Are you accidentally training yourself to be fragile?
We live in a world designed for comfort and predictability, but retired Navy SEAL Commander Rich Diviney says this culture of convenience is creating a hidden vulnerability. We're losing our ability to handle uncertainty. In this episode, host Jason Stonehouse explores why your comfort zone might be your biggest weakness and how to turn uncertainty from your enemy into your advantage.
Rich Diviney is a retired Navy SEAL Commander and bestselling author who spent over 20 years in the military completing 13 overseas deployments. He was in charge of SEAL selection and training, created the first-ever MIND Gym to help special operators perform under extreme stress, and has since worked with organizations like American Airlines, the San Francisco 49ers, and Deloitte on leadership and performance.
You'll discover the difference between peak performance and optimal performance, why anxiety is always fiction, and Rich's powerful "moving horizons" technique that Navy SEALs use to maintain control in chaotic environments. Plus, learn the simple question framework that can help you regain control when everything feels uncertain: "What do I know? What can I control?"
