About This Episode:

I hired someone new this last month, in a position that I had been very hesitant to fill: director of sales.

I previously just did not want to let it go, but to go next level its what I really needed to do; it turned out that it was the right decision.

I realized that I was actually the barrier to the next level of growth.

About This Episode:

Mark Divine left behind the corporate world to pursue his vision to become an elite Navy SEAL officer. At 26 he graduated as honor-man (#1 ranked trainee) of his SEAL BUD/s class number 170. Mark served for nine years total on Active Duty and eleven as a Reserve SEAL, retiring as Commander in 2011.

In 2006 he launched US Tactical, a government contracting business where he gained contracts with Naval Special Warfare Group ONE for training support and with the Navy Recruiting Command for a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL trainees. This latter program was credited with increasing the quality of Navy SEAL candidates and reducing the attrition rate at BUD/s by up to 5% and was the inspiration for SEALFIT.

Mark is an accomplished martial artist with black belts in Seido and Goju Ryu Karate, a military hand to hand combat certification in SCARS and senior ranking in Saito Nijutsu. He is teacher trained in Ashtanga Yoga, and created the innovative Unbeatable Warrior Yoga program taught to his students.

After working with thousands of special ops candidates and professionals developing mental toughness, Mark self-published his first book Unbeatable Mind in 2011 and launched the at-home study program www.unbeatablemind.com. He is also the author of The Way of the SEAL and 8 Weeks to SEALFIT.

About This Episode:

I by no means consider myself a digital nomad, we have an office and a great staff, but I believe that traveling increases your worldview and is incredible for personal development. 

I've learned a few things:

  • Look on Groupon or Living Social (They're the same company now, pick one)
  • Get an airline miles credit card; Capital One Venture Card is pretty good from what I've heard
  • Check out Travel Zoo; only sign up for their top 20 email list otherwise you'll get spammed
  • Book closer to travel to get better rates
  • Use sites like Orbitz for last-minute deals, but do your first search in an incognito window because they'll cookie you and the price will go up
  • Download Google maps for the cities you're going to on WiFi; they'll work on airplane mode (including the GPS, which is EPIC).
  • Use public transportation (Trains ROCK), many cities sell a 48 hour or 7-day pass for unlimited public transportation
  • Avoid taxis, they can be expensive or untrustworthy, use Uber where available. 
  • Eat off the beaten path, it won't be what the people really eat and will be 5x as expensive; stay in residential areas.
  • If you are confused and need help, walk into the largest name brand hotel, collect yourself, act like you're staying there and ask for help.
  • Travel in the offseason; it's cheaper
  • Visit sites on a weekday

About This Episode:

We're back to our regular show format, as you, the listener have spoken and did not like my changes; without you all there is no show, so I'm here to give you what's needed and wanted.

In this short episode, we look at the idea of fear actually being an indicator of the direction that you should go. If it scares you, then it generally means you will have to grow in order to become that person.

About This Episode:

After developing an affinity for design while in the costume department in high school, Rebecca Minkoff moved to New York City at only 18 years old to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion designer.

In 2005, Rebecca designed her first handbag, which she soon dubbed the “Morning After Bag,” a.k.a. the “M.A.B.” This iconic bag ignited Rebecca’s career as a handbag designer and inspired her edgy, feminine creations in the years to come. 

After four years of designing statement-making handbags and accessories with her trademark leathers, studs and hardware, Rebecca returned to her roots of apparel design and introduced her first ready-to-wear collection in 2009.

The brand has four domestic retail stores, eight international locations, and is distributed in over 900 stores worldwide. In 2011, Rebecca won industry recognition when she was awarded the Breakthrough Designer Award from the Accessories Council. 

In September of 2018, she established the Female Founder Collective, a network of businesses led by women that invests in women’s financial power across the socio-economic spectrum by enabling and empowering female-owned businesses.
