Listen Later

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, former Navy SEAL Commander Rich Diviney strips away the fluff and dives into the raw science behind what makes or breaks human performance. 


It's not about skills — those can be taught — but about the deep-rooted attributes that drive behavior in the heat of battle. From mastering fear to summoning courage, this conversation is not for the faint-hearted. It's for those who understand that thriving under pressure is the only way to survive.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The undeniable impact natural attributes have on pushing you to elite performance
  • How to rewire your brain and shape your destiny through neuroplasticity
  • Why embracing fear is your only shot at unlocking real courage

  • This conversation isn’t about motivation. It’s about transformation. Brace yourself for a mindset overhaul that will force you to confront the truth about who you are and what you’re capable of becoming.
