#129 - Rich Diviney — Masters of Uncertainty & The Irony of Leadership

In this episode of The Necessary Entrepreneur, former Navy SEAL Commander and best-selling author Rich Diviney joins host Mark Perkins to talk about the mental edge required to lead, perform, and thrive when the stakes are high and the path isn’t clear.

Drawing from his new book, Masters of Uncertainty, Rich explores what it takes to stay calm, adaptable, and effective when everything around you is unpredictable. He breaks down the irony of leadership, the difference between finding talent vs developing talent, and how to recognize when you're simply burning through dopamine without creating anything meaningful.

Topics covered include:

• Why the best leaders focus on the “how” instead of the “why”

• Building meaningful horizons instead of chasing success for its own sake

• How to pick your next mountain when you've already climbed a few

• Navigating uncertainty in both combat and entrepreneurship

• What real peak performance looks like outside of the highlight reel

This conversation is for anyone looking to sharpen their mental game, upgrade their leadership, and thrive in the chaos of business and life.
