In this short micro dose episode, we explore the specialized qualities required for different SEAL Team missions. Our guest, retired Navy SEAL Commander Rich Diviney, shares his fascination with the unique attributes needed for high-stakes operations like combat diving and hostage rescue—emphasizing how patience, adaptability, and mental agility are mission-critical. Listen to full episode here: https://pod.fo/e/28e08fDrawing from hundreds of real-world missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, Rich unpacks the true purpose behind SEAL training—not to teach specific skills, but to reveal the core attributes required to perform under extreme pressure. Whether underwater for long durations or making life-or-death decisions in seconds, SEALs succeed not just because of what they know, but because of who they are.Rich's insights extend beyond the military. He shows how this same philosophy—prioritizing attributes over skills—can transform leadership and team performance in any environment.Key Takeaways:Different SEAL missions require distinct personal qualities.Training is designed to reveal these attributes, not just build skills.The best teams are built on character, not credentials.This mindset applies equally in business and leadership.Specific Missions in the SEAL Teams Require Specific QualitiesSuccess in SEAL missions depends on the unique attributes of each team member—not just their technical skills. This distinction is critical for maintaining adaptability in dynamic, high-risk environments.Attributes Over SkillsEach mission demands specific traits. Combat diving requires deep patience; hostage rescue calls for rapid decision-making and agility. Someone who thrives in slow, methodical tasks might falter in a high-speed crisis—but they'd excel when endurance and calm are key. Recognizing these differences is central to building the right team for the mission.Real-World ExamplesRich Diviney shares a story from 2010, reflecting on his experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. SEAL training includes grueling exercises—carrying boats, lifting logs—not because those skills are directly used in combat, but because they create pressure. The goal isn't just physical fitness—it's to surface traits like grit, teamwork, composure, and resilience.The Story of the Non-SwimmerRich tells the story of a SEAL candidate who couldn't swim. On the swim test, he jumped in, sank to the bottom, and walked across the pool. When asked what happened, he admitted he didn't know how to swim. But the instructor didn't dismiss him. Instead, recognizing the young man's determination and resolve, he said, “That's okay—we can teach you how to swim.”That moment illustrates a core principle: if someone has the right attributes—grit, tenacity, humility—you can teach them the technical parts. But the reverse isn't always true.From Military to BusinessAfter retiring, Rich noticed that organizations often overvalue hard skills while struggling to define or develop the deeper qualities that drive performance. Terms like “soft skills” don't do justice to traits like emotional control, adaptability, and drive. Focusing on attributes gives companies a more accurate view of who will thrive, grow, and lead effectively.ConclusionThe highest-performing SEAL teams aren't built on resumes. They're built on character. That same principle holds true in every high-performance setting. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Now with the rise of AI, everything has become FAST. We look for short videos, quick wins, and AI tools that do everything for us. And while that's amazing in so many ways, it can also make us believe that fluency should be something that's easy, instant, or effortless. But here's the truth: some things still take time, intention, and consistency. And English is one of them! In this episode, I talk about the five must-have qualities you need to truly master English. Not tools. Not grammar rules. Not hacks. Qualities. The kind that no app or AI can give you. Because over the past couple of years, I've noticed something, not just in my own life and business, but in the lives of my students and the people I work with. It's becoming harder to stay consistent. Harder to follow through. And easier to expect results without really doing the inner work. So in this episode, I want to shine a light on what's actually holding people back from fluency, even when they're doing “all the right things.” Even when they're using amazing tools like AI. If you're ready to go deeper and get the kind of support where you can bring these 5 qualities to LIFE I'm inviting you to learn more about my membership, Beyond!

We were delinquent, but we're back with another exciting episode named after Skink. No, not the little lizard. The Skink in question here is the recurring former governor of Florida in the Hiaasen-verse. Stephe just read his new book. That's how we got there. What else did we talk about? The Arena League What Stephe learned about St. Joe, Missouri The fabulous life of Mister Sinister Doctor Who Ranking the Whos (starting with Eccleston) Then it was on to the main event. Stephe is a fan of card break videos, so we decided to do one in our own SlurpToast style. Stephe bought a blaster box of Marvel Chrome and we broke, ripped and ranted about the cards he pulled. Yes, this is probably more visual then audio. If you want to see what you're missing, you can watch the video HERE. And, of course, we end things with a rousing round of "What's on Your Desk?"

Adam Coons says there's more risk than reward when it comes to Palantir (PLTR). "There's no question" that the company has a great outlook, says Adam, but sky-high valuations gives him a bearish near to mid-term outlook. He talks about ways the A.I. narrative played a role in its explosive growth and how it compares to Nvidia (NVDA). Tom White turns to bullish and bearish example options trades for Palantir.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Living in a period increasingly fraught by various crises and risks, it is more necessary than ever to be able to metabolize anxiety into something useful. But what about at a cultural level? The behaviors that the current economic superstructure rewards cannot form the basis of what emerges from its ashes…we require new ways of thinking and living that put us in closer relationship to one another and the planet around us. In a system structured to serve as a dissipative structure, how do we plant the seeds of something that is more resilient and cooperative? In this week's Frankly, Nate addresses how we, as humans, might adapt and take on characteristics that will allow us to face the coming challenges of our world head-on. Through a framework of “cultural mitochondria,” Nate explores 10 traits that will help to shape the way we move through and address the human predicament. These are not far off ideals to think about once, then forget about. These are behaviors that require deep and regular practice, perhaps one of the most important tasks of our time. How can we become more grounded and regulated in our bodies in order to become agents of change? What does it mean to metabolize grief into resilience and action? And how do we expand empathy and humility for one another as we grapple with increasingly isolating conditions?

The Beers are back in Queens for another episode, united in friendship, and joined by a six pack of Summer Ale from Five Boroughs Brewing Co based in Brooklyn (0:31). To start off the show, The Beers dive right into their biggest gripe with going to the movies nowadays (1:48), followed by a rundown of trailers for upcoming movies set to release in 2025, which include THE NAKED GUN remake, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER remake, THE LIFE OF CHUCK, THE MATERIALISTS, and EDDINGTON (4:57). Headlining the episode, Dylan offers an introduction of Tim Robinson, or as we like to call him, “the king of aggressive stupidity” (9:36), setting up The Beers review of FRIENDSHIP, which stars Robinson and Paul Rudd in what will likely go down as the most cringe comedy to hit theaters this year (14:36). The Beers then spill their go-to streamers in 2025 and recap the evolution of HBO into HBO MAX, again (27:28). To wrap it up, a dirty dozen of Letterboxd reviews featuring some comedy classics that may have been forgotten by most, but are timeless to many (38:36).Sip back and enjoy!Got a movie, TV series, or doc we should talk about?
