Leadership and Resilience from the Inside Out with Mark Divine


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Dr. Robyne is joined by retired U.S. Navy SEAL Commander, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and coach Mark Divine for a timely conversation about what it means to lead and live with greater self-awareness, adaptability, and authenticity. 

Together, they explore evidence-based practices for building resilience in an ever-changing and uncertain world, and how grounding habits, such as breathwork and mindfulness, quietly build the inner steadiness we rely on in both big moments and the small rhythms of everyday life. 

Mark also reflects on a recent experience that tested his perspective and brought forward deep gratitude and hope, offering a gentle reminder of the lessons that can emerge from life’s unexpected turns. 

This episode invites you to re-examine your relationship with challenge, embrace meaningful discomfort, and discover practices that resource you to stay steady and present, no matter what life brings. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • What it means to live and lead in a world that can feel volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous 
  • Why resilient leadership is an “inside job,” and how slowing down and turning inward unlocks clarity and inner wisdom 
  • How Mark began integrating ancient Eastern wisdom into his SEAL training 
  • The transformational power of practices like breathwork, box breathing, and mindfulness in fostering calm, adaptability, and creativity 
  • Insights on why discomfort and challenge are necessary for authentic development 
  • The importance of making time for stillness, self-inquiry, and moving beyond “neck up” living to access your whole self 
  • Why hope is a trainable skill
