    198 Mark Divine: How a Near-Death Experience with 26 Broken Bones Changed Everything for This Navy SEAL

    Mark Divine’s journey from near-death to deep clarity offers profound lessons for leaders seeking flow, resilience, and mastery. He shows how gratitude, even in crisis, reframes adversity into growth. His teachings reveal that true toughness comes from balancing strength with softness, doing fewer things better, and cultivating vulnerability as authentic leadership. Through meditation, breathwork, and surrender, he demonstrates how to slow down in a world of acceleration. For those in transition, his advice to ask the “future self” provides powerful direction. These insights are essential for anyone seeking mental fitness, spiritual growth, and long-term mastery. Time Stamps: [00:13:53] One Day, One Lifetime - He reflects on the warrior mindset of treating each day as the most important, a principle reinforced by both Zen training and Navy SEAL culture. [00:17:32] Slow Down, Do Less Better - Mark explains how the modern obsession with perfection and hustle is unsustainable—and why surrender and simplicity are keys to mastery. [00:21:07] The Balance of Hard and Soft - He contrasts “hard” toughness with “soft” receptivity, showing why resilience requires both strength and flexibility. [00:23:27] Oak or Reed? - The Warrior’s Choice Using a tsunami metaphor, Mark illustrates why true toughness means knowing when to stand strong and when to bend. [00:31:34] The Power of Authentic Vulnerability - Mark unpacks how leaders can show realness without undermining their credibility, and why skillful vulnerability strengthens connection and trust. [00:38:21] Lessons from Plant Medicine - He shares how ayahuasca and ibogaine helped him release old wounds, experience unity consciousness, and ultimately confirm meditation as the deeper path. [00:55:26] Navigating Life Transitions - Mark offers practical wisdom for those facing major life changes—emphasizing patience, meditation, and asking your “future self” who you are becoming. [01:19:12] The #1 Daily Practice - Mark reveals the single practice he prescribes to all clients: daily breathwork and meditation, even if just 20 minutes, to radically transform life in 3 months. ACTION GUIDE: When Life Breaks You Open — What Comes Next Overview: Sometimes it takes a crash—literal or metaphorical—to wake us up. Mark Divine’s near-death experience taught him that real transformation begins when we pause, reflect, and choose to live from a deeper, more intentional place. Practical Exercise (≤15 minutes): “The Debrief” — A Warrior’s Reflection Take 10 minutes with a journal and answer: * What’s something I’m pushing through that my soul might be resisting? * Where might I be saying "yes" from fear or codependency instead of alignment? This mini “after-action review” builds awareness—and prevents the universe from needing to send a snowmobile crash to get your attention. Daily Habit: Each evening, ask yourself: “Did I live today as if it were my only day?” Reflect for 2 minutes before bed. Let it gently recalibrate your priorities and presence. Reflection Question: What part of my life is asking me to slow down, simplify, or surrender? Motivational Quote: “You don’t need 26 broken bones to wake up. You just need to listen.” — Mark Divine Get full access to Infinite Flow at cklin.substack.com/subscribe

    197 Jason Hennessey: From Eviction to Inc. 500: Jason Hennessey’s $20M YPO Journey

    Jason Hennessy’s journey from a challenging childhood to running multimillion-dollar businesses offers profound insights for high-achieving entrepreneurs seeking to align success with purpose. His strategies for overcoming setbacks—whether through fatherhood, turning risks into opportunities, or leveraging AI—resonate with leaders striving to create a meaningful legacy. The hourly rate audit, mindset shifts from adversity, and practices like gratitude exercises offer tools to optimize both personal and professional growth. For entrepreneurs looking to break free from the pressures of constant expansion and find flow, Jason’s approach is a masterclass in balancing ambition, purpose, and resilience. Time Stamps: [00:04:00] The Purpose of Entrepreneurship Jason reveals his deeper purpose behind entrepreneurship: not just growing his business, but also providing for his family and helping people solve problems through digital marketing. [00:06:30] Fatherhood as the Ultimate Purpose Jason shares his perspective on fatherhood as his core purpose, inspired by the desire to be a better father than his own had been. [00:09:00] Adapting to AI Disruption Jason discusses the mindset shift needed to see AI as an opportunity to be more effective, rather than a threat to traditional work. [00:11:30] The Hourly Rate Audit for Business Efficiency Jason details his method for evaluating his time through an hourly rate audit, which allowed him to delegate low-value tasks and scale his business. [00:22:10] Turning Mistakes into Opportunities Jason recounts a pivotal $390 mistake that became the best decision of his career, showing how risks and unexpected events can lead to success. [00:24:00] Overcoming Financial Setbacks & Real Estate Failures Jason talks about a critical period in his life when he nearly went bankrupt due to bad real estate investments during the 2008 recession, and how those lessons reshaped his future. [00:33:40] Cultivating Gratitude in Family Jason shares a nightly gratitude practice with his daughter that helps instill perspective and resilience, showing how simple habits can build emotional strength. [00:40:00] Creating a Legacy Beyond Financial Success Jason reflects on his ultimate goal: to be remembered for the impact he made through business and life, and his upcoming book, "Glimpse." ACTION GUIDE: “Own Your Time, Own Your Life” — Inspired by Jason Hennessey Overview: Jason Hennessey teaches that clarity on how you spend your time is essential to becoming a more effective, purpose-driven entrepreneur and human. By auditing your tasks and delegating what doesn’t require your unique genius, you create space for what truly matters. Practical Exercise (≤ 15 mins): Do a mini time audit: * Grab a piece of paper. * List 5 tasks you did today. * For each, label it: * I = Incompetent * C = Competent * E = Excellent * U = Unique (only you can do it) * Next to each, estimate what you'd pay someone else per hour to do it. This helps you see how much of your day is spent below your highest value. Daily Habit: Each morning, identify one “U” task (your highest-value work) and one “I” or “C” task to delegate or delay. End the day by asking, “Did I spend enough time in my zone of genius today?” Reflection Question: What am I currently doing that someone else could do just as well—or better? Motivational Quote: “If you don’t have an assistant, then you are the assistant.” — Jason Hennessey Get full access to Infinite Flow at cklin.substack.com/subscribe

    196 Merhav Mohar: From World Championship to Clarity: Rebuilding Identity Beyond Success

    Merhav’s story mirrors every high-achieving entrepreneur who wins big, then wonders, “Now what?” He shows how over-identifying with titles breeds emptiness, how unprocessed emotions sabotage flow, and why true mastery fuses disciplined skill with spiritual depth. His “Shield and Heart” creed and five-spoke excellence wheel offer a roadmap to mental fitness and sustainable peak performance: cultivate reflexive competence, process feelings quickly, balance life domains, and deliver compassionate truth. For leaders in transition, these insights illuminate a path from burnout and identity crisis to integrated purpose, resilient energy, and the kind of flow that powers long-term impact. [00:01:00] First Taste of Glory – Merhav recalls reaching a world-title bout and reveals the dramatic moment that shattered his “undefeated” narrative.

[00:09:40] Spiritual Core of Combat – He reframes martial arts as a lifelong quest for soul-level excellence, not violence. [00:11:50] Reflex Over Emotion – Inside the ring, performance flows when drills turn reactions into automatic, thought-free action. [00:18:00] Cost of Suppressed Feelings – Temporary emotional shutdown fuels wins; long-term denial breeds trauma, burnout, and illness. [00:22:20] Switching Off the Killer – The hardest skill is dropping warrior aggression and choosing compassion the moment a fight ends. [00:35:28] “I Am Only Boxing” – He admits tying all self-worth to a single role and dreading life beyond it. [00:38:30] Decade as ‘Nobody’ – Post-injury shame led him to toxic jobs, poor relationships, and self-neglect until he re-valued himself. [00:44:49] Reclaiming Self-Respect – Realizing low self-definition invites disrespect, he reset boundaries and standards. [01:02:07] Truth ≠ Brutality – “Truth without compassion is brutality”; feedback must lift, not crush, growing leaders. [01:18:00] Heart-Led Warrior Shift – Key insight: lasting success demands integrating heart and spirit with drive and skill. [01:19:15] Five-Spoke Excellence Wheel – Merhav’s new metric: balanced fitness, finance, family, faith, and fun keep life turning.

    193 Jeff Gomez: The Secret Storytelling Framework Behind Iconic Stories We Love

    In this conversation, Jeff Gomez reveals transformative insights for entrepreneurs and creators who seek lasting intrinsic motivation, consistent flow states, and genuine mastery. He advocates capturing the essence of your mission beyond surface-level achievements, building resilient peer networks, and transitioning from mere inspiration to actionable mastery. Gomez's approach emphasizes overcoming limiting mental blocks like shame and trauma-based narratives through purposeful storytelling and deep listening. These methods foster intrinsic motivation and sustainable mental fitness, enabling you to play the infinite game in life and business—where true satisfaction and continuous growth become a natural part of your journey. Time Stamps [00:05:00] Capturing Your Story's Pure EssenceJeff Gomez emphasizes the importance of distilling a story down to its core essence, ensuring authenticity across platforms.

This approach builds intrinsic motivation through collaboration and shared purpose rather than competition."Their stories aren't about defeating villains but about navigating and contributing in a shared universe."[00:32:00] Breaking Free from Intergenerational ShameJeff outlines how shifting narratives can empower individuals by overcoming ingrained shame. Building peer networks reinforces mental resilience and creates ongoing flow and mastery."Free yourself from shame and reconnect with your purpose through your network."[00:35:00] The Power of Peer NetworksJeff highlights the importance of community support when overcoming negative emotions or self-doubt. Consistent peer interactions foster intrinsic motivation and sustained mastery."When haunted by emotions, peers can counsel and remind you to persist."[00:56:44] From Inspiration to ActionJeff emphasizes the necessity of moving beyond inspirational stories to practical tools and mastery. Genuine mastery demands actionable steps beyond initial motivation."You can't gift wisdom or mastery—it must be earned through consistent practice."[01:01:00] Achievement vs. Escapism in StorytellingJeff addresses why authentic achievement narratives are essential for meaningful growth, even within escapist media. Pursuing challenging yet achievable goals enhances flow and mastery."Our real pleasure comes from witnessing remarkable achievement, not just easy escapism."[01:07:00] Overcoming Trauma to Find PurposeJeff shares how dismantling trauma-based narratives liberates personal agency. This mindset shift from past-driven reactions to purposeful action unlocks sustained flow and inner motivation."Removing trauma-based narratives creates both purpose and freedom."[01:15:23] The Essential Question for CreatorsJeff offers his critical question: "What are you trying to say?" Going beyond plot ensures your work aligns with intrinsic values, sustaining deeper motivation and clarity in action."Know deeply what you're trying to say beyond plot, or you'll lose your audience."[01:19:18] Listening as the Ultimate Flow ToolJeff concludes that deeply understanding and listening to others is key to infinite flow and continuous mastery.
