want to tell you right
now about a very sleek item and sometimes you have on thick pants and sometimes
you just have on a
panty. Sometimes you just put a panty on your legs or on somebody else's legs
even. Somebody who's,
you know, somebody who's alive. And that's what I want to talk to you about. A
panty for your phone,
you know, and that's the minimal case. MNML case. It's the world's thinnest
case.
It is thin, thin, thin. Think about something really, really thin. That's what
it is. It's almost
like a breath mint strip just wrapped around your phone. It is 0.01 inches
thick and it showcases the
beauty of your phone. It's so thin you can't even imagine that. Now, if you
drop your phone or
something, this thing's not, I mean, it's not that holder, you know, it's not
that naughty,
you know, that naughty daughter that's just going to grip onto your thing, but
it's going to be that
sleek, fancy. If you're taking your phone to the prom, then you might want to
have it in that minimal
case. It's available for all major phones, including iPhone X, 8, 7, Pixel 2,
Galaxy Note 8,

real, real hearty on your
phone and it would be, it's that sleek. I mean, this is, if your phone, it's
like just having like a
little kind of a condom for your phone. Mnmlcase.com. He has a new book

media at Jocko Willink. It is the retired Navy SEAL, a man that turns wanderers
into warriors,
Mr. Jocko Willink.
Let myself on my eyes shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my stories
shine on me
You're prepared for the day, Jocko.
I got up, I got up actually this morning, no joke, I got up at 4.15 just to see
what that
would feel like. How'd it feel? It felt inspiring and then by about, uh, stayed
up till about maybe
4.55 and then it felt kind of scary. You know, I felt like maybe I had some
sugar issues and had
to lay back down. Yeah. Yeah. I got up early this morning too. Did you? Yeah.
Yeah. Do you, on the
mornings when you get up and you have that, do you have that moment in your
head where you don't
feel like it anymore? I know that some of that goes away when you repeatedly
drive through that
moment. Do you still have that sometimes? Sure. Sure. And what do you do? Go
anyways. Just go.
Just go anyways. Just keep it cruising. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Take action.
Next foot. Yeah. A lot
of times people say, you know, how do you get up early in the morning? And I
say, set your alarm clock
and get out of bed when it goes off. Yeah. That's what you do. Right. Do you
ever, uh, are, are there
days or moments or special times when you let yourself, um, you know, that the
tomorrow's a day for
luxury tomorrow's a day to relax? Not relax. Not really. Yeah. Not really.
Cause I've got a lot
of stuff I got to do. Right. You know, things. You have a lot of business, a
lot of stuff going on.
Yeah. And just at the end of a day where you took a luxury day, did you just
call it a luxury day? Is
that what you said? I'll say that. Okay. So let's say you take a luxury day.
Okay. Right. Theo takes a
luxury day. Okay. At the end of that day, how do you feel? Right. I feel like I
need to gear back up.
Yeah. Well, when I get to the end of that day, I just feel like I just wasted a
day of my life.
Right. That's what I feel like. Right. You know, so there's no, no luxury days
happen over here on
my side. Okay. We're going to keep it real over here. Okay. This will be, I'll
let you handle the
luxury scenarios. I think I'd like to have less luxury days in my life though.
Maybe that'd be one of my
coming goals. Um, you know, I was thinking the other day, are there, I was
listening to some past
podcasts that you've had with, uh, Joe Rogan, Tim Ferriss. And, um, are there
things when you get
into combat, when you get into a war type scenario that, uh, that you, that you
think you would be
totally prepared for? And then there's something that breaks a man at that
moment that they have
no point to know before that, that they wouldn't be able to handle. They could
do all the training.
They could do everything. They could do all the preparation, all the, you know,
um, uh, the,
the, you know, simulation, all of that. But at that moment, there's something
inside of them and
it's not even a knock against them, but there's something that they can't
handle.
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I mean, so what it is, the big difference is someone's
going to try and kill
you and you could die. And so some people have a real hard time with that. And
so occasionally you'll
see a guy that doesn't want to be in that situation where they can get killed.
And, and what is
your responsibility at that point? Like as a leader, like if you see something
like that
happen, are you able to notice kind of that now? Like, yeah, the other thing
that can happen
is as guys put themselves and their lives at risk over and over and over again,
eventually
they can get, they can get worn down, you know, combat fatigue. And so as they
get worn down,
that's where the responsibility of the leader is to try and recognize that and
then pull them
off the front lines to the best of your ability. The way I was describing to
people, especially when
I'm talking to the young leaders that are out there that are, that are, that
are leading these
men into combat is when you see that it's like, it's like having a check engine
light on the car,
right? If you take that car in for service, you, they can put more oil in it or
whatever,
and it'll be fine. But if you keep running that engine at a hard pace, it's
going to, it's going to
blow out the engine and it'll be ruined. Right. So you got to, as a leader, you
got to look and
recognize, Hey, okay, this guy's had a little bit too much right now. I need to
pull him off the
front lines. And you don't, you don't say, I don't, I wouldn't say to you, Hey,
Theo, I can see
you've had too much. I'm going to pull you off the front lines because your ego
would get involved
and you'd say, no, no, I'm good to go. When re the reality is you need, you
need a break,
but I might say, Hey, Theo, I got this logistics run that needs to be made back
to the, back to the
rear. Can you make sure you go do that for me? And that way I want to make sure
we get this,
this, and this all squared away. And I know that you're the guy I trust to get
it done. And you'd
be like, yeah, cool. And then you go back to the rear, you pick up whatever you
need to pick up.
Maybe you catch a movie. Maybe you have a little Theo luxury day back there in
the rear and you get,
you know, you get your, you get your mindset right again, because guys do break
and it's,
it's the responsibility of the leader to try and prevent that. And you know, it's,
it's a really
horrible thing. Um, you know, I just did a podcast on my podcast and in world
war one,
the British, and I don't know if you know anything about world war one, but
world war one was
absolutely heinous. It was a heinous war on all wars are pretty damn heinous,
but that kind of takes
the top spot as, as just horrible situations where these guys are getting
killed by the, by the tens
of thousands. Right. I saw it done. Kirk. That's the only thing I saw. And I
don't even know if
that's from that war. I, I, I haven't seen that movie, but, uh, in world war
one, guys are in
trenches and you're going to charge another trench against machine guns and
they're getting mowed
down. And there was no real, you don't really have any say as a, even as a
frontline leader,
it was like, okay, at six o'clock tomorrow morning, you're going to get up with
your platoon and
you're going to charge this, this other trench and guys would just get killed.
And then you had gas on top
of that. It was, it was just a nightmare. And the British during that war, they
executed about 350
people of which about 300 of those were for cowardice, what they called cowardice.
Wow.
Now you can go on YouTube and you can check out shell shock, world war one
shell shock. You see,
it's one of the saddest things that I've seen in my life is these guys are so,
cause they're,
they're getting bombarded with shells and artillery and mortars for, for months
and months and months
and months on end. And eventually their mind just couldn't take it. And
different people have
levels of what they can take. And this doesn't mean they're a bad person. Doesn't
mean they're a coward.
It means that they took as much as they could and they couldn't take it anymore.
And these guys would
literally shake this one guys. He, his wife gets a letter and she doesn't
recognize the handwriting.
And it's because he's in the hospital. He, he has to have a nurse right for him
cause he can't hold a pencil to write
to his wife. And this particular guy, he ends up getting executed shot at dawn,
which is what they did with
these guys, about 300 of them. And eventually the British government admitted
and said, Hey, we were wrong
and we did the wrong thing. But that's a situation where if you had these guys
who you see that they're
breaking, you get them off the front line, you get them some rest and
relaxation and some luxury Theo
style. You get, you get them in that mindset where they can relax and then
eventually they'll build back
up and they'll be ready to go back to the front again, hopefully. And maybe
they won't, but there's a good
chance that they will. So that's, that's definitely something that a leader
needs to think, needs to
think about. And it's also something that you as a human being need to think
about, right? Guys can
push themselves so hard that eventually they, they need a, they need a break,
you know, and do you have
to monitor a lot of that? It's hard enough, but do you have to monitor a lot of
that with ego? Cause
I'm sure, you know, with a lot of bravado, sometimes ego can probably get
inv
