About the Keynote Speaker: Mark Devine

Mark Divine (https://markdivine.com) is an expert in elite performance, mental toughness, and leader-team development, and is the Founder of Unbeatable Mind, SEALFIT, Kokoro Yoga, and NavySeals.com. His renowned SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind training programs have transformed tens of thousands from all walks of life and made him a New York Times best-selling author.

Mark’s own leadership skills were initially honed in the Navy SEALs, where he was Honor Man (#1 graduate) of his BUDS class while leading his entire boat crew to success (which has never been repeated). He later built several successful businesses, two of which have scaled into 8 figures. Mark’s work addresses integration and training of the whole body-mind-spirit system in his approach he calls the ‘Five Mountains’ – emphasizing physical, mental, emotional, intuitional, and spiritual development which he created and tested on over a thousand special operations candidates worldwide, generating a 90% success rate for SEAL trainees using this program.

Mark teaches this unique warrior-leader philosophy to executives, corporate leaders. elite sports teams, and entrepreneurs with mission to lead 100 million people to the path of integrated five-mountain development by 2045.
