But the misery and pain that is often associated with buds is not merely limited to that

of the body. Founder of Seal Fit and retired Navy SEAL

Mark Devine explains that to be successful in some of life's seemingly insurmountable challenges,

and unshakable ethos.

How do you cultivate your own? Mark suggests a few tactics. First, to truly serve in sport,

But really what, you know, Mark originally invited me down there was to talk about training. And unfortunately, fortunately or unfortunately, it just ran in a million different directions. I know. That sounds like that's right. Yeah, exactly. It should go in those directions, right because that that's, that's where the juice is. Yeah. And, you know, and then you bring in people that actually have opinions and ideas. And the one thing that I really am excited to talk about today is, you know, not only cultivating a proper mindset, but I know that, you know, your deal with the unbreakable mind is really about you know cultivating you know mental toughness and I kind of hate using that word
