This is Joco Podcast number five fifty seven with Echo Charles and me, Jocko Willing. Good evening, Echo. Good evening. Decisions, decisions. That's kinda what life is. Life is made up of a bunch of decisions that we make on a personal level, obviously. And we see where that leads to.

Yeah. Right. Generally speaking, one decision that someone makes does not completely alter the trajectory of their life. Usually it's compounding decisions over time. I know you and I were discussing that a couple weeks ago. You go into certain areas and you can see that there's been poor decisions made across the board. Yes, and vice versa too, by the way. Meaning in good areas? Yes. Yeah. So Decisions, right?

On a personal level. I mean on a daily basis, you know, what are you gonna eat? What are you gonna say? What are you not gonna say? Mm-hmm. Are you gonna speak up in a certain situation? Are you gonna keep your mouth shut? Are you gonna stay in that job unif there's all kinds of decisions that we're making. The family, you're making decisions in your family as well.
