What happens when everything is taken from you—and you refuse to quit?
In this powerful conversation with Jocko Willink, Rob Jones—Marine combat engineer, endurance athlete, and leadership instructor at Echelon Front—shares the brutal reality of war, recovery, and rebuilding life after losing both legs to an IED in Afghanistan.
Rob walks through the moment his life changed forever, the mental battle that followed, and the mindset shift that allowed him to survive, adapt, and lead at the highest level. Drawing from his new book, Put Your Legs On, this episode dives deep into resilience, open-mindedness, purpose, and how to fight the “terrorists in your head.”
This is a raw, honest discussion between Rob and Jocko about pain, brotherhood, leadership, and choosing a path forward—no matter how impossible it looks.
If you’re facing adversity, doubt, or hardship, this conversation will challenge how you see limits, suffering, and what’s possible when you refuse to give up.
