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.

This week, Kate tries a tri-deep dive connecting Addison Rae's evolution, Y2K's one-hit wonders, and the overlap of both TRL and Tiktok's pop generations. Through Addison's candid interviews about stepping away from constant content creation, Kate explores how the machine that once discarded the forgotten pop girls of the early 2000s is long gone... or is it? Kate argues that while social media promised to democratize fame, it's actually created a more insidious system where creators internalize the disposability that labels and entertainment gatekeepers used to impose, making the case that Addison Rae represents a new model of how to game the system back.Plus: Relax, Hailey Bieber isn't a billionaire (yet), Kylie's boob job transparency, S Club 7's tragic economics, YM magazine archaeology, and why we need to stop treating one-hit wonders like cautionary tales when they were actually victims of an assembly line designed to churn through young women for profit.

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.

This week, Kate unpacks the art, science, and history of gossip with Kelsey McKinney (from the beloved podcast Normal Gossip and author of NYT bestselling book You Didn't Hear This From Me). They explore a variety of angles for this topic, such as how dismissing gossip as "women's talk" has historically been a tool of patriarchal control, religious institutions, or corporations, etc., and how gossip networks have actually served as feminist resistance channels throughout history. They also examine their complicated relationship with parasocial relationships and "entitlement gossip," forever navigating the fine line between being messy Bs who love tea and recognizing gossip's legitimate social power.

enVision Together: Going to Out Next Level of Best podcast, welcomes author, David Gregory. He is the New York Times' bestselling author of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, which sold half a million copies, The Last Christian, a Christy Award finalist for best Christian fiction, and ten other books. Three of his books have been made into feature films. A Dallas Seminary graduate, international conference speaker, and former radio broadcaster, David is a leading voice seeking to bring the message of Christ to a new generation in unconventional ways and usher the worldwide church into a deeper experience of Christ in them. His fiction writing career came knocking at his door when he penned a brief novella, intending to print a few hundred copies to hand out to people and share the message of Christ in what he hoped was an entertaining and engaging way. Instead, the book fell into Random House's hands and became a New York Times' bestseller. Unsurprisingly, they wanted more, and he's been writing ever since.

The would-be rejuvenating experience soon turned into a test of resilience and fortitude, leaving Mark with multiple fractures and a punctured lung.    Mark shares these details not solely for the purpose of recounting a personal story, but to explore the pivotal role his extensive training and mindset played on the road to healing. He dives into the techniques he uses—-from advanced visualization to staying physically active to the extent of his recovery capacity.

On this episode of The Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine continues his journey into the world of Five Mountain Development, this time highlighting the key role intuition plays in human development.    Drawing from his experiences in the SEAL teams, the corporate world, and his personal meditation practice, Mark explores three types of intuition: instinctual, emphatic, and insightful. Whether it's life-saving instincts on the firing range, or heart-driven insights whilst traversing a dangerous crevasse, Mark's experience with intuition is not only deeply personal, but has played a crucial role in his life. Thankfully, this allows Mark to provide practical techniques for one to cultivate intuition—drawn from ancient traditions and mindfulness practices. These techniques can not only enhance awareness and presence, but are essential in a world characterized by rapidly evolving technology.   Key Topics Include: Types of Intuition: Listen to Mark cover the three types of intuition—-instinctual (gut), emphatic (heart), and insightful (mind), and how each type offers a unique role in navigating life's complexities.  Intuition in the Age of AI: Discover how skills like creativity and empathy are going to be more valuable than ever before as we prepare for an unpredictable future.  Pattern Recognition: Learn how our ability to recognize patterns over time can contribute to intuitive insight.  Engaging With Nature: Find out how connecting with nature with a quiet mind can not only help us connect deeply with our environment, but enhance intuitive capabilities as well.   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.

Continuing from part one of Mark Divine's deep dive into the Emotional Mountain (a crucial but often difficult to integrate tenet of Five Mountain Development), this episode of The Unbeatable Mind finds Mark examining the profound impact emotions have on physical and mental well-being.    From the complex interplay of emotions, mental processes, and physical states to a concept called The Default Mode Network (a key player in conditioned emotional responses), Mark leaves no stone unturned in his discussion of the most intricate of the Five Mountains. Struggling with how to identify and manage emotional patterns? Mark shares insightful strategies for how to do so—-like one he calls the ‘WIRM' process. Additionally, he explores the psychological approaches of some of the most influential thinkers of all time, such as Freud, Jung, and Richard Schwartz. This is a deep dive that offers incredibly valuable perspectives on the ever-so-challenging process of emotional work.    Key Topics Include: Embracing Courage & Transforming Fear: Learn how to identify and transform irrational fears, understand root emotions, and face challenges with a positive mindset The WIRM Process: Understand Mark's method for intercepting and redirecting fear loops into positive outcomes.  Making Friends With Emotions: Learn the art of accepting your feelings while maintaining self-compassion and courage.  Somatic Practices & Emotion: Explore how somatic movement such as dance or yoga play a role in emotional healing.   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.

There is an Enemy among us. You may know who he is, but you may not know what he is about. Do you know how he wages war? Do you know how he targets you specifically? He's the Villain who wants to change your story in the hopes you live isolated, powerless, discouraged, and defeated. Satan has waged a war with the Almighty, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and his sole desire is to keep you from God's goodness. He knows that he has been defeated by Jesus' death and resurrection, but until the final battle when he is cast into hell for eternity, he and his demons roam the earth like a roaring lion looking for anyone to devour. He is far more disruptive to our lives than we realize, and it's time to take action. Therefore, in today’s conversation, Zach & Josh sit down with New York Times bestselling author, renowned speaker, and lead pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church, Jonathan Pokluda, to unpack his newest book, Your Story Has a Villain to explore the tactics of Satan, equip you to overcome spiritual battles, and remind you of the victory already secured through Jesus. Remember, as Christ followers we must be aware of the enemy’s schemes, but we don’t have to be afraid, because as 1 John 4:4 reminds us, “greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Yes, your story has a villain, an unseen enemy disrupting your life more than you realize. But we must remember our hero is Jesus Christ, who came so that we may "have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). We know the grim, eternal outcome for Satan and his demons, but the battle still rages. So, the question that remains is, are you ready to fight back, find freedom from sin and toxic thinking, and walk in the abundant life available to you?

This week, Kate is joined by the Pop Apologists, sisters Lauren Atkinson and Chandler Bledsoe to discuss a variety of pop culture-adjacent topics, e.g., their fascination with Mormonism in media, the Lisa Barlow paradox, the rise of Salt Lake City as a cultural moment, and how growing up in a conservative environment shaped their reality TV obsession. After that, the trio unpacks the Meghan Markle discourse, the internet's obsession with Kate Middleton's whereabouts in 2024, and what really went down during the height of the royal conspiracy rabbit hole that briefly took over their life. Plus, the moral dilemma of running a gossip podcast in the digital age, Taylor Swift's style choices, and why every millennial woman's 2008 iPod playlist was basically a personality test. Somewhere in there, they also reminisce about their most unhinged heartbreak antics, from fake Facebook boyfriends to the universal fantasy of running into your ex looking hotter than ever.

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. These practices help practitioners immensely to recognize that they are not their thoughts, enabling them to break free from limiting mental patterns.   Look no further than this episode for practical guidance on how to incorporate these training techniques into your daily routine so you can succeed in mastering your mental mountain!   Key Topics Include:   Arousal Control & Attention Control: Mark explains how nostril breathing and box breathing techniques can help us calm our bodies and minds, reactivating our parasympathetic nervous systems and enabling us to maintain focused attention. Mindfulness & Metacognition: We learn how mindfulness develops through attention control and concentration, leading to an awareness that separates us from our thoughts. This is the first step towards greater mental freedom. Visualization & Imagination: Mark shares a powerful personal story of how he used visualization to transform his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL into reality. He highlights the importance of creating positive mental imagery and practicing it regularly to achieve our 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. 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.

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.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today, we're diving into the world of high-stakes espionage, relentless action, and a prison break unlike any other.   Our guest is the master of the modern thriller, the #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Greaney. If you love gritty, edge-of-your-seat storytelling, you already know him—the man behind the Gray Man series, a franchise so intense it leaped from the page to the big screen with Ryan Gosling in the lead role. And now, he's back with Midnight Black, just now out, available February 18, 2025, available at Apple Books, a book that might just be his most harrowing yet.   Imagine a Russian gulag buried deep in the frozen wastelands, a place so brutal that even hardened criminals whisper about its horrors. This is where we find Zoya Zakharova, once a master spy, now a prisoner. And there's only one man insane enough to take on the Russian police state to free her—Courtland Gentry, the Gray Man himself. But this isn't just another mission. It's personal. And the odds? Nearly impossible.   Returning guest, author Mark Greaney is no armchair novelist. He's fired the weapons, trained with special ops, and even flown in fighter jets—all in pursuit of authenticity. His books aren't just fiction, they feel real because he's lived the research.   Today, we'll talk about the terrifying reality behind the Mordovian prison camps, the real-life inspiration for  Midnight Black, just now out, available February 18, 2025, available at Apple Books, and why the most dangerous missions aren't always fought with guns. We'll also get a glimpse into the mind of a writer who has dedicated himself to making thrillers as immersive and true-to-life as possible. So, strap in, because this one's going to be a ride. Please welcome back to The Not Old Better Show, Mark Greaney. My thanks to Mark Greaney, author of the new best selling book,  Midnight Black, just now out, available February 18, 2025, available at Apple Books.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show. My thanks to Sam Heninger and Miranda Heninger for their help, and my thnks to you our wonderful audience here on radio and podcast.  Be well, be safe, and Let's Talk About Better™, The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.

This week (in honor of Galentine's Day), Kate reflects on the sentimental and chaotic rituals of getting ready with girlfriends before going out (or out-out). She explores the excitement and economics of the going-out top/designer denim combo, the deeper connections forged at pregames, the cultural pressures and beauty standards of the mid-2000s, and shares memories of bonding over makeup, clothes, and shared anticipation. In the second half, listeners sent in their going out anecdotes, revealing how these pre-games were often more meaningful than the nights that followed.

This week, Kate and her sister give One in a Millennial one last hurrah in honor of its paperback release by sharing some more behind-the-scenes nostalgia and adding context from their two millennial lives that shaped how the book came to be. Kelly asks Kate questions relating to lots of never-before-shared details, e.g. the metaphorical significance of opening the book inside a shopping mall, examples of cut chapters and concepts, honoring their mutual experiences being routinely friend-zoned, revisiting her tendency to sob through Back in the Daybed, opening up about the haunting irony of her audiobook recording experience, and so much more!

This week, Kate's sisters-in-law are back on the pod for a lighthearted convo about a variety of topics in the second half of the episode, like following up on some One Hit Mumbler news, discussing golf course misogyny, what we'd choose as our grift of choice if we lean into the swindler's economy, the dark side of chocolate, trend fatigue, 90s chain letters, etc. Kate opens by touching on a topic that they discuss later in the ep, in terms of struggling to navigate parenting and self-care in the Information Age when you can find a strong opinion arguing for or against anything ever at a given time, making it hard to know what to prioritize, what's a legitimate problem, and what's just the algorithm fear-mongering. She also reviews some things she's tried in a quest for self-care in the New Year, from a standing desk to neck ‘tox to investigating the influencer-beloved PreNuvo scan. She also briefly rants about feeling slightly trolled by “75 Hard” New Year's resolutions and questions why we're supposed to admire people overcoming elective adversity, which likely won't go over well.
