Mark Divine: Founder and CEO of SEALFIT, NY Times Best Selling Author Aug 02, 2016

Show notes

In today's podcast, we welcome Mark Divine to the squad. Mark is a New York Times best-selling author, CEO/founder of SEALFIT and NavySeals.com, a former Navy Seal (retiring as a commander in 2011), with an exceptional expertise in mediation and visualization. I'm more than excited to introduce Mr. Divine, as our conversation is filled with key pointers to improve your game. Mark can help you transform your life, as he was taught to "EMBRACE the suck". This man finds joy in hardships, and you can too. Think about it for a second... If you can learn to love doing things that you're afraid of, 'hard work' will NOT be an obstacle.
