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.

But this isn't just about special forces. It's a conversation about how CEOs and senior leaders can rewire how they think about pressure, performance, and leadership itself.Rich introduces powerful concepts, including the brain's need for Duration, Pathway, and Outcome (DPO) to maintain composure in chaos.

These lessons are deeply human and directly applicable to organizational leadership.This episode goes beyond resilience into practical training for leaders who want to move through uncertainty with clarity and help their teams do the same. Whether you're leading a fast-scaling business, a mission-driven nonprofit, or a complex enterprise under stress, this conversation offers actionable perspective and tools for performing when nothing goes as planned.Actionable TakeawaysHear how Rich Diviney defines mastery of uncertainty—and why it starts with managing your own physiological stress response.Learn how elite performers prepare for unpredictable environments and why your team can develop that same capability.Discover why the brain's search for Duration, Pathway, and Outcome is the key to clarity in moments of stress.Explore the concept of dynamic subordination and how the best teams allow leadership to shift based on proximity to the problem.Understand the limits of traditional planning—and why too much planning can become a form of leadership paralysis.Gain perspective on why attempts to control more tightly often erode trust, especially in high-stakes or ambiguous situations.Examine how the identities leaders carry—consciously or not—shape how they respond under pressure.Learn why building trust requires more than competence and consistency—and how character and compassion complete the equation.Find out how focusing your team on smaller, achievable horizons (instead of long-range uncertainty) improves decision-making and morale.Get practical strategies for applying these tools immediately—both in your own leadership and across your team.Connect with Rich DivineyThe Attributes Website Rich Diviney LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

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.

Retired Commander Mark Divine served for over 15 years as a U.S. Navy Seal around the world in Asia Pacific, Africa, Bahrain, and Iraq. A native of upstate New York, and a lifelong student of karate and zen meditation, Mark entered the U.S. Navy in 1989 and entered the Seals' BUDS training in 1990. As an outgrowth of his training and his service, he ultimately developed his own systems for mental and physical fitness, described in his books "SEALFIT" and “Unbeatable Mind.” In his latest book "Uncommon," Mark lays out the steps to applying his trademark warrior monk philosophy to the summit of personal development.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

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. 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.

Fear. It's a pervasive issue for many.

Rich shares his insights on the difference between attributes and skills, the concept of optimal performance, and how understanding these attributes can help build high-performing teams. They also talk about the importance of dynamic subordination, the relevance of attributes in hiring processes, and how parents can help their children develop these essential traits. The conversation highlights the need to look beyond resumes and skills when evaluating team members and the value of understanding and developing attributes for individual and team success. If you're looking for an innovative way to better understand and develop yourself and your team, this is a must-listen episode. Sound Bites "In stress, challenge, and uncertainty, when things hit the fan, personality tends to go out the window. We're running on these very raw things called attributes." "We train for certainty; we educate for uncertainty." "Skills direct our behavior in known and specific environments, but attributes inform our behavior in unknown environments." "A high-performing team is one that performs optimally even when things are not going great." "Optimal performance means I'm going to do the very best in the moment, whatever the best looks like in that moment." "Dynamic subordination means that problems and challenges can come from any angle at any moment. The person who's closest to the problem, the most capable, immediately steps up and takes lead." "If someone is unwilling to take criticism, they are unwilling to understand what they're doing wrong. They're unwilling to step back and cede control. That is a dangerous place to be in."

Welcome back to The Therapy4Dads Podcast! In today's episode, we have a very special guest joining us, Jon Macaskill (pronounced Muh-KAS-kill) is a retired Navy SEAL Commander turned mindfulness teacher and leadership coach. During his 24-year Navy career, he served in multiple highly dynamic leadership positions, from the battlefield to the operations center and the board room. Jon's unconventional yet highly effective style of teaching leadership is fueled by his passion for helping people and organizations become the best versions of themselves. He takes what helped him excel in his professional life and heal in his personal life and now shares this through mindfulness coaching, grit and resilience training, and keynote speaking, all in the pursuit of helping others achieve their full potential.Here are 3 key takeaways from this eye-opening conversation: 1️⃣ Processing Trauma: Jon emphasizes the significance of addressing trauma early on, rather than bottling it up. Trauma is not a disorder; it's a natural human response. Seeking professional help and utilizing tools like mindfulness and meditation can play a vital role in processing trauma and promoting mental well-being. 2️⃣ Hypervigilance & Stress: Jon sheds light on the impacts of hypermasculinity, the fear of losing identity, and the constant need to maintain a tough exterior. Hypervigilance can keep us in a perpetual fight-or-flight state, leading to burnout and difficulty in connecting emotionally. Mindfulness practices can help break through these barriers and offer tools to better handle stress, anxiety, and sadness. 3️⃣ Mindfulness and Parenting: Jon shares his journey as a father, highlighting how mindfulness has transformed his parenting approach. By being fully present and mindful, he prioritizes family time, strengthens bonds, and cherishes the limited moments he has with his children. Mindfulness enables him to better navigate the challenges of hypervigilance and create a healthy balance between protection and giving his children the space to learn and grow. Remember, taking care of our mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness. Let's break the stigma around vulnerability and build a stronger, more resilient community.WATCH ON YOUTUBE:WATCH IT HERE: CLICK HERESUPPORT THE SHOW:CLICK HERE: BuyMeACoffee/Therapy4DadsJOIN the MAILING LIST & GET INVOLVED!CLICK HERE: MAILING LISTConnect and Support Jon:LinkedIn: Jon MacaskillWeb: https://frogmanmindfulness.com/POD: https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/Connect and Support Travis:YouTube: Travis GoodmanInstagram: @Therapy4DadsCheck out the Website: Therapy4Dads.com

How can you learn to stay calm and deal with a VUCA — volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous — world? Perspective is the number one tactic, and today's guest is a special operator and leader who has the developmental skills and methodologies that can assist anyone in dealing with a VUCA world.   Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, best-selling author, and leadership expert. After a 20-year career in the Navy SEALs, he was tasked with creating a leadership program for the SEALs, which later extended to corporate, sports, and academic settings. Mark Divine is the author of five best-selling books, hosts a top-rated podcast, Mark Divine's Unbeatable Mind, and has founded five successful companies. He believes in unlocking 20X performance through the right training and tools.   From terrorist attacks and global wars to the COVID-19 pandemic and technological advances, the capacity for great violence to happen quickly is prevalent in today's VUCA world. The need to remain adaptable, flexible, and controlled under such stress is critical to survival.   Mark and Bill both share experiences of trauma from their lives and the lessons they have learned as a result. Having the tools needed to navigate the trauma of life is what sets a leader apart in moments of crisis. However, teams are not always looking for a calm and composed leader. Acknowledging apparent chaos can be the best first step in building trust and respect.   Everyone on a SEAL team is a leader, so egos get checked at the door. Each team member is prepared to step up when they are called on to lead. There is no hiding in an elite culture environment, there is only the expectation that you're going to bring your “A” game every single day. Those who learn the techniques to do so are earning the respect and trust of their team, controlling their mind and emotions, and preparing for whatever chaos the VUCA world might throw their way.   Interview Links: Mark Divine   Resources: Growth Navigator Coaching Scaling Up Summits (Select Bill Gallagher as your coach during registration for a discount.)

Rich Diviney is a retired Navy SEAL Commander, who completed more than thirteen overseas deployments—eleven of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. In his 20 years as an officer and SEAL, Rich was involved in the specialized SEAL selection process, which whittled a group of hundreds of extraordinary candidates down to a few of the most elite performers. As the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, Rich also spearheaded the creation of the SEAL "Mind Gym" that helped SEALs perform faster, longer, and better, especially in high-stress environments. Since his retirement, Rich has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant, training more than five thousand business, athletic, and military leaders. Rich shares his work on his website, theattributes.com, and in his excellent book, The Attributes. In this conversation, we discuss the following: Being in charge and being a leader are two separate things. The former is a position; the latter is a behavior. We don't get to self-designate ourselves leaders. Other people decide whether we are someone they want to follow, and they do so based on the way we behave. “If you call yourself a leader, and you look back and there's no one following you, I've got bad news for you.” “I was always in charge of something in the Navy. But whether or not I was a leader depended on how I was behaving and what the people in my span of care thought of me.” “There have been people who outrank me hierarchically, and I wouldn't follow them anywhere. And meanwhile there's someone over there by the water cooler who has no hierarchical rank whatsoever. And I would follow that person to hell and back because of the way they behave.” You can manage and supervise people, but no one likes to be supervised. They want to follow a leader. One of the most important leadership behaviors is accountability. I own my decisions. And I own the consequences thereof, whether good or bad. As a leader you can always delegate responsibility, but you can never delegate accountability. Rich was commanding officer of a NAVY seal squadron and had delegated the responsibility of the jump to a new jump master. As a result, they missed the mark badly. But Rich owned the results, even though he had delegated the responsibility of the jump. When we take accountability, we increase our control. When we blame others, we give up control. Leaders aren't born or made, according to Rich. They're chosen, based on their behaviors. And one of the most important behaviors for leaders is accountability. Accountability puts us in the driver's seat, compared to blame, which immediately cedes our position to the back where we give someone else control.   Follow Rich: Twitter: https://twitter.com/RichDiviney Follow Me: Twitter: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/

Mark Divine (@realmarkdivine) is a tough one to pin down. And I like that. As a Navy SEAL Commander and Zen meditation practitioner, Divine weaves between worlds of Eastern spirituality and Western militance. This was the second time I had Divine on the show, the first was in Ep. #271, and I find the guy endlessly fascinating. A little background: After a successful 20-year career as a Navy SEAL, Mark was hired to create a nationwide coaching and leadership program for the U.S. Navy's primary operations force. The program aims to give the SEALs the best leadership and mental management tools in the world and to help them forge unbeatable teams that achieve mission success in the most stressful, challenging environments on earth. He has written numerous books, including Unbeatable Mind and The Way of The SEAL.Enjoy,KyleP.S. If you dig this podcast, will you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts?
