>Join Jocko Underground< Jocko in Las Vegas for UFC BJJ, coaching his daughter Rana in a tough match against Bella Mir. He recaps the fight—Bella’s wrestling and top control versus Rana’s constant submission attempts—then shares what sticks with him most: after losing, Rana says, “If I only had one more minute.”That comment becomes the episode’s main point: in life, you don’t get extra time. Jocko ties it to Shakespeare (“I wasted time, now time doth waste me”), calls for an honest end-of-year time audit, and stresses time is the one resource you cannot control or recover—so wasting it has real consequences.He closes by promoting the January “DEF Reset,” a four-week discipline challenge built around daily habits like getting up earlier, doing morning physical activity, planning priorities (especially long-term strategic goals), hydrating, eating clean, cutting junk/sugar, reading or writing daily, and reflecting with gratitude—ending with a reminder that the clock never stops.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jocko-podcast/exclusive-content
