The Great Unlearn
The Great Unlearn

<p>We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story. On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.</p>

In my first ever interview-style solocast, my dear brother Ty Ward architects the flow beautifully to pull through the threads of my last 3 years in “the tunnel”. During this period of time, I was trudging through my dark night of the soul. Our family unit was working through challenges, finances were feeling rockier than I’m comfortable with, and my resistance to being with stillness and uncertainty became so loud, yet I powered through — at the expense of my health and relationships — like I have been “comfortably” doing for most of my life.Now, on the other side of my tunnel phase, I felt the call to share my experience from this season and what it felt like within my relationship to self and those closest to me, the ways I tried so hard to escape it all, and what ultimately allowed for me to sink into the messages that I was meant to tune into.In this solocast, I share...➝ My addiction to being busy, escaping stillness.➝ Family and financial challenges / reorientation.➝ What helped to create awareness around my avoidant patterns.➝ The tools and habits that moved me through my tunnel period.➝ Unblocking a new level of intimacy within my marriage.REFERENCEDThe Amazing Development of Men by Alison Armstrong: https://amzn.to/3TOTU7SAdyashanti: https://adyashanti.opengatesangha.orgBeck Change Cycle: https://marthabeck.com/change/Boyd Varty: https://boydvarty.comSalim Najjar: https://www.instagram.com/thathrvguy/Dan Martell on TGU: https://bit.ly/tguapplemartellCONNECT WITH CALInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearnYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.comSubscribe to the newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

Harboring such subtle and heavy emotions, with no outlet or invitation to express them healthily, led Connor to expressing shame in the forms of substance abuse, addictions, dysfunctional relationship dynamics and living out of his car.Connor dives into his story and how he healed to where he is now — a supportive and committed father, husband and men’s training facilitator. He knew that if his life were to shift the first thing that needed to be looked at was himself.Connor and I dive into…How he shifted from addictions, troubled relationships, damaging self-talkHealthy ways to pivotally express anger and how this can benefit everyone involvedHow putting people on pedestals doesn’t allow for a genuine or sustainable connectionTransforming the “suppression equals strength” mentalityThe importance of modeling a healed masculine to our childrenConnect with ConnorWebsite: connorbeaton.comInstagram: instagram.com/mantalksMen’s Work: A Practical Guide to Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, and Find Freedom: mantalks.com/mens-work-bookManTalks podcast: mantalks.com/podcastTrainings for Men: mantalks.com/trainingConnect with CalShop TGU Gear: thegreatunlearn.com/shoptguInstagram: instagram.com/cal.callahanYouTube: youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearnFacebook: facebook.com/thegreatunlearnWebsite: thegreatunlearn.comSubscribe to the newsletter: thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
Jason Pickard is a fellow ex-trader on Wall Street and, similar to my story, shifting from that identity was a tough transition for him—leaving him with “What’s left of me? What am I now?” Hear more of his story and how he radically transformed every aspect of his life on our previous episode together, Episode 97Today, we catch up on his latest creation, The Abundance Archetype course—an 8 week course for the investor who wants to embrace overflowing abundance in every aspect of their life. This offering hits home with me because learning to love “Trader Cal” was a journey, a part of myself that I eventually would realize holds many gifts and much wiser than I previously thought him to be. With this course, Jason found a way to weave his genius of trading with the beauty of personal development.Jason and I dive into...What it means to be an infinite player in lifeHow his course teaches us to embody the abundant archetypeWhat helped him release 100+ pounds and revive his health physically, mentally, and spirituallyWays to implement and integrate new conceptsUtilizing our different identities and versions of self, rather than shame and abandon themHarnessing and respecting the laws of polarity allows us to move through life with more graceReferencedFinite and Infinite GamesEpisode 97 with JasonConnect with JasonWebsite: jasonpickard.orgInstagram: instagram.com/jasonpickardofficialConnect with CalShop TGU Gear: thegreatunlearn.com/shoptguInstagram: instagram.com/cal.callahanYouTube: youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearnFacebook: facebook.com/thegreatunlearnWebsite: thegreatunlearn.comSubscribe to the newsletter: thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

I recently returned to Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa for my second visit, except this time I got to journey alongside 3 of my closest brothers — Boyd, Chase, and Greg. And it was nothing short of epic.In 1926, Boyd’s great-grandfather purchased a bankrupt cattle farm and after years of partnering with nature and devising a model that allowed for the land to be honored and protected this special place became Londolozi Game Reserve. To say that Londolozi is a magical experience is an understatement. It’s the depth of presence one sinks into simply by being on the land, the connection to the wild that is also within us, and the reconnection to our knowing that really does something special and expansive to the psyche.→ How our anxiety and depression often stems from a sense of meaninglessness→ The realization that our wants and needs remove us from presence and appreciation→ Shifting from our comparative world into a relational world→ The ‘knowing’ in each of us that is beyond rational thought→ The parallels between tracking animals and our journey through life→ Embracing the moments of quiet presence→ A hippo encounter that turned expansive→ And more!Resources:• Londolozi Game Reserve• Our Londolozi Vlog• Peyton, Lyndsay, and Maureen Londolozi Episode• The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life• Cathedral of the Wild• Feel FreeConnect with Boyd• Website• Track Your Life Podcast• 40 Days and 40 NightsConnect with Chase:• YouTube• InstagramConnect with Greg:• House of Shan• InstagramConnect with Cal:• Instagram• Facebook• YouTube• Website• Subscribe to the newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

Charles Clay joins us for an intimate conversation on the depths of loneliness and releasing shame, fear and stagnant energy. We unpack the intricacies of our emotions and pain and how they act as our body’s communication system; signaling with a subtle cue or with an abrupt wake up call; oftentimes the latter, due to dismissing the wisdom of our own body. In our current society, these signals can be numbed or suppressed by our addiction to consume – alcohol, netflix, social media, food – but if we can learn to feel the extent of our hurt, receive the gifts and lessons, and realign with our body… we make room for long term fulfillment.Charles and I dive into…→ Learning to listen to the subtle communications of our body→ The importance of feeling our emotions fully and knowing when positivity becomes spiritual bypassing→ What creator consciousness is and how to tap into it→ Taking responsibility to heal our wounds so as not to sabotage our present and future experience→ Deathbed regretsConnect with Charles:WebsiteInstagramFacebookResources:The Laser Focus MethodConnect with Cal:InstagramFacebookYouTubeWebsiteNewsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

Dr. Craig Koniver of Koniver Wellness is on with us today and this conversation’s been in the queue for quite some time now. I was introduced to Craig back in 2017 while on my way to the Route 91 festival that would, soon after, be the catalyst for a massive existential shift.As we began working together on getting my wellness dialed in, I learned quickly that Dr. Koniver was respectfully untraditional in his approach to medicine; unsatisfied with the disease-based model of modern medicine. What I love most though, is that his approach is completely individualized. His understanding of the human body and the vast differences that we all share within our own personal ecosystem, truly make him one of the most well-respected practitioners. Dr. Koniver seeks to help his clients optimize their health and performance through time-tested, nutrient, and science-driven protocols that are the cutting-edge of medicine.Dr. Koniver and I dive into…→ De-stigmatizing ketamine; its positive impacts on regulating the nervous system→ Understanding addiction vs psychological dependence→ NAD+ therapy and why this is his #1 recommended protocol→ How to effectively supplement with vitamins→ How dysregulation of testosterone and thyroid impacts the nervous system; thyroid being the top issue in women over 40→ Grounded insights around the current state of affairsFollow Dr. Craig Konniver:InstagramWebsiteConnect with Cal:InstagramFacebookYouTubeWebsiteNewsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

In this episode, Boyd breaks down a few of his own stories of suffering and his discoveries from the untrue stories that he placed atop the kind reality.Boyd and I explore...→ The beauty and kindness of the contemplative mind.→ Undoing the desire to fix situations.→ Finding clarity once removing the story of drama.→ How to align with the reality of what is unfolding.→ How to acknowledge and shorten the period of suffering.Connect with Boyd:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boyd_varty/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/boydvartyincWebsite: https://boydvarty.comGet Boyd's Book: https://boydvarty.com/book/the-lion-trackers-guide-to-life/Connect with Cal:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearn• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/• Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com• Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

Entrepreneur, Mike Dillard, is on TGU today sharing the many lessons along the path of entrepreneurship; from his immense creative and financial successes to experiencing debilitating mold toxicity that forced him to take a closer look at his values.While on the path to recovery, Mike found himself reevaluating all that he had once given his energy to and the physical + mental pitfalls of constantly chasing accomplishment. As difficult of an experience, this illness (that had him laid up for years) actually created room for him to realize that success wasn’t at all contingent upon wealth, but rather, contingent upon self love.Mike and I discuss...→ What it looks and feels like being addicted to adrenaline.→ Being disabled from mold toxicity and how this impacted relationships, career, and self.→ Breaking the cycle of feeling the need to continually achieve or obtain.→ Detaching our identity from external sources.→ How forced change can be the perfect time to reevaluate our values.Connect with Mike:• Website: https://mikedillard.com• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realmikedillard/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mike.dillard• The Mike Dillard Show: http://apple.co/3cARuEIConnect with Cal:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearn• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/• Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com• Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

I had the pleasure of having my new brother, Matt Simpson, on today’s episode as we both “share the mic” and this episode on each of our platforms – check out Worth The Fight podcast.Matt and I have quite parallel journeys as we both drifted from “successful” corporate America and found ourselves on the path of healing our core wounds; much through psychedelics.Amongst many other topics, Matt uniquely brings forth a pivotal calling around the importance of healing the trauma of our war veterans. With findings that a vast majority of those who enlist in war have experienced similar childhood trauma, a lack of tribe and often have difficulty connecting on a deep level.In this episode, Matt and I explore...→ Integration strategies: journaling, raw ceremonial cacao, micro-dosing.→ How trauma interferes with our ability to connect authentically and meaningfully.→ The veteran suicide epidemic & the need for effective healing of trauma in our veteran community.→ Breaking through the prisons that we put our mind and heart in.→ Most of the ways in which we filter our experiences is from our childhood trauma.Resources:• Worth The Fight book: https://amzn.to/3oSepy6• The Stamets Stack: http://bit.ly/3r29koH• 13th: http://bit.ly/3oZ4UgJ• The Madness of Crowds: https://amzn.to/37lb98H• Tribe book: https://amzn.to/37nn4CVConnect with Matt:• Worth The Fight Podcast: https://www.worththefightpodcast.org• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/worththefightbook/• Website: https://www.nltrans.org/1-1-coachingConnect with Cal:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearn• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/• Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com• Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

Kyle Kingsbury is a close brother of mine who has opened my eyes to an immense amount (an understatement) in the 3 short years that we’ve been connected –– from facilitating my first plant medicine journey to the subtle and impactful ways that he continually shows up in my life as a brother.I’ll admit, today’s episode with Kyle certainly has aspects to it that I would have brushed under the rug had I heard this a few years ago. Some topics that we discuss are not of popular narrative; such as the ones we’re conditioned to trust and believe from the media, big pharma, or the government, to name a few. Regardless of what you may or may not believe, I think you’ll truly enjoy Kyle’s compelling way of bringing about some controversial topics, backed by his intellect and desire to purely educate starting within himself.In this episode, Kyle and I discuss a multitude of topics, some being...→ Surrendering as a form of releasing fear vs giving up.→ Why Cancel Culture is a modern form of vengeance.→ Ways that we can change the current narratives by reclaiming personal responsibility.→ How the core wound of humanity is that of disconnection from one another.→ The stages of anger: rage vs unclean anger vs clean anger.→ And more!References:• The Institute of Noetic Sciences: https://noetic.org• King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: https://amzn.to/3jFwGM5• The Madness of Crowds: https://amzn.to/2TA42Bm• Lizards Eat Butterflies: https://amzn.to/3eambPF• Plandemic Indoctrination: https://bit.ly/3e7biyjConnect with Kyle:• Kyle Kingsbury Podcast: https://apple.co/3kGTI6s• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingwiththekingsburys/• Fit For Service Fellowship: https://bit.ly/3oJMTUrConnect with Cal:• UnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-x• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearn• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/• Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com• Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter

Kelley James is a unique guest on The Great Unlearn today and shares a ton of wisdom surrounding the life-giving concept of simply learning to be yourself.Kelley is a husband, father and musical savant– freestyling his way through PGA Tours and private events, engaging with his audience in a way that only he can. He may have given us a dose of this gift of his within the podcast ;)In this episode he shares his realization that aspirations can only get us so far and that dreams can sometimes even guide us away from our own innate gifts and true path. After all, learning to be yourself and honing in on our own desires is what really creates a fulfilling life.Kelley and I explore many lessons including… → Always returning to our inner tracker.→ Deviating from our dreams to be on our own unique path, not someone else’s.→ Giving ourselves grace to pivot when something doesn't serve us anymore.→ How dreams are here to inspire us, not drive us.→ How the comparison game robs us of enjoying our own unique gifts in life.Connect with Kelley:• Instagram: https://bit.ly/30n7Slo• Website: https://www.kelleyjames.comConnect with Cal:• UnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-x• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearn• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/• Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com• Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter
Navigating relationships as we grow older is a lost art today — especially for men. Without awareness, friendships can far-too-easily fall into the depth-less golf buddy category, never sharpening and molding us the way they’re designed to. I’ve invited three of my closest brothers who have continued to #showup for me in ways that I can only begin to describe. In this episode, we do our best to unpack exactly what that means. This is our opportunity to share our struggles and triumphs as a means to inspire you to unlearn the common ways of modern middle-age friendship and explore true brotherhood (or sisterhood).  We go deep into many areas, including, but not limited to: → How we’ve evolved together and developed deeper connectionsthrough many stages in our lives. → Ways that our brotherhood has been pivotal in becoming the best versions of ourselves. → The challenges we’ve faced, as husbands and fathers, during this pandemic. → Using ceremony to deepen connection with loved ones. → Approaching our parents with curiosity and understanding that we’re all doing the best we can with the tools we have. → Elements that we’ve implemented to amplify the quality of our lives. References: • Ritual Zero Proof: https://www.ritualzeroproof.com• Mystic Art Medicine Deck: http://bit.ly/medicinedeck• House of Shan: https://www.houseofshan.com/Connect with Dave:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daveregula/• TrAk Athletics: https://trakathletics.com• TrAk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trak_athletics/ Connect with Cal:• UnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-x• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearn• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/• Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com• Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter This show is produced by Soulfire Productions
Last year I attended Adyashanti's 5 day silent retreat, which is similar to a Vipassana retreat. Vipassana means “to see things as they really are.” I took a vow of noble silence and practiced deep stillness each day. I soon began to feel and experience many of the things that have ALWAYS been surrounding and supporting me. It was a life-changing experience.During this quarantine season, I felt it was an opportune time to revisit the magic I experienced back then and do my very first Dieta. For 4 1/2 days, I unplugged from technology, focused on a more plant-based diet, settled into my journaling practice, communed with my altar and most importantly, spent intentional time with nature. My intention was to attune to my being and the essence of allowing/surrendering by connecting with the divine feminine that is nature.Again, magical experience. And one I took this episode of the podcast to tell you more about in hopes that you may find unique ways to introduce more silence and surrender into your experience of life!In this episode, I share...→ The constant work that is simply, surrendering.→ Why sometimes it’s best to “weed the garden” vs implementing new practices.→ How doing a Dieta and unplugging allowed me to tune into the gifts that surround me daily.→ The importance of getting clear on our intentions with all things in life.→ Surrendering and accepting our experiences vs letting our ego drive our experience.Referenced:• Walking with Bears by Dr. Will Taegel: http://bit.ly/walkwithbears• Sacred Ceremony by Steven Farmer: http://bit.ly/sacredcereConnect with Cal:• UnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-x• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearn• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/• Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com• Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
We live in a society where men often feel the pressure to be overly masculine and overtime lose touch with the feminine essence that lies within all of us.Hallie Rose is an author, speaker, host of The Thought Room podcast and is on a mission to help men reconnect with all parts of themselves — including the Divine feminine within. During this interview, she deep dives the power of masculine self-love and all of the amazing implications for men who are willing to go there.During this conversation, Hallie and I discuss...→ Cultivating a practice of awareness.→ The power in recognizing that we are responsible for how we feel, not others.→ A tool to help men reconnect with themselves.→ Embracing agency and sovereignty over our being.→ Triggering moments and people are opportunities to learn more about ourselves.→ Redefining relationships through understanding adult attachment.Referenced:• Conscious Masculinity Course: https://www.hallierose.com/men• Hallie's Spotify Playlist: https://spoti.fi/34TV8p6• Hallie's First Podcast: https://apple.co/3lxSlrP• Erik Godsey on The Thought Room: https://apple.co/2EXf5Ap• Sarah Riegelhuth on The Thought Room: https://apple.co/2YTEhz4• "Attached" by Amir Levine: https://amzn.to/2EMBlgH• Trevor Hall "Kala" album: https://spoti.fi/32I9q9W• Worth The Fight Podcast: https://apple.co/2QIWn2lConnect with Hallie:• Instagram: http://bit.ly/hallierose• Facebook: http://bit.ly/hallieroseblog• Website: https://www.hallierose.com• The Thought Room Podcast: https://apple.co/2EQAiw8Connect with Cal:• UnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-x• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearn• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/• Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com• Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
When it comes to politics these days, I'm tired of the noise. However, when I want to tune into what’s really going on in the political landscape, my guest on today’s podcast is where I go.Conner Moore breaks down the plethora of information that is constantly coming our way on his podcast, Conner Wanders. It’s phenomenal and I highly recommend it.Our conversation today is about the current landscape of our country (and politics in general) and why we need to be questioning it all. Conner isn’t a conspiracy theorist. He’s simply someone who can help us re-posture ourselves in the midst of a chaotic landscape of constant information.During this conversation, Conner and I discuss...→ How losing a business catapulted Conner into a more meaningful life.→ Ways that we construe the (mis)information given to us by political parties.→ Our thoughts on this country’s divisiveness and why we aren’t 100% left or right.→ Letting our emotions inform action vs our emotions being the action.→ How freedom and opportunity are parallel, yet equal opportunity is lacking.Referenced: • TGU Giveaway: http://bit.ly/TGUgiveaway• Soulfire Productions: http://soulfireproductionsco.com• Cal on The Realness: https://apple.co/3lGICzc• Malcom X speech: https://bit.ly/2QFXwYm• Conner Wanders and Candace Owens: https://bit.ly/2YQTDnN• Worth The Fight Podcast: https://apple.co/2QIWn2lConnect with Conner:• Instagram: http://bit.ly/connerwanders• Twitter: http://bit.ly/connerwanderstw• YouTube: http://bit.ly/connerwandersyt• Website: https://gettherealness.com• The Realness Podcast: https://apple.co/32F1DcM• Conner Wanders Podcast: https://apple.co/3gKyKkx• OK, BABE.

For years, I’ve heard people talk about the Enneagram and how powerful of a tool it is for personal development. And for years, I internally rolled me eyes. How could a “glorified personality test” help that much?And then, I experienced the work of Dr. Jerome Lubbe and it all made perfect sense. ;)Dr. Jerome is a Functional Neurologist that uses the Enneagram as a tool to help patients understand where their efficiencies and inefficiences are and how to better design their lives in accordance. Today, he takes on myself and Peyton (my wife) and helps us dissect ourselves and our relationship in mind and life-bending ways! During this conversation, Jerome, Peyton and I discuss...→ Using the Enneagram to understand why we are the way we are and have the motivations we do.→ Getting clarity around our personal efficiencies and inefficiencies and designing our life to play to our strengths (game changer for me!)→ Understanding the why behind our triggers and how this is the way to outgrow them.→ How our programmed dependencies for survival are not necessary for our current way of life.→ How the enneagram can help you to understand your partner’s (or anyones) way of operating and enhance your communication immediately→ And more…Connect with Jerome –Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctor.jerome/Website: http://thriveneuro.comConnect with Peyton –Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ohdeerpeyton/Website: http://peytoncallahan.com Connect with Cal –UnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-xInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearnYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.comNewsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterResources –The Brain-Based Enneagram: https://www.wholeidentity.comRheti Test: https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/rheti
This conversation offers a simple, yet often tough, perspective when it comes to how we respond to challenging periods in life. Do you retreat when you are in mucky waters or do you lean into it and allow your hurt / humiliation / anger to evolve into purpose?From 7 Tour de France wins to Livestrong Foundation to battling lawsuits to Next Ventures, Lance Armstrong shares his journey through life and how facing his challenges head on served him rather than hiding away and letting that minimize him.With the current climate, I’ve had many conversations with others on the hardship that they are experiencing. This episode with Lance provided a nice shift in awareness that we are responsible for how we feel, given any type of circumstance.During this conversation, Lance and I discuss...• What can come from releasing bitterness.• The emotional impacts from retirement that no one talks about.• Not allowing hardships take us out of the game of life.• Continuing forward movement through our darkest moments.• How a simple mindset shift opened a channel for opportunities.• Letting our kids choose their own life path, their own passions.References:The Forward Podcast – https://bit.ly/forwardpodThe Move Podcast – https://bit.ly/movepodPowerDot – https://www.powerdot.comStrava – https://www.strava.comNext Ventures – https://nextventures.comPr Lotion – https://amphuman.comConnect with Cal –UnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-xInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearnYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.comNewsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

As a badass messenger of love, he shares from his pro-humanity heart to inspire others to tune back into theirs. During this conversation, Preston and I discuss…The difference between caring deeply and trying to carry someone else’s painEmbracing the courage to speak our hearts when we know there may be great resistance.Why it’s not up to us to decide how others express and communicate their pain, anger, and hurt.How to remain deeply compassionate while taking a strong stand.Stifling our innate desire for curiosity with our attachment to being “right”And more...Referenced –Valarie Kaur Speech: https://valariekaur.com/2017/01/watch-night-speech-breathe-push/Connect with Preston –Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonsmiles/Website: https://prestonsmiles.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/questionswithPrestonBook: Love Louder: 33 Ways to Amplify Your LifeConnect with Cal –UnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-xInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearnYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.comNewsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
I am thrilled to have Boyd Varty back on The Great Unlearn this week! Boyd is a lion tracker, storyteller, life coach, and wildlife activist. Even while surviving many uncertain and life-threatening encounters while growing up on the Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa, he holds that his truest challenge was that of discovering purpose — something he now helps people do all over the world.In this episode, Boyd shares about his recent experience of 40 days and 40 nights in the South African wilderness alone. Like most of us, this pandemic put him in a space that he wanted to resist and brought feelings of uncertainty. but once he embraced the season for what it is, he headed out into the wild and found rich meaning through clarity and stillness. During this conversation Boyd and I discuss...How nature allows stillness, connection to Spirit, and the feeling of pure being.How being in ceremony shows us where we are living based on others programming and allows us to develop our own.Tapping into nature's intelligence reminds us of our own deep knowing.Boyd’s real-time mentoring of Cal as he heads into a 5-day nature retreat (Dieta).And more…REFERENCED IN EP:Enneagram – https://www.enneagraminstitute.com40 Days & 40 Nights Podcast – https://boydvarty.com/about/40-days-40-nights/Adyashanti – https://www.adyashanti.orgWalking With Bears: On Bridges to Earth's New Era by Will Taegel – https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Bears-Bridges-Earths-New-ebook/dp/B07818K172Sacred Ceremony by Steven Farmer – https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Ceremony-Steven-D-Farmer/dp/1561709816Mystic Art Medicine Deck – https://www.mysticartmedicine.com/mystic-art-medicine-deckConnect with Boyd–Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boyd_varty/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/boydvartyincWebsite: https://boydvarty.comGet Boyd's Book: https://boydvarty.com/book/the-lion-trackers-guide-to-life/Connect with Cal–Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearnYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.comNewsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterUnlearnX: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-x

In this solocast, Cal deep dives into the moment he awakened to his hand-me-down belief system and programming. Although incredibly grateful for his journey thus far, he abruptly arrived at the realization that many of his “beliefs” and ways of showing up weren’t actually his at all, they were largely instilled through deep inherited programming and childhood wounds. Since beginning his journey to the core of his being, he finds himself leading more with his heart and less with his mind— a lot more feeling and a lot less “shoulding”.In this episode of The Great Unlearn:Unlocking agreements to free ourselves from self-limiting beliefsWhy KNOWING is greater than KNOWING ABOUTTapping into our playful essence to be in the present momentDeconditioning the idea that we always need to be achievingHonoring our energetic need for physical space, especially within intimate relationshipsEpisode References:The Unlearn Experience — https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/unlearn-xThe Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz — https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1878424319/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0Enneagram test — https://tests.enneagraminstitute.comInquire Within by IN-Q — https://in-q.com/inquirewithin/“You Can’t Rush Your Healing” by Trevor Hall — https://open.spotify.com/album/7LInWgnlGzdaGS8neaQoR3?si=hdw07ddNSOi7dff4Sjku2QTrack Your Life with Boyd Varty — https://boydvarty.com/category/podcast/Erick Godsey on TGU — https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/podcast/ep-11-erick-godseyCoffee with the Callahans — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INySmvLECJwEastern Philosophy Card Set — https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/us/eastern-philosophy/Follow Cal:IG: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQWebsite: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/Newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

In this podcast we focus on the importance of orchestrated struggle to know yourself and the value of having a brotherhood or community. Aubrey shares insane stories from his recent trip to Poland to study under the breath Maestro Wim Hof with a band of brothers. He also shares his wisdom gained in 6 days in total darkness. There’s so much to pull from this episode...wisdom, experience, choosing self-love over self-loathing, plenty of laughs and a few tears...it wouldn’t be a TGU podcast without some raw emotion...and was nice that I wasn’t the only one this time.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of decision-making through presence, how to foster “track awareness”, and discovering that all we need is already within us. Boyd’s gift of storytelling is on full display as he shares tales that made my heart race a little faster and stoked my excitement for my next trip to Londolozi. One thing I’ve learned from the current COVID-19 situation is that with all the uncertainty and challenges, I truly believe that this is an opportunity to question the pace with which I’ve been approaching my daily life. With that in mind, there are few guides (if any) that I would rather have as a companion than my South African brother Boyd Varty.

In this podcast, I took the opportunity to highlight a side of JP that is often overlooked. He isn't just an accomplished comedian, but an incredibly sincere and thoughtful person who has leveraged comedy to understand and examine his internal struggle. In his own words, "In the past I used humor to escape myself. Now I use humor to go into myself." In the same way that JP used his challenges as a young man to hone his gift, we examine the opportunity that COVID-19 has presented for men to pause and contemplate their role as a husband, father, provider, and brother. We each have the opportunity to use the current situation as a means to press pause and consider how we want to move forward through this set of challenging circumstances.

In this podcast, we get to hear Erick’s personal path of self-discovery and exploration.

I started working with Ryan Frisinger a little over two years ago. He has fundamentally changed my life. He has given me incredible tools to strengthen my resilience. Not in an abrasive “Do Hard Shit” crossfit culture type of way, but the tools that let me feel and listen to what my body needs. To treat myself with love, forgive trauma, and do the necessary things to strengthen and thrive in the modern world.

Poranguí is one of those guys who has been instrumental in the changes that I’ve felt in my life. He’s a man in true alignment, and when you spend enough time with someone like that, you understand when you’re out of alignment and what a true path looks like for you. When I met him, I did whatever I could to spend time with him — I went to his retreats, I participated in his sound healings, I went to his live performances — and then I was invited on these tribal men’s retreats in Sedona that changed my life. Being surrounded by men that show up masculine but are deeply in touch with their feminine is what this podcast is all about. Poranguí was raised among three distinct cultures — Brazil, Mexico, and the United States. Both of his parents were musicians and artists who passed much of that along to him. He thought he was going to be a doctor, but when he got there, he saw that the traditional model of healing and medicine is so broken. It was then that he pivoted to studying neurology and discovering the research behind what he had already identified: That music and art and movement are healing. We Discuss: 10:40 - Poranguí’s background & upbringing 14:46 - Understanding how art, music, and sound create healing 22:41 - Being called to serve 28:49 - Creating your own future 31:24 - Making music and coming together with all generations as a community 38:24 - Breaking down channeling and how to quiet your monkey mind 48:04 - Clearing stagnation through movement 54:33 - Living in a world of gradients 59:59 - How to become more embodied 01:07:16 - Unpacking sweat lodges 01:11:45 - Tapping into the beginner’s mindset Resources: Music Is Medicine: http://www.musicismedicine.me (http://www.musicismedicine.me) Sun Dance ceremony: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Dance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Dance) Connect with Poranguí: Website | http://www.porangui.com (http://www.porangui.com) Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/porangui (http://www.instagram.com/porangui) Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/porangui (http://www.facebook.com/porangui) YouTube | http://www.youtube.com/porangui (http://www.youtube.com/porangui) Spotify | bit.ly/poranguispotify (http://bit.ly/poranguispotify) Soundcloud | http://www.soundcloud.com/porangui (http://www.soundcloud.com/porangui) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a friend!!!

Dave Regula is one of my best friends. We worked together in Chicago for over 15 years and have known each other for over 20. So, let’s take a step back to the turn of the century. In 1998, everyone was into investment banking, and the best place to do that was in New York. Wanting to swim against the current and do his own thing, though, Dave moved to Chicago and dove head-first into the financial industry. But then, one day, Dave realized he was feeling stuck as a human being. He wasn’t feeling as advanced as he would have liked in his personal life — fulfillment, education, relationships, nutrition — and the more he started looking into that, he knew he had to cut ties with his old life. Dave opened a gym and dove deep into fitness. However, once that was in place, he realized there was a bigger picture. Health changes weren’t sticking, people’s experiences weren’t ramping up with their health, and they weren’t living lives they were proud of. And that’s where his direction in life came into focus — helping people through all aspects of their life and build upon one another to achieve fulfillment. We Discuss: 04:13 - Not knowing what to do with your life 07:52 - When you know you have to make a change 14:41 - Bouncing back from a rock-bottom moment 23:48 - The part ego plays in your life 31:21 - Moving beyond fitness and expanding 35:49 - Finding the support you need 41:12 - Making the decision to go to the Olympics as a parent 50:24 - Trying to keep up your life without your partner 56:11 - Admitting when things are hard 01:05:12 - How Dave lives his life today 01:09:32 - Wanting to feel more than just happy 01:17:38 - Connection is the most important thing 01:19:29 - Sharing your thoughts with those closest to you Connect with Dave Regula: Website | https://www.trakathletics.com (https://trakathletics.com/) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/daveregula (https://www.instagram.com/daveregula) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/dave.regula.1 (https://www.facebook.com/dave.regula.1) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a friend!!!

You probably know who Lance Armstrong is, but this is Lance as you’ve never seen him before — with his kimono wide open. We are always trying to figure out what we’ve done right, what we’ve done wrong, and how we can move forward. Today, Lance gives a candid take on what he did in the past and how he can move forward in a different way. It’s an incredible redemption story that’s up there with the best of them. Lance’s first podcast was called The Move (https://wedu.team/themove) , which jumped to the top of Apple’s podcast charts as soon as it came out. Lance sees what happened to him — and because of him — as a result of being ruthless and mean. Nobody would have seen him coming back in the way he has, but he had to keep moving forward. There was no plan in place. He just kept taking one more step. He made a lot of mistakes, but he looked inside himself to what was true — his love for the sport, his family, his friends — and began rebuilding his life on top of that foundation. You can’t continue to measure yourself against the past, but you can continue to move forward and create something new — maybe even something better. We Discuss: 10:10 - How Lance got into endurance sports 19:39 - The challenges of going from an individual sport to a team sport 23:22 - Constantly moving forward in life. 26:31 - Letting go of bitterness and anger 37:44 - Lance’s philosophy for advertising 44:05 - Lance’s future business endeavors 52:34 - What it feels like to retire 58:34 - The life lessons Lance wants to pass on to his kids 1:07:08 - Parenting as someone who has reached a high level 1:16:30 - Trying not to measure yourself against your past Resources: The Forward Podcast: wedu.team/the-forward (https://wedu.team/the-forward) The Move Podcast: wedu.team/themove (https://wedu.team/themove) Sign up for my weekly newsletter: thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter) Next Ventures (https://nextventures.com) The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LC9C7Q4?pf_rd_p=ab873d20-a0ca-439b-ac45-cd78f07a84d8&pf_rd_r=6F8T6S5B1GYMVYDFMJ4F) by Boyd Varty Ed Ruscha (https://edruscha.com/featured-works/) AMP Human (https://amphuman.com) Power Dot (https://www.powerdot.com) Jesse Itzler (https://jesseitzler.com) Connect with Lance Armstrong: Website | lancearmstrong.com (https://lancearmstrong.com/) Instagram | instagram.com/lancearmstrong/ (https://www.instagram.com/lancearmstrong/) Twitter | twitter.com/lancearmstrong (https://twitter.com/lancearmstrong) Facebook | facebook.com/lancearmstrong (https://www.facebook.com/lancearmstrong/) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a friend!!!

I’ve known Laura Coe for over 20 years, but we hadn’t really connected since our 20s before she reached out to me a couple of years ago. It was initially for some advice, but Laura actually ended up catalyzing some huge shifts in my life — a wonderful conversation on her show The Art of Authenticity (https://lauracoe.com/cal-callihan/) helped me realize I love making podcasts and her support as a coach helped me overcome the self-doubt I was struggling with as I tried to uplevel my life and unlearn the programming that was holding me back. Laura is also the author of Emotional Obesity: A Philosophical Guide to Lighten Your Life (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QXXFUKS) and, as both as an author and as a coach, she helps others understand esoteric philosophical ideas and ancient wisdom so that they anyone can apply these important (but often linguistically obscure) lessons to their own lives. One of the ancient tools she uses is the Akashic records and, if you haven’t heard of this before, you’re in for a treat in this episode — it’s fascinating, and it ties into why Laura reached out to me in the first place. We Discuss: 06:15 - A story about 20-year-old Cal 10:20 - Recognizing that surrender isn’t always a bad thing 14:20 - Sitting in stillness to learn about yourself 18:30 - How society causes us to internalize certain ideas about our identity and self 28:40 - We’re here for lessons 30:45 - The Akashic records 40:35 - How we’re all being sold fake truths and solutions online 47:05 - When we look to others for models for success, is it coming from fear and lack or is it coming from a place of interest in knowledge? 54:00 - Accepting that there is no end goal to spiritual or personal growth that you can achieve in one human lifetime Resources: Listen to my interview on Laura’s show: “Cal Callihan: Wall Street to Spiritual Warrior” (https://lauracoe.com/cal-callihan/) Read: Emotional Obesity: A Philosophical Guide to Lighten Your Life (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QXXFUKS) Sign up for my monthly newsletter: thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter) The Mastery of Love (https://www.amazon.com/Mastery-Love-Practical-Relationship-Toltec/dp/1878424424/ref=pd_sbs_14_3/147-8053530-7502953?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1878424424&pd_rd_r=13795026-de79-4bed-bf6c-1478475ad62c&pd_rd_w=QwD3n&pd_rd_wg=1mMdO&pf_rd_p=7cd8f929-4345-4bf2-a554-7d7588b3dd5f&pf_rd_r=HNM0QKV9Z8FTSQ0MA6XM&psc=1&refRID=HNM0QKV9Z8FTSQ0MA6XM) by Don Miguel Ruiz The Mastery of Self (https://www.amazon.com/Mastery-Self-Toltec-Personal-Freedom/dp/1938289692/ref=pd_sbs_14_4/147-8053530-7502953?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1938289692&pd_rd_r=13795026-de79-4bed-bf6c-1478475ad62c&pd_rd_w=QwD3n&pd_rd_wg=1mMdO&pf_rd_p=7cd8f929-4345-4bf2-a554-7d7588b3dd5f&pf_rd_r=HNM0QKV9Z8FTSQ0MA6XM&psc=1&refRID=HNM0QKV9Z8FTSQ0MA6XM) by Don Miguel Ruiz Connect with Laura Coe: Website | lauracoe.com (http://lauracoe.com/) Instagram | www.instagram.com/laurascoe (https://www.instagram.com/laurascoe/) Twitter | twitter.com/laurascoe (https://twitter.com/laurascoe) Facebook | www.facebook.com/emotionalobesity (https://www.facebook.com/emotionalobesity) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv)
I first met Mat Fisher when I was seeking out a mentor to train me in TRE, or Trauma Release Exercises. Created by Dr. David Berceli, TRE is a simple yet innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma. That may seem like a weird concept — and it was to me when I first heard of it — but I experienced the benefits of these exercises first-hand so I wanted to learn more about it. The funny thing is, when I first reached out to Mat, I didn’t hear anything back. I started to make all of these assumptions and judgments about why, but as it turned out, he just wasn’t coaching anymore and didn’t check that email address. (You know what they say about assumptions, right?) However, when he eventually saw it, something in my email shifted Mat; he felt called to dust off the gym shorts and the whistle to coach me. And I couldn’t be more grateful. Fast forward to today, Mat is one of my most trusted brothers. In this conversation, you will get a glimpse at the depth of character and the quality of inquiry that Mat wields. Having these types of conversations with Mat definitely helped catalyze the Great Unlearning journey I’m on today. He has a unique way of asking questions and framing the world, and if you really take a moment to consider the questions he asks and do some of that inner work with us, those small internal shifts can really make a huge difference in the way you approach life. We Discuss: 04:30 - Why the exercise community is like the trunk of a tree 10:00 - Learning to show up as the person who I want to be (and not the person who I think I’m supposed to be) 14:55 - Why did I build such a strong suit of emotional armor when I was younger? 18:30 - Owning the fear 25:10 - Creating the software of your own operating system 30:10 - Being empathetic and understanding as a parent 39:45 - What happens when you’re on a pedestal 49:15 - Being on purpose 53:50 - Embodying both masculine and feminine energy 56:30 - A different view on trauma and history 01:08:30 - Learning from your triggers (and not quieting them) Resources: The Four Agreements: www.thefouragreements.com (http://www.thefouragreements.com/) Trauma Releasing Exercises: traumaprevention.com (http://traumaprevention.com/) Mankind Project: mankindproject.org (http://mankindproject.org/) Adyashanti 5-day silent retreat: www.adyashanti.org/programs/retreats-experience (https://www.adyashanti.org/programs/retreats-experience) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a friend!!!

Many of you may be familiar with Bill Rancic through his work on The Apprentice, where he was the season one winner before staying on for several seasons as a judge. In addition to being a TV personality, Bill is an accomplished author, popular speaker, and serial entrepreneur — but the reason I brought him onto the show is that he’s a great friend. Our relationship quickly developed from casual acquaintance to bonafide bromance because Bill is one of those guys who can get real, who is willing to share the things that are most challenging to him in an effort to move through them and grow. And that right there — that’s a step we all have to make on this Great Unlearning journey. We Discuss: 05:15 - The experiences that shaped Bill into who he is today & Bill’s first syrupy entrepreneurial venture 08:25 - Encouraging children to ask questions 10:40 - Self-interrogation 15:00 - Navigating the uncharted territory of self 18:00 - Choosing to define success for yourself & waking up to gratitude 23:15 - Shedding the macho exterior to share stories about when you were most vulnerable so that you — and the people around you — can grow 35:00 - Figuring out the Why behind shitty circumstances 41:30 - Crafting a vision for the next five years 46:30 - Inviting people into your life who will call you on your shit 49:50 - The power of potential 52:30 - Working in Connect with Bill Rancic: Website | www.billrancic.com (http://www.billrancic.com/) Instagram | www.instagram.com/billrancic (https://www.instagram.com/billrancic/?hl=en) Twitter | twitter.com/billrancic (https://twitter.com/billrancic) Facebook | www.facebook.com/billrancic (https://www.facebook.com/billrancic/) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a friend!!!

Lauren Bay-Regula is a mother of three, a business owner, and a two-time Olympian who is currently training for her third Olympic appearance on the Canadian softball team. She and her husband, Dave Regula, have experienced the difficulty of maintaining your body, your mind, your business, and your family all at the same time. You don’t want any of those plates to drop, but it’s a struggle keeping them all in the air at the same time. And things didn’t always go well. There were some dark years in there, and depression put up one hell of a fight. But because they had each other — and because they were willing to put aside their egos and ask for help — both Lauren and Dave are still spinning those plates and crushing every aspect of their lives. We often put Olympic athletes up on a pedestal, like their lives are somehow different than ours. But Lauren reminds us that being an Olympian, being a parent, being a business owner — it’s all hard, it’s all worth doing, and we often don’t give ourselves enough credit for making it through some tough shit. We Discuss: 00:02:30 - The parents who taught Lauren that sports are play 00:05:30 - Why “you want to be an athlete, you don’t want to be a softball player or basketball player,” and how parents are pushing their children to play sports in potentially unhealthy ways 00:13:05 - Life as an Olympic softball player + meeting her husband 00:15:25 - Coming out of retirement to pitch in the world championships as a 35-year-old mother of three 0016:30 - Lauren walked away from softball and didn’t play for eight years — so why did she decide to come back? 00:20:00 - How a difficult move led to the lowest point of Lauren and Dave’s life together 00:25:40 - Making it through seven long years of postpartum depression 00:30:50 - The part of depression that we almost never hear about 00:39:00 - The unreasonable expectation that mothers should have motherhood all figured out 00:43:10 - Letting go of the past to live in the present 00:53:00 - Going back to the Olympics for the 3rd time 00:59:30 - Actively working on your relationship and being willing to have conversations that suck 01:08:00 - What and who are driving Lauren and Dave to keep going 01:14:10 - “When you criticize your children, they don’t stop loving you — they stop loving themselves.” 01:16:25 - Strong Mom Strong Family 01:27:00 - The importance of finding your tribe Resources: Join Lauren’s FB Group: Strong Mom Strong Family (https://www.facebook.com/groups/193749661226193/) Download the Strong Mom Strong Family Free Guide (https://jointrakathletics.com/secrets-of-a-strong-mom36004348) Finding Mastery Podcast (https://findingmastery.net/category/podcasts/) Connect with Lauren Bay-Regula: Website | trakathletics.com (https://trakathletics.com/) Instagram | instagram.com/laurenregula (https://www.instagram.com/laurenregula/) Facebook | facebook.com/people/Lauren-Bay-Regula/100008001136700 (https://www.facebook.com/people/Lauren-Bay-Regula/100008001136700) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a...
As Director of Human Optimization at Onnit and host of the Kyle Kingsbury Podcast, Kyle Kingsbury is a living example of the optimized human. His desk is a smorgasbord of cutting edge supplements, esoteric equipment, manuals on biohacking, and texts on spiritual development, and he devotes his time to taking in as much information as possible so that he can apply and test that knowledge on himself. And when Kyle talks about optimization, he isn’t just talking about fine-tuning your body — although, damn, you should look at this guy — he’s also talking about the mental, emotional, and spiritual work that we have to do if we want to live better. I am constantly inspired and in awe at the work that Kyle puts into improving himself so that he can teach others how to do the same, and that’s why he’s the perfect choice to kick off our Great Unlearning Journey. We Discuss: 00:03:35 - The 3 major turning points in Kyle’s life after he retired from the UFC 00:04:45 - Plant medicine + the non-psychedelic tools that can help us live better 00:07:55 - The first moment Cal surrendered and found stillness—while being shot at 00:13:15 - Why you should stop just doing and start being 00:18:25 - Reframing your past to open your heart and create your future 00:21:55 - Who is your greatest teacher? 00:28:10 - An LSD journey in Arizona that didn’t go exactly as planned 00:38:20 - The ways that we teach & learn 00:50:10 - Working in Resources: Watch Cal on The Kyle Kingsbury Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7Q0exBcf_A) Onnit (https://www.onnit.com/) Paleo f(x) (https://www.paleofx.com/) (https://www.the49thmystic.com/main-landing-page) by Ted Dekker (https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Mystics-Beyond-Circle-Dekker/dp/080072979X) by Ted Dekker The Art of Breath (https://powerspeedendurance.com/artofbreath/) (http://www.warriorsofstillness.com/) by Jan Diepersloot (https://www.amazon.com/How-Eat-Move-Healthy-Personalized/dp/B01FODDJ5A) By Paul Chek Connect with Kyle Kingsbury: Website | https://www.kingsbu.com/ (https://www.kingsbu.com/) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/kingsbu/ (https://www.instagram.com/kingsbu/?hl=en) Twitter | https://twitter.com/kingsbu (https://twitter.com/kingsbu) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a friend!!!

My intention with this episode is to introduce myself — formally Jon Callahan, but known to most as Cal — and share the capital-W Why behind starting The Great Unlearn. I originally wrote a script for this, but as I was reading it, I just wasn’t sure if that was the right way to introduce the real me. So I asked some friends for their advice — shout out to Carrie Doll and Dave Regula for the assist — and they came through big time. And that’s really a big part of what I want people to get out of this show: we’ve been taught that high achievers should buckle down, muscle through, and try to do everything alone, but that’s BS advice. The people who really accomplish a lot, the people who really change lives, know when to ask for help — and I want my show to be a source for advice and stories that will help us all on this journey to becoming the best versions of ourselves. More than that, the people who really live fulfilling lives don’t do what they were told they should do. They dive deep, interrogate themselves, and figure that shit out themselves. I’m still early in this journey, but I hope you’ll walk it alongside me. There will be tears (there might already be a few in this episode) but I know that we’ll be able to walk farther together. We Discuss: 00:05:30 - The catalyst for my awakening: the mass shooting on October 1st, 2017 00:10:50 - Asking yourself, for the first time, “Why the fuck am I here?” 00:11:45 - Unlearning the lies and unspoken agreements that were drilled into us as kids, from our parents and society as a whole 00:18:00 - The Great Unlearn isn’t about throwing away everything we learned — it’s about questioning them, maybe for the first time, and deciding whether or not those agreements serve us 00:20:00 - The idea of “Working In” (as opposed to Working Out) 00:22:00 - Why I chose The Great Unlearn as the title for this show 00:25:30 - Maximization Vs. Optimization 00:34:40 - My favorite quote: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” 00:48:50 - A text from a friend that rocks me to my core (in a good way) every time I read it 00:54:30 - Only speaking from direct experience 00:59:05 - “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” Resources: Listen to my interview on The Inner Circle with Carrie Doll (https://www.carriedoll.co/post/cal-callahan) Chekinstitute.com (https://chekinstitute.com/) Drjoedispenza.com (https://drjoedispenza.com/) Burningman.org (https://burningman.org/) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a friend!!!

My name is Jon Callahan — you can call me Cal — and I invite you to join me as we dive deep into understanding and undoing the programming within us.  We were told that if we look a certain way, act a certain way, and follow the “right” path, that we would get everything: a 40-year career, a nice car, and enough 0’s at the end of our paycheck. But, along the way, you discovered that, perhaps, that isn’t what you wanted, that isn’t what makes you feel whole, that isn’t what makes you feel fulfilled. So it’s time to start asking questions and unlearning the BS that we were fed growing up. I’m excited to embark on this journey with all of you. It’s difficult to navigate these choppy waters alone — to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted — but, if we can lean on each other for support, I know we can all learn how to actually be the best version of ourselves.
