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.
