Summary
This conversation is with Mark Divine. Mark and I first met a number of years ago at a high performance camp (Elite11). Mark served 20 years in the Navy SEALs, retiring in 2011 -- and has taken his insights and best practices from the SEAL's candidate mentoring program to create a warrior-leader training model that involves physical, mental, and emotional, and intuition training -- the idea was to create a training process for corporate teams, sport teams, first responders and warriors from all walks of life -- that were based on what he came to understand from training thousands of special operators candidates across the globe. The company names are SEALFIT (Physical and mental training), and Unbeatable Mind. The reason I wanted to connect with him -- is because he has sincere interest in helping people grow, by pushing their limits, as well as, he has a fantastic command of the basic mental skills that can either accelerate or inhibit progressive learning (pushing boundaries as a way to improve at an accelerate speed requires the intent to do so, and the mental skills to "stay in it" when it's hard." What I hope comes through this conversation is that if you're not training your mind -- seriously training your mind, you're not getting the most out of your potential. We go pretty deep into a handful of mental skills, as well as, specific ways to begin a mindfulness training program. There's no time like now to get started, or to re-start (over and over and over again) training your mind. It's not complicated, but it does take time. Know your ideal mindset (for the craft your invested in). Know the inner-dialog that supports and gets in your way. Invest in breathing, so that you can have a command of your activation levels when you need it. Know you philosophy, articulate your mission in life (in writing) -- and push limits every day so that you can figure out how to think when it doesn't go the way you had planned.

| 0:00.0 | Mastery is one and a progressive process of just integration refining the physical, |
| 0:08.4 | emotional, and spiritual until they merge as one and your experience as one and then you know you feel like you're just beginning |
| 0:16.7 | so your cup truly becomes empty and I think that when you can get to that point where you wake every day and you say, |
| 0:24.0 | and thank God I have another opportunity to work on my mastery because I've got a long way to go, right? |
| 0:31.0 | And then you empty your cup to receive more. |

| 0:50.0 | In the idea behind these conversations is to learn. |
| 0:54.0 | To learn from those who are on the path of mastery who have a point of view about how the world works, |
| 0:59.4 | how they work, how people work, how their unique world works, their craft if you will. |
| 1:05.0 | And we want to understand from them the insights that they've come to develop |
| 1:10.0 | so that we can apply those same insights and tactics and strategies from a |
| 1:15.0 | psychological standpoint in our own lives so that we can do and become and be more |

| 1:25.0 | Your brain is one of the hungriest organs in your body. |
| 1:28.0 | It's been found to consume roughly around 20% of your energy every day. |
| 1:33.0 | That means an important factor between the days you feel sluggish and the days that you feel sharp |
| 1:38.0 | is how fuel efficient your brain is. |
| 1:41.0 | And that's why I'm excited to be partnered with natural stacks. They've got a product, |
| 1:45.4 | they're dopamine brain food supplement that's designed to support the body's natural production of |
| 1:51.7 | dopamine. If you've ever had days where you felt tired or stressed or unmotivated, |
| 1:56.4 | those may be signs of suboptimal or low levels of dopamine, |
