Huberman on Jocko did not display extreme ownership. Nor did Jocko hold him to that standard. Episode Discussion

Hoping to have a serious discussion free of moralizing Karens and alt right incels who were both astroturfing here when the New York magazine article came out. He used the “extreme ownership” words himself and I think it was an abuse of the term. When asked about the article, he talked about the history of the pod, then went on and on about whether he skated for Venture. Then quickly addressed the cheating. I respect that he had the courage to address it at all but I would say he definitely minimized at very best.

That podcast basically confirmed 80% of things in the NYMag story were true. And he ended up revealing more about himself

I really want to know what his PR agency has told him to do. Like what is their game plan?

They told him to not comment until the story died. Which it did.

Address it briefly on a friendly podcast where he can control the narrative, act contrite, refute some points, and be somewhat vague. Move on.

From this point forward he can say that he has addressed it already and is not going to revisit it.

He owns his own podcast and IP. No corporate heads are going to force him to bend the knee and beg the people angry about this for foregiveness.

Yes, in fact he made a big deal on the Jocko podcast about how someone who is angry with him should talk to him one on one

It's funny when public figures who made themselves public get upset when something is discussed publicly.
