This is hands-down one of the best shows I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to
I've only been listening since January, and there's lots of great ones... 👍 Hope you discover more. 😉
Amen to that. The world needs more of this kind of inspiration!
Agreed. Jose's perserverance is truly amazing.
This guy is a grade A story teller. Could listen to him all day.
That's what he said he wanted to be, an astronaut.
Correct. He is a Story-Teller

Wow that story really hits home as a Mexican American father raising 4 kids. Thanks for sharing.
For every person who insists that the system is broken, that you can never really achieve anything, there is someone like this man who proves them wrong. Jose represents everyone, no matter where they start out from making their way in life, and finding their happiness in it. Only from humble beginnings can one reach true greatness, and he proves it to be true.
I agree 100%. I have several of these examples around me every day in Construction in California. Ironically one is also from Michoacan Mexico. Don't dare tell them the American dream is dead. They're living proof. Another guy came from Guatemala 25 years ago. When he left he was making $3 a day. Fast forward to today and all 3 kids went to college, and he has their home +3 rental homes. True hard work and commitment will always land you in a good place. Well usually not NASA but doing well..lol
Awesome show Jocko. I am proud to say that I know Jose. I worked with him at Lawrence Livermore Lab. Witnessed much of what he speaks about including his astronaut application process. As disappointing as it was when he left the lab for Houston it was even more exciting when he was selected. And of course his launch. Awesome life story. Awesome human being and awesome guest. One can absolutely do most anything they put their mind to. You just have to “get after it”.
He is one of many excellent examples of why we should not change America. This is one of the few countries were you can accomplish anything if you are willing to work hard enough.
@@t-bonear2539We should. We should always strive to make it better.
The Rock: I'm the hardest working man in the room Josè: Hold my cervesa
Ayyyyy
I'm sitting here in Stockton, CA, inspired by this man's journey!
"There is only one way to make dreams come true...." Thank you gentlemen Cheers
not tru strippies take bitcoins now so, it's a lot more than one, and credit, some even accept coupons
I remember the commercial. Walking underneath the stars. Talking about how he used to work the fields as a kid. And kept working hard enough to become an astronaut. Awesome!! Is not enough
That school story had me dying. I think every American born Mexican grew up that way.
I've had the pleasure of working with Jose at my previous job with the Teamsters Union. We supported him in his run for congress (CD21). His story is truly inspiring!!!!
I found I am emotionally attached to Echo. I've never seen an episode without him and this episode is AWESOME but it's missing that Hawaiian spice.
Agree. We the punters need Echo back.
Love me some Echo Charles!
Same Echo is like that silent sage just speaking exactly what is needed at the right times and never really overshadows jocko and I feel he does that perfectly.
Echo a sage?
Agreed
This guy and the story of his parents are just another driver for me to be a good father to my future children.
Please bring more people like this to the United States. People like this have true American spirit.
he was born in California wtf are you talking about bringing more people like him to the US
Finally they got some of my people on here my raza Mexican American...love this podcast don't get me wrong but love to see my people shine.....⭐🌞⭐
Mexican-American scientist myself, and man this was a great listen! I too lived a nomadic lifestyle growing up. I've never known stability, and I have to say, hearing Mrs. Youngs words couldn't come at a better moment for me. Incredible podcast, and thank you to Jose Hernandez for sharing this!
Jose is a great person showing how we can achieve our Goals, and how to Takeshi steps to get them.
@@stancuellar4132 wassup fellow cuellar lmao
@@MeiaLuaDeCompasso jajajaja hello my Sisters an brother live in LA, my Sister work in LA county she got a MBA Cal state Dominguez Hill , my brother graduales Civil Engineer Cal state Long Beach with scholarship an effort
Jocko uploading in the middle of the night - no factor. GET SOME
Upon watching this I came to the realization of what this actually is. The warrior poet and the astronaut Only a republic of high order could create two men like this. If the founders could watch this They'd be proud of what they started Thank you Mr Hernández for sharing your story sir Keep rockin' it jocko!!!
As someone who teaches kids every day in Martial Arts and school activities, as well as works for someone who is the regional manager of ESL (English as a Second Language) this was an absolute pleasure to listen to!!! If you engage with kids at all this is literally necessary listening.
Listened to many amazing episodes of Jocko Podcast since #1, but this has to be in the top 5 for sure.
bro its a 4 hour podcast thats only been out for a hour, what are you on about
@@americanpatriot6938 this podcast came out earlier on audio like every jocko podcast 🤦♂️
@@thenicoalfonso didnt kno - on spotify?
@@americanpatriot6938 yes, and most other podcast platforms. Typically a day or two before the videos are out on KZhead.
Yussss!, was waiting for the visuals on this one. Listened to an hour of the audio, and then turned it off to wait for the added visual aspect of his storytelling 😊
I listened to the entire audio podcast, excited to discover it was on KZhead. Yep, better in 3D when you can catch it. Glad they got after it! 👍
I'm an engineer and Jose made me smile. He'd kindly and gently correct you by saying 3 hours 40 minutes average, or 3 Thousand 2 hundred and 18 miles away. He could have been accurate and understood, but he choose to be accurate and precise. I wouldn't bother to fact check because I know he's studied and practiced and verified the answers. He's very intelligent but he's clearly a very prepared person, good lesson in there.
I could listen to this all day, jocko reminds me of Paul Harvey, and the rest of the story..
You know who I would love to see on this podcast? Mark Donaldson VC, first Australian to win Australia's highest military honours since WWII, the Victoria Cross for Australia, his life is interesting as fuck with so many hardships, his book Crossroads was an incredible read, in 08 he earned his VC by putting his life on the line to save a critically injured interpreter while his 5 car convoy was taking 360° fire
This podcast showed up in my recommendations at the right time. I have been on the fense about quitting ju jitsu as its so difficult in the beginning, not to mention the added challenge of learing the technique with a vision impairment. I ended up going to class regardless last night and I am very glad I did. Seeing this podcast on reeffirms that I need to continue the pursuit of BJJ. I needed this podcast. Thank you Jocko and crew.
Brendan, Keep it up if possible. When I started BJJ, there was a blind purple belt that tapped me out all the time.
I love Jocko and his guests! I was needing inspiration today, flipped this on and feel back rooted! Don't forget Live: ISS!
Hell yeah. Space boys in the house.
I'm an early childhood educator, and it's crazy how much a consistent environment can do for a child! In our classrooms we try to help incorporate the child's home into the classroom. So we do family boards, if a child is bilingual we put labels and get books that are in their native language. We are also encouraged to learn a few words in the language to help communication. Your teacher was amazing!
Echo has changed a lot since last episode I've watched
Señor Zendeyhas taught you a great lesson. Tenga gran orgullo por su cultura. Soy un gringo hispañohablante querría decirle eres muy interesante y muy buen trabajo. La comida de mamá es lo mejor tambien.
This episode was truely inspiring... I have to pause a third way in 108:00 and let the lessons soak into my soul. Congrats Mr.Hernandez on a beautiful ride. Sincerely
I think the "content of his character" is one of the reasons why he was chosen to be an Astronaut that isn't mentioned. I believe it plays a big factor, especially when the selection process gets narrowed down to 12 or 20. For him to invite/bring those two teachers who impacted him most & have them sit with his family at his first launch...to show them such respect by his actions & not just words. You couldn't ask for a better way to appreciate & honor a teacher more than this.
I love Echo. Jocko's always big brothering him. Its so funny.
When I was a boy in middle school, I had the fortune of being in the National Junior Honor Society. One phrase which always stuck with me was, “It’s not your aptitude, but your attitude, which determines your altitude in life.” Jose embodies this phrase. Despite the circumstances while growing up, he saw his life as a great opportunity. Well done Jocko! This was a great interview.
Same man! Great story!
When faced with something that making you struggle look at it and say ' make me struggle!! You're only making me stronger! You're a benefit to my well being.'
Pick a goal high enough that there are lots of cool and worthy steps. EG: the path to "astronaut" might contain: military officer, pilot, professor of any of several topics, various types of engineer.
Stockton made it to Jocko podcast! Glad to see the success of my hard working people
This is incredibly inspiring. What a great American story.
True hard working Mexicano 🙏🏾 much needed motivation for the week. Awesome episode
So grateful I grew up in the Texas Hill Country in a place with everyone being different. We spoke “Spanglish” and it’s served me all my life and continues to this day to do so. Growing up multilingual gives you such benefit, living in my friends houses with their Parents as The Law and learning the Culture and my Mexican friends getting the same in the Anglo houses, the benefits are never ending. We were one big Family you see and there was no difference between any of us. No matter the 1st language spoken in the individual home, English, German, Polish, Czech, Spanish, it didn’t matter. If you wanted to know what was going on you picked up on what was being said and in doing that you got an in-depth look into how people thought and lived. People are so much the same and yet so different at the extremes, all is beneficial to everyone if you pay attention. I’m especially grateful for the difference in eating the same basic foods but getting to enjoy them prepared in different ways from cultural influences and traditions! What a childhood and place/way to grow up! Jose and I are born in the same year and I can relate exactly to his mindset from those times.
The perfect example for living the american dream! What an awesome story!
What an awesome teacher with the young tree analogy
interview the parents they are the real stars, not to dismiss jose but they produced this guy
man so true, parents do tend to produce humans 😆
They gave him the tools. He put in the work. Clearly
Watched all of this on another platform. This is prob my favorite episode yet. Commenting for engagement.
"Normalization of Deviation" is the equivalent of a term we use in law enforcement and that's "Complacency Kills". Awesome interview!!!
this guy is off the charts w overall duty to educate motivate and he gives a dam about people u can just tell after 1 min of listening to the man semper fi jocko u da man john wayne got nuthn on u. lol
What a great podcasr and life story. Well done Men!
Imagine being actually happy to live with your parents
What an awesome, inspiring story to share with my 4 boys -- beautiful!😃 Thanks, Mr. Jocko & Friends! God be with you & yours, always. 💖🙏🏼🕊️
This is a good episode. Although I must say that I have gone through a 12pk case of Mango Mayhem due to the absence of Echo Charles.
Thank you jocko and jose for this incredible journey and the many lessons to be learned and cherished in ones life
Purdue University was recently declared one of the top ten public universities in America. Boiler Up!
This was so Powerful! I cannot really relate to his upbringing but these stories about his parents are breaking me down. So flippin awesome. Amazing so many MILLIONS of Americans do not grasp what they have in our country. They choose ignorance and laziness to their, and more importantly their descendants, demise. His parents - and that fantastic teacher! - changed generations of people.
STOP AUTO PLAYING JACK-O's PODCASTS 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎
The story about Jose's father & his teacher is beautiful & got my eyes watering. Thank you.
We raised our kids while working as migrant farmers. We did potatoes in Idaho, lettuce in California, tomatoes florida, blackberry North Carolina, Salmon in Seattle, salmon in Alaska before I went on military disability. In between seasons we spent a lot of time in the bush, or 🏜. Our daughter just returned from Germany with the big red 1. I was the only gringo, or veteran. I don't speak Spanish. My wife was would interpreter. She swam the Rio grand at 13 with an 11month baby. Jump down turn around pick a bale of cotton boy! I grew up in Mississippi skipping school to throw hay bail, get drunk, and drive race cars on Memphis streets.

I got fired yesterday due to my vaccination status and my husband sent this to me. I am here for it.
Sounds like you are blessed with a good husband there. Time to pursue other goals that you may have Lola. New year, clean slate. Rooting for you 💪🇺🇸
@@alantinoalantonio thanks!! I appreciate your words.
Stay Strong. We need more bold souls to stand up against tyranny.
10:23 to 22:18 would be a good excerpt. Miss Young. Thank you teachers.
best podcast ive ever seen.Thank you !!!!
Greatest country in the world and good news, we can make it even better.
Awesome podcast, totally can relate to this man's story as a Mexican-American from East LA... Much respect thanks
I do not get to listen to all of episodes you put out,but when ever I do I get a lot out of it man. It’s always an eye opener. This story is amazing.
Best Podcast Ever. Seriously... He can learn what is already done later ®. Seriously inspiring... Amen.
Good parenting usually makes good people. Very inspiring.
Great start. I'm going to finish the rest. My dad learned English with the Beatles music initially, ESL classes, and working.
Thanks for your time.
Gratitude is a powerful feeling.
45:14 to 55:19 How you know you are the wrong path to become an astronaut. Would be a good excerpt.
25:27 ... Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I was living in the city of Ventura when the big Northridge earthquake happened.. I was jolted awake, ran outside to see the sky flashing green as the distant massive towers from the power plant swayed and ran into each other causing massive green sparks to light up the night sky.. and then, after the quake was over... I looked up, and it brought tears to my eyes and took my breath away. The same sky that I grew up looking at, with Orion, the Big Dipper, the Seven Sisters or Pleiades, was unrecognizable. There were so many stars everywhere that I couldn't even make out the usual constellations that are always there. The colors, the density of the stars, and the bright Milky Way, like a bright river flowing across the sky... it looked like a magic movie set, it completely took me by surprise and took my breath away. There were no city lights from Ventura, Camarillo, Oxnard, you name it... they were all knocked out by the quake... hence the true sky, once and only once was seen and it transported me to Yosemite, to the High Sierras... our beloved vacation spots at the time, and the sky at night was one of the reasons that we loved to go out camping for a week or two at some isolated High Sierra lake, as the stars were enough to watch and count as we fell asleep each night. Now, at that time, I was looking up at that same wide massive beautiful scene... but from my own backyard.
Thanks for sharing, that was an awesome image you put in my head. Amazing and scary
Outstanding journey this gentleman has had.
Thank you for this podcast, been watching for a very long time. Just saying the influencing like the teacher had meaning on your guest, your podcast has done the same for me. Acceptance of deviation hit home in my work place hit home.
Powerful Jose Hernandez . Great podcast and story!
very inspirational man. Glad to have seen this episode on time. Thanks Jocko!
Jocko’s “one world huh” had me laughing so hard!
Two inspiring men. Thank you Jocko!
That is a real story of perseverance.
Jockooo perfect timing brother 🔥
Yoooo mans makin million eurooos
@Andrew Fine panzy manzy
This was such a great guest to have on. I loved this episode.
#JockoWillink Some of the best Vietnamese Era War Stories I've heard were from 2 Tunnel Rats! When i met as a kid.
Growing up in northern California myself, not too far from the Stockton/ Modesto area, this episode hit me right in the feels, so to speak. I shared with both my mother and my sister. . Gotta say though, as someone who has fled my once beautiful home state, where regular people used to be able to actually afford to live, I was stunned when José said he was a Democrat! The policies of the democratic party have absolutely ruined California, but you already know that, Jocko. You were just too polite to ask, "Why? Why one earth are you still a Democrat?" 😅 Killin me, Smalls! You aren't political, I know, I know... Nonetheless, much love to you all. 💕💕💕
Echo Charles??
Been all over central California
Awesome podcast. Inspirational. Bought the book!
What happened to echo? I haven’t seen him on the last few podcast of yours ?
1:36:50 To 1:47:24 getting rejected twelve times to become an astronaut. But I'm not a quitter. Would be a good excerpt
I think its the type of person he was as a child. His dad helped him along the way but the type of individual this person was at a young age. Really propelled him to do what he did in his life. IMO
417am wake up 523am start the day with a Jocko Podcast.
What a sad Mexican story.. Glad affirmative action helped you out...
Best Episode. Thank you Willink team.
39:30 to 44:34 would be a good excerpt. The receipt to become an astronaut.
You gotta love this guy. What a great story. 👍
11 rejection letters and he was already a rocket scientist!
Great episode 🇺🇸👍🤘, Mom picked tomatoes all of her young life.
Wow amazing life journey, thank you for sharing.
2:49:33 these borders are what enables you to live in a world where all this was possible there are places where people do not have water to drink , food to eat & there are places where you will be killed if you dont follow their relegion . and try to look at night you can see my county' s border (LOC)😊.
Loved this episode, purchased the book to get the details
everyone should watch a million miles away it’s A biopic about Jose Hernandez and his path from a farm worker to becoming an engineer and an astronaut.
THIS IS A GREAT STORY AMERICA IS A GREAT COUNTRY WE ARE NOT A RACIST COUNTRY GOD BLESS AMERICA...
Wow, I imagined this gentleman looked way different then he does. That's a trip
25:47 to 30:59 The privilege of hard work and knowing your future. Would be a good excerpt.
Amazing story.
