What if the biggest battle you'll ever fight isn't on a battlefield—but within yourself?
This week on The Self-Leadership Lab, Bobby Shelton welcomes retired Navy SEAL Commander, bestselling author, and leadership expert Mark Divine for a conversation that goes far beyond resilience and performance.
Mark shares the unlikely path that led him from Wall Street to the Navy SEALs, how meditation reshaped his understanding of leadership, and why many of us spend our lives following a script we never consciously chose.
Together they explore identity, purpose, fear, suffering, visualization, spiritual growth, and what it truly means to govern your inner world before leading others.
You'll learn:
• Why success alone never satisfies
• The power of asking, "Who am I?"
• How visualization can shape your future
• Why discomfort is necessary for growth
• The relationship between self-awareness and leadership
• How to pursue freedom instead of simply achievement
If you've ever felt successful on the outside but unsettled on the inside, this episode is for you.
