The absolute greatest TV series ever, and below is the greatest scene ever.
LT Dike freezes. Men dying. Mission collapsing.
CPT Winters doesn’t hesitate — relieves the connected officer on the spot and sends in LT Speirs, the hardened warrior who charges through hell and wins the fight.
A dead MIT professor accidentally destroyed the $25 billion executive coaching industry with one hour of lecture, and ten million people have already watched him do it.
He filmed it once in January 2018 and died eighteen months later.
Executive coaches charge sixteen thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in that one hour for free.
His name was Patrick Winston. He ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and wrote the AI textbook every computer science major in the world read for thirty years.
Every January for four decades, he gave a lecture called "How to Speak."
His entire framework fits on a napkin.
Do not read. Be in the image. Keep images simple. Eliminate clutter. Start with an empathetic connection. End with a punch line the audience can repeat over dinner. Never open with a joke. Never end with "thank you."
That last rule alone has probably cost the executive coaching industry a hundred million dollars.
"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."
That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Winston believed it strongly enough to spend fifty years teaching computer scientists how to talk.
Founders spend $80,000 on an MBA and then hire a communications coach to teach them the same material Winston filmed once for free. Engineers write brilliant code and lose promotions to teammates who watched this lecture on the train.
The lecture is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The textbook is free on his page.
Winston died in 2019. Almost none of the ten million viewers have actually implemented the four rules on the napkin.
The napkin is free. The willingness to actually use it in your next meeting is the entire edge.
The answer is in this video. Don't miss this gem.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Marine Joey Jones, who deployed to Afghanistan and lost his legs there, just ERUPTED after the fake news amplified complaints about "food" and "conditions" on the Abraham Lincoln
"To SIT THERE and say that it was terrible because you had a 'corn dog and a hot dog,' I would have traded a BLOCK OF C4 to the TALIBAN for a hot dog about July 2010!"
"To that little kid and whoever raised him, Lord HELP YOU if you ever go into a hot war on the ground like MILLIONS of Americans! That I can only THINK what a World War II veteran sitting there who's lucid enough today to see that and think about the six-month journey home from fighting the toughest war we've EVER fought after being there for four years was thinking, listening to him COMPLAIN like that."
"You know what I ate in Afghanistan for 6 months on a burner with using a little burner? I ate ramen noodles. I had to pull the seasoning packet out because that's too much sodium in it and I put tuna packets in it. That's what I ate!"
"How WEAK are you on TV complaining about tuna and noodles? I'm sorry! YOU volunteered to serve your country."
"You can come back and get out of the military and do what all of these Democrat veterans and COMPLAIN about it and make commercials and be a SELLOUT if you want to and come up with a new way of doing things!"
"The last Democrat president that I remember that was deploying troops, Barack Obama had me going to Iraq on patrol bases for 15 months at a time, eating MREs!"
"I'm sorry, but you're a sitting DUCK on a patrol base in Iraq, in Afghanistan, a heck of a lot more than you are on a fortified Navy ship sitting in the water!"
"it makes me fume. If he sat there and said we didn't have any clean water to drink, we couldn't take a shower. I mean, well, I didn't get to take a shower for about six months, but still, you know, something that has something to do with hygiene?!"
"You know, like getting sick, there was a scurvy outbreak and, the guys that were missing legs were only giving wooden pegs instead of metal ones? Then maybe I might have some sympathy!"
The fake news is COMPLICIT!
