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.

Successful teams don't just happen. In this week's episode of The Unbeatable Mind, Mark is going solo (with his daughter Catherine joining for an insightful Q & A), to break down his acclaimed “seven commitments” model for building elite teams.    Drawing from his extensive Navy SEAL experience, Mark dives into the principles of courage, trust, respect, growth, resilience, excellence, and alignment. He explores why true elite teams aren't about being better people, but by fostering intentional behaviours and growth.    Mark discusses how resistance to change can be a common pitfall in the building of strong teams, and the power of collective development not only in work, but in life. In order to achieve growth as a collective, honest communication and respect are paramount.    Key Takeaways:  The Fundamentality of Courage: Listen as Mark draws on personal experience from the SEALs, to illustrate how true courage within teams isn't about bravado, but humility.    Growth Is Non-Negotiable: Realize that for a team to truly become elite, it requires constant growth from every member. When personal growth slows, so does the growth of the collective.    The Role of Physical Health in Teams: Discover how the most successful teams are ones that recognize their body and mind as one integrated system. Physical performance affects mental performance as individuals and collectively.    Resistance To Change: Recognize how even though resistance to change is completely normal, for those on a path of true growth, it's ultimately futile.    Mark Divine, Ph.D., is the host of The Mark Divine Show, a solo podcast focused on developing mental toughness, emotional resilience, and intuitive leadership. A Navy SEAL veteran and leadership expert, Mark graduated as Honor Man of SEAL BUD/S class 170 and served 20 years in the SEAL teams, retiring as Commander in 2011. He is also the founder of SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind, programs designed to enhance physical, mental, and emotional performance. Mark holds a Ph.D. in Global Leadership and Change and has practiced Zen meditation and breathwork for over 30 years. His unique approach to leadership blends holistic, whole-person development with a focus on unlocking human potential. He has authored several bestselling books, including Unbeatable Mind and The Way of the SEAL. Mark lives in Encinitas, CA, with his wife, Sandy, their children, spirited grandchildren, and dogs, and is driven by a mission to inspire 100 million people to develop greater mental toughness, intuition, and compassion.   Mark's Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdivine/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@markdivineshow  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/RealMarkDivine/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sealfit/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/markdivineleadership/    Sponsors and Promotions: Qualia:   To feel in your prime WAY longer than you ever thought possible, try Qualia Senolytic up to 50% off right now at qualialife.com/divine15, and code DIVINE15 at checkout for an extra 15% off.

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.

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. Over two decades of service, Mark commanded critical missions globally, retiring as a Commander in 2011.

That's why it's helpful to imagine it as Mark Divine does, as a set of five metaphorical mountains to scale.Mark is a retired Navy SEAL Commander, a professor of leadership, a yogi, the creator of fitness and mindset programs like SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind, and an author. He combines his two decades of military service with his study of martial arts and zen meditation to create the holistic warrior monk development philosophy that informs his work, including his latest book, Uncommon: Simple Principles for an Extraordinary Life.Today on the show, Mark acts as a guide to the topography of the five mountains of personal development and the daily practices that will help you summit them. We talk about why mastering the physical mountain comes first and climbing the intuitional mountain comes fourth, the Navy SEAL breathing practice that will help you develop your metacognition, how the Japanese concept of ikigai can help you find your purpose in life, and much more.Resources Related to the PodcastMark's previous appearance on the Art of Manliness podcast: Episode #60 — The Way of the SEALBox breathingUnbeatable Mind by Mark Divine Staring Down the Wolf by Mark DivineAoM Article: 4 Key Insights From the Bhagavad GitaAoM Podcast #616: A Guide for the Journey to Your True CallingSunday Firesides: You Don't Have the Time, Not to Take the TimeF3 NationIkigaiConnect With Mark DivineUncommon website Mark's websiteMark on IG

Have you ever worn a cloak of shame so heavy it seemed impossible to shed? Astrodemus of Sparta did, and his story of disgrace transformed into honor is a testament to the human spirit's relentless pursuit of redemption. Journey with us through ancient battlefields as we unravel the gripping narrative of a warrior who rose from the ashes of humiliation at the Battle of Thermopylae to a valorous end at Plataea. We'll dissect how Astrodemus' tale, echoed in novels and films, speaks to the broader themes of overcoming stigma and redefining what it means to reclaim lost dignity. It's a tale of how the echoes of the past still resonate with our struggles today. But why does Astrodemus' story matter to us? The episode pushes further, drawing parallels between the ancient Spartan's journey and our own battles with adversity in today's world. In a segment that contrasts the Spartan's physical trials with modern-day challenges, we touch upon how voluntarily facing hardship, as taught in programs like Mark Divine's Seal Fit and the practices of shugyo, can shape our character and fortify our resolve. This podcast takes you through the concept of 'voluntary hardship' - a transformative tool for character building. It's about pushing ourselves beyond comfort to grow stronger, both mentally and physically. As we draw from the wisdom of SealFit and shugyo, we realize the powerful impact such practices can have on our personal development. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:00) - The Story of Astrodemus' Redemption (0:18:57) - Exploring Challenges and Growth Through Training (0:27:34) - Redemption and Personal Transformation --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/warriormindset/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/warriormindset/support

If you're constantly feeding yourself negativity, fear, and anxiety, then that pathway gets locked on. It's like the railroad switch gets rusted and gets stuck on. Mark Divine, retired Navy SEAL and founder of the SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind, talks with Joe De Sena, founder and CEO of Spartan,  about the importance of maintaining discipline in your daily routine, even when external factors make it difficult. If we allow ourselves to be constantly bombarded with negativity, it can lead to a permanent state of anxiety and depression. Making a commitment to our routines and rituals can help us stay focused and positive.   The two also talk about the upcoming Burpees For Vets challenge https://www.burpeesforvets.org/   Mark Divine is an entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author, philanthropist, and one of the world's top leadership and coaching experts.
