In this episode of The Mentors Radio, host Dan Hesse talks with General Stanley McChrystal, U.S. Army General (Ret.), Commander of U.S. and International Forces in Afghanistan, Leader of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), co-founder and CEO of McChrystal Group, and noted, best-selling author of several books. A one-of-a-kind leader with a new perspective on collaboration and teamwork, General Stan McChrystal is known for helping organizations tap into the potential of their people to better compete in a complex and interconnected world. Following thirty-four years of service in the U.S. Army—including as commander of U.S. and International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) Afghanistan and commander of the nation's premier counter-terrorism force— General McChrystal delivers his unique blend of on-the- ground experience with decades of leadership to provide practical insight and wisdom to help organizations transform and succeed in challenging, dynamic environments. General McChrystal now leads the McChrystal Group as its founder and CEO, which helps organizations of all types transform how their people, processes, and technology work together to unlock greater speed and adaptability.

What if building a commander deck was more like a risk management assessment? In this episode, Andy ciphers corporate principals of risk management onto the experience of looking at our EDH decks and contemplating how we approach new deck brews. Joined by Kyle, the two explore how deckbuilding decisions like over-reliance on the commander reliance, mana composition, strategy complexity, and more all carry inherent risks. Look for links to deck lists on our lists-from-the-pod channel on Discord. ------------------- ------------------- Music this episode comes courtesy of Makeup and Vanity Set.

What if everything you've been taught about leadership is actually holding your team back? Join me as I sit down with Mike Abrashoff, former Navy commander and bestselling author of "It's Your Ship," who shattered traditional leadership paradigms by asking one simple question: "What do you think?" When Mike took command of USS Benfold, it was near the bottom of Navy performance metrics with an abysmal 8% retention rate. Through his revolutionary leadership approach of empowering his crew rather than controlling them, he transformed it into the best ship in the Navy—and his insights are even more crucial for today's executives than they were two decades ago.In this episode, you will be able to:Learn how to create a culture of ownership where team members step up and drive performance without micromanagementDiscover how to break free from command-and-control leadership that drives away top talent in today's workplaceUncover the counterintuitive strategy that allowed Mike to reduce his workload by 70% while dramatically improving performanceMike's profound wisdom about "excellence without arrogance" offers exactly what today's leaders need—connect with me on LinkedIn or subscribe to my Power Presence Academy newsletter for more insights on leading with less ego and more soul.Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode HERE.More About Mike Abrashoff Mike Abrashoff is at the center of one of the most remarkable modern day stories of organizational transformation.  At 36, he was selected to be Commander of USS Benfold and was the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific fleet.   The challenges of this underachieving destroyer were staggering, with low morale and the highest turnover rate in the Navy.  Few thought the ship could improve. Yet 12 months later it was ranked #1 in performance -- using the same crew.  How did Mike do it?  By replacing command and control leadership with commitment and cohesion. The lesson was clear:  Leadership matters and culture is everything. Since leaving the Navy, Mike has worked with over 1200 organizations instilling leadership initiatives at every level – achieving phenomenal change in unexpected places.  Leaders especially identify with Mike being accountable for results in an environment where he couldn't make the rules.  He focused on the one thing he could influence: his crew's attitude, because culture is the ultimate competitive weapon for any organization.  That's why Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and others have cited Mike's story.  It's also why Mike is so popular with such a wide rangeConnect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @janetioliJanet is the founder of Leadership Presence.

Episode 377: 

Today on the Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine is diving deep into the first of the seven commitments necessary to forge elite teams—--courage. Mark, drawing from his Navy SEAL background, breaks down the foundational importance of courage—--and why it serves as a crucial gateway to the higher energies of growth, acceptance, and love.    Mark reveals how courage is not just about charging forward, but rather about the willingness to face our deepest fears, embrace risk, and refuse to stay in our comfort zone. He provides actionable strategies for cultivating courage, like practicing the art of letting go, or simulating challenging scenarios through what he calls “reality-based training”.    Mark candidly reflects on the ongoing struggle with ego, vulnerability, and the power of forgiveness. Delving into the importance of aligning one's daily actions with their greater purpose and principles, Mark highlights how leading yourself and others through adversity sometimes means walking away from old environments and relationships.  Key Takeaways:  Training For Risk: Learn how embracing risk means preparing for it—-facing your fears and building competence.   Living By Your Personal Ethos: Realize how true transformation comes from aligning your actions with your deepest values—-even when it's hard.    Courage as Inaction: Note that courage can be subtle—as much as it's about action, many times it's about restraint—-having the wherewithal NOT to speak or react to a situation.    The Importance of Self-Reflection: Discover that in order to live by your personal ethos, you must UNDERSTAND what your personal ethos is. Doing so requires reflection on what you value, and what you won't compromise on.   Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling author with PhD in Global Leadership and Change who has dedicated his life to unlocking human potential through integrated training in mental toughness, leadership, and physical readiness. Mark's journey began in New York City, where his fascination with eastern philosophy and martial arts set the stage for a transformative path. After a successful stint as a consultant at PriceWaterhouse Coopers, he made the pivotal decision to join the Navy SEALs at 25. Over two decades of service, Mark commanded critical missions globally, retiring as a Commander in 2011. Mark has trained elite organizations including Google, Nike, SpaceX, Boeing, Harvard University, The Olympics, YPO, and many others.Co-founding ventures such as SEALFIT, Unbeatable Mind, LLC, and Coronado Brewing Company have allowed Mark to blend his military expertise with entrepreneurial spirit. SEALFIT, born from his SEAL training insights, revolutionized physical and mental conditioning, impacting diverse groups from executives to athletes.Inspired by his military service, Mark founded the Courage Foundation to support veterans in holistic healing and restoration of purpose. Advocating for mental resilience and compassionate leadership, he aims to impact 100 million lives, fostering a more connected and courageous world.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-second episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the former Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guests are the command team for 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne). COL Patrick “Pat” Nelson is the Commander of 7th SFG(A). CSM Adam Dunn is the Command Sergeant Major of 7th SFG(A). And CW5 Jose Villarreal is the Command Chief Warrant of 7th SFG(A).   The 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), known by its call-sign “Red Empire” and affectionately referred to as “La Familia,” is one of the most storied units within U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, 7th SFG(A) has a rich legacy of conducting Unconventional Warfare, Foreign Internal Defense, and Counterinsurgency missions—particularly in Latin America, where it has maintained deep strategic partnerships for decades. The group played a key role in Cold War-era advisory missions, post-9/11 operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and continues to remain at the forefront of global Special Operations Forces (SOF) engagements. Its motto, “Lo Que Sea, Cuando Sea, Donde Sea”—Spanish for “Anything, Anytime, Anywhere”—embodies its agile, mission-first ethos. Today, 7th SFG(A) is leading the way in integrating Special Forces capabilities into Large-Scale Combat Operations, leveraging its regional expertise, cultural fluency, and tactical excellence to shape the battlefield in support of joint force commanders.   This episode explores the evolving role of U.S. Army Special Forces—commonly known as Green Berets—in Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). The conversation emphasizes how Special Forces must adapt from their traditional fast and flexible mindset to operate with greater precision, depth, and coordination within a conventional division fight. The leaders from 7th Special Forces Group discuss lessons learned from their groundbreaking Combat Training Center (CTC) rotation, which required ODAs to integrate with division-level planning and synchronize across time, space, and domains. The challenge of transitioning from unconventional warfare to supporting a Joint Forcible Entry and operating in support of division commanders is central, as Special Forces teams are often forward-deployed and must now shape the battlefield not just tactically, but operationally—anticipating information requirements and transitions before a fight begins.   Additionally, the episode identifies specific points of friction and critical learning moments. These include the challenge of synchronizing SOF timelines with conventional unit operations, the sustainment burdens in contested environments, and the complexity of operating in terrain saturated with sensors, drones, and electronic warfare. Best practices included conducting a full Leader Training Program (LTP) to understand the conventional planning process, refining staff-level battle drills and MDMP execution, and committing to humble, self-aware learning. The leaders also stress the importance of strategic relationships—both with conventional forces and international partners—as a long-term enabler of influence and access. In LSCO, they note, tactical decisions can have strategic consequences, and the margins for error are razor-thin. Success for Green Berets in future conflict will depend on their ability to master the basics, think in depth, and execute with discipline and precision, in lockstep with the broader joint force.   Part of S12 “The JIIMs of JRTC: Working with Our Unified Action Partners” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Successful teams don't just happen. In this week's episode of The Unbeatable Mind, Mark is going solo (with his daughter Catherine joining for an insightful Q & A), to break down his acclaimed “seven commitments” model for building elite teams.    Drawing from his extensive Navy SEAL experience, Mark dives into the principles of courage, trust, respect, growth, resilience, excellence, and alignment. He explores why true elite teams aren't about being better people, but by fostering intentional behaviours and growth.    Mark discusses how resistance to change can be a common pitfall in the building of strong teams, and the power of collective development not only in work, but in life. In order to achieve growth as a collective, honest communication and respect are paramount.    Key Takeaways:  The Fundamentality of Courage: Listen as Mark draws on personal experience from the SEALs, to illustrate how true courage within teams isn't about bravado, but humility.    Growth Is Non-Negotiable: Realize that for a team to truly become elite, it requires constant growth from every member. When personal growth slows, so does the growth of the collective.    The Role of Physical Health in Teams: Discover how the most successful teams are ones that recognize their body and mind as one integrated system. Physical performance affects mental performance as individuals and collectively.    Resistance To Change: Recognize how even though resistance to change is completely normal, for those on a path of true growth, it's ultimately futile.    Mark Divine, Ph.D., is the host of The Mark Divine Show, a solo podcast focused on developing mental toughness, emotional resilience, and intuitive leadership. A Navy SEAL veteran and leadership expert, Mark graduated as Honor Man of SEAL BUD/S class 170 and served 20 years in the SEAL teams, retiring as Commander in 2011. He is also the founder of SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind, programs designed to enhance physical, mental, and emotional performance. Mark holds a Ph.D. in Global Leadership and Change and has practiced Zen meditation and breathwork for over 30 years. His unique approach to leadership blends holistic, whole-person development with a focus on unlocking human potential. He has authored several bestselling books, including Unbeatable Mind and The Way of the SEAL. Mark lives in Encinitas, CA, with his wife, Sandy, their children, spirited grandchildren, and dogs, and is driven by a mission to inspire 100 million people to develop greater mental toughness, intuition, and compassion.   Mark's Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdivine/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@markdivineshow  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/RealMarkDivine/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sealfit/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/markdivineleadership/    Sponsors and Promotions: Qualia:   To feel in your prime WAY longer than you ever thought possible, try Qualia Senolytic up to 50% off right now at qualialife.com/divine15, and code DIVINE15 at checkout for an extra 15% off.

Marat Gabidullin, born in Siberia and raised in Uzbekistan, served in Soviet airborne forces until 1994, then spent three years in prison for shooting a crime boss. After security work in Russia, he joined the Wagner Group in 2015, rose to lead a reconnaissance company, and was badly wounded near Palmyra in 2016. He later advised the ISIS Hunters Battalion and fought at Khasham, but quit Wagner in 2019, briefly ran a Redut detachment in Syria, and left disillusioned. Gabidullin's 2022 memoir denounced Wagner and Russia's invasion of Ukraine; he now lives in France. Journalist and researcher John Lechner reports from conflict zones and specializes in Russian PMCs. His book Death Is Our Business (Bloomsbury, 2025) charts the rise of Wagner, following earlier work such as Beginner's Chechen and upcoming Circassian and Sango language texts. A former policy analyst for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and an emerging-markets banker at Deutsche Bank and Lazard, Lechner holds degrees from Harvard (Slavic Languages) and Georgetown (MSFS). Fluent in five languages and conversant in several others, he is a recognized expert on Russian foreign policy and has written for The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Foreign Policy. He lives in Washington, DC.
