Fan favorite lion tracker, Boyd Varty, is back with us and diving into the “art” of suffering – a self-inflicted phenomenon.It’s safe to say that we’ve all suffered one time or another, but oftentimes people remain in the drama-filled stories that they, themselves, have created. I know I have. With this, the suffering doesn't end... it only replicates. 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

You may have heard me use this term a few times (or ten) to express going within ourselves to rediscover our innate self-love; to better understand who we are and why we show up the way we do; to shine a light on our shadows and make peace with those darker places within. Well, today’s guest is where the concept of “working in” all originated.Paul Chek is on the cast today and I couldn’t be more thrilled to sit down with him and share with you his genuine desire to spread his healing medicine with the world.In this rich and kind-hearted conversation, Paul and I explore...→ Shadow vows: a new way to honor your partner in ceremony.→ Understanding our shadows, where they came from, and what happens when we don’t work to heal them.→ Ways that people often project their own feelings of scarcity / repression and how this hinders seeing others for who they truly are.→ Why honoring individual values allows for a harmonious life.→ Self-love as the basis for our experience of life.→ How to create and honor a sustainable work-life balance.References:• Owning Your Own Shadow: https://amzn.to/2HZrSoc• You Can Have It All: https://amzn.to/3etTQUJ• The Forbidden Rumi: https://amzn.to/3mVKPqp• Future of Life: https://amzn.to/3l3gzt9• The Last 4 Doctors You'll Ever Need: https://bit.ly/38mN9CG• How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy!: https://amzn.to/38eTYGpConnect with Paul:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paul.chek/• Chek Institute: https://chekinstitute.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

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

A force to be reckoned with on the personal growth scene, Preston Smiles is a conscious businessman, family man, experiential speaker, author of Love Louder, Founder of Kaboom Coaching, and Co-founder of The Bridge Method.No matter what “side” of the current revolution you reside, this conversation with Preston is an essential listen. 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)
