How does a Navy SEAL approach resilience, daily performance, and building a purpose-driven business?

In this compelling episode, Dan Nicholson sits down with Mark Divine, retired Navy SEAL and founder of Unbeatable Mind, to explore how lessons from elite military training apply to entrepreneurship. They delve into the discipline, resilience, and emotional awareness necessary for high-stakes environments and how entrepreneurs can cultivate these qualities to thrive in a volatile, uncertain world.

Key Takeaways:


  • Earn Your "A" Game Daily: Just as SEALs show up every day at peak performance, entrepreneurs need to consistently bring their best, treating each day as a new mastery project.
  • Embrace Resilience in Failure: Mark shares that failure isn’t an option in SEAL training—it’s a stepping stone for learning. This mindset helps entrepreneurs learn and adapt instead of fearing setbacks.
  • Purpose over Ego: Ego-driven goals are detrimental in the military and business. Mark explains why a more profound purpose is essential to sustain motivation, especially during challenging times.
  • Double-Loop Learning and the OODA Loop: Adopting iterative reflection and the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act loop helps entrepreneurs stay agile and avoid rigidity in fast-paced environments.
  • Daily and Evening Rituals: Implementing consistent practices, like Mark’s “evening debrief,” can enhance performance and apparent regrets and keep energy focused on goals.


Quote: “Failure is expected, but it’s how you respond and learn from it that counts. In both life and business, resilience is about bouncing back smarter and stronger.”
