This is Jocko Podcast number 558 with Echo Charles and me, Jocko Willink. Good evening, Echo. Good evening. My left ear is a natural conversation starter. It is visibly damaged, about half missing.
People get curious. They ask about it. It is a good story and people's eyes tend to get wide. Man, you could have been killed. Oh, there's more where that came from, I smiled than casually mention this or that.
I was a soldier for twenty five years, and I am now known in defense circles for my globe trotting war research, teaching, writing, and public work. It is a life and career that has landed me in jeopardy a time or two. Or twenty. Twenty times I almost died. Hard to believe, but here they are.
