The Great Unlearn
Cal Callahan
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
