In this piece from GQ, I weigh in on the changes and share my ideal style of combat training.   Read the full article on GQ here. THE MARK DIVINE SHOW Beena Sharma on Leading from the Heart Episode 363: The New Age of Leadership Development This week on the podcast, I sat down with Beena Sharma, international consultant and president of the Vertical Development Academy. Beena has worked for more than two decades in the area of whole-system, large-scale change. In this episode, Beena discusses polarity thinking, how language affects our reality, and the difference between horizontal and vertical development. A fascinating and needed conversation in today's shifting leadership landscape – I wish we'd had three more hours to dive into these topics! Key Takeaways: We are entering the age of vertical development. Vertical development fosters essential growth of new perspectives and gives leaders a greater ability to handle the complex problems of our changing world. Fortunately, we can now measure how an individual grows through these stages of maturity thanks to assessments like the ones provided by the Vertical Development Academy. We need both horizontal and vertical development. While horizontal development gives you more knowledge, information, skills, credentials, and certificates, it doesn't fundamentally change any assumptions you have about yourself. It doesn't challenge any beliefs you have about how the world works. Vertical development, on the other hand, recognizes that you have certain beliefs, and that you're invested in and identify with certain assumptions. And then these get challenged over time because of life experiences. Don't let labels box you in. In early stages of development, we like to orient ourselves by boxing ourselves in and labeling ourselves as a "type" (i.e. "I'm a thinking type" or "I'm a feeling type"). This is helpful to a point. But as we grow, we continue to define ourselves in more expansive ways, until we eventually arrive at the style of no style. This is where you're not bound by anything and you can be anything, because you realize that your conditioning has been keeping you in a box. This happens systematically and progressively, and it can sound like a tall order. But it's the process. We all have the potential for unity consciousness. The idea of seeing others as the enemy is a very early stage idea. Many of us grow through that and recognize that it's a limited way of viewing the world. And so our circle of embrace expands. While this might never happen for some people due to life circumstances and a lack of inner and outer resources, it has the potential to grow in every human being. In fact, it's our birthright. LISTEN HERE WHAT I'M READING The Art of Living: The Classic Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness, Epictetus (A New Interpretation by Sharon Lebell) While we can't control life, we can control our response to it. This timeless book helps us face day-to-day challenges and obstacles with grace. Even though Epictetus was born in 55 A.D., I've found the lessons in this manual to be more relevant than ever. WHAT I'M WRITING ABOUT THIS WEEK The Wolves Within We all have two wolves within us: a courage wolf and a fear wolf. The one that ultimately controls you is the one you feed the most. In this piece, I discuss what it means to stare down your fear wolf and choose courage for stronger leadership.

We rise to each and every occasion that presents itself to protect our families and our communities.  We are SHEEPDOGS and are committed to training entire communities of Sheepdogs that have the confidence and capacity to respond to the call of duty. As a sheepdog, it is critical to maintain a level of situational awareness (SA). This is not a paranoid state of expectation for "the bad thing" to happen. Quite the contrary, it is a confident relaxed state of simply having the awareness of what is going on around you and the comfort of having a plan in place, and the skills to carry out the plan, should it be necessary to implement.    The opponent who "drives" the OODA Looping process has the tactical advantage.   We use the OODA Loop as our line of defense: Observe what's going on around you Orient based on training, experience, and intuition Decide what action to take Act decisively SEALFIT Sheepdog is the premier event to teach you how to take charge and defend yourself and those around you from random or planned acts of violence, natural disasters, accidents, and more. The next event is just around the corner so consider joining us in San Diego on September 12-14, 2022.

Just one cup has 11 grams of collagen protein, so it works great as a post-workout recovery snack. It's also great for your skin, bones, and joints, and supports a healthy immune system. Kettle & Fire is my favorite bone broth on the market. I met the co-founders, brothers Nick and Justin Mares, and was so impressed with their vision to create a slow-simmer, 100% grass-fed, grass-finished bone broth that's filled with collagen, amino acids and nutrients, that I invested in the company.
