COT:
Sharing recent Jocko podcast topic, Decisive Victory.

1 side/team/person overwhelming victory
Sounds great, something everyone wants, right?

Be careful of seeking that type of victory in life, is this really what’s called for? All the time?

Do you need decisive victory over your M, your kids, your family, co-workers? Does that do more harm than good?

Rather, Long term strategic thinking, find the Win Win.
How can win without least amount of negative impact? What minimum force can just to win?
