Summary

At the start of the year, we are always thinking about goals like losing extra weight, eating healthier, and managing our finances more efficiently, but what about wildly important goals? Have you ever set a goal so challenging that it takes you beyond your limits and changes you forever?

Today's guest is Mark Divine. He is a former Navy SEAL commander, founder of SEALfit, and author of The Unbeatable Mind. His book was the inspiration for The Dad Edge and he was the first big guest on the show. Mark Divine just completed a burpee challenge to raise money and awareness for veteran suicides, which occur at the horrifying rate of every 22 seconds. This wasn't a one-time event, but a year-long commitment of doing 300 burpees every single day.

Mark talks about how he pulls through and even thrives on these kinds of challenges. It's not all grit. He uses breathing techniques, yoga, meditation, and intuition. You will be awed by the insights he shares in this interview. Save this episode to stay connected to your goals so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labor at the end of this year.

0:00.0	We are men. We are warriors. We are dads with a purpose. Dad's with an edge. We sharpen our skills so we can show up best for others.
0:15.0	We have one shot in life to be a dad.
0:20.0	Why not make it epic?
0:38.0	So my question for you guys is in one year time one one year's time, could you do 100,000 burpees? Could you do that? Could you even think about doing that? Does that goal seem so huge that there's no way
0:46.8	it's even possible?
0:48.6	That's what my guest did in 2019. And this show is timely because it's the first show of 2019 so in
0:56.4	2018 my guest today did 100,000 burpees yes 100,000 and he did this to represent the
1:08.9	veterans who unfortunately commit suicide every 22 seconds due to PTSD.
1:14.4	So he did this for a great cause, not to mention the fact he broke the world record
1:20.2	for team burpees in a-hour period where he and five other people did over, get this, dramatic
1:30.6	pause, over 35,000 burpees in 24 hours. It's insane. My guest today did 7 to 9,000 of those 35,000. Again, he was a part of a six-man team.
1:48.0	So what we're going to be talking about today is a plethora of all kinds of things, but my guest today

2:14.0	way of the seal Kakura yoga

2:20.6	called Uncommon. I cannot wait to pick up a copy of this book. But Mark and I, Mark actually came on the show, I mean way way back when in 2015 when I first started the podcast and if I could share a story of
2:35.9	information of inspiration for you guys to you guys it's when I read the book Unbeatable Mind in 2014, it was one of those books that I read it once.
2:46.8	I read it again.
2:48.2	Then I bought the book on audio and I just became a sponge for the information and I listened to it over and over and over again.
2:55.4	I think in that year I listened to it 12 times and that was really the catalyst that really sparked me to do something different in my life and that was the
