You can have superior physical capabilities and technical skills and still fall short in the face of adversity. The key differentiator between success and failure lies in ability and emotional connection to the goal. Without this deep emotional investment and clear sense of purpose, even the most qualified individuals can falter when facing extreme challenges. Mental Mastery Through Meditation: Meditation fundamentally alters your thought patterns and reactions. Through Zen practice, Mark learned to create space between thoughts and responses, leading to better decision-making and emotional control. This was about transforming how his mind processed experiences, ultimately reshaping his brain's structure and subjective reality. Overcoming Negative Self-Talk: Purposeful management of internal dialogue can transform self-image and performance. By consistently replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations (like "I like myself") Mark reconstructed his self-perception. This "starving fear and feeding courage" approach shows how deliberate thought management over time can overcome deeply ingrained negative programming from childhood trauma. The Role of Deep Purpose: You can possess superior physical metrics and ability, and ultimately quit on day one. The difference between people who succeed and those who quit lies in their emotional connection to the goal; Having a purpose that resonates at an identity level. Surface-level competence, without deep emotional investment and clear purpose, falters in the face of extreme challenges.

Samantha’s rough childhood influenced her to find ways to escape through substance abuse. Coping mechanisms turned into a severe addiction to cocaine, alcohol, and prescription pills. She began to seek help in her 20s and through holistic 12-step programs began to make lasting change and recovery. Now Samantha is a speaker, coach, and author who helps others overcome addiction and dysfunctional family dynamics. According to Samantha, the key to recovery goes beyond sobriety; it’s about transforming your life by making amends with yourself. This sets the foundation for healing other relationships and fostering personal integrity.    Samantha Blake Harte is a yoga-certified doctor of physical therapy, performing artist, and podcast host. With over twenty years in the fitness industry and fifteen years sober, Dr. Harte integrates her personal recovery journey with her professional expertise in functional biomechanics and movement pattern retraining. She hosts "The Truth about Addiction" podcast on Spotify and Apple, discussing addiction and recovery openly. Dr. Harte values vulnerability as her strength and strives to live and love wholeheartedly. She lives in Thousand Oaks, California, with her husband, Rob, and their two children, Jack and Charly.   In This Episode: Early Environment And Effects on Addiction: The environment you grow up in significantly predisposes you to addictive behaviors. Growing up in a chaotic home like Samantha pushed her towards finding ways to escape, often through substances. Her experiences illustrate how children can inherit or learn dysfunctional coping strategies from their surroundings. Recovery and Reconstructing Relationships: Samantha’s approach to recovery is holistic and comprehensive. It’s not just about overcoming substance abuse; it involves a deep reevaluation and reshaping of one's life. She advises adapting recovery steps to personally relevant issues, like relationships or self-image, to enhance the impact of recovery. Healing Relationships for Inner Peace: A significant part of recovery involves healing damaged relationships, beginning with oneself. Make amends with yourself as the foundational step towards healing other relationships. This includes recognizing past mistakes, forgiving oneself, and committing to personal integrity moving forward. Recovery Opens New Doors: Recovery is not merely about achieving sobriety; it's about holistic transformation and reclaiming one’s life from the grips of addiction. Samantha used her recovery journey to improve her personal and professional life, demonstrating that a fresh start can lead to remarkable new opportunities.   Sponsors:    SealFit ElectroGreens Fuel your body and conquer your limits with SealFit ElectroGreens - a USDA organic superfood packed with over 25 organic fruits, vegetables, and electrolytes.

Limited-time discount available – don't miss out!   What if the world's top executive coach could fit in your pocket? With over 40 books authored and countless C-suite transformations under his belt, Marshall Goldsmith is now taking on his biggest challenge yet: an AI-powered platform that's democratizing access to his decades of wisdom. In a world obsessed with achievement, Goldsmith's most radical idea might just be that success won't make you happy. Marshall Goldsmith, a man who's coached the coaches, now wants to coach an entire generation through the power of artificial intelligence.     Dr. Marshall Goldsmith has been recognized as one of the Top Ten Business Thinkers in the World and the top-rated executive coach at the Thinkers50 ceremony in London since 2011. Published in 2015, his book Triggers is a Wall Street Journal and New York Times #1 Bestseller! He’s also the author of the New York Times bestseller and #1 Wall Street Journal Business Book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, winner of the Harold Longman Award as Best Business Book of the Year.   Achievement Doesn't Guarantee Happiness: Happiness and achievement are independent variables. Marshall states, "Achieve to achieve. But don't ever think achievement is going to make you happy." Michael Phelps and Albert Barlow (CEO of Pfizer) illustrate that even extraordinary achievements don't necessarily lead to lasting happiness or satisfaction. Avoiding self-stereotyping: Many of our perceived limitations are self-imposed and can be overcome. Leaders should be cautious about how they stereotype themselves, it can significantly limit their potential. Leadership is always changing: Modern leadership is evolving from a top-down approach to a more facilitative role. Peter Drucker states that, "The leader of the past knew how to tell, the leader of future knows how to ask." Today leaders need to be more collaborative, ask questions, and involve team members in decision-making. Stakeholder-centered coaching: Marshall’s coaching methodology, which he calls "stakeholder-centered coaching," focuses on helping leaders learn from everyone around them. He emphasizes the importance of getting feedback from stakeholders, listening to it, and making measurable changes based on that input. This differs from more introspective coaching methods and focuses on practical, observable behavioral changes.   Zbiotics: Go to zbiotics.com/DIVINE to get 15% off your first order when you use DIVINE at checkout.

Limited-time discount available – don't miss out!   From NFL safety to Broadway playwright, Bo Eason's journey defies conventional career paths. Bo's unique experiences in professional football and theater have shaped his insights on achieving greatness. Through the power of visualization and storytelling, Bo shares his strategies for success. Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, or aspiring leader, Bo's lessons on authenticity and embracing your natural confidence will challenge and inspire you to reach new heights in your own pursuits. Itunes Bio:    Bo Eason is a former NFL standout, acclaimed Broadway playwright and performer, and international presence/story coach. He has trained with some of the world’s most brilliant performance and movement coaches, logging over 20,000 hours on stage crafting and presenting his personal story. Bo is now dedicated to helping others tap the power of their personal story and become effective, persuasive communicators.   Newsletter Bio:    A former NFL safety for the Houston Oilers, Bo Eason's journey began at age 9 when he set his sights on playing professional football. After a career-ending injury, he pivoted to acting, spending 15 years honing his craft in New York City under the mentorship of renowned actors like Al Pacino. This led to Eason writing and starring in his own Broadway play, "Runt of the Litter," which was later optioned for a movie. Today, Eason is a sought-after speaker, coach, and author of "No Plan B for Your A-Game." He works with executives, athletes, and professionals, teaching the power of authentic storytelling and effective communication, combining lessons from his sports background, acting experience. A family man, he's known for his daily ritual of waking his children with positive affirmations, embodying his belief in the transformative power of consistent, purposeful actions.   "The fastest way to rebuild trust and intimacy is through personal storytelling.” – Bo Eason   The Power of Visualization and Persistence: Bo's journey to the NFL and later to Broadway demonstrates the power of setting a clear goal, visualizing success, and persisting despite obstacles. Success often looks impossible every day until it suddenly becomes a reality. The Importance of Authentic, Vulnerable Storytelling: Effective communication, especially in leadership, requires sharing personal stories starting from one's lowest moments. This vulnerability creates trust and connection with the audience. Physical Presence is Crucial in Communication: Bo highlights the significance of "physicality" in communication. He argues that body language and physical presence are often more impactful than words alone, and that people need to reconnect with their natural, "predatory" confidence. Adaptability is Key to Success: From Bo's experience in the NFL to his transition into acting and speaking, a recurring theme is the importance of quickly adapting to new situations. He emphasizes that the ability to adapt rapidly is crucial in both professional sports and life in general.

Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino's experiences reveal how seeing Earth from orbit can profoundly alter one's worldview. His journey demonstrates the power of persistence in pursuing ambitious goals, even in the face of repeated setbacks. The techniques astronauts use to manage fear in extreme situations have broad applications for handling everyday challenges. Meanwhile, the evolving landscape of space exploration, with increasing collaboration between government and private entities, points to new frontiers in human achievement. These insights from space travel and astronaut training provide valuable lessons in personal growth, resilience, and our shared future among the stars.   Mike Massimino is a former NASA astronaut who flew two Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions. He holds a PhD in mechanical engineering from MIT and is now a professor at Columbia University. Massimino set a record for spacewalking hours on a single shuttle mission and was the first person to tweet from space. He's a bestselling author, frequent TV guest, and host of several science shows. His space exploration work has earned him multiple NASA medals and other honors.   Key Takeaways:     Space Changes Perspective: Mike Massimino emphasizes how seeing Earth from space profoundly altered his worldview. The experience led him to view our planet as a shared paradise, transcending national boundaries. This cosmic perspective highlights the importance of unity and appreciation for our collective home. Fear Management in High-Stakes Situations: Astronauts like Mike employ specific strategies to handle fear in extreme conditions. The key lies in trusting one's training, equipment, and team.

Persistence Redefines Success: Massimino's journey to becoming an astronaut showcases the power of perseverance. Applying four times before acceptance, he demonstrates that success isn't just about achieving the goal, but about continual pursuit despite setbacks. This redefinition of success as persistent effort rather than immediate outcomes offers a valuable life lesson.

Safe spaces for genuine self-expression are crucial in combating depression, anxiety, and suicide risk. Body-centered practices like mindfulness and bodywork often surpass traditional therapy in helping men process emotions. A healthy masculinity balances strength with emotional openness. Cultivating both assertiveness and vulnerability fosters better relationships and self-awareness. Holistic approaches addressing physical, emotional, and social well-being are key to stress management and personal growth. Itunes Bio:  Owen Marcus, founder of MELD (Men's Emotional Leadership Development), is a pioneer in men's emotional wellness with nearly 30 years of experience. His work, featured in major media and embraced by corporations like Google, focuses on transforming men's lives through innovative group dynamics and emotional awareness techniques. Owen's book "Grow Up" offers a comprehensive guide to authentic living, while his methods have impacted thousands of men and trained professionals in his approach. With expertise spanning corporate management, mindfulness, and integrated medicine, Owen continues to innovate in men's emotional growth through MELD, fostering emotional leadership and personal development in men.   Men Need Connection: Both speakers emphasize that many men suffer from disconnection - from themselves, others, nature, and spirituality. This disconnection is the root cause of many issues, including mental health problems and suicide. Creating safe spaces for men to connect authentically with themselves and others is crucial for their overall well-being. Use Somatic Awareness to Access Emotions: Engage with your body to process emotions more effectively. Practices like mindfulness, bodywork, and physiological awareness can often reach deeper than traditional talk therapy for men. Redefining masculinity to include vulnerability: A new model of masculinity that integrates traditional "tough" qualities with emotional intelligence and vulnerability is imperative. Owen introduces the concept of "assertive vulnerability" as a way to balance these seemingly opposing traits. Holistic Practices for Stress Management and Personal Growth: Mark and Owen discuss various practices for managing stress and promoting personal growth, including mindfulness, time in nature, bodywork, and even medical interventions like the stellate ganglion block. They emphasize the importance of addressing health from multiple angles - physical, emotional, and social.   Momentus: Designed by the world's best experts, used by the world's best teams and athletes, and made for all of us.   https://www.livemomentous.com, and use code DIVINE for 20% off your first order   Magic Spoon Dive into a delicious bowl of Magic Spoon's new high-protein Treats, now available at your nearest grocery store.

Limited-time discount available – don't miss out! David Brown, known as one of the smallest Navy SEALs in history, shares his extraordinary journey from BUD/S training to high-stakes criminal investigations with NCIS and the EPA. Standing at just 5'3" and 110 pounds, Brown's memoir is a testament to persistence and determination in overcoming physical limitations. He shares his experiences from major fraud and environmental crime cases, including a landmark $17 million fine against Burlington Northern Railroad. Brown's post-retirement struggle to find fulfillment led him to write "And Goliath," a book on the challenges of transitioning from high-intensity careers and redefining personal success.    David Brown defied expectations to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. His journey, marked by perseverance and determination, took him from BUD/S training to the SEAL Teams, then to NCIS, and finally to the top echelons of Federal law enforcement. In his memoir "And Goliath," Brown shares his raw, honest story of overcoming obstacles in military life and beyond. His inspirational tale demonstrates how facing life's challenges head-on can lead to extraordinary achievements.   Mental and Physical Resilience: The SEAL training process pushes individuals beyond their perceived limits, teaching the importance of perseverance, grit, and mental toughness. The self is put last, with an ethos that success comes from placing the team’s mission above individual achievements, a mindset critical for high-stakes environments.\ Leading with Empathy, and Flexibility: Effective leaders lead by example, demonstrating the qualities they expect from their teams, and inspiring trust and commitment through their own actions. Understand your team members’ strengths, weaknesses, and needs, to foster a supportive environment where everyone thrives. Trust is the Foundation of Leadership: Effective teams are built on trust, where members rely on each other’s abilities and integrity to accomplish complex missions. A successful team requires everyone to know their roles and responsibilities, fostering cohesion and minimizing conflicts. Team members must hold each other accountable while also providing support during difficult moments, creating an environment where everyone works towards the same goal. Ethics and Integrity: Integrity is non-negotiable in both military and civilian roles, a strict adherence to ethics and integrity is vital. David emphasizes that compromising on these values undermines not only personal credibility but the entire organization’s effectiveness. Ethical lapses, no matter how small, can have long-term consequences, so it's crucial to always act in alignment with the highest ethical standards.   Zbiotics: Go to zbiotics.com/DIVINE to get 15% off your first order when you use DIVINE at checkout.

Limited-time discount available – don't miss out!   If you don't actively shape your future, it will be shaped for you. This is the core message Dr. Frederik G. Pferdt wants you to understand. To take control of your future, start by developing a "future ready" mindset. Cultivate optimism, openness, curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and empathy. Dr. Pferdt introduces an important concept: your "mind state." Unlike fixed mindsets, your mind state is your perception in each moment, and it's something you can change and control. By working on your mind state, you can alter how you experience and interact with the world around you. Shaping your future is also about your environment. Dr. Pferdt emphasizes the importance of intentionally designing your physical spaces to support your aspirations. Your surroundings significantly influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; Make sure they align with the future you're trying to create.   Dr. Frederik G. Pferdt, a pioneer in innovation and creativity, served as Google's inaugural Chief Innovation Evangelist and taught at Stanford University for over a decade. His visionary approach to living "future-ready" has been adopted by diverse organizations from the UN to NASA. With his work featured in over 250 media outlets worldwide, Dr. Pferdt's insights on shaping a better tomorrow are set to reach an even broader audience through his upcoming book, "What's Next Is Now – How to Live Future Ready."   Takeaways  Future Readiness Mindset: The most impactful way to shape your future is to focus on who you want to become, rather than external factors or material goals. This involves cultivating a mindset of optimism, openness, curiosity, experimentation, and empathy. The Power of Visualization and Future Self: Regularly visualizing and connecting with your desired future self can have a profound impact on achieving your goals. This practice helps align your current actions with your future aspirations. Emotions in Innovation: Innovation is deeply tied to emotions. Understanding and effectively managing the emotional roller coaster of excitement, disappointment, frustration, and humility is crucial for successful innovation and creativity. Situated Cognition and Environmental Design: Your physical environment significantly influences your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Intentionally designing your spaces to support your desired future state can have a powerful effect on your ability to achieve your goals and live "future ready".   Sponsors:    Wild Health  Visit WildHealth.com/UNBEATABLE and enter the promo code UNBEATABLE for an exclusive 20% discount on membership.  Embrace this opportunity to prioritize your health.
