He was a Navy SEAL for 20 years, and was the commander of SEAL Team Three, Task Unit Bruiser, the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the Iraq War. Now, Jocko teaches leadership, strategy, tactics, fitness, and jiu-jitsu to people all over the world.

DREAM BIG ACADEMY – BETA

If you are a long-time listener, you know that we are working on a course that we are going to launch in 2019 called the Dream Big Academy. The first section of the course is all about this concept of self-belief. And we just completed this section!

We really want all of our Big Dreamers to have access to this information – so we are going to offer the first section for FREE for a limited time. It is essentially its own course on confidence — with over 1 hour of videos with Eva teaching on the subject! We hired an amazing illustrator who helped us with the videos and accompanying worksheets. We are so incredibly proud of this content and know it can have a huge impact. We hear from so many listeners who say that their kids really connect with Eva since she is a peer – and we know that this same connection will carry over to the course. To access this free confidence course, please go to DreamBigPodcast.com/Beta
