely listening and reaching for understanding is how to earn their trust and confidence in you.

I love this!! It spoke to my spirit!! Let's get it done!!!

This is what my dad taught me as a young age as I noticed he didn’t make much eye contact. I asked him, why don’t you really look at people in the eyes? “Because you don’t need eyes to listen son”. This had stayed with me my entire life which has allowed me to always be listening to my surroundings and pondering what others really tell me when speaking to me.

The best dates I've had with girls, the best times I've had with friends, the best conversations I've had are the ones where I shut my mouth and let them talk. You wanna boost your social skills by 1000%? Just ask questions and listen.

New listener. Thank You for the podcast.

Best advice right there

Jocko, you, Sean Ryan, & Tim Kennedy have changed my life by listening to your wisdom. Thank all of you. And you too, Echo.

“The more you listen, the more you see.” 🤯

Appreciate all the wisdom you give to young guys.

Give her a hug.

thank you for correcting me ..

I always think of it this way: why would i disrespect myself by not giving close attention to whomever is influencing my life by their presence in it.

00:58 🗣 Effective communication involves active listening, not just talking. 02:20 🧠 Listening allows for better understanding and absorption of information. 03:47 👂 Listening applies to various scenarios, including dealing with children and resolving conflicts with peers or superiors. 07:57 🤐 Talking excessively in a conversation may give a false impression of a successful interaction, while the other person may feel unheard and frustrated. 08:39 🤝 Showing empathy involves understanding and validating someone's feelings, especially in difficult situations. It requires genuine listening and providing support without imposing one's own perspective.

This is the popular advice, the problem is I am the quiet one. In group situations it is less noticeable but in 1 on 1 situations it becomes really awkward when im just listening and asking questions. I get the feeling that I'm some kind of spy or interrogator or that I'm phishing information

Personally, as a person, who's often described to be a good listener and teaches other persons the skill of listening... I have a hard time with people who just listen and are empathic... and that's it. If I want that, I go to a therapist or person centered counselor, not to a party. Yes, I want to be seen, for sure, but I also want to see. So for me, the best conversations are about 50/50.

good advice.

Jocko’s voice just makes ya want to listen 💚

A good rule I learned was to talk only half as much as you just listen. That’s a good conversation if not you should find someone else to talk to. My best friend and I could pick up a conversation after months without missing a beat.

awesome facts

I laughed so much when Jocko said "that study was conducted by the University of bro science" 🤣🤣

Two people engaging each other. Each uses this technique. Shortest conversation ever.

I'm sick of this conversation. Jocko never let's me get a word in😂

W conversation!

Remember that listening isn't just nodding your head and saying, "Yeah...ok...uh huh..." every once in a while. A real listener will pick out something they heard the person say that they found interesting and ask them a specific question about it or add something into the conversation about that thing. Good conversation has give and take, and both parties should leave with some piece of new knowledge they didn't have before they started talking.

Agreed.

Echo Charles with the insane cameras

As a introvert who doesn't have much to say ( but still has a UKposts Channel 😅 ) i see this as a absolute win

It’s funny because this how conversations between jocko and echo be.

Also, hearing isn't the same as listening. Listening is active. Hearing is passive.

Cool - I’m doing the most important part of this podcast. 💪

tactical talking!

I swear I hear these podcasts and think "I'm sorry, Jocko, I need to do better"

Listening to you kid I feel is just as important even a 5 year old

"Might"

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Tell him… swatting a gnat was a metaphor. Not a euphemism. Spilling the beer on his friend was a euphemism.

I was just calling clients Bru.

Tell her she needs to calm down 🤣................thanks

Broscience University. 😂

98% of the people i listen to just talk 98% of the time. I see a world full of zombies, that can talk.

I once knew a car salesman...shi..gottcha

It can help, talking towards others when on one's own. Argue things out, better than nothing. Hearing one's own voice, can be a self-therapy - help with things. When overwhelmed by a mob, it can help a person survive through impossible odds. Watch out about people listening, who should be minding their own business. (Work things out with your family too this way, hopefully 🤞)

I am going to keep talking. Don’t care😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dale Carnegie 101.

Mr. Willink could you make a poster with you in Iraq Ramadi? Please. I look up to you sir and I think it would make my room that much more cooler looking. BAUTISTAZURITA out.

How many pushups can Jocko do? All of them.

Which episode is this from?

I literally feel like I’m being water boarded anytime I encounter somebody who won’t stop talking.😭🥺😤 in my experience, it seems like around 80 to 90% of all people I encounter literally cannot shut up. It’s pathological and should be illegal. And most people are pathological interrupters too. My biggest pet peeve. 💀🤬🤬

I am a landscape designer. What do you do with a client that you have listened, and listened to, and you still can't wrap your head around what they actually want from you?

She needs to do jiu jitsu

WHAT IF I LISTEN BUT DONT NOW WHAT TO DO IN RESPONCE?

Jocko is an Avenger..

A Fool takes no pleasure in understanding. But only in expressing his opinion fools have no interest in understanding. They only want to air their own opinions. Fools can have nothing for thoughtful discourse. All they do is run off. The mouth

Two ears, one mouth.

When people have taken wrong actions and they recognize that they screwed up or were given bad Intelligence by bad actors... It is not unreasonable and unrealistic that they would recognize mistakes and correct the situation with same vigor, efforts and resources... which typically are not even fully required to facilitate reversing the damage were possible and facilitating a better future environment and outcomes. Bailing out the not sunken ship saves more than just that one ship and crew... It creates a future with more ships... ... rather than more expenses and less ships and greater doubts regarding the way the ships have been handled. Loose lips sinks ships... but false intelligence loses fleets. So truths sometimes have to come out.

But what if both people learned this and both just want to listen? What do you do then?

2 ears, 1 mouth, its for a reason

Boy, does Echo sport a pair of guns...

Customer won’t talk to you? Good.

Cassie, this is my most favorite item you have ever unboxed. It’s beautiful and it actually is very handy to have a bag with your lip stuff and something for fresh breath on your special day. I had a bag 19 years ago for my wedding and my bridesmaids kept it for me when I wasn’t holding it. If a photo is snapped of you holding it the bag will look beautiful!!!! Also, $3,000 is very reasonable IMO. The craftsmanship is impeccable.

Very aware of all the BS

i failed at negotiation. FAILED. I'm a farmer, we plain speak, then we decide waht we need to do with the other guy. After divorce in family court, i LEARNED.. I read Jim Camp's "Start With NO" adn it taught me so much Then i learned about Chris Voss...and i learned. Now i talk a lot, brings their anxiety down. HOWEVER, what i am TALKING about has no value Bit of a snow job, but are they human anyway? Unsure. Act Accoringly.

This would've been useful about 9 months ago :(

Wife is in a bad mood? Hear but don’t listen. It’s the SOS

Please use a pop filter.

Jocko and Echo, I know what you put on UKposts is not the whole podcast, but you didn't discussed the difference between monologue and dialogue. You probably know what each word mean and how frustrating when you've got these monologue human being in front of you not able to shut the fuck up. Duck tape is so useful sometimes ;)! You have a nice day!

This just seems like placation. I gotta listen to your objectively bad ideas just so you feel heard? Ok dude.

Do you have a video talking about Gaza ? Or link M?

WACKO

Echo Charles can have better conversations by not saying "or whatever" every 3rd sentence. Annoying af to listen to bro. Everything else is on point
