The Mark Divine Show

Today, Commander Divine is reading another chapter from the newest edition of Unbeatable Mind. In his reading, he addresses how stress is not the problem, but how you deal with it is. If you understand the importance of your own decisions, then you will recognize how you create your own realities and stresses.

Learn about how:

• It is essential to remember breathwork and box breathing for managing stress.
• There is a difference between mindfulness and concentration meditation, and it’s better to learn concentration first.
• There are four attitudes of emotional resiliency: self-esteem, orientation toward others, positivity, and self-control.

Listen to this episode to get a better understanding of stress and how you can manage it—and even make it work for you.

Today Mark talks with Jake Wood about his experiences with leadership, the Marine Corps, and the founding of Team Rubicon-the disaster relief team made largely of former military members.

He is also the author of the upcoming book called Once a Warrior: How One Veteran Found a New Mission Closer to Home.

Hear how: True leadership is love-leadership means you always have a stake in the lives of the people you're leading

There are different kinds of courage and while physical courage is what we generally think of, moral courage is also completely integral

Team Rubicon serves as an inspiration for Americans, but how we respond to disasters is our choice alone 

Listen to this conversation to find out more about leadership and finding your mission in life during these VUCA times.
