This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 169. Sitting here with Echo Charles looking to provide some options, some courses of actions, and some answers for troopers out there with questions. Life's obstacles. They come. Yes, sir.

All right. First question. Jocko, I'm looking for advice on how to cope with the challenges of having a child with special needs. My wife and I have three kids. The oldest, twelve, has special needs that will require a lifetime of care.

Our reality is different from most, and I accept that, but I'm having a hard time with the long, challenging days that for us will likely never end. There is no finish line. I carry the additional burden of ensuring there is enough money for the ch for the child when my wife and I are gone. I've taken the necessary steps to make sure this happens, but maintaining this place Pace is hard.
