What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have been listening to everything involving leadership that Jocko/Leif put out for many years. My two favorite things about this podcast are how concisely the information is presented and of course the fact that this podcast was created by one of the combat principles: Decentralized Command. The skills that Echelon Front teaches have truly helped me grow in my career as I changed industries. A huge thanks to the team, keep up the great work!

Decentralized Command! · Sep 2025

Lead. Win. An Extreme Ownership Podcast provides weekly actionable drills to reinforce the leadership principals taught by Echelon Front. The weekly podcast is the perfect addition to my commute to work. The information is presented using simple, concise language which allows for immediate application. If you enjoy “The Debrief” episodes from the Jocko Podcast, you’ll enjoy Lead. Win. as well.
