That relates to any field of life no matter if you want to be a surgeon or mma fighter. Thanks God there is the Internet, so we can at least have those podcasts with guy like him. Thank you Lex, thank you John

This is probably one of the absolute best and valuable podcasts I’ve listened to. Everyone can apply many of these values/teaching spoken here. This is just pure GOLD.

Even as a listener with zero martial arts experience and virtually no past interest in combat sports until I began listening to Rogan and your podcast, my most favorite episodes have been with GSP and this one. The depth of knowledge explored, the tremendous command of language, and the captivating personalities of these two guests is top notch. Thank you for these gems.

Thank you Lex, for taking me to school every week.

Based on John’s choice to wear probably the most fancy/formal attire he owns, I think it’s safe to say that Lex has now officially been confirmed as Rogan’s successor on KZread.

I've never really heard of this guy, but what comes out of his mouth is absolutely captivating. He's extremely wise and thoughtful and articulate. Amazing guest, thank you both.

I've been down the Danaher rabbit hole all week this is the perfect collaboration!

Thank you! I have not yet even listened to the whole show yet, but I've started looking differently at my training and it's fascinating! Interesting and very practical whilst also on a "higher level ". Amazing! Thank you!

It's nice to see Lex having more of a conversation in this one, for which I think Danaher can be thanked for pressing him. I know everybody has their own style, and as great as they are, sometimes these podcasts feel a bit like a formal interview.

I have seen interesting interviews with Danaher, this is by far the most interesting I have ever seen.

Best John Danaher interview that exist. Thank you so much Lex for this great interview. We could write a book out of this interview.

I've listened to probably 30-40 Lex podcasts and most of them are really good. But this one tops them all by a long long margin. Mr Danaher's ability to take complex problems, break them apart and give meaningful deep answers is just astonishing. Thank you!

This man is so intelligent. The way he breaks down the training and drilling aspects is making me reevaluate what I’m doing. I definitely feel like I need to be further along than where I am. And he’s absolutely right, learn to escape terrible spots to gain the confidence to take risks.

Danaher seems like he has truly realized the logic of brutality on a level beyond most coaches I've listened to speak on technique across the various combat sports.

That was quite easily one of the best podcasts ever. And John was barely even scratching the surface of what seems to be deeply considered thoughts. Wow.

These two men are geniuses. I think they explore ideas together well too. Love from NZ JD - you're the man x

I’ve always said this. You always know a good listen by the questions they ask. The thoughtfulness of John’s questions indicates his listens very well, not just speaks very well.

When Lex asks John a question about an Ai that couple possibly beat Gordon Ryan, I can’t help but think that these are the exact two minds that are capable of building it. And I would also watch the hell of that movie if it ever gets made lol

Gordon is more tense in his training sessions than he is in competitions because most of his teammates are better than the people he competes against. - That is so insane 😂

I've watched so many danaher interviews and this was by far the best. Lex did an amazing job at going to the deep areas and questions while making this feel as lighthearted and fun as a chat around a campfire.

@lexfridman What does it take to get a second interview with you and John? This is one of the best podcast episodes I've ever heard in my life.

The best Danaher interview ever put out! Thanks Lex for asking all the questions we've wanted and have more insight into Danahers training methods and him in general

This episode blew my brain out. I will need to rewatch it several times.

Lex, your observation is so on point and also very eloquently stated “it’s tragic and beautiful that what makes things amazing is that they end” well done.

The most captivating pod Ive ever had the pleasure of listening to. Thanks Lex and thank you Professor Danaher!!!

Ah Lex, you are my favorite podcast hands down.

"There's lots of different ways you can build the cyborg Gordon Ryan." This..... this is the content I seek.

I don't even train BJJ but I love to listen to John talk and explain it to me. That's how much I appreciate John.

Amazing interview, Lex! Your questions were extremely well though. You were able to take us into the mind of John Danaher, whom I see as a modern day samurai. This could be my favorite interview/podcast of all time.

Arguably the two greatest minds who practice Jiu Jitsu on the same podcast. What a gift to get this content.

Been looking forward to this, it's gonna get me through a night shift in the UK tonight. Thanks gents.

I am not an athlete but I found this content extremely useful and enlightening . These ideas can be applied to mastery of any skill in life. There is also a philosophy communicated here that I find compelling . Great interview.

That's by far the best conversation I've ever seen! Tks Lex for bringing John to the podcast.

I was about to look at one of Danaher's technique videos, while I eat and get a notification that he is on your podcast for almost 4-hour of conversation, the timing!

I was glued to the Yaron Brook/Michael Malice interview with Lex. I commented that it was the best podcast ever. That's because I hadn't seen this yet. This is the best podcast ever. Having said that - can't wait for Lex to prove me wrong again.

Fascinating discussion about seonage! It was intriguing that Lex stated he favours standing seonage. It was very interesting when John described the increased efficacy of the technique if dropping seo is utilised, I was hoping he would. A pleasure to listen to such an in depth evaluation of the one arm shoulder throw. Thanks!
