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.
