Success can be built through knowledge, hard work, and relentless execution. But those strengths alone don’t necessarily create fulfillment, connection, or exceptional leadership.

In this episode of the Mark Divine Show, I sit down with Randy Lyman, author of The Third Element and The Emotional Healing Workbook. Randy began with a background in physics and entrepreneurship, bringing a highly systematic approach to solving problems. Eventually, he realized there was another part of the equation he had largely overlooked: emotion.

We explore how suppressed emotions and old patterns can continue influencing our decisions, relationships, and leadership long after the original experience has passed. Randy shares his own experience discovering that overachievement was connected to a deeper desire for acceptance and approval, and how addressing that pattern changed the way he approached his life and work.

We also discuss why emotional awareness requires more than simply learning an intellectual model of emotional intelligence. Randy shares practical methods for bringing the mind, body, and emotions into the process, including breathwork, EFT tapping, journaling, and his four-column exercise for identifying the emotions beneath recurring problems.

In this episode:

• Why success doesn’t automatically create fulfillment
• Randy’s transition from physics to entrepreneurship and emotional development
• The emotional patterns that can drive overachievement
• Why the need for approval can undermine authenticity
• The difference between understanding emotions and actually feeling them
• Randy’s problem, solution, judgment, and emotion exercise
• Breathwork, journaling, and EFT tapping
• Why recurring irritation can reveal deeper patterns
• Perfectionism and the desire to fit in
• How presence changes leadership
• Why a leader’s internal tension affects the entire team
• Creating environments where people feel safe enough to contribute fully

What if the goal of longevity isn’t simply living longer, but remaining strong, capable, mentally sharp, and engaged as you age?

In this episode of the Mark Divine Show, I sit down with Regan Archibald, founder of Ageless Future, to explore how personalized medicine, emerging therapies, and the fundamentals of human performance are changing the way we think about aging.

Regan shares how his own health challenges led him toward a more individualized approach to medicine and why he believes comprehensive diagnostics can reveal patterns that standard testing may overlook. We discuss the hidden health costs that can accompany high performance, including chronic stress, overtraining, poor recovery, and the tendency to keep pushing even when the body is signaling that something needs attention.

We also explore peptides and signaling medicine, hormone optimization, GLP-1 therapies, regenerative medicine, and MUSE cells. Throughout the conversation, we come back to an important point: emerging therapies don’t replace the fundamentals. Sleep, movement, nutrition, recovery, stress regulation, relationships, and mindset remain central to long-term health.

In this episode:

• Why high performance can carry hidden health costs
• Looking beyond standard bloodwork with comprehensive diagnostics
• Building a personalized health operating system
• Chronic stress, overtraining, and accelerated aging
• Why recovery becomes increasingly important with age
• How peptides work as signaling molecules
• Peptides versus hormone replacement
• What to understand about GLP-1 therapies
• The importance of lifestyle alongside medical interventions
• Regenerative medicine and emerging MUSE cell therapies
• Why relationships matter for longevity
• Building today for the health and performance you want ten years from now

Trauma doesn’t always look like someone falling apart. Sometimes it can hide behind achievement, relentless ambition, risk-taking, and the drive to keep doing more.

In this episode of the Mark Divine Show, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Edith Shiro to explore post-traumatic growth and the possibility of becoming stronger, more aware, and more connected through the process of healing.

Dr. Shiro shares how her own family history shaped her understanding of generational trauma and explains why trauma is about more than the event itself. The resources we have, the relationships surrounding us, our sense of purpose, and the tools we’ve developed can all influence how we respond.

We also unpack her five-stage framework for post-traumatic growth, beginning with radical acceptance and moving through support, new narratives, integration, and ultimately greater wisdom and purpose. And we explore why high performers may need to look especially closely at what is driving their ambition when the outside world continues rewarding their success.

In this episode:

• How trauma can move through generations
• Why the event itself doesn’t tell the whole story
• Building resilience before adversity arrives
• Why healing happens through relationships
• Purpose and spirituality as protective factors
• Dr. Shiro’s five stages of post-traumatic growth
• Radical acceptance as the beginning of healing
• Creating a new narrative after trauma
• Why the body has to be part of trauma recovery
• Forgiveness without bypassing pain
• When high performance becomes a way of avoiding trauma
• Moving from survival toward growth, wisdom, and service
