Once again, Jockopodcast hosts a story that, unbelievably–and through no fault of his own–outdoes the last (which had, naturally, outdone the one before it). I don’t mean this seriously (i.e. “outdone”) but there is no other way to explain it; the stories and the storytellers transcend hero in any classic sense. But heroes that, though their injuries are among the most severe, both physical and mental/emotional, they speak of their vulnerabilities–and what they want for the world for which they sacrificed so much–and some of their brothers *everything*. They are multifaceted heroes.
(Heroes that likely don’t wake up every day thinking “Damn. I’m a serious hero.”)
Today I laid wreaths at Arlington with about 50,000 people. I could do so much more.
Thank you for another superlative podcast, Jocko and Echo.
I loved this podcast, number 207. In my opinion, this may be one of the best Jocko podcasts yet. Kyle did an excellent job sharing his story, and I really liked how he shared the reasons for writing his book. I was never in the military and I just felt such a connection with this interview as he talked about everyone overcoming their own challenges. Following the tone of this podcast, thank you Jocko for asking the right questions, and thank you Kyle for your service, sacrifice and your message. It has changed my life.
Jocko, I also have another suggestion for a book review. I know you probably get many of them. But, I knew this gentleman and he was an amazing individual with an incredible family. He was a MOH recipient from Iwo Jima as a corpsman. His story is amazing and not well known.

I had the privilege to hear Kyle speak at Princeton Medical Center in New Jersey last month. There were times while he was speaking that you could hear a pin drop. A very good friend of mine started the New Jersey Veterans Network. He does some amazing work with post 9/11 veterans that are really struggling. He had a group of about 9 of them there that night. I witnessed 3 of them, at the end of the evening, have a different look in their eyes. It was like the light had been restored. Kyle has a way of speaking that lets the listener know that each word that comes out of his mouth is well thought out.
I am very happy that you were able to get him on your podcast. And a 5 hour one at that!
Thank you,
Phil Laferrera
Kyle has an amazing outlook on life. Excellent episode and I wish him the best of luck in everything that he does.
