A couple of years ago, during a dark period of my journey with depression, my Dad recommended a book by former Navy SEAL Commander Mark Divine called “Unbeatable Mind.” That book transformed the way I understand my inner life by giving me the tools to change my thoughts by tapping into innate power, which I felt like I had lost access to.
Mark is a severely impressive entrepreneur, leader, and coach. He’s the founder of SEALFIT, and a New York Times bestselling author known for his expertise in leadership, resilience, and mental toughness. After graduating as Honor Man of his SEAL BUD/S class, Mark served in the SEALs for 20 years, both on active duty and in the reserves, where he led numerous operations worldwide. His distinguished military career laid the foundation for his unique approach to personal and professional development.
Mark is the author of several influential books, including "The Way of the SEAL," "Unbeatable Mind," (the one that changed things for me!) and "Staring Down the Wolf," which provide actionable insights into achieving peak performance and developing an unbeatable mind. His SEALFIT training programs and Unbeatable Mind Academy have empowered thousands of individuals to push beyond their limits, enhance their physical and mental capabilities, and achieve extraordinary success in all areas of life.
A sought-after speaker and coach, Mark Divine combines his extensive military experience with a deep understanding of human potential. His work continues to inspire and equip individuals worldwide to navigate life's challenges with strength and clarity, embodying the warrior spirit in every endeavor.
I’m excited to share this conversation in honor of Father’s Day because it was my Dad who first connected me to Mark’s life-changing work. I hope this conversation inspires you and leaves you feeling empowered to stare down the wolf in your own life and unleash the warrior spirit within you that’s aching to set you free.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
