Most people think performance is about more reps, more data, more tech, or more intensity. But according to human performance educator Rob Wilson, the truth is far more uncomfortable: most elite performers don’t actually understand their own bodies, identities, or inner signals—and it’s costing them years of longevity, clarity, and resilience.In this powerful conversation, Mark Divine and Rob Wilson break down the real keys to performance longevity, emotional resilience, identity beyond your job title, and why self-awareness is the most underrated skill in elite sport, tactical teams, and everyday life.From breathwork, interoception, and spinal health… to transitions out of high-status careers… to the hidden dangers of burnout and tech dependency… this episode explores the deep work behind staying healthy, powerful, and fully human in a high-performance world.If you’re an athlete, coach, operator, or leader who wants to sustain excellence without breaking your body, mind, or identity—this conversation will shift how you train, lead, and live.In this episode, you’ll learn:1. Why high performers must become “problem seekers,” not just problem solvers2. How to become the observer of your own training instead of a consumer of metrics3. Why tech overload is weakening self-awareness and decision-making4. How breathwork and spinal health unlock long-term resilience5. Why identity collapse affects elite operators and athletes after transition6. How emotional intelligence amplifies performance and protects mental health7. What it really takes to prevent burnout and injury in high-stress environments8.

200,000+ leaders have become unbeatable with my operating system, will you be the next? Join The Unbeatable Leader Challenge Today: https://www.unbeatableleader.comIn this episode of the Mark Divine Show, Mark Divine interviews Curtis Morley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, entrepreneur, and self-described emotion artist. They discuss the significance of understanding authentic emotions vs. counterfeit emotions and how these distinctions impact leadership, personal growth, and recovery. Curtis shares his insights into emotional intelligence, emotional development, and his personal journey from tech entrepreneur to helping leaders build high-integrity lives. They emphasize emotional authenticity, curiosity, and the importance of addressing root-level emotional patterns to achieve transformative growth. Curtis also previews his upcoming book, 'Counterfeit Emotions,' which explores these themes in depth.Here's what you'll learn: -The True Meaning of SuccessSuccess is redefined from external achievements—like trophies, awards, and recognition—to an internal sense of fulfillment. True success is about what’s happening inside, not what’s displayed on a shelf.-Emotional Intelligence: The #1 Predictor of SuccessAcross all areas of life, emotional intelligence is the top indicator of future success. It’s not about skills or degrees, but about understanding your own feelings and knowing how to manage them.-Failures as the Path to GrowthGrowth comes from failures, not just successes. Learning to let go, forgive, and stop playing the victim is essential. Most successful people have experienced significant failures, which often become their greatest blessings.-The Power of Vulnerability in LeadershipTrue courage in leadership means being open and vulnerable—admitting when you don’t have the answers or need help. This authenticity makes leaders stronger and more relatable.-Kindness vs. Niceness: The Power of BoundariesNiceness can be a defense mechanism to avoid conflict, while true kindness starts with setting boundaries and being kind to yourself. You can only be as kind to others as you are to yourself.BUBS Naturals: I use BUBS Naturals daily for focus, recovery, and hydration—all built on a mission to honor a fallen Navy SEAL.
