On today’s part 3 episode, audience members had the unique opportunity to interact directly with Jocko Willink, posing insightful questions that delved deeper into his experiences and philosophies on leadership and management.

He shared anecdotes from his time training SEAL teams, illustrating the critical need for humility and openness in effective leadership.
Another participant explored Jocko's recruitment strategies, particularly interested in how he assesses potential team members for his various business ventures. Jocko detailed the rigorous, real-world scenarios candidates are put through—dubbed the 'Jocotest'—to ensure they can handle the actual pressures and responsibilities of the job.

Jocko provided practical advice on ensuring SOPs allow for enough leeway to handle unexpected challenges effectively.
