1 小时 7 分钟Because I started to experience some intuitive moments, and in those moments, I could see and feel myself as a different type of person.
And what kept.
When I tried to put a word to it, it just kept coming back to warrior.
Today's guest, Mark Devine, is not who I thought he'd be.
When I was out in Encinitas in southern California, I had a chance to swing by his seal fit exercise location, about a 20,000 square foot location where he trained some pretty high level people.
And as we found sort of a yoga studio off on the side, which is where we recorded this, actually.
So you hear a little bit of a different microphone quality that explains why you probably a little bit of an echo or slightly different.
We sat down, and I found a guy who had started in life in sort of a preordained path.
He was kind of destined and expected to join the family business as generations before him had, and just continue on that way.
He made a radical left turn that he didn't see coming, his family didn't see coming, and he decided to become a navy seal in a family where actually the military path wasn't exactly looked upon as the way that you would move up in the world.
He made a really radical departure, and that profoundly changed his life.
He rose up the ranks, became a commander and a very well known person within the seals and also within the military.
And during this whole time, he had actually started practicing martial arts and sitting Zen from a very young age, in his twenties, and developing a very deep exploration of mindset practices and stillness.
And this informed a lot of what he was doing in the military.
And it awakened him to the idea that beneath everything, beneath the ability to not just survive, but thrive in the toughest environments in the world, some of the most extreme circumstances, it really all came down to mindset.
He started codifying a lot of his ideas and integrating these completely different worlds into a methodology he calls unbeatable mind and a book by the same name.
And then training this methodology not just to see, but to elite military teams and to elite level athletes and people in the executive and corporate environment.
So when I had a chance to sit down with him and really deconstruct where did all this come from?
I was amazed to really see how he pulled disparate worlds and ideologies and philosophies together to create something truly impactful and unique.
Really excited to share this conversation with you.
