Jeff is one of the deepest guests you’ve ever had on. This man is just amazing and his reflection of life and self is admirable. I hope you have him on again.

I'm not sure if I would say deep, just great at self assessment and realization coupled with BRUTAL HONESTY

In 2015 Jeff and his teammate Ollie put on a shooting course up in Michigan. I was 19 at the time and Jeff was very intense and pretty intimidating. As my dad and I were leaving, they turned to me and said they don’t give out compliments often but I did a good job shooting. I doubt he would remember this but best compliment I ever got lol. He seems happier now.

I’m like 30 mins from Caledonia that’s crazy

I, an absolute POG, initially started catching all these podcasts out of curiosity. I thought I’d be getting a neat lil peek behind the curtain into team life. But I quickly realized that I don’t even care about about the military stuff they talk about. I keep coming back for the incredible life lessons that so deeply resonate with experiences I’ve had, both in the Army and completely unrelated to military life.

F-ing an amazing guest. Jeff expresses deep conversations that most vets and first responders can relate to. Andy this interview was mind-blowing. Thank you!

This is for sure one of the most honest podcasts I’ve heard, great conversation.

Solid podcast. I love hearing you guys talk about the goods and bads of military Special Operations at large and your lessons learned. Please keep doing the good work that you are and sharing those lessons learned. Guys like me get a lot of value from them.

Been waiting for this one for the longest time!! Thank you Jeff and Andy.

Very thankful for your service and sacrifices, Jeff, and those of your Seal team. Oohrah! 😂My son and daughter currently serve in the Navy as a SeaBee and the Air Force as a Hydraulics Specialist. I'm very proud of them and blessed because of this. Everyday I pray for their safety. Glad you're living in your own identity now. You are YOU. You're not what you do for a living. I had to learn that too and it's harder than it seems. Be blessed.

Have been looking forward to this one! Finally, Mr. Nichols is on Cleared Hot!

Damn!!! This is so rad!! Jeff has such a story of overcoming. Loved his interview with Ritland back in the day also!

Jeff's DNA literally has coaching intertwined all through it 🧬 Amazing coach and even better human!

I love that every time the episode starts, its guaranteed that Andy laughs! Great content always!

Great podcast! I'm gonna share this one around for sure. Thanks Andy and Jeff. 👊

Very interesting conversation. I am going to have yo go back and listen to that second half of the podcast again. There is a lot that hit close to home and that I need to think about.

This one was amazing, I’ve heard a lot of interviews from the warriors, but this one was special.

WOW, I have been through so much of what you two discussed, this is a keeper for sure. Thank you for a great Podcast.

very fortunate I went through many of these issues before GWOT. I was very lucky. I do what I can to help vets.

Jeff is just one of those humans living on another level, separated from 99% of people. A wealth of knowledge/experience. Great podcast.

Always appreciate content like this

Andy, you hit another grand slam homer with this pod. Thank you JN for your service 🇺🇸

Great podcast. Thank god for men like this, good Americans

Very smart man. Loved this interview and the one on Mike Drop with him

A Spotify consumer of podcasts here, but this is the best episode you’ve had in a while. Amazing stuff.

It must be a Nichols gene that has no problem telling a boss they’re a coward!! Hahah! Nice work Jeff!! Love it

Fascinating interview, really appreciate the candidness about his shortcomings

This is one of the best episodes, Andy. Jeff’s a great guest!

Amazing podcast with some very powerful messages

Great podcast, solid dude

Damn! This was a very Deep podcast. Thank you.

Rebuilt wrist lead me into a dark 5 years of hard opiate use. On multiple occasions kissing my wife and children in the night fearing I wouldn’t wake in the morning. Simply amazing seeing the sunrise the next morning. Kicked the opiates completely 10/07/2010… clean since! Salute 🫡

Fantastic coach.

I was listening to this on my way to work and as you mentioned Great Wolf Lodge I drove past Great Wolf Lodge 😂. The water slides are pretty cool.

Great interview

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!

The mental health awareness of these vets is impressively high. I know mental health professionals that don’t have the same knowledge these seals have.

Thank you.

Great show and guest

Great information.

Truly exceptional

Heavy podcast from serious warriors. Their is an intensity among the teams that is unparalleled. Consider years of fighting on the battlefield and then attempting to transition to civilian life. I witnessed it when I married a Vietnam Combat Vet that did 2 tours. Very difficult transition and America was not welcoming.😢

Come on down to the Ozarks Jeff! You can get as rural as you want

Can’t wait for the “fight” in April!

49:45 this story is gold

Jeff’s face has that very distinct frogman look to it.

Seems to me Jeff needs to get ahold of the new seals between BUDS and selection. Market his skills as just as valuable as the training they receive.

Good info brother

First class podcast by two first class guys!

Jeff needs a round 2

Small human with retribution list? Damn Arya Stark. I hope your youth training had an '80s montage soundtrack.

I think the fitness program Nichols started to teach the army was called THOR.. really great program

I worked with guys in special forces, using data from VO2 Max testing they did at a facility I worked at as a strength coach, and showed them how they could use it within the Thor program. I got to look at Thor as a whole, and was very impressed. Really an approach that has been well thought out, and it utilizing up to date and knowledge of human performance, and applying it to training modern soldiers.

Here we go

I fuckin love this dude! The first time I heard of THORNE!! Ive been doing well since then!

Is it just me or does Andy's camera look zoomed in? Regardless another Great episode! Thanks Gentleman! 🇺🇲🤘🏼

Anyone know which apparel company sells Jeff's t-shirt?... Awesome interview!! Thx for your service & im extremely thankful you guys protected our country while asked to do the impossible. Thank You!

This was a great fucking podcast

You need to get Chris Van Sant up there.

RIP Gabe. Love ya Jeff. lmao.

Hell yes!

Was Jeff in Evans office in the thumbnail 😊

Looking forward to round 2!

Wow, what a change it sounds like a different person

Thank you for the profound conversation and share. The Shaolin continue to have a martial and noble society with strict rules even within the encroaching CCP. There are tribes in Borneo which have had warrior societies for thousands of years enduring the Japanese, British and Islamic govt. However, it is getting more difficult for them to continue with the advent of surveillance tech everywhere.

It baffles me why we still don't have a "Veterans Reacts to Captain Phillips" with Jeff Nichols, Rob O'Neil, "Mark Owen", and Terry Houin.

Man opiates suck that they work so well and there so terrible I wish that another drug and than he said fucking girls was worse than opiate addiction and withdrawal 8 years of opiates fuck man I whent 18 months and almost died I had withdrawals for a month than I got a hernia and had to have surgery and than I got shingles at around 30 years old I was so done its been 4 years and I'm still working myself. Thanks for the service my man and you got a lot of people that totally get ware your coming from .

Calling a 4 Star Admiral a pussy and a coward... My kind of guy!! Totally relate to that as I did something similar with a full-bird who thought he could bring me up on charges and courts martial my ass. That didn't happen after I got done with him. However, my 13 year career was OVER at that point. BTW, not SF, just a regular Navy OS.

When I joined the Marines, I was grieved when I saw fat marines. It still hurts me every time I see it.

I noticed several years ago that Jeff on a podcast would/could not laugh. Now I see he's laughing.

What this guys shirt

Hold on, what is bear trash? I love 1911s. I am gonna need to know.

Hey Andy...brilliant podcast as always, but you might want to proofread Jeff's bio. I'm not sure what "Navel" Special Warfare entails, but I imagine dudes with guns emerging from the ocean wearing crop-tops lmao

Jeff is a modern day Viking, for sure. He should trace his ancestry. I bet it goes back to 1000 a.d. like mine.

Lotta catchers in the Navy. Shocker
