Trust. It's yet another essential ingredient in building and sustaining elite teams. This week on The Mark Divine Show, Mark does a deep dive into the art and science of trust, drawing from his rich experience with the Navy SEALs, and his book “Staring Down The Wolf”.    Mark shares tales that unveil the true nature of leadership when things go sideways, and unpacks the three foundational pillars of trust—transparency, humility, and relentless follow-through. He discusses how authentic leadership is forged by facing down fears—-particularly the fear of failure.    Using insights from the military and his own personal growth journey, Mark issues a call to action for leaders everywhere to look inward, trust themselves first, and lead with character and courage.   Key Takeaways:  Relentless Follow-Through: Understand that trust is cemented when leaders do what they say, support their teams, and make sure crucial lessons lead to real action and positive change.   Facing The Fear of Failure: Realize that  leaders who are afraid of failure tend to become perfectionists, procrastinators, or careerists, which ultimately weakens teams and limits growth. Authenticity Matters: Recognize that staying authentic, consistent, and operating from humility will spread trust throughout your team.   Trust is Critical in Team Performance: Discover how trust acts as the “glue” for elite teams, and the consequences of lacking it can be mediocrity and underperformance.   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.

This week on The Unbeatable Mind, host Mark Divine dives into another key commitment to forging elite, high performance teams—-respect. It holds the power to unlock massive potential, both in ourselves and those we lead.    Drawing from his Navy SEAL experience, Mark shares compelling stories of leadership, integrity, and collaboration. He highlights what true respect looks like in action, whether it is welcoming new players like the Marines into the Special Operations community, or making tough, high-integrity decisions under pressure.    He provides valuable insight into cultivating authenticity, clarity, and trust, which are the building blocks of genuine respect—-and details why these “soft skills” are true superpowers in today's fast paced world.    Key Takeaways:  Radical Authenticity: Understand why the most respected leaders lead with humility, admit when they're wrong, and always stay real. This creates genuine connection and fosters a culture of mutual respect. Clarity Conquers Pressure: Discover why staying crystal clear on what your values are even when facing political or organizational pressure is key to earning respect. The Shadow Side of Respect: Recognize that true respect comes from embracing vulnerability, owning your flaws, and being transparent about your challenges and setbacks. Respect Leads to Trust & Courage: Notice that by embodying integrity, authenticity, and clarity, leaders create a foundation for organizational trust and collective courage.   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.

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.

Welcome to another episode of The Unbeatable Mind podcast with Mark Divine. This week, we're continuing the journey through Five Mountain Development. In this episode, the spotlight is on the Emotional Mountain, often a stumbling block for many on their personal growth journey. Mark shares his personal experiences and insights, revealing how emotional development is integral to overall well-being. From therapy to mindfulness practices, he explains the significance of understanding and overcoming deep-seated emotional patterns. Whether you're a seasoned seeker or new to personal development, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice on navigating the emotional terrain.    Tune in as we continue on this transformative journey towards self-discovery and empowerment.   Key Topics Include: Emotions as Physical-Mental Integration: Mark emphasizes that emotions are felt experiences combining bodily sensations with mental interpretations. They cannot be separated from physical and mental development, requiring a holistic approach to emotional growth. Shadow Work & Family Systems: Through personal examples, Mark illustrates how emotional patterns from family systems often remain hidden in our "background of obviousness," requiring conscious work to recognize and transform unhealthy emotional programming from childhood. Multiple Emotional Expressions: Emotions manifest in various ways - physiologically (body sensations), expressively (physical responses), mentally (thought patterns), behaviorally (habitual actions), and evaluatively (intuitive feelings). Understanding these different expressions is key to emotional development.   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.

In this continuation of his discussion on the Mental Mountain, Mark Divine expands on his earlier episode about mental training within his Five Mountains framework (Physical, Mental, Emotional, Intuitional, and Spiritual). He delves deeper into various meditation techniques and mental training practices, drawing from his personal experiences with Zen training and military preparation.    Throughout the episode, Mark outlines several key mental skills, including arousal control through breathing, attention control using box-breathing techniques, and the development of mindfulness.

This is the first step towards greater mental freedom.

In his second episode focusing on the Five Mountains of Development, Mark Divine builds off the foundational pillar of physical health to dive into the importance of mental training—-AKA “The Mental Mountain”. Mark outlines how conventional learning methods often fail to unlock one's true potential—an idea he's experienced firsthand during his journey from traditional education to discovering Zen Buddhism. Throughout his deep exploration of mental development, Mark guides listeners towards greater concentration, and the ability to perceive information beyond the confines of traditional thinking.  Key Takeaways: Going Beyond Traditional Education: Listen to Mark recount his journey from traditional education to focusing on mental development. No more would he focus on cramming knowledge, but rather, enhancing his cognitive abilities. Power of Meditation: It's not just about stillness—but rather breaking free from conditioned patterns and achieving what Mark calls—”mental freedom”!  Enhancing Creativity and Healing: Discover the advanced skills of visualization and imagination, both of which are practical tools for not only healing past traumas but unlocking creativity.  Achieving Mindfulness: Learn about the advanced technique of mindfulness— a profound state where you recognize you are not your thoughts, thus shifting your self-awareness and opening the potential for direct perception.  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.

There's many different aspects to personal growth. One can grow mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, or even intuitionally. However, without taking charge of one's own evolution, personal development can seem an impossibility. On this week's Unbeatable Mind podcast, host Mark Divine introduces the concept of “Five Mountain Development”, a holistic approach to personal growth with specific focus on vertical integration. Mark highlights the importance of moving beyond horizontal learning in order to achieve transformation on a fundamental level.    Key Takeaways: Vertical Vs. Horizontal Development: Discover how unlike horizontal development, vertical development doesn't just focus on acquiring new skills—-but on fundamentally changing who you are. Five Mountain Framework: Unlock your full potential by understanding the comprehensive “Five Mountain Model”, a framework in which to recognize and improve the physical, mental, emotional, intuitional, and spiritual aspects of the self.  Holistic Development: Recognize the importance of integrating the Five Mountains, encompassing each domain to achieve maximum transformation.  Role of Nature and Teamwork in Development: Realize the significance of time in nature and healthy sunlight exposure as well as team support in one's personal development journey.  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.

Fear. It's a pervasive issue for many. However, on this week's Unbeatable Mind podcast, host Mark Divine takes a deep dive into the impact fear has on people's lives and how it is propagated in our culture. Mark breaks down common acronyms such as F.E.A.R (False Expectations Appearing Real), and discusses strategies for managing realistic fears as well as fears rooted in childhood trauma and primordial anxieties. Mark traverses his way through a myriad of daily practices that can help mitigate fear and discusses the difference between rational and irrational fears so listeners can identify the two, and avoid being debilitated by either.    Key Takeaways: Rational vs. Irrational Fears: Identify the differences between irrational fears (like the fear of how others perceive you), vs. rational fears (like fears based on current events), and learn how to avoid becoming debilitated by either.  Deep Rooted Fears: Recognize the necessity for emotional work in dealing with fears rooted in childhood trauma.  Fear in Modern Society: Discover how prevalent fear instigated by current events is and how fear mongering can be a tool of control by governments.  Importance of Individual Control: Learn how taking control of your own mind and environment can be a powerful tool to incite collective change.   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.

He is spent 20 years with the Navy SEALs and is a business entrepreneur and a New York Times Bestselling author! In this exciting episode, he discusses how to get to know yourself, knowing how to breathe, how to focus, and how to control your thoughts. We hope you enjoy listening to today's fascinating interview with Mark Divine! Mark Divine Speaker Bio:  Mark Divine is an entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author, philanthropist, and one of the world's top leadership and coaching experts.  After a successful 20-year career as a Navy SEAL and SEAL Commander, Mark was hired by the Navy to create a nationwide coaching and leadership program for the SEALs. The bold goal of this program was to give the SEALs the best leadership and mental-management tools in the world – to help them forge unbeatable SEAL teams that achieve mission success in the most stressful, challenging environments on earth.  Divine's leadership and coaching program for the SEALs was so effective that it's now being used outside of the Navy by top CEOs, Fortune 100 companies, USA Olympics, elite universities, major league sports franchises, celebrities, and successful individuals from all over the world.  Mark Divine is the author of 5 best-selling books, including his latest book Staring Down The Wolf: 7 Leadership Commitments That Forge Elite Teams. He hosts a #1-ranked podcast on iTunes (Mark Divine's Unbeatable Mind) and is the founder of 5 successful companies: Unbeatable Mind, SEALFIT, NavySEALs.com, CrossFit, and the award-winning Coronado Brewing Company in California.  Divine believes that any individual, team, or company can unlock 20X performance with the right tools and training. His company, Unbeatable Mind, helps millions of people achieve their full potential in life and business through their free training resources and advanced training programs for leaders, corporate teams, coaching professionals, and high-achieving individuals.  As a philanthropist, Mark Divine founded the Courage Foundation to help our wounded Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS). Recently Divine and his Courage Foundation team set a world record by completing over 22 million burpees to raise awareness, support, and funding for our Veteran heroes. Mark's story While getting his MBA at New York University Stern School of Business and working toward becoming a CPA, Mark began meditating under the auspices of his martial arts instructor, who was also a Zen practitioner. He discovered he was physically amenable to the meditation practice and started training daily. Six to nine months later, he began experiencing intense flow states and sensing energy moving through his body. He also started coming out of meditations feeling that he was accessing who he truly was and bringing back information. He saw that he had been following someone else's script and understood that he was not supposed to be the CPA, MBA financial guy making a ton of money.  Finding his calling Mark began journaling and asking questions about his true calling before meditating. Then, after meditating, he began sensing the idea that he was meant to be a warrior. Through that, he learned that one's calling in life is not a job or career. It is what you are, and it has an archetypal energy to it. Becoming a warrior The notion of the warrior kept coming back to him. So he accepted it and began to imagine different ways of becoming a warrior. When he saw a poster in a Navy recruitment office about the Navy SEALs, he knew that would be his path to becoming a warrior. He decided to finish his MBA and CPA studies and apply what he had learned with the SEALs. A sense of certainty Mark applied for the SEALs but did not get his hopes up because they only take two civilians a year into Officer Candidate School and Navy SEAL training. After about nine months of visualizing himself as a Navy seal, a sense of certainty washed over him. Two or three days later, the recruiter called to tell him he was accepted. Visualization  The essence of visualization is creating a “future memory” by tapping into who you are and focusing on the purpose of what you are doing and how you will use it to serve others. The more you focus on that future memory, the more you create a magnetic pull, and the more real whatever you visualize becomes. The Mind Gym After being accepted by the Navy, Mark knew he needed to do everything in his power; physically, mentally, and emotionally, to get through the SEAL training. So, inspired by the book Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, he developed a visualization practice to help him succeed. He later developed that practice even further to become the Mind Gym. The Mind Gym is a mental place you go into to do meditation and visualization. In it, you build an imaginary sacred place where you are held and protected, and your mind is held steady. You can invite imaginary advisors and your future self to join you and share information in your Mind Gym.  SEALFIT After getting married, Mark transitioned into the reserve SEAL teams and launched SEALFIT to teach the skills he had learned to other SEALs, operatives, business professionals, and corporate teams. The Big Four Mark refers to the skills he developed, refined, and taught as the Big Four. When practiced for 20 minutes daily, those skills help people reconstruct their lives and achieve goals they previously believed were insurmountable.  They are: Breath Control (Box breathing) Mental control (With positive thoughts and internal dialogue) Imagery (Imagining or visualizing the desired outcome) Focusing wholly on the task at hand and breaking it down into micro-goals The SEALFIT Academy Mark created a 30-day in-house training program called the SEALFIT Academy to teach his Big Four skills to the “Western Warriors” who wanted to learn them. Out of that, he developed another three complete training programs: SEAL FIT, Kokoro Yoga, and Unbeatable Mind. Those programs are so effective that 90% of the Navy SEAL candidates who complete them get through the Navy SEAL training!  Mark's Six Pillars To overcome the training programs of consumerism, corporatism, and social media, Mark teaches his trainees to notice where they get conditioned and how to deconstruct that conditioning. To do that, they must create healthy habits around nutrition, sleep, exercise, time in nature, stress management, and community practices. He calls these the Six Pillars.  Mental toughness People develop mental toughness when they learn how to control their thoughts and emotions. That can be achieved by practicing mindfulness and meditation. The future To overcome unhealthy societal conditioning and create a new and non-violent culture, we need to take back control of our lives. Mark recommends doing that positively. So, we should not fight back against the government or corporate interests. Rather, we should ignore all the negativity and violence, develop and cultivate a positive mindset, and have a positive view of the world and the future.  The Courage Foundation Mark created the Courage Foundation about five or six years ago to raise awareness about the high suicide rate among veterans, to support veteran organizations, and to help veterans with PTSD.

Mark also discusses his vision of the future - where we're heading with the breakdown of institutions, and the incarnation and evolution of those here to support the bigger mission and movement of humanity. This is an exceptional and wide-ranging, philosophical discussion with a thought leader, and a compassionate warrior sage. Enjoy!

In this episode, Ryan talks with Mark Divine - Entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author, philanthropist, and one of the world's top leadership and coaching experts about the power of being a yoga and mediation practitioner. They discuss:  The powerful and outer results that come from consistently doing the inner work.  Mark shares how as a special operator having a seated meditation practice was more difficult so he began to find ways to integrate his practice into his daily activities. Mark shares how mediation transformed his life and how his personal practice has been the guiding force to find clarity and next steps in his life and business.  How you can reframe failure as redirection and the understanding that when you truly align with your calling, the only time it's difficult is when you are misaligned or off the path.  You can have all of the vision and plans but you must be able to allow the thing to flow effortlessly, rather than constantly pushing. This takes being able to master the non-action side of action starts with being able to overcome the inertia of your mind.  More About Mark:  After a successful 20 year career as a Navy SEAL and SEAL Commander, Mark was hired by the Navy to create a nationwide coaching and leadership program for the SEALs. The bold goal of this program was to give the SEALs the best leadership and mental-management tools in the world – to help them forge unbeatable SEAL teams that achieve mission success in the most stressful, challenging environments on earth.

When whistleblowers have been tried under the Espionage Act, the US government has successfully barred them telling the jury about what it is they are on trial for exposing. It's clear the US government is afraid of juries hearing about the realities of drone strikes, mass surveillance, torture, and other abuses of power. When war crimes are exposed, the government puts the truth teller in jail. The Belmarsh Tribunal, named for the notorious British prison where Julian Assange is being held, puts the real criminals on the docket. On February 25, 2022,  the latest session of the Belmarsh Tribunal was held in New York City and featured Primary Sources host & DRAD policy director, Chip Gibbons, as well as Margaret Kunstler, Srecko Horvat, Jeffrey Sterling, Deborah Hrbek, Nancy Hollander & Mohamed Ould Slahi as speakers, among others. The event was sponsored by Defending Rights & Dissent, Progressive International, the Courage Foundation, The Intercept, and other organizations.In this bonus episode of the Primary Sources Podcast, hear the powerful voices of the Belmarsh Tribunal.

In this special Veteran's Day episode, our expert guest is Mark Divine. US Navy Seals are America's toughest warriors. The training to become a Navy Seal is grueling, and less than 15% make it through the nine-month selection process called Basic Underwater Demolition Seal Training (BUDs), an unparalleled test of physical stamina, mental toughness, and emotional resilience. Mark not only made it through BUDs at 26, but he graduated as the honor man, the #1 honor rank in a class among 170. Even more striking, his entire original boat crew graduated with him that day—a one in a million occurrence that did not happen by accident. It was the first of many elite teams Mark went on to build. Through Mark's innovative SEAL Fit and Unbeatable Mind training systems, including the Hell Week Simulation Kokoro Crucible, he provides the physical, mental, and emotional tools to allow not 15% but 90% of his trainees to lead and succeed in the most demanding training in the world. Mark's family had groomed him to go into business, and he was working as a certified public accountant. But he was also an athlete and, while working, he was trying to maintain his physical training. He took up martial arts and found his first master, who began to train him in zen through martial arts. Through meditation, Mark found his purpose: to become a warrior and a leader, and to do this by becoming a Navy SEAL. Mark picked up five critical skills through working with his mentor: Breath control Deep concentration Visualization Radical focus on micro-goals Focusing on helping others overcome their struggles   Mark Divine has founded the Courage Foundation to help vets recovering from depression and to prevent the staggering number of suicides every year. He works with them emotionally, therapeutically, and physically to help them recover from the traumas they've experienced.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Everything that you're searching for in life lies within you, and the way to find that is to slow down, to take control of your conscious process of breathing, and then let the breath bridge between the physical outer world and then into your mind and then your spirit. Just follow the breath in, and then once you're in there's no going back. You'll find your answers, you'll find your answers about your purpose in life, why you're here, and what you can do about it. And just take action.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Duke Pieper was a youth hockey phenom who seemed destined for a long career on the ice. On the night of his first high school varsity game as a freshman, Duke suffered a cavernous hemangioma, better known as a brain bleed, and was ultimately given a 5 percent change to live.  In his compelling book, I'm Alive: Courage, Hope, and a Miracle, Duke recounts his difficult and courageous struggle to survive, battling months of paralysis, multiple surgeries, massive nerve damage, and countless other setbacks. During our conversation, Duke opens up about the difficulty of giving up the sport he loves, living with physical limitations, and his plans for the future.  Be sure to check out what Duke is up to by visiting the Pieper Hope and Courage Foundation.

The Courage Foundation is an international organisation that supports those who risk life or liberty to make significant contributions to the historical record. They fundraise for the legal and public defence of specific individuals who fit these criteria and are subject to serious prosecution or persecution. They also campaign for the protection of truthtellers and the public's right to know generally. When powerful institutions retreat into secrecy, they prevent proper oversight and accountability. Whistleblowers become the public's regulators and reporters of last resort. Because whistleblowers are a vital link in this chain, they are also vulnerable. Courage Foundation upholds the principle of public access by aiding the whistleblowers who make discovery possible, forcing their cases into the public sphere and funding important cases in the courts. By protecting whistleblowers, a culture of support for radical transparency, adversarial journalism and democratic accountability is promoted. Courage prepares legal defense funds to defend whistleblowers in court and campaigns for their freedom and protection. By keeping the names and circumstances of these people in the public discourse, Courage can help prevent the next whistleblower from being the next political prisoner. Naomi Colvin of Courage Foundation joins us for a review of 2017 and an idea of what to expect going forward from the never shrinking power of the state. Official campaigns are ongoing for Lauri Love, Reality Winner, Barrett Brown, Chelsea Manning, Jeremy Hammond, Edward Snowden and others.
