seven commitments outlined in his book, Staring Down The Wolf—--alignment. Throughout the episode, Mark peels back the layers of what alignment really means on the battlefield, in life, and in business.    Mark demonstrates how elite teams thrive when they are radically transparent, relentlessly communicative, and connected to a shared vision. He highlights real-life stories from SEAL team leaders and methods such as daily huddles that break down silos and speed up innovation and execution.    Along the way, Mark makes clear that alignment is about far more than just meetings or sharing information. It's about cultivating an environment where vulnerability is encouraged—-where every team member has the courage to communicate openly, rally around the mission, and keep themselves radically aligned for success.     Key Takeaways:  Relentless, Transparent Communication: Alignment can't come without honest and open communication. Open information sharing and the sharing of visions, challenges, and where support is needed accelerate team trust and execution.    Focus Amidst Information Overload: Recognize that while staying informed is crucial, true alignment comes from narrowing one's focus. It's important to ask: does this align with the team's vision?    Maximize Sharing: Expertise, resources, and information should all be shared openly within one's team. Hoarding knowledge can only hurt alignment and trust.   The Importance of Self-Reflection: Discover how regularly reflecting on one's alignment, focus, and potential distractions help teams and leaders stay true to their goals.   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.

"Food need not be extravagant, complicated, or mysterious to be good. Quite the contrary." —Patricia Wells in her Introduction to Robert Olney's Simple French Food cookbook Whether you love cooking, loathe cooking or fall anywhere in between, we all need to eat. And if we eat well - a marriage of nutritive and delicious - we give ourself a very good shot at living a long and wonderful life. But we aren't born knowing how to cook. We have to choose to learn it, and depending upon our experience with food and the approach others took in how meals came together, we may have a whole host of beliefs about what constitutes good food, how to make it or why or why not we want to learn how to cook due to cultural expectations and pressures. Similar to living a life of contentment, we cannot just go pull the skills of cooking off the shelf, but instead, we do have to invest some time, effort and initially some money (for the tools), but the money need not be much, and the time need not be terribly lengthy if we have the right teachers and ingredients. Enter the French approach to cooking. The French have long been known for their prowess in the kitchen and with good reason. Auguste Escoffier began cooking at age 13 (1846-1935), and is known for both popularizing and modernizing traditional French cooking methods. You may recognize his name as it is often associated with The Ritz or with the five mother sauces. Rest assured, you do not need to know how to make these traditional French sauces to utilize the skills of the French approach to cooking. You may choose to learn all of them as you begin to find more enjoyment and reward with the basics that will be introduced to you today and further taught in TSLL's Introduction to French Cooking course for everyday deliciousness, but don't be intimated by the fanciness that often is paired with French food. Yes, it is fancy and beautiful and thoughtfully presented, but it is the creation that we are going to talk about today, and for everyday life, that is all you need to know. So let's get started!   ~Explore the detailed Show Notes on The Simply Luxurious Llife blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast406

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are facing different forms of pressure. Caitlin Clark has been carrying her team and has made an incredible return, recently defeating the undefeated New York Liberty. In that game, she recorded six three-pointers in the first half and finished with 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. On the other hand, Angel Reese contributed significantly with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading her team to victory over the Connecticut Sun. It's important to note that criticism can diminish delusion and foster humility. Humility is the foundation of progress and evolution, unlike anger or bitterness. This stands in stark contrast to the BIG3 league, where Stephen Jackson, a BIG3 coach, attempted to fight a player and Dwight Howard and Lance Stephenson got into an altercation. That league is unlikely to grow because you can't build anything with anger and a victim mentality. Lastly, Jason Whitlock shares his thoughts on Stephen A. Smith, who was caught playing solitaire on his phone during the NBA Finals.

Video Leadership Presence for Personal Growth In this episode, Michael and Ryan explore the power of video-based platforms in building authentic leadership presence. They discuss how confidence, executive presence, and self-improvement are essential for personal and professional growth. Ryan shares his journey in leadership development and how it shaped his company, Better On. Michael reinforces the idea that presence isn't just about appearance—it's about taking ownership of your growth, self-care, and professional development rather than outsourcing it to others. Overcoming Limiting Beliefs in Self-Recording Michael and Ryan tackle the common challenges people face when recording themselves on video. Many struggle with self-observation and discomfort, but Ryan explains how small, intentional steps can help build confidence. He highlights the importance of creating a safe space for people to embrace their presence and reframe their mindset. They also discuss how people often lack an understanding of how their audience perceives them—and how gaining that perspective can be a game-changer for communication and leadership. Overcoming Fear Through Personal Experience Michael shares a pivotal story about his journey in overcoming the fear of public speaking. A required presentation in a business writing class once filled him with dread—until he unexpectedly had to deliver it while battling chickenpox. Despite his discomfort, his authenticity and delivery earned a standing ovation from his classmates. This experience reshaped his confidence, proving that presence and self-belief matter more than perfection. He reflects on how this breakthrough influenced his career as a healthcare executive and later as a business leader. Public Speaking, Communication, and the Role of Technology Michael and Ryan emphasize that public speaking is no longer just for executives—it's an essential skill for everyone. Whether in boardrooms or virtual spaces, mastering communication can open doors to new opportunities. They discuss how practicing presentation skills leads to greater confidence and effectiveness, regardless of natural talent. Ryan also highlights how technology is leveling the playing field, making it easier than ever for individuals to share their ideas and perspectives on a global scale. The episode concludes with Ryan offering insights and resources for those looking to sharpen their communication skills.  Ryan Carey has the key for your next team development initiative, and he wants to share it with your audience!   With the steady rise of remote jobs in the past few years, on-camera presence has become a vital skill for companies worldwide.
