Summary

Rich Diviney is a retired Navy SEAL Commander. In a career spanning more than twenty years, he completed more than thirteen overseas deployments, eleven of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan.

As the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, he spearheaded the creation of a SEAL directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. He led his small team to create the first ever "Mind Gym" in Naval Special Warfare that helped SEALs train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better, especially in high-stress environments.

Since his retirement, Diviney has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant, training more than five thousand business, athletic, and military leaders.

0:00.0	What's up, everybody. Welcome back. My guest today is Rich Divini. 20 plus years as a Navy SEAL officer, 13 overseas deployments, 11 of those being between Afghanistan and Iraq, worked his way up through the rank infrastructure. Commanding officer of one of the assault squadrons over at development group for a time.
0:21.1	He talks about all of this.
0:22.5	And we talk a little bit about his career as well.
0:26.1	But I tell you what, this conversation, he's an author.
0:28.0	Let me add that, by the way, because actually we talked about, I would say, the content of his books more than anything.
0:33.6	Two books.
0:34.0	Masters of Uncertainty and then the Attributes.
0:37.3	We had a fascinating conversation
0:39.2	about attributes and skills, which ones determine outcome, why people quit in Bud, how to

1:15.5	sit down, reconnect and talk about what he's got going on. I really enjoyed the conversation about
1:20.6	the attributes and skills and problem solving and just successfully completing your goals.
1:26.0	So episode 387 is going to be with
1:28.4	Rich Devini. Give me an interview to here. Let me pay the bills so I can keep bringing the podcast
1:32.4	to everybody for free. Today's episode is brought to you by Black Rifle Coffee. You guys know the
1:40.0	brand. You know I'm tied into the brand. I'm incredibly good friends with the founder, Evan. I own
1:44.2	one of the coffee shops up here in Montana. None of that can benefit you the listener. But what can
