In this episode of The Tim Castle Show, I sit down with one of the brightest minds I’ve ever had on the show — former Navy SEAL commander, elite performance coach, and bestselling author Rich Diviney.

We dive deep into his new book, Masters of Uncertainty: The Navy SEAL Way to Turn Stress Into Success for You and Your Team, and uncover how the SEALs stay calm, composed, and effective in the most chaotic situations imaginable.

Rich shares the Mastering Uncertainty Method, revealing why success isn’t superhuman — it’s about rewiring your relationship with stress, building trust, and learning to adapt on the fly. You’ll hear:

• Why the Osama Bin Laden raid succeeded even though nothing went to plan
  
  
• The surprising difference between peak performance and optimal performance
  
  
• How to transform stress into energy and composure when it matters most
  
  
• Why most teams say they want adaptability but fail to build the trust it requires
  
  
• How to train your mind to stay cool, get going, and anchor in the present

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep moving when your world is spinning, this episode will change how you think about stress, leadership, and your own potential.
