Welcome back to The Unbeatable Mind! This week, Mark is joined by Charles Schwartz and co-host Catherine Divine for a deep dive into the art of self-transformation, leadership, and adapting to rapid change in the age of AI.

Charles shares his remarkable personal evolution—shaped by years working in hospice care—and how confronting mortality shattered his illusions of ego and brute-force ambition. The conversation uncovers how our deepest limiting beliefs and survival strategies—often rooted in childhood trauma—can either hold us back or be integrated as sources of wisdom and growth.

Mark, Charles, and Catherine delve into the power of recognizing and moving between different internal “Personas,” the importance of connecting with one’s personal truth, and why self-acceptance is key to sustainable transformation. As the discussion turns to the accelerating influence of AI, the trio candidly addresses the urgent need for adaptability, curiosity, and ethical leadership in an era where technology is poised to disrupt every industry.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur feeling stuck, a leader navigating the unknown, or someone seeking more meaning and freedom, this episode will leave you inspired to face challenges with awareness and courage—and to reimagine what’s possible in a rapidly changing world.

Key Takeaways:

• The Power of Mindset Shift: Dive into Charles Schwartz’s journey from a survival-driven ego to a life led by service, love, and efficiency.

• Purpose, Truth & Breaking the ‘Why’ Myth: Is finding your “why” overrated? Charles argues that fulfillment actually starts with ‘who’ you are, not just ‘why’ you do what you do. Once you connect to your true self, your purpose and path become much clearer—and more rewarding.

• Embracing the AI Revolution: AI isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a tidal wave. Charles and Mark discuss why there will soon be two types of companies: those that leverage AI, and those left behind.

Emotional Intelligence–or EQ is now more vital than ever. In today’s episode of The Unbeatable Mind, Mark’s daughter Catherine is sitting down for a candid and insightful discussion about emotional development and the evolving landscape of leadership in a world that’s becoming more dominated by AI.

Catherine and Mark explore the limitations of traditional leadership models that prioritize IQ over EQ, touching on how emotional awareness, self-control, and the oft-overlooked concept of “us” in relationships are fundamental aspects of effective leadership. Drawing from their personal experiences, Mark and Catherine dissect the energy of emotions, the mind-body connection, and the importance of radical self-acceptance.

Together, Mark and Catherine emphasize that real growth does not happen in isolation, it’s our most challenging interactions through the emotional landscape that we become better leaders, teammates, and people.

Key Takeaways:

• Relational Development: Discover how the most impactful growth happens not in isolation, but through relationships. Real emotional development is tested through authentic connection and mutual vulnerability.

• EQ VS. IQ: Learn why Mark and Catherine believe EQ is the leadership superpower of the future. When machines can outperform us in data and logic, our unique advantage lies in self-awareness, empathy, and connection.

• The Body-Mind Connection: Understand how acknowledging the somatic side of your feelings can unlock deep growth and healing. Emotions are simply energy in motion—the body plays a key role.

• EQ as a Daily Practice: Recognize how emotional maturity is not a destination—but rather a lifelong journey that requires mindfulness, honest communication, and vulnerability.

Believe it or not, communication is about far more than just the words one speaks. This week’s guest on The Unbeatable Mind, communication expert Michael Hoeppner, argues that much like dance or martial arts, communication is a full-body act.

As a world-recognized expert on public speaking, Michael, along with Mark, sheds light on the Navy SEALS’ powerful spirit shout “Hoo Ya”, and how it embodies the physical essence of communication. Together they explore the intricacies of vocal variety, focusing on the significance of pace, pitch, pause, power, and placement, in the delivery of dynamic speech. Michael digs into practical exercises one can use to overcome some common pitfalls in effective communication. He details how these exercises can transform one’s communication skills to ensure that their messages will be impactful and memorable.

Lastly, he and Mark touch upon the art of storytelling and the use of poetic devices in crafting narratives that stick with those that listen. Whether speaking in front of the public, or catching up with an old friend, Michael invites listeners to join him on the journey towards becoming a compelling communicator.

Key Topics Include:

• Communication as a Physical Act: Listen to Michael explain how communication is embodied physically—-it’s more than just the words you speak, more akin to yoga or dance.

• Eliminating “Um’s”: Explore the various exercises Michael presents to eliminate what he calls “filler words”, and choose what you say with precision.

• The “Five P’s” of Vocal Variety: Discover how the voice is much like an instrument in how it implements pace, pitch, pause, placement, and power. Mastering these “Five P’s” can radically transform how your message is received.

• Leveraging Poetic Devices: Learn how to harness techniques from the art of storytelling in order to enhance the power of your message.
