In this episode of The Tim Castle Show, I sit down with one of the brightest minds I’ve ever had on the show — former Navy SEAL commander, elite performance coach, and bestselling author Rich Diviney.
We dive deep into his new book, Masters of Uncertainty: The Navy SEAL Way to Turn Stress Into Success for You and Your Team, and uncover how the SEALs stay calm, composed, and effective in the most chaotic situations imaginable.
Rich shares the Mastering Uncertainty Method, revealing why success isn’t superhuman — it’s about rewiring your relationship with stress, building trust, and learning to adapt on the fly. You’ll hear:
- Why the Osama Bin Laden raid succeeded even though nothing went to plan
- The surprising difference between peak performance and optimal performance
- How to transform stress into energy and composure when it matters most
- Why most teams say they want adaptability but fail to build the trust it requires
- How to train your mind to stay cool, get going, and anchor in the present
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep moving when your world is spinning, this episode will change how you think about stress, leadership, and your own potential.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
