The Great Unlearn
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.

81. Boyd Varty, Chase Reeves, Greg Buth | Our Lessons From the South African Bush and The Parallels Between Tracking and Life
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

77. Charles Clay | Listening to Our Body’s Navigation System, Tapping Into Creator Consciousness and Taking Care of Our Emotional Wounds
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

74. Dr. Craig Koniver | Health Optimization Through Groundbreaking Protocols: NAD+ and Ketamine
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
