Summary

What If You Could Train Your Brain to Thrive in Chaos? Let’s face it—life doesn’t always go according to plan. And if you’re like most people, uncertainty can feel like quicksand. That’s why I brought Rich Diviney back on the show. He’s a former Navy SEAL, a brilliant thinker, and one of the most practical minds I’ve ever met when it comes to performance under pressure. In this conversation, we don’t just talk about facing fear—we talk about how to operate at your best when everything around you is unclear. Rich breaks down what he calls the Uncertainty Method, a six-part framework designed to help you stay calm, focused, and effective when the stakes are high. We get into how your brain actually responds to stress, how to manage your energy like a pro, and why picking the right "horizon"—your next small target—is the difference between quitting and making it through. This isn’t theory. It’s real-life application that I’ve used in my own life, and I promise you, it works. There’s a moment where Rich explains the power of asking better questions—how a single shift in language can literally change your brain’s chemistry. Instead of asking, “Why does this always happen to me?” what if you asked, “What can I do right now to move forward?” These aren’t just mindset tricks. These are tactical tools that can help you lead better, parent better, and live with more clarity in uncertain times. And I loved how we ended the show—talking about identity, leadership, and why the best teams don’t follow one leader… they shift leadership based on who’s best equipped to lead in the moment. That’s how you build trust. That’s how you build results. Key Takeaways: The difference between peak and optimal performance—and why optimal wins over time A 6-part method to stay grounded and productive in uncertain, high-stress environments How to use breathing and language to rewire your nervous system on demand Why chunking your goals into manageable “horizons” helps you avoid overwhelm The four elements that create trust on any team: competence, consistency, character, and compassion This episode is loaded with wisdom you can use the moment you stop listening. Rich doesn’t just talk about resilience—he lives it. And after this conversation, you’ll be able to say the same.
