The Mark Divine Show

Be inspired, and don't measure your success by how many boxes get checked off on a to-do list. Stop making to-do lists and start mapping out your day with how much time you will spend on each task you are committed to doing.   Technology is a tool that can help build healthy and lasting habits, according to author and consultant Nir Eyal (@NirEyal). Nir’s groundbreaking book Hooked is a guide to building products people use because they want to, not because they have to. In his new book Indistractable, Nir teaches from the intersection of psychology, technology, and business to lead us to what is possible if we follow through on our best intentions, stay focused, and overcome distractions.    Nir Eyal (@Nir Eyal) writes, consults, and teaches about the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. A Graduate of Stanford School of Business and crusader for utilizing technology to build unique and healthy habits, Nir has written two books, Hooked and Indistratable. Both books are rooted in research and passion for the betterment of humanity. Nir lives in Singapore with his wife and daughter.   “Just because it's a work-related task, doesn't mean it's not a distraction.”  - Nir Eyal   Key Takeaways:   Real Distractions Begin Within: We tend to blame our phones, computers, kids, boss, and all external things like that. But studies find that external distractions are only 10% of what pulls us away from our focused tasks. The other 90% of our distractions are internal triggers. For example, if you overeat, often it is the internal distraction of a feeling—feelings like loneliness, boredom, shame, etc. Distractions begin from within.   Addiction vs. Habit: Addiction is defined as a persistent compulsive dependency on a behavior or substance that harms the user. There is no such thing as a good addiction. By definition, addictions are destructive. Habits are defined as a settled or regular tendency or practice. We want good habits in our life. We all have good habits or bad habits.    All Products are Used to Modulate Mood: Apps and other products we use are designed to activate our internal triggers. Internal triggers are born from an uncomfortable emotional state we seek to escape. Boredom, loneliness, fatigue, desire, curiosity, and uncertainty is what habit-forming products attach themselves to. Whenever you feel an emotion, you become internally activated to use a product such as an app, device, or item. Find products that empower you to build healthy habits and live a good life.   Traction and Distraction: What do traction and distraction mean? The opposite word to distraction is traction. Traction and distraction both come from the same Latin root, traho, which means to pull. Traction, by definition, is any action that pulls you toward what you said you would do—the opposite of traction is distraction. Distraction is any action that pulls you away from what you plan to do, from your values and goals, and from becoming the person you want to become. The difference between what is traction and distraction is to decide in advance how we want to spend our time.

A lot of our beliefs have been given to us by our parents, because of their circumstances and their beliefs and their philosophy of life and their culture.    A subconscious pattern detective, belief therapist, healer of the psyche, Lion Goodman (@LionGoodman) has been known and sought after because he evokes the best in others. He is the founder and CEO of the Clear Beliefs Institute, a company dedicated to awakening, healing, and enlightening humanity so we can get on with the job of being fully human. As a coach and author Lion is working in collaboration to create a world that works for everyone to create a sustainable and thriving planetary civilization.   Lion Goodman (@LionGoodman) survived being shot 4 times in the head and came out from the experience with a deep understanding of human consciousness. He is the author of five books. His book, Clear Your Beliefs, is a guide and manual for how to uncover your subconscious drivers and step into a new system of conscious understanding.   “My favorite saying that I've heard is things are getting better and better, and worse and worse, in more and more places faster and faster.”  - Lion Goodman   Key Takeaways:   Multidimensional Existence:  We are multidimensional beings. In this moment, you are seeing, hearing, feeling, and touching in your body and in your experience. We are constantly looking through this technology of senses and perception. This technology allows us to connect. We are physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, relational, and energetic beings; we have all these things going on simultaneously.   Pattern Recognition:  We start forming before we have language. A baby in the womb can recognize the difference between the mother's and father's voices. And it's the pattern recognition system that begins to build a self. We start to develop the identity of this is who I am, what I do, and how I respond to people. Beliefs are all of the patterns that have been set from when we were in the womb. We can recognize these subconscious patterns, bring them to the surface, and change our operating systems.   Try on Beliefs: Your beliefs create your experience. If we can realize this, we can begin to try on views and see how they feel, just like you would try on different outfits. You can also try on other people's beliefs, which can help you create empathy. Beliefs that don't serve you can be put down, and you can create new and empowering ones.   Historical and Present Perception: Historically, belonging and figuring out how to exist in the social system was crucial for survival. A driving instinct 16,000 years ago was, how do I be in this environment and make it safe? These ideas of looking around, seeing the problems, and then solving them were crucial to our development as humans. In today's world, humans are still doing this. It is baked into our humanity to see where the problems are and then to solve them.

Culture is at its core behavior at scale. You want people who behave the same way whether the CEO is in the room or not.   Former NFL player, International speaker, author, and expert in leadership development, Matt Mayberry (@Matt Mayberry) utilizes his professional athletic experience to inform how culture change can impact organizational performance. His new book, Culture is The Way is a hands-on blueprint for leaders to elevate employee engagement and breed a culture for peak productivity.   After recovering from drug addiction and losing his lifelong dream of being a professional baseball player, Matt Mayberry (@Matt Mayberry) turned his life into gold. He found his way to the NFL with the help of loving parents, wonderful mentors, and a positive mindset. Only getting to play one game due to a permanent injury, Matt once again turned lemons into lemonade and has become a sought-after educator, speaker, and consultant on business culture and team productivity.   “In order to fully impact another life, you first have to impact your life and become a lifelong learner.”  - Matt Mayberry   Key Takeaways:   Your 5 Closest Friends:  Motivational speaker Jim Rohn is known in many circles for saying, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” Although this may seem cliche many times, there is truth and weight to that statement. If you are in a place in life where you want to make positive changes, pay attention to the people around you and how it is taking away from or assisting you in your future vision.   Vulnerability: Vulnerability from a parent, mentor, teacher, or friend can ignite compassion and understanding within ourselves. More and more research shows that leaders succeed more with employee retention and productivity when they show up authentic and vulnerable.   Perception: There are more than two perspectives in any given situation. Staying curious and appreciating the different points of view that each of us brings into environments allows the development of organizations and the individuals on the team to innovate and create multifaceted offerings. Perception change for hiring, culture at work, and communication is worth entertaining if you feel stuck as a leader.   Make Opinions Matter: Creating a trusting environment for a strong team of employees builds trust when people know that they have a voice and that it counts. The leaders that understand the significance of that and operate with a deeper purpose to what they do in the business world, and a sense in the market, are beginning to understand that we're not just in business to use employees to build the company. They are in business also to develop their people. Promotions:   Wild Health Wild Health just opened 10 spots in their Premium Program for MARK DIVINE SHOW listeners.

Rapid learning is important, and seeing that there is no such thing as failure. That doesn’t mean you don’t fail. It just means you see failure as an opportunity to learn.   Culture is a buzzword many of us don’t know how to define. Award-winning and best-selling author Dr. Soren Kaplan(@Dr.SorenKaplan) has made it one of his missions to educate individuals and companies on how to be a high-level cooperative culture. Dr. Kaplan is a columnist for Inc Magazine and an affiliate at The Center for Effective Organizations at USC’s Marshall School of Business. He's led strategy and innovation at HP, Hewlett Packard. And advises and delivers leadership programs to thousands of executives around the world.    Best-selling author of the groundbreaking book Experiential Intelligence Dr. Soren Kaplan (@Dr.SorenKaplan) has found that everyone has dormant gifts that can be utilized in the workplace. Soren’s work has appeared in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fast Company, CNBC, NPR, Strategy & Leadership, The International Handbook on Innovation, and many other academic and popular business media. At the age of 13, he won the first-ever video game contest on the Commodore 64 computer.  “ Create mentoring opportunities, create an innovation team. You don't want just the season people on it. You want the young, new, you know, kind of up-and-comers in it. And that diversity of age as well and experience is also important.” - Dr. Soren Kaplan   Key Takeaways:   Cross-Generational Mentorship: There is a huge exodus of people in their 60s leaving the workforce that takes a vast amount of skills and knowledge with them. It is important for companies and individuals to rethink the retirement and onboarding of new talent. The wise thing to do is pair the older generations with the younger ones through mentorship and coaching so that the skills and knowledge of those leaving the workforce get passed down.     Defining Culture: Culture can be an amorphous term. Culture is, at its root, the norms and values that shape behavior. And those norms and values oftentimes fly under the radar. Defining or creating culture is a simple cycle; People have experiences, and those experiences shape their beliefs about right or wrong behavior. These beliefs shape people’s behavior. Leaders can intervene and create new and different experiences for people and allow the art of communication, discovery, and interaction to lead the team to define their culture.   Going Deep Increases Productivity: Whether we are aware of it or not, we all bring our whole selves to work. In order to increase productivity letting go of the old model of compartmentalizing who you are or have to be at work is liberating and increases productivity. Many people have hidden abilities and talents that are not listed on their resumes. Getting to know the people you work with or work for and their untapped abilities increases creativity and job retention.    Experiential Learning: In essence, we all have to practice coping while growing up. The street or social smarts we develop as we live build skills that can be applied to that 10,000 Hour Rule, whether we're doing formal or informal stuff. This experiential learning is an opportunity to acknowledge informal skills that get overlooked. And companies can leverage them if they let go of some of the old rules of what an applicant should have on their resume.

You can expand yourself and your sense of the world in ways that will be surprising to you, stay curious, and take the time to understand the depth of those around you.    Walter Kenneth Kilpatrick Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University Dr. Brian Lowery (@Dr. Brian Lowery) is a social psychologist whose new book, Selfless: The Social Creation of You, presents a provocative, powerful theory of identity, arguing that there is no essential "self"—our selves are social creations of those with whom we interact. He is passionate about the global discussion of equity and how each individual perceives life through the lens of having advantages vs. disadvantages. His work is one of inquiry where he asks you, the student, skeptic, or reader, to come to your own conclusions after entertaining his research, ideas, and assertions.  Advocate, social psychologist, and author Dr. Brian Lowery(@ Dr. Brian Lowery) is Walter Kenneth Kilpatrick Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University. He has been an important voice in discussing white privilege and investigating social, institutional, and personal bias from learned or lived experience. His new book, Selfless: The Social Creation of You, is based on empirical science that reads with unintentional notes of Buddhism.  “The self is kind of like a time machine. You can think about the past through the self of who are you right now!” - Dr. Brian Lowery   Key Takeaways: Engaging with People: We are the center of our own world and our life regarding our experiences. Your experiences are deep, interesting, and broad. All people on this planet's experiences are deep, interesting, and broad. Engaging with people with this mindset will enrich your life. Consider Who You Are: The Self is flexible, fluid, and changing over time. Consider what that means. How does the Self change? Also, how do you want the Self to change? What kind of situations will produce the type of change you'd like to have? Notice how your relationships impact the direction you are evolving because relationships are a fundamental part of being human. To be human is to be in relation with other human beings and your environment.    Responsibility as a Leader:  As a leader (and we are all leading whether we are aware of this agency or not), what you do or don’t do impacts everyone around you. Being a leader is not something to ignore. All of us are affecting those around us. When you engage with people in various situations, as a leader, pay attention to your and their desires. This attention will help you be responsible for those people and the outcomes you are co-creating together.  Small Interactions are Meaningful: The brief conversation you have in line at the grocery store can and does have meaning. You can expand yourself and your sense of the world in ways that will be surprising to you if you take the small interactions you have day to day more seriously. When you talk with people, ask them real questions, and listen to what they say. You don't have to agree with it, and you don't have to like them even. But if you listen, you will find something there for you in that brief moment or their answer. The Sameness in Everybody: You get to know and develop more self-awareness through meditation. When you go deep within yourself, you understand that there is a sameness and synchronicity with everyone you meet. That's the essence of spiritual practices to touch into what makes us alive and creates us.  Promotions: Kion You can now save 20% on monthly deliveries and 10% on one-time purchases.

It's really important to become aware of your own attentional capacity and understand when your tank is starting to get low. Our attention has become a commodity and is getting hijacked by technology. Dr. Gloria Mark (@Dr.GloriaMark) is the author of a groundbreaking book called Attention Span. Attention Span is a must-read as it covers Dr. Mark's decades of research into how our minds have been affected in the digital age. Gloria received her Ph.D. from Columbia University in psychology. She studies the impact of digital media on people's lives. Her work is a deep dive into examining multitasking, interruptions, mood, and productivity due to digital devices becoming so intricate in our lives. She has published over 200 articles and has presented her work at multiple venues.   Author and Creative Dr. Gloria Mark(@Dr.GloriaMark) is a Chancellor's professor of Informatics at the University of California Irvine. She has published and presented her work in venues such as the Aspen Ideas Festival, and it's appeared in popular media such as New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, BBC, Atlantic, and more. Her new book, Attention Span is a must-read as it covers Dr. Mark’s decades of research into how our minds have been affected in the digital age.  “We have a limited set of attentional resources, or it's been called mental resources or cognitive resources. And you can think of it as your attentional capacity. And it's limited, these resources are limited, and they're very precious.” - Dr. Gloria Mark   Key Takeaways:   3 Types of Attention: Intentional attention is when you use your mental focus to do an activity such as writing, lifting weights, or scuba diving. Exogenous attention, or the default mode network, is when we respond to things outside of us. Kinetic attention is shifting from an iPhone to a computer or from one screen to another. Recent studies show that most people average 40 seconds per screen.   Technology as and Extension of Self: Devices like cellular phones and computers have become an extension of ourselves. Our lives have become intimately intertwined with their devices in this modern age. However, where is the line, and how can we draw it? Learning to be sovereign from our devices and drawing a healthy line for our identity is important.   Switch Cost: Every time you switch your attention, you incur an extra cost in time. Imagine you have an internal whiteboard in your mind and are writing everything you need for a specific task; if you switch in the middle of that list, you are erasing the board for the new task you have changed to. Therefore, when you return to the first task, it takes longer to reorient yourself. Multitasking or switching focus takes time and creates exhaustion and a lack of clarity.   Saying No in Service to Your Yes: Monotasking, a good night's sleep, and taking breaks throughout your day allows you to have balanced energy levels and replenish them if needed. Knowing how to say no in service to your bigger yes will allow you to be clear on what tasks/commitments are important and which ones you need to let go of or delegate to others.

There is value in having fun and evolving oneself while being dedicated to a vision through hard work and play. Curiosity and drive are two of the key tools in successful entrepreneurship. Angelo Keely(@AngeloKeely) is passionate about both of these tools. His background in religious studies, both western and eastern, help frame his mindset whenever he begins a new endeavor. Angelo is the Co-Founder and CEO of Kion, a nutritional supplement company that is focused on bringing the best product to the public.    Co-Founder and CEO of Kion Angelo Keely (@AngeloKeely), created the company motivated by the mission to support athletes. Kion brings the highest grade ingredients in delicious and simple supplementation for muscle health and development. Angelo is passionate about staying in motion and living a fulfilling life. His belief is that success means loving and healthy relationships with himself, family, and peers. “ There's no free lunch. Same thing with business, there's no way to just like make tons of money in the super easy way. Maybe like out of luck. Same thing with health. There's no magic secret to health.” - Angelo Keely   Key Takeaways:   Embodiment: As our world becomes more and more mechanistic and digital it is important to stay embodied. Embodiment is a daily practice of using our physical body through exercise and presence. Developing somatic awareness is multilayered and essential to live an embodied life.     Meditation, Health, and Nature: Meditation is not a goal oriented practice. It is a practice of learning how to be with oneself regardless of the circumstances of the mind. Meditation in nature is a fulfilling combination to regenerate and create more harmony and balance throughout the body. If your physical body is not healthy enough that may limit spiritual or mental or other types of development. Being in nature, your breath, and your thoughts, will eventually  get you to a point where you develop an honest relationship with yourself.    Amino Acids: There are nine essential amino acids that help the body build healthy muscle. The supplementation of amino acids is a proficient way of giving your body what it needs as a fuel to build strong and healthy muscle mass. Amino acids create all of the new muscle protein synthesis. Once you consume essential amino acids, either as a supplement or as a whole food protein, your body enters a process of muscle protein synthesis that lasts about three hours.   Personal Commitments: One of the themes that is pervading the wellness industry is commitment. The question to ask oneself is who are you committed to being? What are your core values, ethics, and beliefs? Living in integrity through those commitments means that they are at the forefront of all your words and actions Kion You can now save 20% on monthly deliveries and 10% on one-time purchases.

We train police and military how to overcome the challenges of being physically safe. It's time to show them tools of how to overcome the psychological impact and challenges from being in the field as an active duty officer. Police and Military personal have a higher rate of suicide than the civilian population. Mark Bouchard (@MarkBouchard) is currently with Canada's national police force, the RCMP. He was a SWAT operator and a medic who has developed a passion for mental health after suffering his own psychological injury back in 2015. Mark has taught dozens of mental health training sessions and spent seven years as a peer support member. His new book, Setting My Sights On Stigma: Thoughts From an Injured Mind, is an offering of information on how to navigate and heal from the psychological injuries from being on the front line.    Mark Bouchard (@MarkBouchard) is creating a course on police culture and lethal force decisions for The First Responder Behavioral Health Institute. His new book, Setting My Sights On Stigma: Thoughts From an Injured Mind, is an offering of information on how to navigate and heal from the psychological injuries of being on the front line. Mark is a father, mental health advocate, and active duty police officer in the Canadian national force. “The reality is, everyone is different in their versions of the impact of trauma, whether it's PTSD, depression, anxiety, they'll be impacted in different ways, and different treatments can help them.”  - Mark Bouchard Key Takeaways:   Destigmatizing PTSD: PTSD is a diagnosis that can trap many in feeling helpless, less than, and out of control. Leaders in the military and police services are fighting to destigmatize the negative connotations of this diagnosis so that people do not feel afraid to come forward and get the help they need.    The New Way: Drinking too much alcohol and eating to deal with stress has been acceptable coping mechanisms in many professional communities. It is becoming common knowledge that these behaviors only add more stress on the mental, physical and emotional bodies. The new way is a path of healing and health and it works; get good sleep, eat well, journal thoughts and feelings, and get support.    Psychological Preventative Training: Suicide is becoming more common for active duty police and military. It is becoming obvious and urgent that police and military programs implement preventative psychological training for new recruits. Preventative training can help educate personnel in the forces on PTSD, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation so they know what is happening if it comes up and how to get help.   People Who Love to Serve: When you ask new recruits going into the military or police fields why they want to join the force. The #1 answer is, “to help people”. Most people go into the field of policing or military because they truly want to be of service to the community, state, and country.  Caldera Lab Get 20% OFF with our code DIVINE at https://calderalab.com/divine .

Don’t be afraid to give control as a leader. The most successful teams work hard, have compassion, and understand how to transfer leadership between teammates. Renowned sport’s journalist John U Bacon (@JohnUBacon) has a passion for leadership and teams. He won the Award of the Night Wallace Fellowship for journalism from the University of Michigan. And most interesting, he took the worst high school hockey team as a coach from the worst to one of the best in the country in four years. He is the author of 11 books, seven of which are national bestsellers. His most recent book is a New York Times Best Seller; Let Them Lead: Unexpected Lessons in Leadership From America’s Worst High School Hockey Team, shares insights on leadership and the power of making things hard.  John U. Bacon (@John U Bacon) career as a leader and teacher spans three decades. He has won awards for being an inspiring writer, a public speaker, and a college instructor. Bacon has taught at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, and teaches at the University of Michigan. Although he is a mediocre hockey player his excitement and knowledge of sports has made national history. “ You are very impatient with behaviors and very patient with results. If your attitude is good, and you're doing all things I'm telling you to do and our processes are correct. If you follow those, you will get there and worry less about the results and more about the process. ”  - John U. Bacon Key Takeaways:   High Bar: Keeping a high bar allows people to rise to the challenge. People prove over and over again that when things are hard and challenging it inspires them to want to do better and become more comfortable with failure. When the bar is held high it teaches people they are more capable and can exceed their own expectations.   Team Leadership: Strong and successful teams let go of the hierarchical models. The ones in “control” or “command” know when to defer to those in lower ranks when the mission calls for it. Strong leadership is understanding that everyone can lead and needs to lead within their strengths as it is called for.   Effort is Important: Technique and skills can be taught. If you want to learn how to be more aggressive and successful in business and fall on the shy or introverted spectrum, let go of fear of failure. All good leaders understand that the quality of hard work and effort is more important than someone knowing how to do something correctly.    Mentorship Over Money: Having strong mentorship, especially when you are young is more important than making money. The money will come eventually if you have the right attitude, develop your skills, and stay humble.

AI could possibly be one of the best tools for the mental health field. The merging of technology and therapy is exciting and getting proven results.. AI is no longer some strange science fiction concept, it is becoming a part of human existence. Dr. Gabriella Kellerman (@gabriellarosenkellerman) has dedicated her life to discovering the most impactful ways to empower and transform the condition of mental illness. Her passion for the science of thriving has led her to become the Chief Innovation Officer and Chief Product Officer at BetterUp Labs. Her new book Tomorrow Mind is all about thriving and training our minds to investigate and learn how we can improve our thought process, attitudes, and actions.    Many advances have been made thanks to the technology advancements of AI. Utilizing this new era Dr. Gabriella Kellerman has dedicated her work in discovering research based inclusive methods that will support people in thriving in today's world. Inspired by her father’s dedication to helping humanity with sustainable energy resources, Dr. Kellerman from a young age decided she wanted to also dedicate her life to a purpose that would serve humanity. “ We are trying to help people shift into a more proactive mindset, where it's not about any one challenge. It's about all of the challenges to come preparing to meet them with greater resilience, greater foresight, greater reserves of motivation. ”  - Dr. Gabriella Rosen Kellerman Key Takeaways:   PRISM: This acronym stands for Honing Prospection: the ability to think about the future (P), Resilience (R), Finding, Innovation, establishing Social supports (S), and  meaning (M).    Key Difference of a Coach vs. Therapist: Therapists can treat clinical conditions, get reimbursement from insurance, etc. Therapists do also see high functioning people for non clinical purposes without insurance reimbursement which can look a lot like coaching. Coaches do not do clinical work, they do not treat clinical conditions.They are wonderful resources for building personal and professional development skills.    Toxic Positivity: Toxic positivity is sort of a shallow positivity, where people know that underlying it is not that depth of authentic, positive feeling. Chasing happiness as a goal or the ultimate state can be toxic because it can trap us in denying the value of the rainbow of emotional states. Living a positive life includes relationships, deep engagement with your work, a sense of achievement, a sense of meaning and purpose, these don't always come with positive emotions as relationships can be difficult. Optimistic Thinking: Our brains tend to lean toward pessimistic thoughts. Being aware of when we go into fear or reaction and looking at what thoughts come up is important. Catching negative thoughts regarding outcomes and countering them with possible positive results can help us stay in balance and be less reactive.
