The Great Unlearn

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. Ryan helps individuals restore health and vitality by designing customized health programs that address genetic weaknesses, nutritional deficiencies, emotional traumas, and performance issues. Ryan has been able to help a range of patients from NBA Players to children with Autism foster the capacity to heal themselves. We Discuss: 3:50 - Ryan’s four core areas of interdisciplinary learning 4:39 - His tragedy that he fostered into a super power 7:50 - The culmination of events that led to Ryan being bedridden for two years 28:33 - Focus on strengthening your body, not eliminating exposure to malicious material 30:00 - The key focus of Ryan’s work: Water 40:45 - How humans make decisions 43:40 - Physics is fundamental to biology 46: 20 - Human Design - Metamorphic Human Design - The Human Design and Astrological consulting practice of John Cole (https://metamorphichumandesign.com/) 49:09 - Using Cancer as the end stage of long term dysfunction in the body 52:17 - Healing is about consistency and fostering a desire to live life itself 01:06:43 - Our best line of defense: being still 01:12:35 - Ryan’s biggest vice 01:18:05 - Find play within the different health modalities 01:19:00 - The breakdown of people he works with 01:23:23 - Diagnosis as a downward spiral for dis-ease 01:32:46 - Our attraction happens at the genetic level 01:34:45 - The Elements program at Xenogenesis - https://xenogenesis.co/ (https://xenogenesis.co/) 01:41:21 - Superstarch: A carbohydrate the behaves like a fat - SuperStarch (https://www.generationucan.com/superstarch/) 01:48:14 - Alkaline water at the grocery store 01:52:45 - The three simple big rocks of health 02:05:00 - Inherited Trauma 02:33:03 - The Core Modalities of Ryan Frisinger 02:58:33 - Basis of the word Xenogenesis Resources: Ritual Non-Alcoholic Beverages - Receive 15% off http://bit.ly/RitualTGUP (http://bit.ly/RitualTGUP) or use Code Word: greatunlearn Richard Feymann - QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (https://www.amazon.com/QED-Strange-Theory-Light-Matter/dp/0691024170) Human Design - Metamorphic Human Design - The Human Design and Astrological consulting practice of John Cole (https://metamorphichumandesign.com/) Ryan’s Favorite Blue Blocking Glasses - https://truedark.com/ (https://truedark.com/) Quitting The Paint Factory - Quitting the Paint Factory by Mark Slouka (http://www.molvray.com/ebooks/Quitting_the_Paint_Factory_Mark_Slouka.html) Xenogenesis - https://xenogenesis.co/ (https://xenogenesis.co/) Kangen Water Machine - https://www.enagic.com/ (https://www.enagic.com/) Essentia Water - Essentia Water: Essentia 9.5 pH Water (https://essentiawater.com/) Book on inherited trauma - It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle (https://www.amazon.com/Didnt-Start-You-Inherited-Family/dp/1101980389) Bioplasma to replace Celery Juice - Cell Salts Bioplasma (https://www.hylands.com/products/bioplasma) Infrared Sauna Studies on Xenogenesis - Infrared Sauna (https://xenogenesis.co/technologies/infrared-sauna/) PMEF Mat - The Bemer Mat (https://life.bemergroup.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=bemer_life_brand) Connect with Ryan Frisinger: Website | https://kosmicanimal.com/ (https://kosmicanimal.com/) For those in the Austin Area | https://xenogenesis.co/...

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.

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!!!
