This weekâs guest on The Unbeatable Mind is a true, living, breathing example of how success can only come through hard work. Coming from truly humble beginnings, Tommy Mello talks to Mark Divine this week about how heâs turned the seemingly innocuous garage door industry into a powerhouse currently set to surpass $100 million EBIDTA.
Tommy shares how he built and scaled his business from the ground up. From mowing lawns as a teenager in Michigan, to hiring top talent and building a world-class team, Tommy reveals the strategies that got him to the position he finds himself in today. He and Mark discuss leveraging equity incentive programs, fostering a culture in which staff can thrive, and Tommyâs âbuild to sellâ philosophy.
They also get personal, discussing the ups and downs that come with rapid financial success, learning the art of delegation, and the toll of âthe grind.â Tommy gives his candid take on money, legacy, and health routines, and dives into the future of blue-collar work in an AI driven world. All in all, Tommyâs insights are valuable for leaders, business owners, or anyone with the drive to build something big.
Key Takeaways:
Building To Sell: Tommy shares his philosophy on structuring business to make them sellable and scalable. His approach to acquisitions, greenfields, and organic growth aim to maximise value for future exits.
The Art of Recruiting: Discover how hiring is about far more than just whatâs on the resume. Tommy shares why he cares far more about passion and drive than technical skills, and how he can spot âunicornâ talent by paying attention to the little details.
The Power of Delegation: Listen as Tommy dishes on his personal journey of learning to let go. Grinding one hundred percent of the time is unsustainable, so heâs learned to build checklists, hire smarter people, and invest in his own growth through coaches and consultants.
Marketing & Growth: Recognize how marketing for both customers and recruiting is the most valuable skill for company leadership.
As an entrepreneur, Tommy Mello has navigated the trenches, initially donning multiple hats â from sales and marketing to accounting and recruitment. However, he realized that sustainable success doesn't demand sacrificing family and friendships with relentless 14-hour shifts; it requires strategic intelligence and building invaluable connections.
So, he embarked on a journey of working smarter, not harder, focusing on cultivating the right networks. In a bid to pay it forward and support fellow home service industry entrepreneurs, he established a vibrant Facebook group. Here, he freely shares his insights and experiences while fostering a community where luminaries like Ken Goodrich, Joe Crisara, Al Levi, and other industry experts contribute their invaluable wisdom spanning branding, social media, and finance.

The digital age has brought about a host of challenges to individuals and organizations that would have been inconceivable only years ago. This week on The Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine talks to Dr. Eric Cole, a former CIA hacker and celebrated authority on cybersecurity. Eric guides listeners through the rapidly changing landscape of cyber threats, digital security and advancements in artificial intelligence.
Eric uncovers the tactics that cybercriminalsâ-sometimes state sponsoredâ-use to target businesses and individuals alike. Heâll explain how these criminals are leveraging new technology to do more than just steal money, but in fact harvest voices, identities, and trust.
In addition, Dr. Cole offers practical safeguards for identifying scam attempts and delves into the importance of using apps from trusted sources, and having out-of-band communication with family. He and Mark dissect the way AI is challenging us to reckon with a future where machines may outperform humans in decision making and strategy.
Key Takeaways:
Cybersecurity As a Global Battle: Recognize how the majority of cybersecurity attacks are coming from with no extradition, and even from government backed platforms. Without unified laws here and internationally, the threat level will only get bigger.
AI Replacing Humans: Learn how AI is no longer just a helpful tool. Weâre at a tipping point and companies need strong data segmentation and clear risk postures in order to adapt.
The Future of Money: Though Bitcoin and state-backed crypto-currencies may seem convenient, realize how as hackers become more sophisticated, they carry massive risk.
Eric Cole, PhD, is an industry-recognized security expert with over 20 years of hands-on experience in consulting, training, and public speaking. As the founder and CEO of Secure Anchor Consulting, Dr. Cole focuses on helping customers prevent security breaches, detect network intrusions, and respond to advanced threats. In addition, he is a sought-after expert witness and a 2014 inductee to the InfoSecurity Hall of Fame.
Dr. Eric Cole is the author of several books, including Advanced Persistent Threat: Understanding the Danger and How to Protect Your Organization; Hackers Beware: The Ultimate Guide to Network Security; Insider Threat: Protecting the Enterprise from Sabotage, Spying, and Theft; and Hiding in Plain Sight. With over 20 patent applications, Dr. Cole is on the cutting edge of cyber security research and development.

Today on the Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine is diving deep into the first of the seven commitments necessary to forge elite teamsâ--courage. Mark, drawing from his Navy SEAL background, breaks down the foundational importance of courageâ--and why it serves as a crucial gateway to the higher energies of growth, acceptance, and love.
Mark reveals how courage is not just about charging forward, but rather about the willingness to face our deepest fears, embrace risk, and refuse to stay in our comfort zone. He provides actionable strategies for cultivating courage, like practicing the art of letting go, or simulating challenging scenarios through what he calls âreality-based trainingâ.
Mark candidly reflects on the ongoing struggle with ego, vulnerability, and the power of forgiveness. Delving into the importance of aligning oneâs daily actions with their greater purpose and principles, Mark highlights how leading yourself and others through adversity sometimes means walking away from old environments and relationships.
Key Takeaways:
Training For Risk: Learn how embracing risk means preparing for itâ-facing your fears and building competence.
Living By Your Personal Ethos: Realize how true transformation comes from aligning your actions with your deepest valuesâ-even when itâs hard.
Courage as Inaction: Note that courage can be subtleâas much as itâs about action, many times itâs about restraintâ-having the wherewithal NOT to speak or react to a situation.
The Importance of Self-Reflection: Discover that in order to live by your personal ethos, you must UNDERSTAND what your personal ethos is. Doing so requires reflection on what you value, and what you wonât compromise on.

Successful teams donât just happen. In this weekâs episode of The Unbeatable Mind, Mark is going solo (with his daughter Catherine joining for an insightful Q & A), to break down his acclaimed âseven commitmentsâ model for building elite teams.
Drawing from his extensive Navy SEAL experience, Mark dives into the principles of courage, trust, respect, growth, resilience, excellence, and alignment. He explores why true elite teams arenât about being better people, but by fostering intentional behaviours and growth.
Mark discusses how resistance to change can be a common pitfall in the building of strong teams, and the power of collective development not only in work, but in life. In order to achieve growth as a collective, honest communication and respect are paramount.
Key Takeaways:
The Fundamentality of Courage: Listen as Mark draws on personal experience from the SEALs, to illustrate how true courage within teams isnât about bravado, but humility.
Growth Is Non-Negotiable: Realize that for a team to truly become elite, it requires constant growth from every member. When personal growth slows, so does the growth of the collective.
The Role of Physical Health in Teams: Discover how the most successful teams are ones that recognize their body and mind as one integrated system. Physical performance affects mental performance as individuals and collectively.
Resistance To Change: Recognize how even though resistance to change is completely normal, for those on a path of true growth, itâs ultimately futile.

Emotional Intelligenceâor EQ is now more vital than ever. In todayâs episode of The Unbeatable Mind, Markâs daughter Catherine is sitting down for a candid and insightful discussion about emotional development and the evolving landscape of leadership in a world thatâs 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 âusâ 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, itâs 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 motionâthe body plays a key role.
EQ as a Daily Practice: Recognize how emotional maturity is not a destinationâbut rather a lifelong journey that requires mindfulness, honest communication, and vulnerability.

Welcome to another episode of The Unbeatable Mind podcast with Mark Divine. This week, weâre continuing the journey through Five Mountain Development. In this episode, the spotlight is on the Emotional Mountain, often a stumbling block for many on their personal growth journey. Mark shares his personal experiences and insights, revealing how emotional development is integral to overall well-being. From therapy to mindfulness practices, he explains the significance of understanding and overcoming deep-seated emotional patterns. Whether you're a seasoned seeker or new to personal development, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice on navigating the emotional terrain.
Tune in as we continue on this transformative journey towards self-discovery and empowerment.
Key Topics Include:
Emotions as Physical-Mental Integration: Mark emphasizes that emotions are felt experiences combining bodily sensations with mental interpretations. They cannot be separated from physical and mental development, requiring a holistic approach to emotional growth.
Shadow Work & Family Systems: Through personal examples, Mark illustrates how emotional patterns from family systems often remain hidden in our "background of obviousness," requiring conscious work to recognize and transform unhealthy emotional programming from childhood.
Multiple Emotional Expressions: Emotions manifest in various ways - physiologically (body sensations), expressively (physical responses), mentally (thought patterns), behaviorally (habitual actions), and evaluatively (intuitive feelings). Understanding these different expressions is key to emotional development.Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling author with PhD in Global Leadership and Change who has dedicated his life to unlocking human potential through integrated training in mental toughness, leadership, and physical readiness.

Throughout the episode, Mark outlines several key mental skills, including arousal control through breathing, attention control using box-breathing techniques, and the development of mindfulness. These practices help practitioners immensely to recognize that they are not their thoughts, enabling them to break free from limiting mental patterns.
Look no further than this episode for practical guidance on how to incorporate these training techniques into your daily routine so you can succeed in mastering your mental mountain!

Can a single conversation radically transform a relationship? This weekâs guest on The Unbeatable Mind, former film director and founder of experience design studio âThe Skin Deepâ, Topaz Adizes certainly thinks so.
After years in the film industry, Topaz found himself asking the question, âhow is the emotional experience of being human shifting in light of all this technology?â Embracing this question prompted him to found âThe Skin Deepâ, an experience design studio formed to help people form deeper connections with the most important people in their life. Together, Topaz and Mark delve into the concept of deep listening and the nuances of forming deep connections through the power of well-constructed questions.
Topaz details the transformative potential of sitting with discomfort, and discusses a topic he clearly has much familiarity with, the unique art of storytelling. The nature of human interaction runs deep and is multifaceted, but Topaz contains profound insights and asks equally profound questionsâa skill that opens up infinite possibilities in which deeper connections can emerge.
Key Takeaways:
The Power of Questions: Discover how asking well-constructed, non-binary questions without an agenda can deepen connections and foster empathy.
Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities: Dive into Topazâs unique journey from the world of filmmaking to exploring the ever-evolving emotional experience in a tech-driven world.
Sitting With Discomfort: Hear about Topazâs belief that itâs sitting in the discomfort of the questionâ-not the answerâ-that holds the potential to unlock a myriad of possibilities.
Creating Honest Dialogues: Realize how providing a space for individuals to have intimate conversations, whether itâs in a personal or professional setting, can lead to healing, growth, and stronger bonds.Topaz Adizes is driven by a deep curiosity in human connection. What happens when we create space to explore what is really possible between us? How can we unlock the true power and potential of deeper human connection?
Heâs come to learn how asking powerfully, well constructed questions in the right environment can provoke, challenge and shift the direction of our lives. Heâs seen this magic unfold again and again over the last 10 years in his work as the founder of The Skin Deep experience design studio and as the creator of Emmy Award winning {THE AND} documentary, video series, and card games. In todayâs world of growing polarization, algorithmic silos, abundant distractions and increasing rate of change, the power of human connection has never been more essential.
