Jocko Podcast 398: Storming into Conflict Zones and Protecting. W/ Former Navy Seal, Ephraim Mattos. 

Since he isn’t in the navy anymore, this man deserves the Medal of Heroism. If he was a Seal I wouldn’t be surprised he gets the Medal of Honor, this man deserves it. God bless him

I first heard about Ephraim Mattos from the video MrBallen made. It’s awesome Jocko brought him on the podcast! Man has an awesome story

Jocko: "No drumbeats?" Ephraim: "True story." 💯😂💯

The 2 little girls who almost got shot. How gut wrenching. I have a daughter and this brought chills down my spine.

This guy has one of the most remarkable amazing experiences and is doing great things for people his story must get out to more

Thx for Highlighting this hero Jocko.. I've been following and a supporter of Stronghold for a few years. This guy is a national treasure.

Saw the video of him getting shot. Dude stands right up and keeps moving. What a boss. That city is demolished too. What a stud

So glad you had Ephraim on the podcast. Read this book three years ago and just re-read it before listening. SO GOOD!

Incredible heroism is on full display in the footage of Mr. Mattos being shot in the leg and nearly ran over by a tank as he was providing cover during the rescue of a young Iraqi girl. God bless you Mr. Mattos for your bravery and selflessness.

This is gonna be a DAMN GOOD SHOW! Damn good show!

I worked 3rd shift at McDonald’s. Jocko: get some! I smiled ear to ear chuckling!

Haven't listened to a bad Jocko podcast yet, but this one is gold.

9:29 Oh my goodness. We went to the same church and school and everything. I don’t know Ephraim personally but I knew about him, the guy that joined the Navy Seals. And I met his brother Zeb at the time. Zeb was doing a lot of Christian missionary work for a while with an organization traveling to different countries. My mind is so blown right now I almost feel like I’m not sure if I should say anything hahaha.

I believe the point in broadening your vision is referencing your ability to literally change the focus of your eyeballs such that your eyes aren’t fixated on a single point, but you’ve essentially changed your vision to a more peripheral focus. This produces a relaxed feeling in the mind, the animal brain that is in “survival mode” when the eyeballs are focused has a chance to relax and you can enter a deeper state of meditative thought. Thanks for the great interview.

It'll awesome to see Shwan Rayan on the show. Very awesome combination 😅

Goosebumps at about 2:14 mark. These guys are legend!!!!

Lucky number 14! Jocko for POTUS!!! 🇺🇸💯💪🏻

Heroes... God bless you all.

This guy is a hero!!!!!!

This was my favorite interview. I can’t imagine going through buds with gastrointestinal problems

My night shift just got awesome 😎

"I finally got to go to public school (for one year) and it was a really positive experience." Presumably because a small dose of poison is a benefit from an immune response perspective . . .

Read his book a while back. Good stuff

This was an amazing episode.

What an amazing story!

FBR is a great org. Great interview.

Great episode and worth the five year wait. He wasn’t ready until now to tell that story.

What a baddass.

RUN FOR PRESIDENT JACKO!

Stoked for this

Awesome pod

Jocko and Echo should sign with Oakley Standard Issue. Tons of complimentary Oakley gear, compen$ation, and commercial outreach.

If I didn't recognize the name from MrBallen's video I probably wouldn't have stopped on this

FANTASTIC

BIG BOSSING!!!!! 💪 💯 🔥 #bigbossing #jocko #jockowillink #jockopodcast #echocharles

I was there for Mosul…I can smell this story lol

This man is a fucking LEGEND!!!!!!

At the mention of the ‘Seaman to Admiral’ program around 21:25 I wonder if anyone who did that program has become or is on track to be an Admiral?

I'm donating.this dude is awesome When Ukraine got attacked by Russia I felt a strong urge to train up and fight with the Ukraine, but I have family and I'm a wuss. Then you got guys like Matos and Tim Kennedy out there saving the world, I better support these guys somehow.

#JockoWillinkforPresident!

Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸👊🏻

Jesus I don't know how a person could not go crazy having witnessed all this horrific stuff

One group you leave out that helps or impacts people's lives are coaches.

Jocko would you ever consider taking a job at say space fleet command or maybe a council member from earth alliance as to the space trade that is happening in the now.

Here from the clip he made

Thank you for helping my Karen people in Burma.

great

it would be my sincere honor to grab a cup of coffee with you the next time you swing back through Bangkok. OS1(SW) Ret.

I know exactly what he’s talking about there about the childhood

Jock ever get any good at doing double speak code. maybe you see but do not notice the use of back chan to the pipe up the pipe to the top. work it. Hello HQ

You put you in that situation, Soldier.

Did you try Nugenix or Tony Hawks Qunol Ultra yet?

I love Metallica, you love Metallica. Why not try to get James Hetfield or Kirk Hammett on the show? It would be an interesting dynamic, and I would love to listen to the verbal exchange. @MetallicA

I’m an Independent Fundamental Baptist and happy to be one!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

This dude loves his voice.

Hey Jocko got a quest so what do you recommend for the average Joe type of guy well maybe not so average but yeah but anyhow home defense gun

I absolutely Respect Jocko an these Men on here. Can anyone explain why This Man could not listen to Drumbeats? That's something I don't quite understand.

Classical Piano boys

Gonna wake up with morning wood after listening to this

If you just had to have 1 gun?

I wonder if any politicians watch this?

His fatty food thing is wheat. If I drop all wheat I will drop 30lbs in a month and a half. Plus drinking calories of any form leads to obesity. Black coffee and water for me.

Hey Jocko what up buddy boy. I led the very first 12 tunnel rats in the nom. This was way before you and I with the seals.Did you know that when we all came back to the states 4 of the first tunnel rats played football together with others on the san diego chargers. Hank bauer ed white are 2 of the four. that why all the hank bauer posters were of him no shirt with bullet belts over shoulder across his chest. It was a nom thing. they were pulled from a prison sentence with amnesty if they lived to make it back alive of which 2 did not ,but they were off death row anyway . they thought they were bad ass enough to clean out a tunnel by their selves , so they had their chance to prove so and they failed and died then the rest of us went in cleaned the tunnel and brought their 2 bodys out and sent them back in body bags. Our whole mission was to kill and destroy take no prisoners. hoooraaaa

Is Echo Charles a retired Navy Seal?

We want dauber

I would say opposite we need more navy seals less pastors lol 🇺🇸

🇺🇸👍💯

Man, RU-vid is really trying to suppress this episode... 66k views in 2+ months?! I had to manually search for it, and even knowing what to search for it was still like 6 results down. It might be the only JP numbered episode that wasn't recommended to me the day/week it released. I'm getting so sick of this platform, especially when they're seemingly putting the thumb on the scale of such an amazing story that needs air

Willink/Gabbard '24!!

So now mattos is and has been there like you and i even though I have seen much more than you and him. instead of hatred just send them to the supreme creator and let him figure them out. next mission same same and so on.

Jocko what are you drinking go something

Interesting that Ephraim found some religious views to be nonsensical, but he remained a believer.

I miss the podcasts with the old timers like Dick Thompson. The problem with interviews with navy seals is you have no idea if they're telling the truth or not.

No matter what I say brother of arms at least I know David was a real soldier like I knew he was Men like him an Danny you all of you are men of men Your lines water crossed some say you put ya weapon down for that one instant because you know you weren't the reasons for death Fist I saw Danny was a juggernaut in my Invisions In my biblical visions sacred visons Not all my visions or nonvisions ate of me is others who feel they have right to my mind my thought me period Fear is just a word If I were afraid I'd not be speaking with friend I'm no enemy you soldiers are the fighters who die everyday For the red white blue and me Have collided some how Sleep or wake I know what I see above not same below only above is where allllll the damage is down here on earth is mine an God's your gutting the earth an universe you smother me with it ALLLLLLLL you have done here an above Still He loves me not sa much Wonder why he hasn't

8th

right a book then make it into a movie then for ever more when you talk about it all the people do is say oh you saw the movie and call BS all the time. well it is time to wake up now. or face the consequences of not waking up. they will all flip out and stay lock in their living facility for ever more . HA HA HA HA to them.

Don Shipley would be a fantastic podcast

Where can we get the footage that was took during the rescue mission for the little girl and the two men? Is there a way how we can get it?

Sign my old head up ! Where do I JOIN ???
